      yes, they are toast. after giving away last years super bowl and getting off to a horrific start this year they have given up. just going through the motions now and banking their game checks. they know with the schedule ahead of them they are doomed to not even make the playoffs and that's all right with them. if you watch pete the poodles sideline expressions and enthusiasm compared to last year you can see he has also given up and is searching want ads for college head coaching jobs for next year.

        It was a nice dynasty while it lasted. Plenty of characters, trash talk, and the emergence of one of the more embarrassing fan bases we've seen in a few years.

          No, not yet. They'll man up and win the next five games at least. They may not lose again, especially if Arizona doesn't need a win in week 17. If the Cardinals can dodge that physical matchup a week before the playoffs, they sure will. They've had the lead in the fourth quarter in every single game this season. They'll figure out a way. I expect them to be there when the games really matter, and we all know that no one wants to play them.

          Break down their remaining schedule.

          They own SF

          There's no way Pittsburgh is crossing three time zones and beating a desperate Seahawks team in Seattle

          Minnesota, an obvious pretender, is not built to compete with teams like Seattle

          Baltimore could be strangely difficult, but why the Ravens would want to win at this point is beyond me

          Cleveland at home

          A quickly fading Rams team at home

          At Arizona in the game mentioned above

            Weren't they home & desperate last night?

                Are you saying Minnesota is a playoff threat? Please.

                  They remind me a little of the Seahawks rise to power. Their defense is legit and they run the ball. I'd probably take Carolina & Arizona over them now. The rest will depend on home field. You think Green Bay is bad, wait until we get outdoor playoff games in Minnesota this year

                    I think Minnesota is built like sea but is a really different team

                    First off Lynch is no AP even though he's great in his own right. No one in history is adrian peterson.

                    Secondly, sea defense is probably the best defense in nfl history for a 3 year span.

                    The minnesota defense does not feature even one top 3 player at their position. So it's a little far fetched to say they are like seattle in that respect.

                    Diggs is better than any receiver sea has recently had.

                    Is minny a playoff threat?

                    eh. I don't know. they have the best player in football though. maybe the best player in history when it's all said and done.

                    is seattle done?

                    i don't think so.

                    as bad as seattle has played, if they get to the playoffs, they will be a compeltely different team. a lot of people will refer back to reg season numbers which mean nothing in the playoffs. that defense in the playoffs? I would not want to face them. No chance.

                      Goat I just don't see their D being the force they used to be. I get you can argue you had leads in the 4th q of I think 4 games now (Eagles had leads in 4th of 3 games they lost). They just got torched for 39 last night, gave up 27 to Carolina and honestly other than the Bears shutout, they haven't been super impressive. 2-2 at home. Their wins coming against a 4-5 bears team, a 2-7 lions team, a 3-6 San Fran team, and a 2-7 cowgirls team. Even 2 of those wins were by a combined 5 points.

                                They would have to go 3-4 to get a wild card. Probably only be favored in the Bears and Giants games at home. If the Lions can beat the Packers in Lambeau - why not the Vikes winning at home? I would say they are a threat to win 3 more games. The best thing they have going for them is that they have been playing outside the last years. The dome was the worst thing that ever happened to them and will happen again next year.

                                  As far as the Seahawks - Run option QB's need to run! Russell Wilson has schackles on him - he has been told - do not run and get hurt.

                                    Love the Hawks, but this season is pretty much over. The trade for Jimmy Graham is about as big a disaster as can be imagined. He is soft. The team gave up their best o-lineman for him. Front office gets a lot of credit for great moves, but the Percy Harvin and Jimmy Graham decisions are pretty bad. Our offense has completely moved away from what worked, which was zone read running and play action off that look. The loss last night had a lot to do with Arizona being a pretty damn good team who was a lot hungrier than Seattle. They also have 4 solid receivers, none of which are worse than our best.

                                    Stick a fork in em. 2015 is done.

                                        what does the lions beating the packers have anything to do with the minnesota gb matchup? every matchup is different.

                                            The Vikes to me are a coin flip team right now, If 10 wins gets a wildcard spot then I think they can do it, what happens after that who knows...Even if they make it and get bounced it will be a successful season, if Teddy can progress and they draft well this team is setup to be pretty damn good over the next couple years

                                                  Just like last year, look bad in first 6 games, then they hit their stride

If the Cardinals can dodge that physical matchup a week before the playoffs, they sure will. They've had the lead in the fourth quarter in every single game this season. They'll figure out a way. I expect them to be there when the games really matter, and we all know that no one wants to play them.

                                                        I wasn't asking if they're a threat to make the playoffs. I was asking if anyone actually thinks they're a threat to win in the playoffs. There's a gigantic difference.
