Go Broncos...... (that should elicit some responses :P)

It may even be a moot point
Actually, the Seahawks got in because of Dallas's loss yesterday, which put the Wild Card into a three way tie (well, before the Vikings loss, that is).
It was going to be Seattle, Green Bay, and Dallas at 10-6. Dallas had already clinched a spot, but the three way tie meant that they couldn't use head-to-head to settle the tie (a 2-way tie with only GB and Seattle would've gone to GB, since they beat Seattle head-to-head). The next tiebreaker on the list was "strength of victory" which gave Seattle the edge over GB and clinched them the wild card spot.
None of this "strength of victory" stuff would've mattered if GB would've found a way to win one of those 6 games they lost.
As an Eagles fan, I like the Eagles's chances. They will get Dallas or the winner of the GB/Seattle game in Philly in the second week. Win that and they're back at home for the NFCC game. Two wins to the SuperBowl sounds easy, but they've failed in that same task the past two seasons. Difference this year is that there's no "team of destiny" like Tampa Bay was last season.
