I'm not sure how this is going to go over with some of you, but I'm just going to say it. I'm pretty objective and tend to be able to see the bigger picture without letting bias get in the way. I thought Seattle held a slight edge tonight because we were going to their house, but I thought we at least had a chance.

It would have been a different story if this game would've been in the Superdome. Its not far-fetched to say that the location of the game tonight ended up paving the way for who is going to win the NFC. If it would've been in NO, there's no way we're not competing for the win with a good chance to win and snatch up the #1 seed.

Seattle and New Orleans are the top two places in the NFC where NO ONE wants to come. Unfortunately, now we can't make it to the Super Bowl without going back to Seattle and winning a playoff game (assuming they don't shat the bed over the next few weeks. I don't see SF giving them any trouble). Does anyone honestly think we can go back there and win a playoff game? I think it's POSSIBLE but not likely, because Seattle is probably slightly better overall as a team and the home field advantage just puts them over the edge.

Seattle's defense is filthy good, and they were even down two of their best secondary players tonight. Russell Wilson makes all the right plays when they matter. Marshawn Lynch is a monster. We were able to contain him tonight, but that allowed Wilson to throw it downfield...pick your poison. They are healthy and solid on the offensive and defensive lines. I do a NFL playoff bracket every year with some friends, and I had Seattle winning it all last year. They probably could have too if not for Shatlanta getting the lucky FG against them (we all know they would've beat SF in the NFC championship because they own SF).

And this year they probably will have home field advantage throughout. I still think the Saints are a great team and will be rooting my hardest for them, but I honestly don't see ANY team going to Seattle and winning a playoff game.

... Maybe, take up cricket?

Right, so, if I understand you correctly, we have little to nil chance of winning a playoff game soooooo....your Rx then would be? Take the rest of the season off in the Bahamas? Maybe, take up cricket?
