Like Herm Edwards said "You play to win the game". To be honest I would have rather we lost last night, it's highly likely we are one and done against the Saints.
The Rams play calling was bizarre to say the least, Seattle's D has given up more big plays than anybody else this season. All the Rams wanted to do was throw swing passes and 5 yard slants.
This will lead to the NFL changing the rules with regards qualifying for the play offs.

I really hope they don't. It'd ruin the concept of divisions if it was just the best 6 records made it in.
One idea which i read (i can't remember where, i think it was on a different forum) was that your record just alterred your seeding rather than the actual qualification for the play-offs which i think is OK if they are going to alter the system.
So the division winners and two others with the highest record (Wildcard) are in the play-offs but then your seed is soley based on your record.
This causes problems though where a division winner has a worse record than a wildcard, like this year. It's unfair for a division winner to have to play a road game against a wildcard winner.

I think thats what they will do. No one is saying division winners with crap records should not be in the playoffs just that the 4 division winners and 2 wildcard should be seeded by records, for instance the Seahawks wouldn`t be a higher seed than the Saints because the Saints record is far superior.
There`s a lot of arguments for and against but I reckon they will change the rules

| They shouldn't change anything. FFS, it's happened once in the history of the NFL. You win your division, you should get a home game. If they really want to change the seeding then they should factor in strength of schedule. Why should a team jump above another one with a better record just because they have a better record when they've played a cupcake schedule? I know that both us and Seattle have had a fairly easy schedule this season anyway but All this stuff about changing things is yet another knee jerk reaction to something that might not even happen again for years anyway.

I reckon John Gruden`s best mate Mike Holmgren will be on the phone if he hasn`t already

They should have given him one more season IMO. They kind of faltered towards the end of the year but they're putting together a decent offense. With a decent draft they could be a decent team next season.
Still, not as bad as Tom Cable being fired which is ridiculous.

He`s had 2 years and has done naff all , at least in Oaklands case they look like they are improving whereas the Browns are not again IMO
The Browns seem to be the same every year so getting a Superbowl winning coach like Gruden or even Holmgren himself can only help

As i have a interest in the Seahawks it would be difficult to disagree with your statement...But the fans are something else
They got behind their team when it mattered, poor team maybe but the fans are brilliant...no glory hunters there
