Is this true? Deon said it on the local Boston radio station up here and I'm looking for confirmation. It's been raining pretty much every day for the past two weeks in New England and I'm hating it. So your defense is looking top notch. You guys probably have the biggest CBs in the league. The pass rush seems nasty too, especially at home. I think Aaron Rodgers' counselor was working overtime after that Packers game to help him overcome PTSD (Post Traumatic Sack Disorder). Things are pretty good here in New England in case your wondering (except for the aforementioned rain). Leaves are turning color, gas is still under $4 a gallon, the Pats are leading the division and the Jets are a wonderful carnival of misfits. Should be a good game. The Pats have decided to run some sort of hurry up on offense on Amphetimines. If you have any interest here's a pretty good article on what they are trying to do on that side of the ball: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/p ... story.htmlTwo warnings: 1. It's kinda long. You could probably finish half your Venti from Starbucks by the time you're done reading it. 2. They seem to have borrowed much of their philosophy from Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks, so reading it might make some of you Huskies/Cougars fans throw up a little in your mouths. On the defensive side of the ball, the Pats are better than last year but that's not saying much. They seem to be able to get better pressure on the QB when just rushing four. Secondary is still a concern but no team's perfect. I'm assuming they plan on bottling up Lynch and taking their chances with Wilson beating them. By the way, I hear that stadium of your is pretty loud. Is it loud like, a wife yelling at her husband to take the garbage out or loud like a wife catching her husband in bed with the cleaning lady?

 Thanks for visiting. We always welcome civil opposing fans here. Just like most young teams the Hawks are still trying to get the offense in gear, the real matchup will be our D against Brady and Co. Our defense is getting better by the game and are pretty stingy about allowing TD's so far. If there were anyone in the league to change that it is Brady. Should be an entertaining game for sure.

I recently saw figures on a History Channel show that Seattle isn't in the top ten of rainy citys. 37" per year average. The unique thing about a lot of Seattle rain is its ability to have such a fine mist it goes through the weave of your clothes getting you wet but not your clothes. True story.  _________________  Still missing you everyday pal.

Should be an entertaining game for sure. You guys get uncivil opposing fans? Let me guess, uppity Rams fans. Those guys are the worst.

If I remember correctly I also saw on The History Channel thast Seattle has some sort of underground lost city. That seems a little creepy to me.

The standard comment made is from opposing players that say "you can't even hear in the huddle." And as those of us that have attended games at Seahawks Stadium I assure you that the noise of the crowd there is not heard... its felt! A vibration of your entire body. It has to be experienced to be understood. Buck & Aikman have commented on it everytime they've been here. _________________ Still missing you everyday pal.

We are actually in one one of driest stretches in the history of the Northwest right now. Too lazy to look up the correct numbers, but it's barely rained a drop for 3 months.

I do not live in seattle , and i never been there .  with that said it seems like during game times since Qwest Field was built it has only rained ONCE to my knowledge during a game . I wonder if there is a way to find that out . Im sure its misty at times in Seattle but it really has only rained once. Deion Branch is correct.
