Seahawks Football

If the Seahawks win at Arizona this week, and the 49ers lose at home to the Green Bay Packers, the Hawks will clinch a berth in the 2006 NFL Playoffs. This despite losing both NFL MVP Shaun Alexander and Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck for over a month.

Each of the previous five Super Bowl runners-up have failed to make the playoffs the following year.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, champions of last year's Super Bowl, are 5-7. If Baltimore wins this week at Kansas City, Pittsburgh will be essentially eliminated from playoff contention, as five teams are ahead of them in the wild card chase.

Let's ask again: Who won the Super Bowl?

Holding penalties that reversed a touchdown and stopped a drive, the phantom 15-yard call against Matt Hasselbeck on the INT return, 70 yards in penalties in full, and all this against what had been the league's least penalized team.

Screw you, refs.
