Trent Lawless,

Isn't it true that if the Seahawks defeat Arizona next week in Seattle than they automatically clinch the NFC West?

I think so because the Seahawks would be up by 3 games with 3 to play and, although the Seahawks and Cardinals would've split the season series (provided the Seahawks win next week), the Seahawks have already swept both the Rams and the 49ers. Haven't the Cardinals lost twice to the 49ers this year? ;D If so, then a Seahawks victory next week would guarantee the Seahawks a better division record and thus the NFC West title and an automatic first round playoff game at home at Qwest Field?

I think that is correct, but I'm not positive.

I should probably also change the title of this thread to The Hawkaholics or something since you are also a big Seahawks fan too.

Mr. Vegas,

Your reasoning is sound. If only the dastardly Cardinals hadn't vanquished the mighty mighty Cleveland Browns, we wouldn't need to have this conversation in quite such depth.

We are the only ones likely to post in this thread. We are the only enlightened ones.

That's good to know about the Seahawks' playoff scenario.

Today's Seahawks victory was shown locally on FOX but if next weekend's game isn't shown locally on FOX then I am going to the Seahawks bar down the street to make sure I watch it. It would be great seeing the Seahawks clinch the division next weekend.

In 2004, I actually went to the Seahawks-Cardinals game at Qwest Field in Seattle in December of that year when I visited my parents for Christmas. In that game, the Seahawks eliminated the Cardinals from possibly making the playoffs by defeating them. Hopefully next weekend the Seahawks can eliminate the Cardinals from clinching the division.

Oh my, a Seahawks thread.....I'm no expert here but I would think that a team that was darn lucky to beat the hapless St. Louis Rams will probably have limited luck getting out of the Wild Card round in the playoffs. Hate to rain on your parade, but Hasselback and Alexander and Morris are not going to lead this team to the Super Bowl this year. I think Dallas and Green Bay will own the NFC. Maybe Minnesota might come on strong with their strong running game and decent defense, but most of the other teams are going to struggle. The NFC is so weak compared to the AFC anyways. I can't believe the New York Giants -- and they really suck -- are in contention for a playoff bid. Yeesh..

Yeah, you are NO expert. Your ignorant anti-WWE comments on the John Cena video thread proved that. And you are wrong here too.

If the Seahawks defeat the Cardinals this Sunday then they clinch the NFC West which means they can automatically host a Wild Card round game at Qwest Field were the Seahawks are 5-1 this year. Also, many ACTUAL experts consider Qwest Field among the loudest stadiums in the NFL which is statistically backed up by the number of false starts called on the opponents' offense. Look at the previous posts in this thread where Pure Hatred, an ACTUAL expert who writes columns on the NFL, even said trhe Seahawks have "a dog of a home field advantage."

Sudden death in the NFL playoffs- anything can happen you only have to win 1 game at a time and not a series. The Seahawks may or may not get past the first round of the playoffs, but playing at Qwest Field means they definitely have more than "little chance."

[PureHatred]

The Hawks should win a first round game pretty easily, actually.

Their season begins the next week in Lambeau. If someone could find Shaun Alexander's heart, that would be a MUCH more interesting game since the Packers don't really play the run well and the Seattle offense is very effective when Hasselbeck takes short drops...so the pass rush won't be as effective..it's actually an attractive match-up, depending on the weather.

Mr. Smart aleck,

I don't care if someone who calls himself "Pure Hatred" writes for anything, the Seahags are not that good. Dude, do you watch the NFL? The AFC is that much better. Dallas and Green Bay are the only two NFC teams that have consistently shown they have the stuff to compete with the AFC, and both those teams will get smacked around in the Super Bowl. Kinda like last year. Kind of like every year since the late 90s.

I forgot, debating sports at filsingergames.com is useless. Idiot Seahags homer.

This from the guy whose very next post calls someone an idiot. Also the same guy who every other post is asine smart a$$ commentary that adds very little content to the conversation. If LWPD, Tournament Master, or JimSteel, guys who show class on these boards had said it, maybe I'd care, but since it's just a reincarnation of josharpie who cares.

Dude, don't complain about class when you very rarely show any in any of your posts.

Hogan,

Relax bro, it's a discussion board. I'm not a Seahawks fan, and I don't think they're the best by far, but you're acting as if they're the Oakland Raiders. Sure they've had some close calls against teams with 500 or less records, but then again, so has every good team including the Patriots.

