NFL Week 17: Just Like A Peter Jackson Finale, Squeezed Inside 10 Hours

[derspiess]

A disappointing year so far.  An average Seahawks team wins the NFC by default because Arizona ran out of Quarterbacks.  And unless you are Timmay there isn't much to be excited about coming out of the AFC either.  Put it this way, the Cowboys might win this year. 

I think it's been a pretty fun year.  Aside from disappointment in whatever your favorite team is, what more do you want?  I'm not a Cowboys fan but it wouldn't kill me if they won the Super Bowl.

The seahawks aren't average. Based on number crunching Nate Silver thinks if they win the Super Bowl they have a case to be considered the best team ever.

Also, a potential last(ish) run for Manning / Brady in the AFC is sort of exciting, isn't it?

A)  The Seahawks have underperformed this year, and B) it would be a weak case.

I'm not saying they are the best team ever, but they exceeded their over/under wins for the season (11), got home field throughout the playoffs, and were 2nd in the league in scoring differential. They started slow, which seems to have started a narrative that has stuck, but I don't think they underperformed.

I gotta agree with AR.  Objectively, the Hawks looked like crap the first half of the season (I think due to the loss of players, etc), but I think Wilson and company have gotten the kinks worked out and back in stride for the second half.

Whether it will carry them through to the Bowl...we'll see.

Nate Silver needs to have his numbers checked by someone who knows something about football

The looked pretty bad in the first half against a bad Rams team.

Nate Silver needs to be run over by a Steamroller
