Without fail. No matter the quality of the competition or the setting of the game. The end goal is that when a big game arrives — like last Februarys Super Bowl, or Sundays NFC West showdown with Arizona — its handled in the same way as any other week.Were not going into this game thinking were unfamiliar with it or its going to be something we dont know how to handle or whats up. We dont feel like that at all, Carroll said Wednesday. That comes from years of experience and being through it and a bunch of young guys now that theyre pretty well experienced at the timing of these kinds of games.That attitude and approach took a while to kick in. Richard Sherman first noticed it when Seattle won at Washington in the 2012 NFC playoffs. Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett — newcomers during Seattles title run in 2013 — started to understand where Carroll was coming from about midway through the regular season.Its all about preparing the same, dont get too high because its a Monday night game or because its a 1 p.m. game or whatever, Avril said. Treat every game the same and youll get probably the same results.Clearly what Carroll has implemented has worked. For the fourth time in Carrolls five seasons with Seattle, the Seahawks are in contention for a division title going into the final weeks of the regular season.But after being in control of home-field advantage and the No. 1 seed for most of last season, this Week 16 showdown with Arizona is significant.A win by the Cardinals gives them the NFC West title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, needing just two wins to play in the Super Bowl on their home field.For the Seahawks, a victory wouldnt guarantee a playoff spot unless they get some help earlier in the day. But it would potentially leave Seattle needing just a home victory over St. Louis in Week 17 to clinch the division title and home-field advantage. Rick Manning Indians Jersey. Two wins would give Seattle the No. 1 seed in the NFC as long as it doesnt finish in a tie at 12-4 with Dallas, in which case the Cowboys would hold the tiebreaker. Seattle would win any two-way tiebreakers with Detroit, Green Bay or Arizona and all three-way tiebreakers go in favour of the Seahawks.Why is that important for Seattle? Over the past three seasons, playoffs included, the Seahawks are 23-2 at home and have outscored opponents by an average of 14 points per game.I think its important that if youre going to play at your best and perform at a very high level you have to be comfortable with the setting, and if youre uncomfortable and unsure it can make a difference and distract you some, Carroll said. We have that going for us. We feel very good about that. We have been in winning situations in December and its been the chance for us to do some really good things and weve come through for a good part of that.While Seattle tries to keep important games on the same level as every other matchup, Arizona coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday he wants his players to embrace the scope of Sundays matchup.You dont get to play for the damn thing very often so its not like Seattles played for it for a hundred damn years. Im sure theyre embracing it also, Arians said. So you fight your (rear) off all year to play for this game and sure you embrace it but you dont change how you prepare for it, its still the same process.NOTES: Seattle C Max Unger (ankle/knee) did not practice Wednesday. Carroll said Unger struggled to recover from his work last week. Hes missed the last four games. ... LT Russell Okung (chest) is still in the mix for Sunday but was scheduled to have additional exams on Thursday to check his recovery from a bruised lung. ... G J.R.
