Seahawks are definitely playing like a playoff team. ---

Hassleback’s having one of the best games I’ve ever seen him play. ---

I admit to being completely surprised by this. If the Hawks win, and the Packers win, does that mean that the Bears get the Hawks at home? Cause, really, do the Bears really need another fucking break to go their way? ---

Highest seed gets lowest seed - GB is the 6th seed right? So they’d play Atlanta. 1v6, 2v4. ---

Seahawks 4th down defence, if they score with the short field its will be a big margin to make up ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > If the Seahawks are good enough to beat the Saints, is it really a break for the Bears? Yes. I, and a vast majority of other people, think that the Saints are a better team than the Seahawks. Getting to play the worse team at home would be a break for the Bears. ---

I have a problem. I want to root for the home team (Seahawks), but New Orleans is my favourite city. With their losing record, I’m hoping the Hawks lose to the Saints. When the game started I told my roomie that I hope it’s a close game that comes down to the wire, and that the Saints win. I hoped for a nail-biter. Having Seattle up 14 points is making this exciting. ---

Awesome. You know, for the whole of the second half, i was sure that there was something wrong with my TV. The little graphic at the bottom said that the Seahawks were leading, and i was sure that i had watched them score a bunch of touchdowns, but the commentators kept talking like Seattle was down by 21 and playing like shit. I swear, anyone listening only to the commentary and not knowing the score would have concluded that the Saints were running away with the game. ---

I will take credit as THE Doper that picked the Seahawks to win (although the Saints did get positive points). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-round/566236.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-round/566236.md?page=4)
