Signs are pointing towards just the third time (if it happens) in Seahawk history (home games).
I'm thinking this may favor Da Bears, as you know Chicago has many days every year with sub-freezing and snowy weather. And we all know Russ does not do well in the rain, snow could not be better for him, I would think.


As this season is toast for the Hawks, might as well have a good snowbowl....

we will see however as to the myth that Wilson struggles in rain or snow the first question is what are his numbers in rain or snow compared to dry and then how does that compare to other top QBs.

I think you will find all top QBs struggle in the rain and snow. The real question is doe sit affect Wilson more than others.


For example, here is what Brees was like dry to rain weather. Dark is dry, gold is rain.

The important thing is, you have an excuse lined up in case he plays poorly.

Russ is on the report with an ankle from the Rams. And like most QBs his moonballs--inaccurate has they have been--will be stymied by near freezing rain or snow. You are going to have to go heavy run in a bad-weather game like that, which it seems both he and Geno are equivalent at.

He'll be playing against Nick Foles as Fields can't go. And if the game is lost, that'll impact his trade value. But then again, sitting him for injury also will.

IDK what to do with this guy anymore.

Ain't gonna lie. I am so glad we sold our tickets for tomorrow. I paid my dues in a snow game once. Seahawks Packers...I think it was Holmgren's last game. My sister and law and I got stuck in the snow going home and we were stranded for 8 hours. No thanks. Never again.

I might do that for a Super Bowl but not a regular season game. Nope.

I stared at that chart above for 5 solid mins. I have no idea what the hell its trying to convey.

Six separate categories on the Y axis means its not comparing like data, and I have no clue what the X axis is showing.

Go Hawks!

Was that a night game? Was wondering, because my bro and I got stuck one night. I had been using the Tukwila Park & Ride, but that night the buses stopped running. We stood at the bus stop on 4th Ave for a couple of hours. Luckily I knew a guy who lived in town and was willing to pick us up and run us down to Tukwila. From there it was dicey, but we made it home. Tough night.
