		<description><![CDATA[Warning to all Seahawks fans. Redskins have the no.1 rushing offense. Get ready for a ride on the A train. Its a long ride so buckle up. The Garcon express is also open for business aparantly Sherman has a ticket. 

Dont forget about RG3 you know the guy Wilson tries to be. Also remind your corners to not forget their steroids before the game.

		<description><![CDATA[I think the Falcons are ranked a little low considering they have secured the top spot in the NFC. Beating them in the Georgia Dome will not be easy.

Vikes are a bit too high and the Texans a little too low. The Texans are more likely to be playing in the Divisional round of the playoffs than the Vikings will be. 

Bengals ahead of Texans? Texans will beat the Bengals at home in the playoffs.  

After the top 12, I find the rankings spot on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#039;t we seen enough evidence that these rankings have been pretty worthless this year with all of the movement from like spots 1-5  week to week? All you have to do is look at how high the Steelers, Jets and Eagles were ranked at certain times. Now, they are not even in the playoffs. The No. 1 ranking has meant nothing at all this year. Ranking teams in the NFL is a lame attempt to copy what the AP Top 25 does. Apples and oranges. In college you know what you are getting with annual juggernauts like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Georgia etc.

The NFL is a weekly crapshoot, and thus not a good match for &quot;rankings&quot; that have no value in the end.]]></description>

They beat 2 teams with a winning record…
Seattle beat 6 winning teams…
I know math is a struggle for a lot of people in DC…
But that’s pretty telling…
Go Hawks!
_________

May want to check you math.  The Redskins beat Minnesota, NY Giants and Baltimore this season.  That would be three winning teams.  Seattle beat New England, Minnesota, Chicago, and San Francisco.  That would be four.  I&#039;m not counting Green Bay because Seattle didn&#039;t &quot;beat&quot; anyone in that same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Disagree that #1 NFC is behind #1 &amp; #2 AFC.  I would put NFC at #2 &amp; #3 behind Denver with NE at #4 as they lost to NFC West teams.......

Agree that Seahawks need to see if there is interest in Flynn in the off season as the draft will not have many QB starters.  Only trade for good value though.....with a good backup QB plan in place.  Flynn is a starter that deserves a shot somewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Hawks fans think they are going to come into FedEx and blow out the Skins&quot;

I dont think Hawks fans think this will happen.  Most Seattle fans realize this is going to be a tough tough game.  Washington, like Seattle, is entering into their &quot;Golden Era&quot; - and they are both nearly the exact same team.

This game will be very close.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NFC East = NFC Least.
Weak division produces weak winner. See you on Sunday, better hope your spindly legged QB can hold up. The last two running QB’s got handled by our D.
==================

Uh, you do realize what division last years Super Bowl Champions came from, right?

I&#039;m looking forward to the Skins v. Hawks game this weekend. Should be a great game. I do find it funny how Hawks fans think they are going to come into FedEx and blow out the Skins. That will not happen. 

I imagine a very close competetive game. Not saying the Skins will win. It&#039;s pretty much a pick &#039;em game. But, if there is a blowout, I guarantee that it won&#039;t be the Skins getting blown out. I&#039;m expecting a close, old school style of game. Lot&#039;s of Lynch, Morris and Defense. Should be fun.]]></description>

RG III is better than all of the above except for the 1st 2.. And the Skins have the #1 rush offense in the NFL and most yrd per play in the NFL.. Seattle D is inflated by the inferior QB play.. Remember Grossman picked that same D apart last yr.. Amazing what Adderol can do for a team]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JackAcid:

SF barely beat Seattle at their home - before Wilson started playing exeptional.  Seattle blasted SF, I mean laid them out.  Even the TD SF had was based on a 4th and goal from the 20yrd line or something like that when Seattle had 2nd and 3rd string D-Backs in the game.

SF got lucky Seattle wasn&#039;t playing like this in the 1st half of the season or it would be SF in the wild card spot.

That said, Washington will be a tough game for Seattle - I think tougher than most teams would be.  It will be a great game.]]></description>

<p>SF barely beat Seattle at their home &#8211; before Wilson started playing exeptional.  Seattle blasted SF, I mean laid them out.  Even the TD SF had was based on a 4th and goal from the 20yrd line or something like that when Seattle had 2nd and 3rd string D-Backs in the game.</p>
<p>SF got lucky Seattle wasn&#8217;t playing like this in the 1st half of the season or it would be SF in the wild card spot.</p>
<p>That said, Washington will be a tough game for Seattle &#8211; I think tougher than most teams would be.  It will be a great game.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Seahawks fans- are we forgetting your regular season 3-5 road record? Losses to Detroit, SF, Arizona, Miami and St Louis? 4 of 5 road loses to teams with losing records? And the game AT HOME against StL this past week that the Rams almost eeked out? But you&#039;re going to head cross country to DC and somehow blow the skins away? And this is coming from a Ravens fan- I loathe the Skins. But I don&#039;t see them getting destroyed at home. First home playoff game for them in eons. That place will be rocking and if it&#039;s anything like the noise for Nats or Caps playoff games, it won&#039;t exactly be a pressure free environment for the Hawks. 3 pt game could go either way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[23. Browns:  To keep the next coach/G.M. for at least five years.
-----

But with that, that the next coach/G.M. they pick is clearly worth keeping every year for at least five years.   

Heckert and Shurmur had their moments, and in a city starved for a winner, Heckert was better than we&#039;d seen in awhile.  But despite the seeming improvements, the Browns just finished 5-11 /4-12 for the fifth year in a row.   I know they came in here and found the cupboard bare, and they&#039;re leaving with the cupboard better stocked, but it isn&#039;t like the Browns made (or just barely missed) the playoffs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RE Bengals needing a DE - Ever heard of Michael Johnson? I&#039;d say he is putting up huge sack numbers and Dunlap &amp; Gilberry are doing well also.
Not sure why you would think that the team leading the NFL in sacks resolution should be a DE. I would say that is their strong point.
Makes me wonder...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Redskins will be one and out. Not their fault, but the teams they are facing will not fear the read option. And RGIII still will not be 100%. I give this read option 2 years of success (counting this one) and then everybody will figure out how to stop it. Then what? RGIII is awesome and love to watch him, but he will have more failure than success due to the system and the coaches. My eagles will stink for years to come...]]></description>
