My bad.....sometimes I still live like it was 20 years ago
Still, a Superbowl in the Meadowlands will not be kind to the SeaHawks. The weather dictates your game strategy. It is not the cold or the snow but the wind. With the coin flip you do not decide if you want the ball, you decide when you want the wind.
Teams will call timeout at the end of a quarter so that they will have the wind when they kick. The wind will blow balls into the ground. You will only be able to score in the two quarters you have the wind with you
The SeaHawks will have a chance to play in the Meadowlands in December. They will get a chance to see what conditions are like. But the Superbowl will be interesting as the weather conditions will play a big role
The wind will blow balls into the ground
I just HATE it when the wind blows my balls into the ground.
I have been a Giants fan for 50 years. When the winds kick up in November-January they whip around the stadium and those nice little screen passes end up at the receivers feet. Punts get knocked down to 30-40 yards. Field goals over 35 yards are a chance. It will be a unique SuperBowl, you have two quarters to score in
As much as I have confidense in this season's Seahawks I really don't think that much about the Superbowl.
The last Hawk team to play the STEALers in the SB wasn't anywhere near the overall quality of player by position that this club is. Hasslebeck played in a Northern outdoor stadium also. Our receivers dropped more balls than they caught. Wilson is just a better QB even as a Rookie and now a soph than Matt ever was. Our recievers seldom drop a ball within reach. In Atlanta I think Wilson chucked the rock around 25 times and had just under three hundred yards. Russell gets more yards out of fewer tosses than any QB I can think of in the game today.
Then there is Marshawn Lynch. He is easily in the top three of punishing RBs in the NFL right now. Seattle is as we know a "run first" team.
Wilson has the legs to run for a first down on just about any play he chooses. I can't help but think that Carroll is holding Wilson back this season on the running option so he can use it late in the season and playoffs when our opposition isn't really looking for it or game planned for it.
We have only two more away games... The Giants and SF. As good as N O is at home they are a different team on the road and barring some crazy injuries I don't see the Hawks losing at home this season including the playoffs.
A 15-1 season isn't a pipe dream. It is more likely than not.
There isn't an AFC team that scares me if we make it to the SB. Not one. Manning can't hang with the Hawk D and KC can't trade scores with Wilson. The team I would actually LOVE to play in a SB is a rematch with the Colts. Carolina is coming on too though but we already have thier number.
This week we are hosting the magnificent Vikings. I'm not sure even they know who will be taking snaps. It will be fun to watch one of the best RBs in NFL history in Adrian Peterson..
