TitansFan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well since it looks like they won't be kicking any field goals the rest of the game I have to hope for three touchdowns and three extra points now. I'm doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Come on Brees need you out there once more. Tied and need just 8 yards. Actually not tied because the opponent has the tie breaker due to bench points Edited December 3, 2013 by ThatDude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 *Sigh* Â Well, that certainly didn't live up the the hype. I'm buying into the "Seattle can't be beat at home" thought. If they get home field advantage, which they would have to fall over & die not to, they will roll right through the playoffs. I still don't favor them to win the Superbowl, but they're just money at home. Congrats Hawks, I know your fans have been waiting a long time for a team like this.

PPIchamp Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Ugh, so glad I played the Buffalo D instead of Seattle. I wasn't in love with that matchup Buffalo had, but all the experts were so I said eff it and played 'em. I won the matchup anyway, but the top scorer on the season wins $100.

rajncajn Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 On a good note the Saints held Beastmode to 45 yards and no touchdowns tonight... Too bad I started him & it cost me a first round bye in my local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â With the Super Bowl in New York, with all the possibilities of cold/bad weather, can you tell me what AFC team(or any team for that matter) that is built better to win in those conditions than the Seahawks? I'm thinking the Seahawks or Niners only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the Seahawks or Niners only. On defense, I think the Broncos are built well enough to contain them and the Seattle D isn't as effective without the home crowd. Granted it would be a tight game, but I still think Denver is better and I also believe KC could beat them on an even playing field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Unfortunately it's basically the cap on a horrible few weeks. From having a 2 game lead in the division with 2 weeks to play, to losing both weeks, to losing the tiebreaker by 4.15 points preventing me from getting the bye, to now losing to you in the first round by less than 3 points with Hartline and Ertz staring at me on my bench. I'm just trying to figure out when my name changed to Kevin Ratterree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 oh don't get your panties in a wad. Ive gone on record saying the Hawks are the team to beat.

I'm thinking the Seahawks or Niners only. Â Let's not confuse weather with the fact that the Seahawks' HFA is in large part because of their crowd noise. Not just noise, but a crowd who, in large part, has a very good understanding of when to use that noise to their advantage (and when it can be a disadvantage). I'm not taking anything away from the Seahawks (I think they're a very good team, and they just might be the Super Bowl favorite... AFC included), but I don't think weather has that much to do with their success. Not to mention, there's a big difference between the "typical" weather in Seattle (like the rain we saw last night), and what would potentially take place during a January/February game in New York (it would obviously be snow, not rain). Â Seattle's got a lot of speed, on both sides of the ball. I'm not sure playing in the snow would help them, any more than it would hurt them. Â Of course, there is a good chance that this is a moot point... Unless it's actually snowing during the game (which, of course, is possible, but I wouldn't say it's "likely"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I guess my point is that Brees was obviously affected by the crowd noise somewhat, but more importantly, he was constantly harassed by a very good/agressive defense. Unless I'm missing something, I'd say weather had very little to do with last night's outcome. So, let's not attribute last night's outcome to Brees' ability/inability to perform in adverse weather conditions, since it had little to do with what caused the problems the Saints were having. Â Not to mention, the other teams who are likely considered to be potential Super Bowl contenders all have as much (if not more) experience playing in snow than SEA or SF... Denver, New England, etc. Frankly, outside of those five teams, I'm not sure who else I would include in the Super Bowl discussion. I guess one could include KC or Cincy? They might be the 6th/7th team, if I had to pick one, but other than that... Dallas/Philly? Not that they can't make it, but I'd say they're longshots at best (particularly if they have to win in Seattle to get there). At least, in the AFC, Denver/New England/KC/Cincy will all be playing in climates that they are fairly familiar with... outdoor football in winter conditions, essentially.

I'm simply saying that last night's outcome wasn't because of weather (to say so would be a discredit to their defense), and I don't think Seattle has an advantage over anybody they would likely face in the Super Bowl, based on them playing better in winter weather. They might be the better team, but it's not because of weather. And, at home, it's because of the fans (mostly)... weather may play a small part in it as well, but it's certainly a much smaller part than the crowd noise (whether it's legitimate crowd noise or not).

I remember going to Browns games regularly and how noisy it could get with 70,000 fans yelling/barking.  Or are you suggesting that Seattle is doing some of what Indy was accused of with amplifying the crowd noise and playing it over speakers?  Either way, you and Gopher are correct. Weather was not much of a factor, it is the HFA from crowd noise. Weather is most likely going to be worse in NJ for SB (colder more chance of precip and snow at that).  Also agree that teams other than SEA who have a good shot at SB have more experience playing in cold/snow. I'd toss in the Ravens as well, they looked improved against PIT and could get hot at the right time, even win the division if Cincy stumbles.
