Seahawks just don't give back to the Packers. The Fail Mary, the Division gift in 2014, and all they had to do was get one more inch to give the Packers the number one seed in the NFC. The delay of game penalty was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Maybe it was on purpose. Now they get to play the Eagles and 49ers instead of the Vikings and Packers.

WADR, when you have to compare your team to the Browns or Bengals to feel good.....well uh oh. And I’d say the Cowboys are not far better than anybody. They are mediocre. But to answer your question, no I’d rather not be a Browns, Bengals, or Bears fan. You’re right about that.

Hey, at least the Bears and Browns have a storied history. Nothing much this century to speak of, but still, history!

No! The dumbest thing that I've ever seen was another Pete Carroll gem... calling a pass play from the 2 yard line in the waning moments of the Super Bowl that Malcolm Butler intercepted and caused millions of people across the globe to stand up and yell "Jesus Christ"!

+1. Still the biggest gift the Patriots ever got. I jumped out of my chair, DW didn’t realize the game was over initially. You take the good (Seahawks & Falcons) with the bad (Giants twice).

A pass to the corner of the end zone, maybe. Completion for the win, incomplete stops the clock. Throwing into the guts of the D was the dumb part...

I can't believe Philly is favored over Seattle this weekend, even though it is a home game. Although I never bet against the Eagles, this would be one I'd want to throw some money down on Seattle with. But, hey, who knows. Fly Eagles, Fly!

The line opened with Eagles giving 1. There must have been a lot of money put down on Seattle as now the Seahawks are giving 1.5.
Eagles will be playoff home underdogs with a revenge factor to boot. Mmmmmm.

The game I expected to be the least interesting of the weekend may end up being the best.

That may have been the most entertaining game all season where I didn't care who won. Or at least the second half.

How Watson got out of the clutches of two rushers, then throw a pass with a long run after to set up the winning FG in OT is beyond me. Watson was amazing in the second half, culminating in that last play before the FG.

He needed to make up the absolutely terrible first half he had... That was awful. He certainly spent enough time on the ground from all the sacks. Some day the Texans need to learn to play both halves and then they may actually get some respect.
Lucky OT win......... Glad to see that JJ made it back this year....

I watched that in slow motion... it seems to me that in evading the first rusher he might have been falling forward, but the hit by the 2nd rusher straightened him back up and help him to spin around out of their clutches. Amazing.
