poll question.

I, for one, am 100% sure,

I'd say I'm about 90% sure. Anything can happen it's the NFL so both games are losable, but I like the Hawks in both games.

Even with the offense being a bit mistake prone as of late, I feel comfortable with voting 100%. Arizona won't score the 16+ points they'll need to beat Seattle with such atrocious personnel on offense, and Jeff Fisher probably won't be dumb enough to attempt another con on Pete Carroll during week 17 with the whole world looking for it. Dallas needs to win out and get some help to secure the #1 over Seattle.

I thought that unless there's a threeway tie, Dallas wins the tiebreaker over us (both being 12-4).

The thing is it's looking VERY likely that the NFC North Champ will be 12-4.

With GB and DET playing each other the last game, even if Dallas wins out, all we need is one other 12-4 team for the 3 way tie, which guarantees SEA the 1 Seed.

Basically we need to root for Dallas to lose vs. Indy. But even if DAL wins out, we are OK with either GB or DET @ 12-4. If they both win next week, we are guaranteed HFA. (Assuming we win both our games)

So, we root for GB (@ TB) and DET (@CHI) next week because that seals HFA for us if we win out.

GoHawks.

Oooo yeah. Really starting to like these odds. Them beating those two teams this year seems a near slam dunk, sure thing.

Only we gotta get past Ari and STL. My confidence level after today is a bit shaken. We gotta get that red zone efficiency popping. Especially into the playoffs. We might eek the next two out, but the playoffs is a whole other bag.

Did you notice the difference in the 2nd half? That's the norm for now on. Niners were playing their asses off in the 1st and it was looking like the typical trap game. Then we hut them down. Lynch was awesome and came close to breaking a couple. We're done losing this season.

I agree, but it depends on happens on what other teams do and if you do that it usually is not meant to be , I still think we will get to the super bowl again but I think we are going to have to win at home and on the road to get back there.

Wellllll, technically we're depending on what other teams do to get the #1 seed. We win out and the division is ours and we have at LEAST the #2 seed.

Yes that is true , as long as the Seahawks take it game by games quarter by quarter , we will be hosting .

That's a pretty massive gap between 100% and 50%.

I'm a little less than 70% sure. Probably ~80% confident against Arizona and ~88% confident against St. Louis. That's about 70%, then subtract a percent or two for goofy scenarios where winning out doesn't get us the 1 seed.

Dallas is 3-4 at home, 7-0 on the road.

If they get the one seed, it isn't the worst thing in the world.

lot's of great points. I agree that if we don't get the #1 I think we can make hay with the #2. go hawks!! :thirishdrinkers:
