I can maybe buy into the Panthers being the exception to the rule, but the 2010 Seattle Seahawks just weren't very good. Their losses were;

4-12 Denver Broncos (31-14)
7-9 St. Louis Rams
8-8 Oakland Raiders
10-6 Giants (41-7)
11-5 Saints (34-19)
10-6 Chiefs (42-24)
6-10 49ers
13-3 Falcons (34-18)
10-6 Tampa (38-15)

Seattle only beat 2 winning record teams a 11-5 Bears team who they later lost to in the playoffs, and a 9-7 Chargers team. All 9 of their losses were by 2 or more touchdowns and their total point differential for the year remains the lowest by a playoff team in NFL history at a whopping -97. The game that decided the division that year was a week 17 match up between a 6-9 team (Seattle) and the 7-8 rams team.

I'm not saying they were a great team by any stretch. But even when you list those losses, the worst of the bunch was Week 2 @Denver, when D. Thomas basically introduced himself to the league. Aside from that you have 2 divisional losses and then every other loss is to a team that went .500 or better. All I was pointing out was that their schedule was pretty tough overall. Their division was also competitive in that no one team was truly terrible, (I'm thinking 3-13 or worse as my definition for terrible). Honestly I think part of the reason they won their wild card game as well was that it was rematch against the Saints. Weird things happen a lot of the time when teams play in the regular season, then again in the playoffs. Happened again in the next round when they played a Bears team that they actually beat in the regular season.

I'd agree Panthers wear a bit of a different animal, they did win their last 4 games in a row to get into the playoffs (and hell, 17 regular season games in a row at this point).

Heading to the Bills/Redskins game. Hoping for the best, but prepared for an emotional Redskin-esque let down.

Wish I was going. I have a feeling it'll be a good/weird game that stays close, but I have a feeling we're going to squeeze out a win.

Dear Chiefs fans. I apologize on behalf of whoever the fuck came up with the idea of the Ravens gold pants today.

I am truly sorry that you have to watch this abortion with the added insult of tacky uniforms.

We need a complete sweep of the NFC East this week. Rooting for Bills, Panthers, Arizona to do the job. 2 of the 3 are capable at least. I want my misery to be felt by others!

Kellen Moore era begins same way Romo era did. Picks. Lots of picks.

Covering Beckham Jr with a Linebacker really seems like a terrible idea

Holy shit! He actually dropped a pass

Redskins on the board early. Maybe this will be the first time this year they can get out to a big lead and actually KEEP it.

Jordan Reed is just destroying defenses. Long as they don't put him in to block ever, it's fine.

It really seems like JPP and JJ Watt are pretty useless with those clubs on their hands. I don't understand how effective a defensive player can be if one of his hands is essentially useless.

Decent start by the Skins. If D can make some adjustments to contain Taylor a little more, I like our chances.
