What Have We Learned This Week?
There is a reason why they play the game. How many times does that phrase get brought out after a game like the Seahawks/Saints game? But it’s deserved after a week of the national media treating the Seahawks like an eight-seed in a six-team tournament. When NFL segments got into picks throughout the week, the hosts and analysts would just breeze through this matchup that really was not worth discussion to get on to other “real” contests.
I mean, it’s not like we should take into consideration that a good quarterback might have a stellar performance at least one more time in his career. We could discount the fact that the stronger defense might leave holes in coverage that the above quarterback could pick apart. That strong defense of the defending world champions just might not bring it for 60 minutes and at the end allow one of the most impressive runs in NFL playoff history because eight players missed tackles.
No, this one did not play out “like it should have” on paper. But the Seahawks did win that game. It might mean a thing in Sunday’s matchup in Chicago, but for now at least, a team that still has a losing record is alive and well in the NFL playoffs.
