Notable good news:
---Nfl pickwatch has us at a 67% chance to win vs rams, but not all the votes are in.
---seahawks at a -2 vegas odds, which is less than the usual -3 on for homefield, but still we are the pick.
---Playing with this calculator, we will still have at least a slim chance as long as we beat dallas and the cards, but will
Need some other teams to lose, and not necessarily the ones you would think. Looks like some weird tiebreakers for
other teams come in to play.
Bad news:
---We didn't look good last week. Poor playcalling and strategy, poor execution. Need a better showing.
---Might be out wagner. This would be huge against the rams run game. Could be the decider.
---This game will be close and might come down to a field goal. Or a missed one if you catch my drift.
So....while this is a "must win", it isn't truly that. While no where near probable we make the playoffs if we drop this game, it is still possible. Let's keep our fingers crossed Wags is healthy enough to be Wags.
If we do make the playoffs I don't see us going the distance due to injury and stubborness to stick with a short pass/misdirection strategy, but maybe the coaches will have a change of heart.
