Seattle Seahawks Rooting Guide Week Fourteen Post Mortem: Thanks for nothing Buffalo

[@NEWHANDGERNADE]

Damnit Buffalo, now u drop one ?

[@BrothaAbe509]

Exactly also looks like the officiating was leaning for LAR didn’t help smh

[@butterbeantx]

On the positive side it's comforting that the Rams defense isn't holding up so good!

[@MisterMotions]

@@butterbeantxbut their offense was effective against a buffalo defense we severely struggled against

[@willjack5889]

Let’s go 12-5

[@frebur]

Yeah Baby! The more you win the easier it gets!

[@hawkseyeview2843]

Go 49ers?

[@DGJ206]

Bring on the rams man. Not scared of them. For the division u should want that. It will be like a playoff game. Let the best team win it.

[@Mofo1999]

Its not the rams im scared of, its the calls that they're gonna get in that game that im scared of

[@badass1g]

Still my fav hawks channel. 👍

[@aw7250]

The bills really screwed us over ! 😂.

[@Shadowbot074]

Crazy to say that’s not the Detroit way now. They’ve been bad for so long

[@orionllc31]

Excited for these next two games!

[@butterbeantx]

I wouldn't dismiss the Bears too easily; they've been pretty inconsistent but they've shown up and almost beat some really good teams.

[@gravytrain1657]

The scenario we should be most concerned about: we beat the Bears and Rams but lose the tiebreaker with the Rams at 10-7. In that scenario the Rams go 3-1 (loss to us) and we go 2-2 (Bears + Rams win is most likely). That has us splitting with them, even in division record, even in common games, so it comes down to Strength of Victory (the W-L % of just the teams you have beaten). To win on SoV in this scenario, we need the Cards/Broncos/Falcons/Dolphins/Bears to win as many games as possible and the 49ers/Raiders/Saints/Bills/Vikings to lose as many games as possible. Where we sit currently our wins are at a 4 game disadvantage over their wins. If you pick up a Packers or Vikings win instead and lose to the Bears you get a slight lead. The schedule for our wins is slightly favorable so it is possible to gain back enough ground, the biggest problem is the Bears could lose out. Thankfully we secured our tiebreak against the Cards and if the 49ers turn a corner and win out we still can win the Rams game to secure a tiebreak on them (though we do lose the tiebreak with a loss to the Rams). *edit* Also the Buccs have already secured a tiebreak on us, 3 of their losses came out of conference (we only lost 1). If they match our wins they will have a better conference record guaranteed.

If the 49ers win on Thursday I wouldn’t be upset about losing Sunday

[@steel7536]

I think we match up in favor of winning against the packers and we match up bad against the Vikings.

[@aw7250]

Agreed!

[@rightangle4]

Why? I think both Sam darnold and Jordan love are gonna get shaken up by our D. Our offense just has to keep getting better and we’ll win both games. I’m more concerned about the rams than I am the Vikings.

[@Nabbers]

Buffalo losing really hurts. However, if the niners win on Thursday then we would clinch the tiebreaker vs the Rams with a win in week 18 which is huge. I think even 3 and 4 team tiebreakers for the division would pretty much automatically go in our favor at 4-2 in the division.

[@Iron_Hawk_12]

If we can split the next two weeks at the least and take care of the Bears, we can really fight LAR for the Division (if they manage to stay right behind us)

[@calebyost9228]

Brandon, careful what you wish for. If the 9ers win out its likely we'd see the best of them and if they make it into a wildcard i would NOT want to play then in that situation.

[@badass1g]

Niners please help us out tomorrow and beat down the rams 💪

[@frebur]

What did Josh Allen do to deserve Sean Mcdermott?!

[@justinharmon8548]

There's not a world where the packers slip up and miss anything

[@Fhreze]

bills rams game made me a bills hater
