The Seahawks need to capitalize on their clear homefield advantage. They lost three games to medicore teams by 11 points, by 4 to Detroit, 4 to Arizona and 3 to Miami. If they would have won any of those, the Hawks would have won the division, had a bye and homefield advantage. They lost the playoffs in the regular season.

The long distance wildcard thing never works, just too far to the east coast. Make them come here, make them spend hours on an airplane, make them deal with the 12th Man and its Super Bowl!.
