The 2010 NFC Playoffs:
Week One:
10-6 Dallas at 10-6 Seattle
9-7 Green Bay at 10-6 Carolina
We finished with the top wild card spot. Had we been more consistent down the stretch against the 4 win Jaguars and the 7 win Texans, we would be 12-4 and might have won the division and a bye(Washington was also 12-4). The Vikings won the NFC top seed with a 14-2 season.
We lose to Seattle 18-34. Jerry Reeves caught a pair of TDs. Jack Yoo tossed up three picks. Ah well. It was a good season even without any playoff magic:
The rest of the NFC Playoffs go like this:
Carolina crushes Washington 31-3 in Washington
Seattle is crushed by the Vikings 3-28
Minnesota edges Carolina in the NFC Championship 23-20.
The Vikings score 40 on the Ravens in the Super Bowl to win the title.
Had we defeated Seattle, note that we would have played the juggernaut Vikings and been spanked, so there is that consolation.
