Win the division, get a home game. Wild card never gets HF over a division winner. Doesn’t matter what the record is.

I know the rule. I’m questioning it. If you win a piss weak division in 6-10 shouldn’t give you the right to have a HF against a 10-6 third place in a strong division IMO.

Yes it does. Otherwise, there is no point in having divisions

I think being guaranteed to BE in the playoffs should be enough.

One could add a caveat... the home game of a division winner is lost in the event that the division winner does not have a WINNING record.

So a 9-7 winner could host a 11-5 team, but an 8-8 or worse team could not.

That could mitigate some of the complaints about tougher divisions and all that.

I have a bad feeling about this game. I see Goff getting smashed in this game and the Seahawks winning 28-3. we will know how the game is going to go as Goff goes in the 1st 2 series. Go Matt Gay. I picked the rams to win against the jets 40-10 last week. I hope I'm as wrong about this week as I was last week. go rams.

Because it will happen for only the 2nd time in history? Change all the rules?
Nah.. A wild card is lucky to have a playoff spot and should only host a playoff game if they are playing another wild card team.

I'm always surprised at how short our Injury List is compared to our opponent. Literally every week.

Also, for the first time in his NFL career, Wilson hasn't been sacked in back-to-back games.

Let's run that back in case you breezed past it…

Yeah, well....that. is. over.

Memo to Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Josh Reynolds, and Van Jefferson: Gabriel Davis of the Bills is the last receiver to score against the Seahawks.

Seattle played Buffalo the week before they came to Inglewood.

So that's six straight games without surrendering a touchdown to an opposing receiver. You can make the case the Rams are the best passing defense in the NFL, and even they've surrendered three scores to receivers since their last meeting with Seattle.

Seriously!? That's actually quite impressive and has me a bit worried because we already struggle passing the ball in the redzone and Akers is out. Brown might be the point leader this week.

According to these guys, it’s bone on bone Sunday.

just to clarify .. the team that wins the division is still in the playoffs just not seeded as high .. so there is still a point to divisions.
