First Look: Atlanta Falcons Are No Joke

Getting to face the Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs is like getting a bye week, right? All they do is lose. Russell Wilson has more playoff wins than Matt Ryan. Seattle is the hottest team in the NFL, so this should be a cake walk. It is possible for the...

The Case For A Redskins Victory

There is no such thing as a sure bet in the NFL, especially in the playoffs, especially on the road. Seattle may have a comparable offense to Washington, a better defense, and better special teams, but the only thing that will matter come Sunday is which team plays better on...

There is something about the Redskins and Seahawks that seems to cause a sort of playoff magnetism. Maybe it is that they represent Washington from different coasts.
