I'll ask you this: Let's say he 15-yarder was called. Would it have made a material difference to the outcome of the game? And the call last week: Would that have made a material difference to that game?

Dallas was beaten by a more talented Detroit team last week but, because of the league's internal motivations, needed Dallas to win to gin up ratings (=$$$).

Yo, Bender, how 'bout them Seahawks?

If Jerry's team is lucky enough to get by the Pack, be scared, be very scared.

The Ravens definitely had a real chance of winning that one.

I think so too. Ahead all the way until the last five minutes. That's tough, but it's that edge that made the difference.

I feel like I have the last three years about Seattle. I don’t know who can stop them.

I'll predict the upset in something like a game that will finish like close 10-7, or 14-10.

When the AZ Cardinals have their starting QB, the Cards and the Panthers are about equal — very good teams. Seattle, however, is an elite team, and today it showed.

Well you definitely got the first two correct. Well done.

Hope you missed the next one. I’m a Cowboy fan...

Yeah, they looked pretty good against a QB who has history of choking. Too bad Carolina didn't play your team like they played the Saints.

BTW...Here's a list for you..... Six QB's remain Wilson, Romo, Brady, Rogers, Luck, Manning.

Guess where your QB ranks in that group..... (snicker) And believe me, at this point in the season, "ELITE" QB's matter.

I had to look up the QBR’s from last year between Manning (115.1) and Wilson (101.2).

Here in Seattle we don’t worry too much about the QBR. Although the radio did say his QBR for this game put Wilson at the fifth highest ever for a playoff game (149.2).

"Here in Seattle we don’t worry too much about the QBR. Although the radio did say his QBR for this game put Wilson at the fifth highest ever for a playoff game (149.2)."

You're correct - we don't worry too much about QBR here. Russell was 100% on third downs and his rating for the game was 149.2 (I heard perfect is 158)

"But Wilson was outstanding, especially on third down. All three of his touchdown throws came on third-and-long situations. Baldwin beat safety Tre Boston on a double move on third-and-9 on his TD catch in the first quarter.

Kearse's TD reception came on a third-and-7. And Willson's catch-and-run TD was on third-and-10.

Wilson finished with a passer rating of 149.2, the second-highest for any game in his career. He was 8 of 8 for 199 yards passing on third downs."

http://news.yahoo.com/seattle-takes-7-0-lead-over-carolina-1st-020842493--spt.html

"Wilson was nearly flawless in one of the best playoff performances of his young career. He took shots downfield and was perfect on third downs.

Wilson threw a 16-yard touchdown to Doug Baldwin in the first quarter, found Jermaine Kearse for a 63-yard TD in the second quarter and capped his night with a 25-yard strike to Luke Willson with 10:26 remaining that gave Seattle a 24-10 lead."

BUF hires Rexy. Great call! Because BUF’s defense was the one that struggled. Good thing that BUF’s offense was great and they have a qb.

Oh wait...

Hardly the match up they were looking for! With temps in the 20's, Packer Fans will be shirtless and in shorts! Go, Pack! GO!
