What you say?I think that we may be looking at an upset and the Skins may take this one down.

Anyone but the Redskins... The bandwagon jumpers here in DC are getting out of control...

 
Playing this game at Qwest Field will be a big advantage for the Hawks.Qwest field will be out of control loud, and will probably get up to the sound in the Kingdome for big games. If Seattle gets any sort of momemtum early, this game will be over. The only way the Skins are going to win this game is if they and take the crowd and Seattle momemtum out of it.

Man do I want to pick Wash in this game, but Sea is justtoo tough at home. Add in the bye week and a hurting Wash team:Sea 24 Wash 20

 
I predict the Redskins will double their offensive output from their last game. Oh, and they will lose by 7 though the game won't really be that close.

Joe Gibbs can't coach any more. Clinton Portis is a dud in Washington. The Redskins defense is a porous bunch of nobodies that never causes turnovers. The Redskins offense was inept in consecutive must-win games against Dallas, the Giants, and Philadelphia. The Redskins never give full effort, and never beat teams who are "better" than them. :bag: Seattle by 50 points at least. :bag:

 
Seahawks at QWEST FIELD

Noise was a factor in forcing Qwest Field visitors into an NFL-high 24 false-start penalties during the regular season. The New York Giants committed 11 of them in a single game, and now their NFC East rivals are coming for a divisional-round playoff game.
The Seahawks have won a league-best 22 of their past 25 regular-season home games.

hawks won't beat them. seahawks had the easiest schedule in the NFL. skins had the 2nd toughest behind only san diego. skins beat tough opponents hawks beat rams, cards, and 49ers (what a tough division 3 teams that completely self destructed 6 of 13 wins against complete scrubs). hawks haven't played a meaningful game against an even average team for weeks since 11/27 against an average giants team they barely beat. hawks are soft and will be exposed by great skins defense. also hawks crappy defense will allow portis to beat them in a close game.also when you have a cream puff schedule like they do you're going to have a good home record from playing so many terrible teams. they lost to jacksonville a very average AFC team, played houston, tennessee almost lost, and a resting indy team and played all the worst NFC teams.SEATTLE'S SCHEDULE THIS YEAR MUST BE ONE OF THE EASIEST IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.cowboys and giants were the only teams over .500 they beat throwing out indy rest game. lost to the other 2 over .500 skins and jags. so they were 2-2 against teams over .500 in a 16 game schedule. color me unimpressed.

I love Joe Gibbs and it's nice to see the Redskins come back from their horrid 2004 season...but I think out of the 4 playoff games this week....this game will have the largest point gap. The Seahawks are going to win by a big margin. Take the Hawks and give the points. Book it!

That has to be the worst thought out and completely incorrect post I've ever seen on these boards. Sounds like an Iggles or Cowboys fan to me.

No it was :sarcasm:
 
I think Washington's defense will keep them in for most of the game, but eventually, a critical turnover or two by their offense will enable Seattle to pull away. I think Seattle gets a late score to cover the spread. 24-13 Seattle.

 
skins beat tough opponents hawks beat rams, cards, and 49ers
LOL....Besides the Bears and Seahawks....all other 8 wins by the Redksins were opponents that the Seaahwks beat as well.

So you call the Skins beating tough opponents, when the Hawks beat 80% of the same opponents, and then you go and say the Hawks have a cream puff schedule. You need to make up your mind already cause you are sounding like an idiot.

Hey Tird, How many threads you gonna post this in? You started your own which is very in-depth with all your three dollar inputs and I see it everywhere else as well. I think you should post this in every single thread on the site. You and jwswdfghtw should become the same user because you have the same empty arguments. Or are you the same poster? Huh.

 
SEATTLE - Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams have made a friendly wager on Saturday’s Seahawks – Redskins playoff game. Nickels put up fresh salmon from Pike Place Market, while Williams put four chili dogs from Ben’s Chili Dogs on the line."I've been meaning to try Ben's Chili Bowl and I'm looking forward to sharing a chili dog - or four - with Mayor Williams next time I'm in D.C.," Nickels said."There's nothing like fresh salmon from Pike Place Market - and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into it," Williams said."May the best team win - and our salmon stay in Seattle," Nickels said.

The last time the Skins played there they won. Here is how Seattle has done at home against +.500 teams this year:Atlanta W 21-18

Dallas W 13-10

NY Giants W 24-21

3 wins by 3 points each. Note: I didn't include the Indy game because it was meaningless and Indy rested their starters after less than one quarter of play.

For all this talk of what a great home field advantage Qwest Field is, I'm sure not seeing it. I think that 8-0 mark is more of a case of going against poor competition. Notice that of those 3 teams only 1 made the playoffs and they got embarrassed in the first round. I'd say that Washington is better than those 3 teams.

