Rainy Games

[ZagHawk]

So this is Seattle...and it rains here. I know for comfort/safety/security the Hawks generally practice indoors in the VMAC. But does it surprise anyone else that our Hawks seem to play pretty poorly in the rain when it could and should easily be somewhat of a home field advantage for the Hawks? And no this isn't just an overreaction to Carson slipping on himself several times yesterday, it's definitely been something we kind of notice for a lot of rainy games under Pete's coaching and you wonder did these guys bother doing any running drills outside during the week of rain? or practice throwing/catching wet balls at all? etc?

They had over 500 yards of offense. They are plenty capable of moving the ball.
I was more frustrated with the slipping by Carson over and over again.

We should have a stadium like the mariners.

I would like to see what Russ' stats are in rainy weather. Something tells me he has a losing record when it rains.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

The team probably does, which makes no sense.

Perhaps but that does not mean it is Wilson's fault.

And that turnover for a Saints TD is ONE of the reasons we lost that game, and the reason for all the negativity here.
500 + yards at home is usually going to get you a win, but Defense not TACKLING someone like Kamara, or putting much pressure on opposing Quarterbacks forget it.
Something seemed amiss with the Defensive Front, and that had a big impact on this game.

So I know who you are talking about as someone I know on here told me. Since you are basically cursing at me and showing your a child, there is no need for me to engage with you. When you grow up let me know, good bye.

There's not an easy way to compare this across QBs as none of the big football DBs include weather. However, here are RW's stats on their own at Century Link Field through week 14 of the 2018 season.

All: 63.8% completion rate, 8.1 Y/A, 44 Wins and 12 Losses (78%)
Dry: 68.1% completion rate, 8.8 Y/A, 19 Wins and 2 Losses (90%)
Wet: 61.5% completion rate, 7.6 Y/A, 25 Wins and 10 Losses (71%)

Without comparing this to other teams it's hard to draw any strong conclusions from it, other than he is exceptional in dry weather and perhaps mortal in the rain.

You would also need to look at the drop ratio by wr in the rain or slipping by wr in the rain which can impact ypa. Despite those missing pieces of data, 61.5 is far from bad.

Probably true but others will use whatever they can to find excuse go rag on him.
