Seattle has clinched the playoff birth.
I want to see a good game, Good O, good D and good ST, cut the penalites and close the game.
And since everything can happen. We might see than, if we have clinched it or have to fight for the win against the Rams to finish in a playoff spot. But overall 9-7 was what many thought we could achieve, there was more to have (Panther, Lions, NE) but we have a young team and a very young QB and a Newbie HC overall some growing pains were to happen.
But now finish out strong and the playoffs, are a totally different animal. I remember being one of the best teams in regular season and being awfull in the playoffs...