First of all, the Bears and Seahawks are the 2 best teams in the league, so thats a huge gap there. I don't know why you act as if thats nothing.Secondly, Washington lost tough games like @KC, @Denver, @NYG, etc. Seattle never had to play tough games like that. If they had, they sure wouldn't be 13-3.

I think Redskins fans should jump to Carolina now because it's gonna be a long week next week with your team out. Since your a Ravens fan also this should be an easy move. Let's see another ten posts about SOS please.

When the Indy starters left the game, they were losing 14-3.The Seahawks have the BEST HOME RECORD IN THE NFL in the past 25 home games and you are discounting it because they didn't win by a lot. No game in the NFL is a gimme game and the Hawks have gone 8-0 at home 2 out of 3 seasons.

Qwest Field was also home to the most false starts by opponents.

If thats not HFA, then I don't know what is.

Your excuses are getting quite lame.

Really? Tell me which of my "arguments" you disagree with:1. After week 2 of the season I predicted that the Redskins would finish 10-6 and would be a wild card.

2. After week 14 when they were the #8 seed, I predicted that they would still make the playoffs. I went through every single game and showed why I thought it would happen and which teams ahead of them would lose.

3. I predicted they would beat Tampa Bay.

4. I predicted they would lose to Seattle, as I've said many times in my thread, but I think it'll be very close and I could easily see them upsetting them.

I would love to see your posts on the Redskins this year, and I'm very interested how on earth you can critisize my arguments when I've been pretty much flawless this whole year including PICKING THEIR EXACT RECORD AFTER WEEK 2.

FWIW I think that the Redskins are Seattle are completely even teams- if anything I think that Washington is better. I think that Seattle only has a better record due to their easy schedule. However, I think that due to Washington playing 3 straight road games, Washington getting burned out after being in 6 straight must win games, Seattle being extremely well rested, and HFA, Seattle will win, but as I said, I don't think it'll be a blowout, and I think Washington could win. I think Seattle has a 60% chance of winning and Washington has a 40% chance of winning.

Thanks for calling me out for no reason whatsoever. I'll be eagerly awaiting you to show me your predictions for the Redskins this year and how right you've been.

You picked them as #22 or something after week one. And the Saints 7th! If you need a shovel to dig that hole let me know. I could pick my team to win every week too. Only difference is I would have actually been right.

What excuses am I making? I think Seattle will win. I have said this at least 15 times(not exaggerating at all). But I refuse to sit back and listen to faulty logic. I refuse to sit back and listen to people say that Seattle will blow out Washington because of HFA. Seattle hasn't blown out a good team all year long. Washington has btw. And LOL at thinking that Indy starters were trying at all. They knew they were getting pulled soon and they jsut wanted to stay fresh and get a few reps in. But you know they weren't diving all over the place risking injury.

LOL...They beat the Bears in the first game of the season with Orton's first game, and they squeaked out a win against Seattle with Josh Brown missing a FG.

Quit the SOS argument already. The Seahawks have done nothing but beat the opponents they have been scheduled against, what more can you ask of them? The Hawks didn't pick their schedule.

No, I did not pick them #22. I did POWER RANKINGS, which are not a prognostication but show how I feel each team is playing at the moment. After a 9-7 win over the Bears(who I thought were bad at the time), I didn't think they played that well so I ranked them lowly.You could pick your own team to win every game? Huh? Now you're not even making sense! I picked the Redskins to be 10-6. Thats SIX losses that I predicted. I also predicted them to lose this coming week to Seattle! That makes 7 times I've picked against them. How am I picking them to win every week???? :confused:

Look I've been wrong about a lot of things. If you really want to pick on me, pick on me for thinking that the Ravens would make the playoffs this year. But you just look foolish attacking me on the one subject that I've probably prognoticated better than any single member here at FBGs.

I'm going to look for the 15 times you said Seattle will win. You have so many posts it's very difficult to follow. You say so much about so many things, it's pretty hard to be wrong. You're hedging your bet.

You are belittling the advantage of HFA at Qwest Field saying its not so much playing at home, but rather playing weak opponents. I don't care how many weak teams they play, going 22-3 in the past 25 games at home is spectacular under any circumstance in the NFL and is definately prrof that Qwest Field offers a large advantage for the Hawks.You will take note of this on Saturdy as the 12th Man will be deafening and probably the loudest it has ever been since 1984 in the Kingdome.

Quit the SOS argument already. The Seahawks have done nothing but beat the opponents they have been scheduled against, what more can you ask of them?
I simply don't understand why you hate the Skins so much. Those 2 arguments are ridiculous and I'll show you why right here:-The Bears starting QB got injured in preseason. They had time to get their backup ready. The Redskins starting QB got injured in that very game! They had to adjust on the fly.

