Beast Mode

Last weekend:

Seattle (11-4) moved into a tie with Arizona (11-4) for first in the NFC West and holds the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the Cardinals.

A Seattle win at home over St. Louis in next weekend's regular-season finale would clinch the NFC's No. 1 seed in the NFC. That would have the Seahawks at home throughout the playoffs, until they'd come back to this same Arizona stadium for the Super Bowl.

It is my first season watching Seahawks, and I have no very clear what the paragraphs above mean except that we are doing well. Spike - who support the Chicago Bears - tried to explain it to me at the pub quiz last night but I gave up even trying to understand the playoffs when he told me there were four semi finals.

There's more than a hint of the Old Ruts' Sid about Marshawn Lynch's 79 yard touch down above don't you think? Lynch is the original Beast Mode it seems, with his own clothing line www.beastmodeonline.com which is why Adebayo Akinfenwa's (Icons passim) has to be distinguished as Beast Mode On. So now you know.
