Fear not - Seattle will stomp a mud hole in them before it is over and we will back into the playoffs...

Re: Don't look now but
I hate relying on other teams to make the post season.

Re: Don't look now but
Actually, having secured the #1 seed, it makes sense to let Arizona win and trying to keep the other strong NFC team (us) out of the playoffs since we lost today.
Not that Carroll could actually do that (with his ego) I think. |

Seattle isn't laying down, they're just in a hard-fought game right now. |

Also our money play... the screen out of the backfield, has been defended very well in the past two games.
Right now after losing three out of four games, and splitting out last ten, arguably we are not a strong playoff team, and I don't see how this team can go on the road and get a win even in Philly, Dallas, or whichever team from the central you want to throw in there. |

Re: Don't look now but
A divison rival is more a threat than the Saints.
