The squirting stuff in the player's face was stupid, and that fan should be identified and punished. Who knows what the guy could have in that bottle? Maybe the beer thrower is a friend of the woman who was punched in the stomach (while pregnant), punched in the face and choked out by Tyreek Hill and was getting revenge for her.

I was gonna bring up that game but technically i never saw that game. Was actually at a Seahawks game when that happened. Just remember seeing the score at the stadium though.

King Heffy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Bonehead decision by SF to pass on that 3rd down. GB had no timeouts; could have easily run the clock down if they didn't make it or called one of their 3 remaining if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sure seemed like the 49ers weren't prepared for that last minute. They had Rodgers shut down the past two drives and then they let him throw darts across the field for big gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaquil Griffin looks like a decent replacement for Richard Sherman as CB1 while Bradley McDougald is a better cover safety than Kam Chancellor probably ever was. Meanwhile Tedric Thompson has shown playmaking ability that should let Earl Thomas walk in free agency next offseason. They have Jarran Reid and Frank Clark on the DL. Also Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright, when the latter is healthy, still form a great duo. They still have the 12th man and one of the hardest places to win a game on the road in the entire NFL. Are the Seahawks really an under the radar sleeper NFC wild card team? The d is still top 5. The OL is improved both pass blocking and run wise and they finally found their missing run game. They might be a wr away, perhaps Amari Cooper, from being an under dog threat in the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been playing good, sound, Seahawk football the last few weeks. Ball control and physical, opportunistic defence. That defence is so much better when they control the TOP. They control their destiny when it comes to the playoffs. Home games against the Pack, Vikings, and on the road against the Panthers (all Wild Card contenders). Lets set the playoff bar at 10 wins. I would say they need 6 (1 already) wins at home and 4 (2 already) on the road. Very possible. It is this very brand of Seahawk football that teams do not want to face in the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 In your opinion, what's the toughest stadium for a visiting team to play in and walk out of with a win?

I think the most difficult places to play on the road depend on the cycle the home team is in. Currently the Patriots are on a great up cycle, because of Brady. before him, though, they were not good at all. The Sea-hawks had a great home record for a few years a while back. Now they aren't that great a team, so it's a lot easier to win in Seattle for the visiting teams. Maybe we need to take the last 40 years to get the best gauge? Then I might have Oakland up there with Pittsburgh and Dallas. I definitely wouldn't have New England and Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few that come to mind like Gillette, Century Link, Arrowhead, and Mile High. Just basing it off of the crowd and weather I'd say the Clink. Quote The crowd is notoriously loud during Seahawks games. It has twice held the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium, first at 136.6 decibels in 2013, followed by a measurement of 137.6 decibels in 2014. Both records were eventually broken by crowds at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The current record was set by fans at Arrowhead on September 29, 2014, in a Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, hitting 142.2 decibels.[5][6][7][8] The noise has contributed to the team's home field advantage with an increase in false start (movement by an offensive player prior to the play) and delay of game (failure of the offense to snap the ball prior to the play clock expiring) penalties against visiting teams.[9] The stadium was the first in the NFL to implement a FieldTurf artificial field. Numerous college and high school American football games have also been played at the stadium. Quote From 2002 through 2012, there have been 143 false-start penalties on visiting teams in Seattle, second only to the Minnesota Vikings.[78] During that same time period, the Seahawks have accumulated a home win record of 59-29, with a simultaneous road record of 33-55[79] Quote Kickers experience further disadvantages when attempting field goals at CenturyLink Field. Both the stadium's proximity to Puget Sound and the open north end create winds that are challenging to gauge.[77] Former Seahawks kicker Josh Brown adjusted to the winds, and he believed the moisture in the air caused trouble for others.[92] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CenturyLink_Field Quote Breaking Down the Competitive Advantage of the Seahawks' Home-Field Advantage Tyson Langland@TysonNFLNFC West Lead WriterJanuary 3, 2014Comments Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images From start to finish, 2013 was the Seattle Seahawks' year. They won a playoff game in early January over the Washington Redskins, they traded for an All-Pro wide receiver (Percy Harvin) during the offseason, they matched their best record in team history (13-3), quarterback Russell Wilson set an NFL record by recording 24 wins in his first two seasons and the “12th Man” recorded a Guinness World Record for crowd noise. Sure, the Guinness World Record is viewed as a tad bit cheesy by some, yet it’s a good indicator as to why the Seahawks have a competitive advantage when they play in front of their home crowd. Since 2005, opposing offenses have been flagged for false start penalties on 130 separate occasions at CenturyLink Field. That is by far the highest total in the league over the course of the last eight years. The only stadium that rivaled CenturyLink Field was Mall of America Field. Minnesota Vikings fans cheered loud enough to force 115 false start penalties during that same eight-year span. However, Seahawks fans don’t deserve all the credit for Seattle’s noisy ways. Architect James Poulson warrants praise for his “happy accident.” Poulson calls his design of the stadium a “happy accident” because he didn’t design the stadium so noise would be enhanced, it happened unexpectedly. Here’s what Poulson told Paula Wissel of KPLUWonders.org: “When choosing between sound absorbing materials and hard surfaces they went with hard surfaces. Those hard surfaces are positioned perfectly to deflect the crowd noise back onto the field.” Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images Obviously, there isn’t a way to scientifically prove whether or not the fans directly affect the outcome of a Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field, yet Seattle’s record at home stands for itself. Since the stadium’s inception in 2002, the ‘Hawks have amassed a 66-30 record in the Pacific Northwest. That is the second-best home record in the NFL during that time period. Only the Green Bay Packers have a better mark at home. They are 66-29-1 in 96 games. Yet, Seattle’s overall win percentage of 68.7 pales in comparison to the team’s win percentage at CenturyLink Field under head coach Pete Carroll. From the beginning of the 2010 season until now, Carroll’s club has garnered a 24-8 record at the CLink. This, in turn, means the Seahawks have won 75 percent of their home games under Carroll’s guidance. There’s no question that is an impressive feat. Nevertheless, Seattle’s competitive advantage at home goes beyond wins and losses. It’s a proven fact that the Seahawks put up better numbers at home as well. When you go back to the start of the 2012 season (for the sake of relevancy), the ‘Hawks dominance in the Emerald City shines through. Home vs. Away Statistics Since the Beginning of 2012 Pro Football Reference Passing Yards Rushing Yards Total Yards Turnovers Home 3,184 2,487 5,671 16 Away 3,083 2,280 5,363 21 Total 6,267 4,767 11,034 37 In 16 home games, over the course of the last two years, the Seahawks have tallied 3,184 yards passing, 2,487 yards rushing and 16 turnovers. Those numbers, on a per game basis, average out to 199 yards through the air, 155.4 yards on the ground and one turnover. Away from home, the Seahawks have accumulated 3,083 yards passing, 2,280 yards rushing and 21 turnovers. On a per game basis, the figures mentioned above equate out to 192.6 yards through the air, 142.5 yards on the ground and 1.3 turnovers. It’s easy to see why the ‘Hawks are winners of 15 of their last 16 contests at home. Averaging 354.4 yards of total offense on a consistent basis is hard to beat. Not to mention, opposing offenses have a hard time keeping pace with Darrell Bevell’s offense, thanks in large part to Dan Quinn’s defense. The only team to break through and secure a “W” against Quinn’s defense, at the CLink, was the Arizona Cardinals. The Gridbirds ended the Seahawks' 14-game home winning streak. Based on the fact Seattle has looked invincible at home for the latter part of two years, Arizona’s accomplishment was pretty magnificent. Nonetheless, the Cardinals will be watching the playoffs from the comfort of their own homes. As far as the postseason teams in the NFC go, the last time the Seahawks lost in front of their home crowd to either the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles or Packers was on December 24, 2011. The 49ers squeaked out a victory 19-17. Regardless of Seattle’s upcoming opponent(s), it’s evident that the odds of a Super Bowl run are in the Seahawks' favor. They have home-field advantage all throughout the playoffs, they have the No. 1 defense in the NFL and they have already beat the 49ers and Saints at CenturyLink this season. Furthermore, they defeated the Packers at home in 2012, the Eagles at home in 2011 and the Panthers at home in 2010. This means the Seahawks have beaten every NFC playoff team in Seattle since Carroll came aboard. Yes, rosters have evolved, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Seahawks are practically unbeatable at the CLink. There has never been a more exciting time to be a ‘Hawks fan. With a successful regular season in the books and home-field advantage all throughout the playoffs, Seattle’s time to bring home its first Vince Lombardi Trophy is now.

I cannot find anything on the rain but they purposely built the stadium so the rain blows off a nearby lake and into the direction of the away team sidelines. Or so I heard.
