True or False

[AvengerRam]

True or false:

The gap between the Seahawks' level of play at home and on the road is greater than any other team in the NFL.


(Note: Don't take this as a dig. As I noted in another thread, I think the Hawks have the biggest home field advantage in the NFL, so they oculd have a large gap due to that fact, rather than poor performance on the road.)

Answer to your question is false. This isn't Holmgren's Hawks.

Answer to your question is false. This isn't Holmgren's Hawks.

I'm not sure what the answer is.

During the first 2/3 of 2012, I would have said "true." Then, at the end of the year and in the playoffs, they seemed to get over the hump in terms of road play.

I think that is changing slowly. I felt like the Hawks were in every game last year on the road. I think they honestly will not allow a 10AM start become an excuse for not showing up. We saw the slow starts last year on the road, but we also saw some breakout road games like we haven't seen for ages. I'd say your statement is true that it's the best home field, but I don't think the gap is as high as it used to be.

 

[Largent80]

We proved last year that we can win on the road. You will see it again this year.

 

[AvengerRam]

As an objective fact on point, I note that the Hawks were +5 in home vs. road wins. The Vikings were a +4, and no other team was more than +3.

 

[Laloosh]

In 2012?

Considering SEA didn't lose a game by more than 7 points all season, I don't see how this can be the case. If comparing home vs away record alone, perhaps someone can make this argument but I would have to say...

FALSE

idk, I think he's asking an interesting question. At least he's trying to generate a little conversation, as opposed to "OMG SKIP BAYLESS!" or "PRE-SEASON POWER RANKINGS ARE OUT!!"

To answer the question, I do think the gap is closing and the Hawks will continue to become a good road team now that Wilson is the QB. The big road wins last year in Chicago, Washington and almost knocking off the Falcons in their house prove it.

Above average run game + Nasty run stuffing D + level headed smart QB = capable of winning anywhere on the road.

 

[MOCHawk]

So they beat everyone by 50 at home and 10 on the road...it's still 16-0. :thirishdrinkers:

Interesting (loaded) question. Hawks are the only undefeated team at home last year, so most likely to have the biggest difference. Also taking into account their pts for vs pts against, this is a silly question. Move on ram troll.

 

[rideaducati]

HA! Rams fans are funny. It's hard for teams that suck like the rams to have a + ratio at all.

You rams fans should try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-d-Hf5Zzn4

Gotta say - I love the slow clap portion.... at the end it's former Seahawk Josh Brown kicking off in an empty stadium with people sitting down in their chairs. Hilarious!

Actually, most Rams fans remember 1999-2001, when the Rams were 23-5 at home (including 4-0 in the playoffs).

This isn't a loaded or trick question.

Actually, most Rams fans remember 1999-2011, when the Rams were 23-5 at home (including 4-0 in the playoffs).

You didn't address any counter points, troll.

I also didn't take a position on the true or false question. I simply put it out there for discussion.

It's a concept that people that aren't fans of the Seahawks are going to quit talking about very soon. Yes, the Seahawks have a great home field advantage, but this team is really good now and they will be winning a lot of road games because they are good. Most teams have a better home record than road record. I believe only the Dolphins of the past couple years have a better road record than home record.

 

[Barthawk]

Seahawks have gone 26 games without losing by more than 7 points.. I believe the last loss over more than 7 points was against Dallas at the midway point of 2011.

Really? I think your numbers are suspect.
