NFL continuing to baby Seattle?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/sea/


Seems since 2012 and the intertouchdownception debacle that happened, the NFL has been babying this team including last year when they won the SB.

Their schedule seems set up to make them succeed yet again with only 2 tough road games all season long, one @ Philly and the other in the division @ SF. I dont believe the SD game means anything.

They get all tough teams at home, or what tough teams will manage to even be on the schedule, being GB and Denver. One could make the argument they go on the road against 2 playoff teams in the AFC West in SD and KC, but lets be honest here about these 2 teams, KC faced bad teams with no QB for what? 10 straight games and then simply decided to let SD into the playoffs, kind of a weak argument when broken down.

It is what it is...

But there are no certain outcomes when it comes to the NFL and seemingly weak teams can prove to be difficult opponents i.e. Saints vs Rams.

Opponents is based on Standings from the previous season, and a rotation... 8 games are home and 8 games are away. The only thing that is up to the NFL to decide is when and where.

You still have to play them. You still have to beat them.

Re: NFL continuing to baby Seattle?

We have to face it. Seattle is really good. They are THE reason Payton is making drastic changes on both sides of the ball. I HATE Seattle! That run by Lynch makes my blood boil. I hate Sherman, Lynch, Carol. I'd give anything to watch Khiry Robinson go for 150+ vs the Seahawks. Who Dat!

Re: NFL continuing to baby Seattle?

the worst things about the Seahawks is their holding and hitting early on receivers - no calls

Did the 12th Man put a horses head in the refs bed the night before?
