When you need 15 points you need one one point and one two point conversion. If you go for two on the first TD and miss, it is mathematically impossible to get the three pts needed, and kills your comeback. If you go for 1 on the first TD, you still have a chance to go for 2 on the second TD and keep your chances alive. The rule is, when you need a combo of two pt and one pt conversions, you always go for the one pointers first.

Kind of hard to be a crybaby when I don’t care for either team, but whatever. Just trying to be an objective observer.

Second most epic choke in the playoffs. Vikings PK just missed a 27 yard gimme to lose the game 10-9 to the Seahawks. Nerves got him, nothing else. Seattle defense had nothing to do with the miss.

Lol. That was pretty bad. Cold walk back to the car for the fans, that’s for sure.

I was thinking that also. And I do have some compassion for the good fans of the Bengals who have waited for years to celebrate a victory.

I hate liberals, and I hate ‘prevent defense!

I've never seen THAT either.

Neither team did much offensively, but to miss a chip shot game-winner FG is flippin' disgraceful.

And I'm a Seahawks fan.

Interesting that ALL four games were won by the visiting team.

Next week should be fun to watch.

The Steelers are good, but I don't think they can advance with a hurt QB.

The Panthers are now facing a MUCH better Seahawks team than they played earlier in the year.

The Packers look great.

No idea how they will do against Arizona, but the way the Hawks took them apart last week, I'd not be surprised with an upset.

The Chiefs appear to be unstoppable.

My money is on them for the AFC title.

The NFC title is unclear right now.

“The Panthers are now facing a MUCH better Seahawks team than they played earlier in the year.”

Or the team that lost to the Rams twice this year might show up.

'Or the team that lost to the Rams twice this year might show up.'

Touche, but I must admit that the Rams are a very under-rated team.

They've given the Seahawks all kinds of trouble over the past 4 years.

I used to fear the 49'ers, but they've gone belly-up.

The Rams have always been tough.

Take them out of the NFC West, and they'd have a much different record.
