Teams that go to the Super Bowl don't do this. The really good teams, like the Patriots, the Eagles and the Colts, get a team down and kill them. The Seahawks had that chance, up by 17 with 5 minutes to play.
But they didn't. The defense slackened, the offense tightened, and once the Rams got within a field goal, it was never in doubt. The Seahawks might still win the NFC West and go to the playoffs. Hell, they might give New England a game next week. But they aren't a Super Bowl team.
Far from it.
