Playing on Sunday at 1

[frash.exe]

Besides the Seahawks playing at 10 AM from their perspective, how else does it play in our favor? I think Ron has mentioned during the regular season he's more comfortable preparing his team for a 1:00 Sunday game than any other time. Maybe because it's normal routine, idk. In 2013 we played the Niners in the same time slot in the divisionals, but let's be honest it was our first playoff game since 2009, and we were playing the defending NFC champs. In hindsight it was a tall order. We might still have the defending NFC champs on our plate this week, but the team should be more acclimated to the playoffs as this is the third year in a row they've made it. How comfortable are you that this is a Sunday 1 PM as opposed to a Saturday prime time?

If i recall, the Niners were an anomaly with the early kickoff for a west coast team.

I guess it's perspective and mindset.  Seattle feels like they have house money and all the pressure is on Carolina. If that helps you ok sure.

I would have liked a Sat kick for a shorter odd day week for Seattle. It's so late in the year that the edge may lie in healthy players and ball control and protection more than anything else.

Rivera loves routine.

Calling for rain and snow on Sunday now as well.

Considering I would actually like to make it through the gates, I love this time. We're the only game on anyway, so it's essentially "Primetime."  And the Seahawks have to play a 10am game after having to exit their hotel at 3 am due to a fire alarm.

the only advantage I see is that they have to do it two weeks in a row

If anything the Seahawks are used to playing in cold wet conditions. I don't know if that is an advantage for us.

crap, it really is rain and snow on sunday. 

out of all days, why this sunday? 

Cam hates this weather ... look for a heavy dose of stewart/tolbert/CAP ...

There is very little chance of any significant precipitation on Sunday afternoon.  I doubt our gameplan will change one bit.
