I’ve never played in the snow myself. Neither has our quarterback, Russell Wilson, who told me the only time he’s ever done it was during a practice at Wisconsin. Yet I still feel confident we would have an advantage over most teams in the snow, no matter the stage, because we run the ball well and we defend the run. Do both of those things, and your offense can run play-action and catch a defense on bad footing—and your defense forces the other team into passing situations with cold hands. Plus, I like the idea of quarterbacks with frozen fingers throwing off target and wide receivers dropping footballs.
But I still think hosting a Super Bowl in New Jersey is a big mistake.
I saw the early portions of the Detroit-Philadelphia game in Week 14. It wasn't much to watch. The offensive and defensive lines were moving in slow motion. The receivers and defensive backs were slipping around the field.
I personally could not agree with him less. Playing in the snow is something players and teams learn how to do. Second as Sherman notes the offensive and defensive lines move in slow motion. This hurts the Hawks who play best when they're playing fast. This also hurts the running game more than the passing game. It also makes it hards for the Hawks defensive backs to be aggressive. If they are and fall down it's 6 points. Seattle should root for wind not snow.
If the Pats somehow get through I would be praying for snow vs the Hawks.
