that's how I see it. Wasn't meant to be a playoff season.

Not to promote a loser's mentality, but to me, the experience gained from playing in this playoff game will be almost as important as the outcome.

That said, the key to me is not getting down early and keeping the score close.

When we get leads we inevitably let the other team crawl back to keep it tight in the 4th.

When Seattle gets leads, they step on their opponents' necks.
