This is how lame the Seahawks are

Check this. They need a fricken extension from the NFL to sell out their playoff game, so it isn't a local blackout. This town has no confidence in them, for good reason, so no one wants to spend the cash.

I don't blame them.

its so expensive though. I wouldn't pay that price for any game other than the Super Bowl or a game 7 in any other series. Absurd prices for a 1st round game.

It is also gonna be colder than hell, with a chance of snow. The way this town panics and shuts down when a solitary snowflake is spotted, it doesn't surprise me. I just hope it doesn't snow Friday night and [censored] up my hockey tickets!

Oh, and the Seahawks being totally unpredictable and generally crappy thing holds some water too [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I saw this earlier today and almost crapped my pants... if the Hawks first home playoff game in 20 years isn't on TV cause it can't sell out I'm going to cry.

I'm going to laugh. They should have just had it in st lou anyway. Having it here is just a home game for st lou that we can't watch on tv unless it sells out.

The Hawks had a home playoff game a few years ago, when the great Dan Marino came to town and beat them. (Then, of course, the Dolphins lost the next week to Jacksonville 63-7, but it was nice to see Marino play in person).

What bullshit. Seattle is in the easiest division in the NFL and they can only go 8-8. The Bills beat them handily and yet Seattle is in the playoffs and the Bills are not.

The Bills could beat Seattle, Minnesota, Green Bay, and probably Atlanta as well. Yet all those teams are in the playoffs and the Bills are not.

The wild-cards at least need to be league wide instead of conference wide.

Minnesota lost 7 of their last 10 for christ's sake. And they still got a wildcard.

What bullshit.

Maybe you should tell the Bills about the criteria for getting into the playoffs.

What do you mean?

I know they should have beaten the Steelers. But they still finished 9-7 and are not in, while two teams with 8-8 records in the NFC are. Up till the last week, it was possible that a 7-9 NFC team could get in.

Having a team with a losing record get into the playoffs is just wrong.

It is not the Bills fault that they play in the toughest division in football.

[Jman28]

What I mean is, if you want the Bills in the playoffs, they have to either win their division, or be one of the two teams in their conference that did not win their division but have the next best records (and tiebreakers).

It's as simple as that. It's an entirely objective system that everyone knows about at the beginning of the season. So I really don't think it's unfair.

That's all I was saying. Do you have a proposal for a better system?
