Oakland and Seattle could have a month and it will not matter.

Yes. It all goes to show that people who were whining about the Pats "easy" schedule are idiots who don't know how to properly analyze it.

If you mean crappy, you are right. Since Hasselbeck he has had a 170 yard, 1 TD, and 3 INT day vs. the Cards; 103 yards, 2 TD, and 2 INT day vs. the Redskins; and 287 yard, 0 TD, and 1 INT game vs. the Cowboys. Seattle may have the worst passing attack the Pats will face the rest of the way.

The Seahawks this year are a mess. They have no offense and no defense. If the Pats lose to them, they have no business in the post season.

Agreed. Especially since they're the first of the back to backs. Looking at San Diego overall this year, we probably should have beaten them earlier, but I think we were a bit fatigued from being on the road for two straight weeks.

Not saying that'll happen with Oakland, but if you told me we were going to lose one of these games I'd pick that one over the Seahawks.