-Yes, Seattle missed a 47 yard FG, but when is a 47 yard FG a gimme? If you recall, Washington missed a 39 yard FG that same game!

Yes, Seattle has beaten the opponents they've gone up against. OK, fine. I'm not saying that they don't deserve to be where they are at. But if want to objectively say who the better team is, then you have to look at SOS. And its very very close: Seattle has a 13-3 record against a very easy schedule, Washington has a 10-6 record against the 2nd hardest schedule in the league, Washington beat Seattle heads up. IMHO those 3 facts mean that the 2 teams are very close in terms of how good they are. I don't know how you can look at those 3 facts and conclude that Seattle is definitively better. :shrug:

I'm not picking on you. Chill. I backed you last weekend when you were going at it with Bucs fans so I do think you have some very good points. You just have a lot of points. And the SOS stuff is tiring. We posted additional schedule strength breakdowns and power polls but you didn't even consider them. That's ok. Game is decided on the field anyway.

When the Indy starters left the game, they were losing 14-3.The Seahawks have the BEST HOME RECORD IN THE NFL in the past 25 home games and you are discounting it because they didn't win by a lot. No game in the NFL is a gimme game and the Hawks have gone 8-0 at home 2 out of 3 seasons.

Qwest Field was also home to the most false starts by opponents.

If thats not HFA, then I don't know what is.

Your excuses are getting quite lame.
What excuses am I making? I think Seattle will win. I have said this at least 15 times(not exaggerating at all). But I refuse to sit back and listen to faulty logic. I refuse to sit back and listen to people say that Seattle will blow out Washington because of HFA. Seattle hasn't blown out a good team all year long. Washington has btw. And LOL at thinking that Indy starters were trying at all. They knew they were getting pulled soon and they jsut wanted to stay fresh and get a few reps in. But you know they weren't diving all over the place risking injury.
I'm going to look for the 15 times you said Seattle will win. You have so many posts it's very difficult to follow. You say so much about so many things, it's pretty hard to be wrong. You're hedging your bet.
I'm hedging my bet? When have I that I think Washington will win this game? You're making up lies.
 
Seahawks at QWEST FIELD

Noise was a factor in forcing Qwest Field visitors into an NFL-high 24 false-start penalties during the regular season. The New York Giants committed 11 of them in a single game, and now their NFC East rivals are coming for a divisional-round playoff game.
The Seahawks have won a league-best 22 of their past 25 regular-season home games.
The last time the Skins played there they won. Here is how Seattle has done at home against +.500 teams this year:Atlanta W 21-18

Dallas W 13-10

NY Giants W 24-21

3 wins by 3 points each. Note: I didn't include the Indy game because it was meaningless and Indy rested their starters after less than one quarter of play.

You are belittling the advantage of HFA at Qwest Field saying its not so much playing at home, but rather playing weak opponents. I don't care how many weak teams they play, going 22-3 in the past 25 games at home is spectacular under any circumstance in the NFL and is definately prrof that Qwest Field offers a large advantage for the Hawks.You will take note of this on Saturdy as the 12th Man will be deafening and probably the loudest it has ever been since 1984 in the Kingdome.
I agree that HFA is an advantage...I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing that Seattle often blows teams out at home. I am disputing those people in this thread who are saying that Seattle will blow Washington out or that theres little chance Washington can win. Seattle wins close games at home against good teams...thats great. I'm not belittling them for winning close; I'm simply saying that if they win, they'll most likely continue to win close games.
 
Yes, Seattle has beaten the opponents they've gone up against. OK, fine. I'm not saying that they don't deserve to be where they are at. But if want to objectively say who the better team is, then you have to look at SOS. And its very very close: Seattle has a 13-3 record against a very easy schedule, Washington has a 10-6 record against the 2nd hardest schedule in the league, Washington beat Seattle heads up. IMHO those 3 facts mean that the 2 teams are very close in terms of how good they are. I don't know how you can look at those 3 facts and conclude that Seattle is definitively better. :shrug:
Ummm, probably cause I am not just looking at only those items when concluding who the better team is.SOS and head to head 14 games ago are not the only items I look at to determine who has a better team....maybe you should do the same.

Hey Tird,  How many threads you gonna post this in?  You started your own which is very in-depth with all your three dollar inputs and I see it everywhere else as well. I think you should post this in every single thread on the site.  You and jwswdfghtw should become the same user because you have the same empty arguments. Or are you the same poster?  Huh.
Really? Tell me which of my "arguments" you disagree with:1. After week 2 of the season I predicted that the Redskins would finish 10-6 and would be a wild card.

2. After week 14 when they were the #8 seed, I predicted that they would still make the playoffs. I went through every single game and showed why I thought it would happen and which teams ahead of them would lose.

3. I predicted they would beat Tampa Bay.

4. I predicted they would lose to Seattle, as I've said many times in my thread, but I think it'll be very close and I could easily see them upsetting them.

