That Washington win was enormous for them. But Walsh lost that game for Seattle. New Orleans is looking good too.

If mike Evans isn't suspended a game, I fully endorse Sendejo going full tomahawk missile on goodell the first chance he gets.

Wow. Three missed field goals, none longer than 49 yards, and they lose by 3. Ouch.

And to think ... I felt sorry for Walsh until he made a field goal in the preseason and started taunting the Vikings. What a dufus.

There was a lot off fights happening this week. Mike Evans's hit was defiantly a cheap shot.

The league needs to take a hard look at itself. Players, owner, and fans are very unhappy. I can see this getting a lot worse if Goodell doesn't wake up and do his job.

The Coaching staff in SEA didn't do themselves any favors either. Rodney Harrison pointed it out on SNF pre-game: They were playing man coverage at the end when all they needed to do was play a safe cover 2 zone and tackle. I'm not sold on that team, they are not the juggernaut they were 3 or 4 seasons ago on defense. Some of their hype is based on reputation vs. the current product. They are good, but they are not the best team in the NFC.

LAR have played a soft schedule.

NFC is up for grabs right now.

I was stunned to see that.

Not the 159 yards, but the 37 carries. You just don't see that in the NFL anymore.

Does anyone know why we are the current #3 seed for the playoffs?? On NFL.com it has New Orleans as the #2 and we beat New Orleans.

My guess is because our QB situation is unsettled.

I don't think head to head helps in seeding.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in conference games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
