It mattered for a week. Then they lost the next week and it didnt matter much anymore. Had the Seahawks went 'all in' that year and made some trades to be more sure of beating us, it could have destroyed their franchise, costing them the upcoming draft picks that became Sherman, Wagner, Wilson, etc and make it hard for them to resign Lynch. They beat us as scrappy underdogs with the same team they had since Week 5 and without giving up major picks or nuking their cap. Had they gone all in like some are suggesting here, they still would not have beat Aaron Rodgers or Ben Roethlisberger in the playoffs that year and they would have nuked the rebuild that got them a ring a couple years later. We are already way more leveraged than that Seahawks team was in cap dollars and traded draft picks. Leveraging ourselves more in the name of their model in insanity. They won while rebuilding, largely with what they had. Thats what I want to do.
