I think that the fact that Carolina was ahead 24-3 at halftime had something to do with Arians throwing in the towel early.

In addition to being down 30-6 themselves, it had *everything* to do with it, methinks.
The point is they clearly had something important to play for**, and it was the circumstances, not some pre-game decision, that led to pulling Palmer.
Again, though, they *did* appear uncharacteristically flat, but I think that's more because we were playing at light speed.
**It's worth noting that we didn't have anything on the line, either, except washing the taste of the Rams game out of our mouths.

I love you Obi LOL you're chicken little.
Maybe they will be tougher, but I think not. Palmer has been as much lucky as good in every win vs Seattle.The only game Russ ever lost in their building was his first NFL start and even then he was on their 10 with 4 tries into the end zone to beat them. A couple were bad throws and a couple were dropped. 13 we pounded them with Palmer. He somehow won in Seattle with one great scramble and throw to beat Maxi but we picked him FOUR times. I was at the game in Seattle this Nov. The Hawks had 9 flags by halftime, mostly bullshart. Russ was off. Lynch was stymied. Down 19-0 the hawks stormed back to take the lead. Palmer folded under pressure turning the ball over several times. In the end it was a running back beating Frank Clark that salted it away. I think the Hawks were more Po'd about that loss than any and it showed in their near perfection in the first half last Sunday.
If Seattle does the work of getting back there which will be winning in 0 degree temperatures and then knocking off the 1 seed I think they will waste the opportunity vs AZ like NOT!!!!!!!!!.
I'm not sure AZ would score. After 2 rugged weather games the Hawks would be inside in the climate control in a place they've been an emphatic 3-0 the last 3 seasons.
I'm way more worried about the next 2.

That's why the regular season matters, is so you can get home field and get a weeks rest. How may WC teams have won the SB? 6 out of 38 since the WC was put in. I think we have a great chance to win 2 of those, but you are going to EST zone for 2 of them, and what is our record doing that?
With out examining doubt there is no true faith. I am in a lose lose here, If we lose do I have to the right to say to Human I told you so I told you so nanner nanner nanner? No, he would just say the clock is right twice a day.
BTW, C-bob, Our future is bright! we have a great secondary, QB, owner, coach, and GM. IF we can reload through the draft, to limit the poaching that is going to happen, then we will be fine for at least 5-6 years. In that time If we don't win at least 2 SB's, even Dr. Doom here will be shocked. We are all along ways away from the days where you and I fought over Draft choices that even if I would have gotten my way, we would have still lost.