On a side note Pure Hatred, while his board name is not something I'd name my first child, is indeed a very insightful poster, and has written very entertaining articles on 411mania.com. I highly recommend you (or any sports fan for that matter) read the 5 step drop every Thursday morning.

[Trent Lawless]

And this thread was mainly a way for Mr. Vegas and I to have fun in our mutual Seahawk fandom. Don't let it get shut down or the 12th man will have to come and get you both.

[PureHatred]

I' m not defending my opinion based on my message board handle.

I do think it's sort of unfair to blast "hogan" based on a post he made in another thread...even though it WAS incredibly stupid, baseless, and factually wrong.

On this topic, he basically said he doesn't think the Seahawks are getting out of the Wild Card ound and they aren't really Super Bowl contenders:

--Barring injury, I'd say Seattle is a LOCK to get out of the WC (they project to the 3 seed in the NFC which means they will likely host the Giants or possibly AZ. The Vikes will probably go to Tampa). Their homefield is nasty, and they still have a good QB and a good head head coach, and a better than average defense that creates turnovers.
--As I said, if Alexander cowboys up, a second round game in Lambeau is more interesting: Seattle matches up well with them.

The 'Hawks are definitely a dark horse, but it's not completely off-base to say they have a shot to at least go to an NFC Title game.

Long day, I just got home for the night.

Hogan,

I never said anything about the Hawks advancing to the Super Bowl. That would be cool, but right now I'm really just thinking pragmatically and hoping they can win again on Sunday which would be their 5th straight victory.

But I did write (and I do stand by my previous post) I disagreed with you saying the Seahawks will only have "limited luck" advancing past the opening Wild Card round simply because they barely won on the road against St. Louis-who has been playing improved football over the past few weeks as the Rams have won 3 of their last 4 games. Once again, if the Hawks defeat Arizona in Seattle on Sunday, they lock up not only a playoff spot but also the NFC West Championship which, once again, guarantees them a home game in the Wild Card round. And, as I pointed out in my earlier post, the Hawks are much tougher playing at home at Qwest Field than you seem to understand with your "limited luck" comment.

[PureHatred]

Coming into this week, they are a combined 21-4 over the last three seasons at Qwest Field.

Thank you Pure Hatred. I appreciate your response. I will not address Havoc's nonsense since he seeks attention and I think that is obvious to all around here. I was simply wanting to discuss how I felt about the Seahawks' chances during this season's playoffs NOT on some other post about John Cena. I didn't think that was hard to figure out and when it was posted as such, yeah, I had every right to be ticked off.

Everyone knows Havoc is out for a fight. Not hard to figure out. What a loser. Yeah, punk, I'm calling you out.

I think the Arizona/Seattle match-up will go a long way to determining where things stand with Seattle's season. I would predict Seattle winning this game due largely to Boldin being out and Fitzgerald also injured. Warner will have no one to toss too. That is not good for Arizona.

And then you proceed to address my supposed "nonsense." Which is it, Einstein. Make up your mind.

I'm not looking for a fight. Fighting with you is like picking on the retarded kid in class. While fun for maybe five seconds, it's just not fair.

Oh, no. He just called me a loser .....and a punk...... This is the type of "class" one deals with on this Internet thread.

Out of respect for Mr. Vegas, another member of the board who exhibits this "class" that you seek while failing to hold yourself, I will no longer respond in this thread unless he feels that it is neccessary for me to point out your douchebaggery.

[stephenvegas]

Havoc is cool and he knows his sports. I welcome his insight on a sports thread anytime.

Hogan,

On your first post here you came across as really condescending with your comments such as "oh my a Seahawks thread" and then proceeded to bash them while offering weak evidence to back your point. I mentioned the Cena thing because I wanted to show that it's not the first time you have said something negative without really looking at the facts and it was in response to your patronizing post.

This is a dicussion board. And if you want, you can say something negative about the Seahawks on this thread- but expect me to call you on it if you don't offer good evidence to support your argument. The Seahawks might not get out of the first round of the playoffs. But if so then it certainly won't be because they came close to losing to a recently improved Rams team on the road.

[stephenvegas]

This Sunday's game between the Cardinals and the Seahawks won't be shown on local TV here in my home town of Las Vegas. So I am going to go down a few blocks to the local Seahawks bar (it's also a Mariners bar in the summer) to see the game.

This game is really important. If the Sehawks win, they win the NFC West (I think - you can correct me if I am wrong). But, if they lose, they lose the season series to the Cardinals.

Let's Go Seahawks!
