At the risking of horning in on @Mitch_Seattle's bit, I've attempted a definitive outline of Seattle's playoff possibilities. dannyoneil.substack.com/p/the-increasi…
Really short version: The #Seahawks need multiple teams to lose at least once to have any chance at the playoffs.
Slightly more specific version: The #Packers are an issue for Seattle in addition to needing the #Commies to stumble or the #Giants to collapse.
I've also found really convoluted way for the #Seahawks to get in at 8-9. Let's get nuts! dannyoneil.substack.com/p/the-increasi…

Fan fiction time, folks.
"We need new tackles, we don't have a 1st-round pick and I've got a real hankering for another running back. Now, it's going to take one year and an absolutely cast-iron constitution, but I think we can shore things up and make you the biggest hero in the history of Seattle ...
"But first, you're going to have to be hated so we're going to need you to start talking about 'my legacy' any time anyone asks you what the future holds."

"I don't know," said the quarterback whose finger recently resembled a mallet. "That sounds really off-putting."

*It was at this point that everyone knew the Broncos had (messed) up*
"We got three timeouts, E. I might use one right here."

Some thoughts from a UW alum who made separate trips from Manhattan to the West Coast and attended the past two #Huskies games:
1) If you hear someone referencing the crowd size/enthusiasm as being a part of the problems currently facing UW football, that person is stooging for the athletic department and should be regarded as such.
2) It is very clear that Jimmy Lake won't coach another game for the UW. I don't disagree with that decision, but if the athletic department is seeking to fire him with cause, I want to point out a couple of things.

Tough times for the big-sports scoop economy! First they came for Shams ...
And now it's Schefter's turn ...
None of this is particularly ethical nor is it at all surprising, and at its core, being a high-level reporter who breaks personnel news in these leagues is not actually reporting at all. It is about "relationships" which is a euphemism for asking for and calling in favors.