I would love to see your posts on the Redskins this year, and I'm very interested how on earth you can critisize my arguments when I've been pretty much flawless this whole year including PICKING THEIR EXACT RECORD AFTER WEEK 2.

FWIW I think that the Redskins are Seattle are completely even teams- if anything I think that Washington is better. I think that Seattle only has a better record due to their easy schedule. However, I think that due to Washington playing 3 straight road games, Washington getting burned out after being in 6 straight must win games, Seattle being extremely well rested, and HFA, Seattle will win, but as I said, I don't think it'll be a blowout, and I think Washington could win. I think Seattle has a 60% chance of winning and Washington has a 40% chance of winning.

Thanks for calling me out for no reason whatsoever. I'll be eagerly awaiting you to show me your predictions for the Redskins this year and how right you've been.
You picked them as #22 or something after week one. And the Saints 7th! If you need a shovel to dig that hole let me know. I could pick my team to win every week too. Only difference is I would have actually been right.
No, I did not pick them #22. I did POWER RANKINGS, which are not a prognostication but show how I feel each team is playing at the moment. After a 9-7 win over the Bears(who I thought were bad at the time), I didn't think they played that well so I ranked them lowly.You could pick your own team to win every game? Huh? Now you're not even making sense! I picked the Redskins to be 10-6. Thats SIX losses that I predicted. I also predicted them to lose this coming week to Seattle! That makes 7 times I've picked against them. How am I picking them to win every week???? :confused:

Look I've been wrong about a lot of things. If you really want to pick on me, pick on me for thinking that the Ravens would make the playoffs this year. But you just look foolish attacking me on the one subject that I've probably prognoticated better than any single member here at FBGs.
I'm not picking on you. Chill. I backed you last weekend when you were going at it with Bucs fans so I do think you have some very good points. You just have a lot of points. And the SOS stuff is tiring. We posted additional schedule strength breakdowns and power polls but you didn't even consider them. That's ok. Game is decided on the field anyway.
You're not picking on me?You called me out for no reason at all, and you compared me to some guy who is going around posting the exact same paragraph in every single thread and is insulting various posters.

I'm sorry if the SOS point is tiring, but its also tiring to hear people say that Seattle is a better team because of their record(while totally ignoring SOS).

Yes, it will be decided on the field. And if Seattle blows Washington out, then I'll totally admit that I was wrong.

Chill dude. You have some good points and some good stats to back you up. Plus easy on the lies stuff. People use topics of discussions to develop an opinion over time. My point is valid, you have a lot of posts and say a lot. Most of it is pretty decent. :thumbup:

Please tell me what you do look at then. And no matter what you say, you're not going to get away from SOS though. For example, if you say "I think Seattle is better because they were good at this stat." Well then I'm going to respond by saying that they were only good at that stat because of weak SOS.
 
I don't think many people are thinking it will be a blow out, but the title of the thread is "who is going to win?".IMO...thats Seattle.Not sure why we are arguing if you think Seattle will win as well.

IMO...thats Seattle.

Not sure why we are arguing if you think Seattle will win as well.
FWIW, here are the statements that I was reacting to:
If Seattle gets any sort of momemtum early, this game will be over.
Seahawks by 3 TDs.
Oh, and they will lose by 7 though the game won't really be that close.
but I think out of the 4 playoff games this week....this game will have the largest point gap. The Seahawks are going to win by a big margin. Take the Hawks and give the points. Book it!
I think Seattle gets a late score to cover the spread.
Now go and count how many posts in this thread have said that Washington will win or it will be a close game....not many at all. That is what I reacted to.

Howabout is I say....-they have a better OL

-they have a better QB

-they have a better running game

-they have HFA and the Skins have to take a cross country flight which takes away time to prepare

-they have a better offense

-they have a defense that will be able to keep the Skins offense from scoring many points

-they have a stud CB in Trufant that will be matched up against S. Moss all day

-they have a week of rest and practically all their starters playing

-they are playing a banged up Redskins team

Is that enough?

-Agree on the OL-When both are healthy, not sure I agree on the QB. I'd say even. Washington has a better backup QB imho.

-LOL at "running game." Thats just repeating your first statement again and counting it as two statements. Washington has a better RB imho, although I think its very close, so I'll call it even. But then I think Washington has a better backup QB.

-Oh I agree totally about that. Thats why I'm picking them to win. But thats not an issue- we're not discussing who will win, as we already agree on that. We are discussing who the better team is.

-Over the course of the season, they definitely have the better offense. Over the course of the past month and a half, its been close.

-The Redskins have a better defense. Lets be fair and not just ignore points that don't favor Seattle.

-Define "stud" CB

-and the last two points also don't address who the better team is. They address who will win, and as I said, we already agree on that.
