    WTF are you talking about? I'd just love to read something by Deitsch or MMQB about how it all broke down. I don't think we've ever had a AFC-NFC breakdown like this.

    The benefit for your guys is they get an extra day or rest for the following week. I think that will be huge heading to Denver.

    The scheduling is also rough for Seattle with the potential of playing back to back 10 am PST games. Obviously they could have won more and earned a better seed, but this schedule does them no favors.

    Question from Twitter last night - besides a Super Bowl, when was the last time Michaels did a game that started before 8 EST?

    Those sacks are to some degree the work of the offense in the first half of the year and against weak sisters like the Titans. A defense with a 20 point or more second half lead ought to pile up sacks. The opponent is passing all the time. The pass rush was the best part of the defense. Competent is not criticism, it means "good enough to win if the offense does its job." But the Seahawks or Broncos they aren't.

    When did Minnesota move to the Eastern Time Zone?

    Don't think anyone here said they did, but Seattle potentially playing back-to-back week at games that start at 10 a.m. PST isn't easy.

    Someone must think Seattle-Minnesota game starts at 1 p.m. CST.

    Didn't seem to bother the Seahawks when they had back-to-back road games starting at 10 a.m. PST last month.

    Minnesota is two hours ahead of Seattle, therefore 10 a.m. PST.

    It's a 1 p.m. EST time start.

    Therefore it's a noon CST start.

    Therefore, it's a 10 a.m. PST start.

    Edited to correct above.

    Panthers game is already set for 1 p.m. on Jan. 17. So No. 6 seed Seahawks would definitely play there if they win.

    Well, I'm pretty sure they aren't flying in the night before the game, so the time difference shouldn't matter. But if the Seahawks lose and Wilson says it was because of the game's starting time, I will sit corrected.

    And those flights have to be miserable and not relaxing at all. You know, working for a billion dollar company and all. Probably don't even get food and drinks on those awful cross country flights!
