Supposed to have advisory level winds starting tonight through tomorrow. 15-30 gusts to 50 slowly diminishing through the game. Advantage Hawks?

It wasn't an advantage last year in the playoffs vs. Brees as the Saints hung with us until the end.

I'd much rather have perfect playing conditions despite any perceived advantage people may think that the weather might provide. How teams will handle various weather conditions is an unpredictable variable, and we are already the better team in fair weather and do not need any 'advantages.'

The Two Game Changing Variables.

1. Gusty Wind at the wrong time - it plays no favorites

2. Referees - they may have favorites

Both QB's throw a ball tight enough to work in wind, Rodgers spirals might be a littler tighter so advantage Rogers. If its really windy we will see who can run the ball better. I think we will anyway.I cant imagine GB coming in with a really pass heavy game plan.

Refs yes they are worrisome. I can handle losing fair and square but if we get this weeks whoopee cushion call or non call I might have to take up golfing on Sundays.

Speaking of which anyone know who the crew will be?

Speaking of wind, since we're stuck listening to two huge windbags, full of hot smelly air, this thread seems like the PERFECT place to put this!

This link is saying that gusts will be between 12-22 mph during the game, with the heavier wind being earlier in the day.

Regardless, we have the advantage under any circumstances, IMO, and GB relies a lot more on Rodgers passing than we do with RW.

We'll be fine.

Go Seahawks!!!
