The Guardians of NFL Propriety are already screaming bloody murder about the possibility that the Seahawks could make the playoffs at 7-9. Unfair! Embarrassing! Disgraceful! Something must be done! They BLEED righteous indignation right now. Here's what I want to know... Where was this righteous indignation, this sense of grievance, this severe umbrage when:
-Fredd Young's interception in OT of the 1987 Wild Card Playoff was waved off by the officials?
-The 1990 Seahawks missed the playoffs, despite beating the two other teams they tied with at 9-7 head-to-head?
-Ken Behring was dead-set on moving our team to L.A. in the mid-90s?
-The 1998 Seahawks missed the playoffs due to Vinny Testaverde's phantom TD?
-The 2003 Seahawks had a win stolen from them in Baltimore when the officials gave the Ravens damn near an extra minute to come back and win the game?
-The 2004 Seahawks had a win stolen on MNF when the officials blew the call on a Keyshawn Johnson TD late in the 4th?
-We got fucked out of any fair chance to win Super Bowl XL?
Wait.. You hadn't even HEARD of most of those sordid chapters from Seattle's franchise history? Then SHUT THE FUCK UP. Us getting into the playoffs this year doesn't even START to balance the cosmic scales in our favor.

Amen to that. While I wouldn't be opposed to changing the playoff rules and structure, people screaming "outrage" at this are moronic.
