Football Outsiders has them measured as worst divisional winner, but not the worst playoff team ever. Let's start with the question a lot of people were asking me on Twitter last night: Are the 2010 Seattle Seahawks the worst playoff team in NFL history? At least as far as DVOA is concerned, the answer turns out to be a surprising "no." The Seahawks were so good in their final win -- their third-highest DVOA of the year, 46% -- that they climb to -23.6% overall. That puts them ahead of the 2004 Rams, who had -26.5% DVOA. The Seahawks do pass the 1998 Cardinals as the second-worst playoff team in DVOA history. What's scary here is that the 2004 Rams and 1998 Cardinals each won their first playoff game. New Orleans beware!

Quickly, someone trade Sjofn the seahawk defense so she can bench them.

So, we fired our former Chicago Bears player with no NFL head coaching experience to hire a former Chicago Bears player with no NFL head coaching experience. What could go wrong?

Not the same. Oh, I know, mostly snark, but still a lot of dollars and years for a guy who hasn't spent much time in NFL programs as a coach. My big hope at the moment is he'll run up the score on Pete Carroll some more. |

He's not the 2nd coming of Bill Walsh but I think he'll do well. Probably won't make the Super Bowl as long as the Yorks are owners, though.

It could be worse. At least your team didn't fly across the country, offer the former Chicago Bears player more money than any other head coach has ever been paid, get turned down and then decide to stick with the coach you didn't fire but let the entire world know exactly how you feel about him by publicly courting other coaches. |

I think I paced a hole in my carpet, and that was before it even kicked off! Wow. Can't believe they didn't fold at the end. Someone better buy Marshawn Lynch a steak. That was one of the most incredible runs I have ever seen. Reminded me of Larry Csonka getting personal fouls for stiff arms back in the olden days.

That run was amazing - and absolutely FANTASTIC blocking by the rest of the team. |

I just want to write a love letter to the Seahawks. Thank you for being awesome at home. Thank you for knocking the Saints out. Oh and thank you for being +425 on the money line, and that I'm just insane enough to put $10 on that for a cheap thrill.  |

That run by Marshawn was one of the all time great runs. It wasn't so much a case of missed tackles (although that contributed) so much as it was a case of "you're not motherfucking tackling me on this play". And the throw and catch earlier in the game from Hasselback to the backup TE Morrah...amazing.

Hasselback was a man possessed. He made a couple throws that defied logic. And Porter getting throw to the ground by Lynch was an epic moment in the game.

Man, the Manning Face at the end of the Jets game was fucking epic. I also enjoyed his reaction to the Colts calling timeout for some mysterious reason.

For real I think that cost them the game. |

Looks like Steelers v. Ravens next week as Flacco is carving up the Chefs, only think keeping game close is Ravens Red Zone stalls and settling for FG.

FINALLY! A fucking complete game out of this god damn team. 60 minutes of taking it to the Chiefs in their own god damn house. That game was awesome to watch - I just hope we do it again on Saturday to the Steelers.

Pack got all up in that bitch. James Starks looks like he might be an actual running back. The defense hobbled Vick and fittingly it was the defense that sealed the game for them. I'm still not sure the Packers can beat the Falcons, but it would set up a helluva championship game if they have to go to Soldier Field to get the Super Bowl. A late January game on the frozen tundra? That would be awesome.
Watch the fucking Seahawks fuck that up by winning or something.

The Pack is going to have their hands full with the Falcons in the Dome. Their record there is, well let's just say really good.

Hey guys, as a newcomer to this fancy American hand-egg type of business you lot have going on, where would I go to learn about the game. Here in Aus they do broadcast current (season?) matches, but at like 4am in the morning on Mondays or something. Are there any streams, or restreams that I could watch?
