Most are saying we beat Seattle but won't survive the second round...

"had this been a playoff game – we would have had to play some of the same guys we did today."

I think he's BS'ing here. I hope that really a bunch of our guys could have gone, but were being saved for the playoffs. He knows which games count, and which ones dont. I hate losing any game, but thats me. Payton knows when to hold em and when to fold em.
