Does Seattle still NOT deserve to be in the playoffs??

**Hotdiggity11** · 01-08-11, 06:33 PM

Not over yet but they are very impressive.

**OmgUrMom** · 01-08-11, 06:36 PM

hasselback playing a hell of a game

**diesel77004** · 01-08-11, 06:39 PM

this is the best game i have seen in a looooong time.... hassel looks like brady back there !

**jgray** · 01-08-11, 06:39 PM

Assuming they win, they will have won one game. They did that 7 times this year, too. They still didn't finish with a .500 record which should be a prerequisite.

Cleveland beat the Patriots. Should they be in the playoffs?

Come on Sammy, how does a 7-9 team deserve to be in the playoffs? Assuming they hold on today it's because the Saints did not show up, and saying a team that didn't even win half of it's games should be in the playoffs is just stupid.

no one can predict a division to be as bad as the West was this year

Seattle deserves the playyoffs.....but not a home gm

**mlb** · 01-08-11, 07:12 PM

they won their division hard to not say that haha

**OmgUrMom** · 01-08-11, 07:14 PM

seattle is trying to blow it with all these dropped passes on offense

**OmgUrMom** · 01-08-11, 07:15 PM

oh and the delay of game oh and the roughing. jesus they might blow this

**RichDoggP** · 01-08-11, 07:16 PM

3/4 of a good game doesn't mean deserves the playoffs. They have a losing record. Once the Saints finish this comeback they will finish 7-10. That's not a playoff team

But it's only the playoffs. The more teams the better. It's not like the winner of the Super Bowl is the league's best team.

So your defense is that they deserve to be in because they were in a terrible division? If the division was bad they should have gone 11-5. Going 7-9 against terrible teams just proves they don't belong.

**hankcream** · 01-08-11, 07:25 PM

Tampa should be playing instead of the Seabags

It's not their fault that nobody else in that division stepped up.

The more teams the better? You've obviously never watched the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Well that's got to be the only reason for the playoffs. You can't actually say that the winner of the playoffs in any league is actually the best team in said league.

Fukk all the haters who said Seattle didn't deserve to be in the playoffs

I like how you started a thread to talk shit once they took the lead. Im sure when they went down 10-0 you weren't thinking the same thing. GTFO loser!

or you can go back to last week where people made these threads and I posted the same thing and then start talking shit again

**blueghost** · 01-08-11, 07:45 PM

over now

seahawks

**SamsNCharge99** · 01-08-11, 07:48 PM

now the Giant and TBAY fans can shut up saying they deserve to be in

**beerman2619** · 01-08-11, 07:50 PM

Who is the clown that started this post get real son. Yeah start this thread now that it looks like Seattle will upset the Saints. But no they didn't deserve to get into the playoffs. Like someone posted earlier the Browns beat up on the Pats earlier. The Vikings with a 3rd string qb won in Philly. It happens any team can beat any team in the NFL. This win doesn't mean a 7 and 9 team deserves to be in playoffs.

**nobs** · 01-08-11, 07:50 PM

yeah they still dont deserve to be in the playoffs.

They played an entire season and won 7 games while losing 9.

No, in the NFL a 7-9 team does not deserve to be in the playoffs.

They got lucky by being in the worst division in the history of the NFL, but to say they DESERVE to be in the playoffs is just not correct.

They got the home game even though they played a far easier schedule than the Saints and won 4 games less than the Saints.

You tilt the rules enough and make the game unfair enough any team in the NFL can beat any other team in the NFL.

Fact is home field in the playoffs is huge, and I said 2 weeks ago that it wouldnt be surprising if the NFC West winner won the first game since they would unfairly have home field advantage.

But yeah it still stands, the Seahawks do not deserve to be in the playoffs.

You could start letting 3-13 teams in the playoffs and give them the home field call advantage and you would see that some of those 3-13 teams would win.

That doesnt prove that a 3-13 team DESERVES to make the playoffs.

**SamsNCharge99** · 01-08-11, 07:51 PM

I love the haters saying I made this b/c Seattle is winning....I didn't bet either side of this game

and I have been saying this for weeks

**beerman2619** · 01-08-11, 07:52 PM

By the way Giants and Tampa roll the Saints if they had a chance to play them. Bucs beat up on the Saints in New Orleans last week.

**JD426** · 01-08-11, 07:52 PM

so they lose to Atlanta instead of New Orleans, what's the difference. Other NFC teams had a legitimate shot of actually making it to the superbowl, Seattle does not.

I think most of the complaining was about the fact that they were going to have home field (call ) advantage, and the only reason people complained about it was that by having home field (call ) advantage, they had a decent shot at winning.

I really dont think this outcome shocks anyone.

If you are a 7-9 team who lucked in by being in a division where 7-9 = first place, then you should have to at least play on the road against an 11-5 team who was unfortunate enough to be in a division where 11-5 = second place

2/3 of the betting public disagrees - and those are just the ATS people.

**Fed_42420** · 01-08-11, 08:48 PM

They won their division, they deserve the playoffs, that's simple. You know going in you only have to win your division to make the playoffs, nothing more.
