Are your eyes not bleeding yet? O.o

For those saying the Seahawks offense has been better without Lynch, yeah that's true because Thomas Rawls largely outperformed Lynch. This is significant because the Vikings run D was ranked #17. Now, without Lynch or Rawls, the Vikings will be able to shut down the Seahawks running game especially with Linval Joseph back, the best run stuffing DT in the league. Add in the -15 temperature that will affect those touch passes that Wilson likes and this becomes a very interesting game. This helps the Vikings offense a lot IMO because now they will run AP like 20+ times in a low scoring game, instead of abandoning the run like last time and relying on Bridgewater.

lol. Me too. Where does one girl end and the other begin? Time to being out the flour. Ewww. Sorry.

That sucks for y'all, especially with Rawls out, the Hawks pretty much have no run game I would think. As much as I would like to play Seattle next week to stomp them, I just see the weather plus injuries being to much of factors for them to beat Minnesota.

You should know gravity when you see it, Mr College man.

lol didn't want to play in the cold.

Lynch reportedly was the one who made the decision not to play. And he's kind of an odd dude.

I'd say it's possible.

They've been without him most of the season it seems. Honestly none of that weather, beast out and that shade poo jeremy posted matters. You still have to line up and play the game

Skittles are hard as rock when frozen, so yeah.

Well, we won't get to play both. If the Vikings win today they go to Arizona. 

then I guess there's still room for people to say 'what if' the panthers

You mean we won't get to play the Vikes. We don't play both no matter who wins. 

I'm hoping the Hawks and Packers lose and we get that team we've already whipped by 4 TD's.

Face it you all secretly want Seattle to win so we can be friends another week. 

But really.. I figured there'd be some interest here given Seattle is one of your 3 possible opponents.  

There is. If you didn't start it, someone else would have. I do think it hurts Seattle. Basically because no one would want to hit Lynch in subzero weather, just like NOBODY is going to want to hit AP.

[Mr. Scot]

We could play the Vikes if both teams make the NFC Championship.

Only because Thomas Rawls has been way better than Lynch. He had 101 yards on 19 carries against the Vikings in the first game. Now, he's out too. Lynch would have been the perfect RB for this type of game in -15 weather, especially against a #17 ranked Vikings run defense. Now, the Seahawks have non-factors at RB with a tendency to fumble, which only gets worse in this type of weather.

That's going to be a brutal game.
