The rest of the team didn't..... Both teams are going to be suffering if temps are indeed as low as they are predicting.

I think it'll hurt Minnesota more than Seattle, tbh.

The Hawks are used to playing in poor weather conditions in an outdoor stadium. Minnesota, up until last year, has been a dome team.

They played outside last year too.

Let's be real here. The only ones that will be hurt by the cold weather are the fans at the game. Their beer is going to freeze, and that sucks.

Just musing around, not calling for this game to not be played or anything, but I was thinking, hypothetically, how cold would the forecast need to be for the NFL to consider cancelling the game?

Like, -50F?

Considering that The Freezer Bowl (1981 AFC Championship game) was -9 with a windchill of -59 i'd say, they can play through the cold.

Seahawks will probably win but I'd like to see the Vikes win. I'm okay with a Zimmer Playoffs W before Marvin Lewis, just not Gruden.

Interesting that you think it will come down to running and defense and you pick against the team with Marshawn Lynch and the best defense in the league.
