Reading that gave me a headache. I agree the Seahawks win hurt quite a bit. Seahawks still have road games against Minnesota (next week) and Arizona but 3 relatively easy games (@ Baltimore, but don't discount west coast team playing on east coast, vs Cleveland and vs St Louis). Without looking at it as in depth as you, I think we go for the route that includes passing the loser of the Minnesota/Seattle game. Man how things would be different if we traded the AFC West victories for wins over Seattle, Minnesota and Detroit. We might be at 50% odds of a playoff spot right now considering we'd be 5-2 in the conference, 3-1 in the division and H2Hs over Seattle and Minnesota (not to mention being 2 GB Minnesota for divison and 1 GB atlanta for WC with likely tiebreakers)
