"4th and stupid".. the only thing that's going to fail is fading Carolina Saturday afternoon,
and banking on the Seagulls to win the NFC. Carolina has a +3 TO ratio and Arizona has a +8,
but that takes into account the earlier part of the season, when these were different teams.
Carolina is twice as good as they were in October and Arizona is not even half as good as they were.
I realize it's sharp during the regular season not to consider momentum or overrate recent performances,
but that does not apply at the cusp of the tournament. Don't even think about comparing what Carolina
has done in December to what Arizona has done in December. and btw Larry Fitzgerald has said he is
done with the team which is not a positive note to go into a wild card game with.
Now about Seattle. In December they beat Eagles 24-14, 49ers 17-7, "Cardinals" 35-6, Rams 20-6.
All of those opponents have laughable pass games. Cam Newton is not Mark Sanchez. Romo and Rodgers ?
Both the Cowboys (undefeated on the road) and Packers are more talented than the Seagulls. Lest you
forget, Dallas put up 30 pts in the win at Seattle in October, and Dallas is better now.
For many of the Seagulls wins the win was in danger most of the game, only eventually did they lock
it down.. why ? Why is because they have difficulty scoring. They also have no weather advantage.
If anyone is reading too much into things it's the Seagull homers who are cocky because they won the
NFC last season while they are overlooking the strengths of this year's competition.
