In a typical playoff year a 1 seed coming off of a bye playing a 6 seed in the second round would be a mismatch. Not this year. Seattle is a 6 seed in name only. Despite finishing the year 5 games behind 15-1 Carolina, Seattle has the 4th best point differential in the NFL, only 36 points behind the Panthers. They’re without question one of the top 3 teams in their conference if not top 2 depending on how you feel about the Cardinals. A game worthy of the NFC Championship, Panthers/Seahawks is by far the best game on paper in the divisional round. However it is a game that wouldn’t be happening if Blair Walsh would’ve made a chip shot field goal for Minnesota last week. Pete Carroll should be thanking his lucky stars his team lives to fight another day. Continue reading →

It’s going to be very cold in Minnesota on Sunday.  It’s safe to assume that the wintery weather will have some effect on the game, but there’s no predicting what that effect will be.  The most common prediction is that the frigid weather will slow everyone down and it will be a low scoring affair.  Vegas must agree with this line of thinking, since the over/under is hovering around 39.5, the lowest of all the games on Wild Card weekend.  The spread is also modest, with the general consensus having Seattle swallowing 5 points.  It isn’t difficult to imagine a scenario where this is all true, and mother nature levels the playing field a little. It also shouldn’t be hard to envision Seattle going into Minnesota and slaughtering them in a way that makes you feel bad for watching. Continue reading →

A DangerRuss Game

Every day that passes in the Seahawks negotiation with Russell Wilson Seattle fans get a little more concerned. Now the question remains, which side is going to give in first? HardFoulSports.com’s Jim Bearor examines the situation.

The longer a negotiation goes on, the less likely it is to be successful. Coming to terms takes time though, and when the issue being negotiated is a long term contract for a franchise quarterback, what the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson have been going through seems almost reasonable. But as far as anyone can tell, there is still a clear divide between the two parties.

According to Wilson’s camp, the deal breaker is guaranteed money.  Paul Allen and the Seahawks aren’t willing to change the way they do business, even for a player as talented and valuable as Russell Wilson.  Wilson is still under contract and set to make $1.5 million this year. He has said more than once that he’ll be on the field regardless of how his contract negotiation goes. However, after this
year, something is going to have to give.
