1. Oh man. Would that get the whiners all pissy.
They'd still say Seattle doesn't deserve it, even though by that time they'd have KO'd the defending champs AND won a game on the road.

It's a long shot, but I so hope it happens.

3. It could happen..
Seattle beat the Bears in Chicago earlier this year, and the Packers certainly have a good chance against the Falcons. It would serve the NFL and it's stupid playoff setup right having a 7-9 regular season team getting two playoff home games and to be the host of the NFC Championship..

The NFL needs to tweak their rules. After determining the 1-6 playoff teams, the 3-6 clubs that play on the first weekend, should be seeded by record, not by who won what division.

5. Seattle Coach Pete Carroll: Seahawks Only Need 3 Losses To Reach Super Bowl
RENTON, WA—Just a day after Seattle became the first team with a losing record to make the playoffs, a jubilant and confident head coach Pete Carroll announced that the Seahawks were only three losses away from reaching the Super Bowl.

"Not only am I sure this team can lose the next three, but we're going to go to Arlington, lose to whatever team they put in front of us, and bring home a Super Bowl trophy to Seattle," Carroll told reporters during a press conference Monday. "The question isn't if we are going to lose, but how much we are going to lose by. I'm predicting 40 or 50 points."

"This is our year," he added.

Citing two early-season wins, Carroll, who gave his players the week off to prepare for the Jan. 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, admitted to previously having doubts that his team could lose enough games to make a playoff run....
