Amazing weather prediction for potential WC opponent

[bleedsgreenandgold]

Seahawks have only played 20 games in freezing temps, they are 6-14 in those games. That combined with Marshawn coming back should make things interesting.

Playing in weather that cold has to take something physically out of you.  That would be the case for either team.

I've played in weather like that.

Everything hurts.

Hats off to any of the fans that stay at their seat for that whole game.

I lived in Northeast PA for 8 years and Indianapolis 4 years after that.  It wasn't that uncommon to check the weather and the high temperature that day was -3 not counting the wind chill.  Schools would be delayed because it was too dangerous to have kids outside at the bus stop before the sun fully came up.  Any exposed skin would actually start burning on the walk from the car to the office. All physical activity outside like shoveling snow was brutal.  The cold air made my eyes constantly water and also burn your throat and lungs when you tried to catch your breath.  Everything seems to hurt more when it's that cold outside.  It's definitely something you "get used" to and your body will adapt over time but when you aren't used to it, it's a merciless culture shock.  

Advantage Minnesota.

I was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. Not even gonna mention the snow. But school would not be canceled until it hit -20. To be fair, that included windchill. But -19? Go fug yourself kid. Get your ass to school. It changes how you think about cold and is definitely an advantage. Didn't Peanut talk earlier this year about the coldest game he ever played in. He said he didn't care who won. Granted it wasn't a playoff game but it has an effect on your emotions and psychology. And it drains you physically. Not quite as bad as super hot though. That's worse in my opinion.

"Seattle will destroy Minnesota.  Russell Wilson will throw for 700 yards lulz!" - Everyone at ESPN

I can't wait until Minnesota smashes the poo-hawks and we're matched against either Washington or GB in the second round.

Wilson has a knack for scrambling and then throwing some ridiculously lucky shots down field more often than not........I can't see that kind of performance being replicated in weather conditions like they are predicting......the ball changes and its feel on the leather is hard and not good for gripping or touch..........it favors someone with both large hand palms and long fingers like a Cam Newton but is a liability to the smaller QBs........

Just to nitpick, I do agree that the cold will hamper his passing game obviously, but it's time the Huddle stop calling Wilson "lucky" with his throws by now when he's leading the league in passer rating and posting a near 70% completion percentage.

I agree with what you said but I'm talk about those times when he throws out of desperation with bad mechanics and still gets the job done.......its a credit to him and his accuracy/touch on the ball but that is compromised in very cold weather.

Mick, is that you?

If you want a good laugh, read this thread on the seahawks forum.  They are trying to convince themselves that the relatively few heated pipes installed to keep the field from freezing will magically heat the air "20, maybe 30 degrees".
