COLTS-SEAHAWKS 12/24/05
Indianapolis at Seattle, 1:15 p.m. Pacific (CBS)
Yes, this game is still meaningful. The Seahawks have not clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs yet. They can do just that if they win one of their final two games or if the Bears lose one of their final two games. Scoreboard watching was part of the same old Seahawks regime. This year's team doesn't believe in scoreboard watching. They just get it done on the field, like championship-caliber teams do.
As for the death of Tony Dungy's son James, we send our condolences to the Dungy Family. Of course, America will now hop on the Colts' bandwagon because of this tragic news. It's nothing new to Seattle sports fans. See the 2001 Yankees. See Brett Favre. See Michael Jordan.
The Colts will not be at full strength today. That doesn't mean that a Seahawks win over the Colts today doesn't mean anything. There's no reason why this team can't finish 14-2. No reason whatsoever.
It's time for the 12th Man to rock once again.
GO SEAHAWKS!!!
