* Alexander and Branch out.

* Holmgren says SEA going to start chucking it more as running game blows.

* The entire NFC West sucks.

* Weather could be a huge factor. Winds and rain may be insane. I think I just saw a farm animal float by my window.

* Nolan may not coach game due to loss in family.

I need 16 from Gore. Here's hoping that SF keeps it on the ground and Nolan finally realizes that in order to win they have to get the ball in Gore's hands.

 
Wasn't there a prime time game in Seattle recently where the rain was so bad that the field started bubbling? Is the weather going to be that bad? Or was that somewhere else?

I seem to recall a flooding situation. Can't remember for sure. Found this post in another thread. Looks like the winds will back way off by the time the game rolls around tonight.
From the National Weather ServiceToday: Periods of rain. High near 53. Windy, with a south southeast wind 17 to 20 mph becoming south between 28 and 31 mph. Winds could gust as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.Tonight: Periods of showers, mainly before 10pm. Low around 41. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 19 to 22 mph becoming east 10 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PMPST THIS AFTERNOON..THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A HIGH WINDWARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM PSTTHIS AFTERNOON. THE HIGH WIND WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGHTHE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE RISESBEHIND THE FRONT. SOUTH WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH POSSIBLE GUSTSTO 60 MPH ARE EXPECTED WITH AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. THE HIGHWINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO LAST VERY LONG.

I thought it was announced last night that Nolan was coaching in memory of his father.

Good, I need a decent game from Vernon Davis and I would like to go to bed relatively early tonight.

Sounds good. I hadn't heard anything either way yet. Will make for a good story, but somehow I have the feeling that ESPN will milk the story to the point of making it a joke. I hope not.
 
I work in downtown Seattle and am about 2 miles from the stadium. I'll let you guys know how the weather is looking......from the sounds of the weather forcast the worst should be over by around 4pm.

 
haha...lets hope that weather clears up, i only need 6pts from engram and hackett combined, i should be more than golden, but you never know..if they all came from hackett i win both my leagues, needless to say i'll be cheering for hackett big time tonight

Wasn't it this very game last year? The one with that outrageous bootleg from Alex Smith that fooled the entire Seahawks secondary?

You might be right. I seem to remember plugging in the Seahawks defence and thinking it was easy money, and being disappointed. I think the weather cleared up pretty quickly after the delay, sounds like it could be a repeat tonight.

Last year, Raiders maybe. It was a torrential downpour, and from what I've read this won't be as bad. The field was fine when they played on it, there was a lot of pregame work done to make it so.
 
Three games last year that were played on the national stage showcased the best of Seattle's weather:

In Week 9 vs the Raiders, I don't recall it being too atypcial, but it certainly was pouring prior to the game, and it rained during the game as well, resulting in pretty sloppy play on a bit of a chewed-up field. If I recall, Moss had more drops than catches that night. Sad night for this Raiders fan.

In Week 12 vs the Packers, cold temperatures swept through the region, causing it to snow for the first time ever in a SEA home game. If I recall, the snow stopped at halftime, but where I live only 20 miles East of the city, the snow fell to a foot and a half of thickness -- more in some areas east and north of the city. Remember it well as I had to abandon my car in the parking lot of a Home Depot and trudge straight uphill the last 3 miles of my commute.

In Week 15 vs the Niners, a windstorm swept the northwest, with hurricane-force winds recorded upwards of 90 mph in the area -- it was the worst storm the area had seen in over 10 years, and over 1 million people lost power for days thanks to the storm crippling 75% of PSE's circuits -- some in my neghborhood were without power for weeks. The airport was shut down for a few days, and even the local paper could not put out its next day edition.

Bottom line is that the weather here is fairly volatile, and often changes rapidly. Seems that the wind is slated to die down around 4, and I do believe that while it may be a little windy at gametime, the major 40-60 mph gusts will have passed. If anything, we might see some showers, but that's nothing new for this team in gametime.

It was a Thursday game on NFL Network... Vs the Niners..

RB Frank Gore vs. Seahawks run defense - Gore got some extended practice work late in the week. The plan is for him to tape up that cranky right ankle and go out to play tonight. He'll certainly test it in pregame warmups, at which point a final decision will be made. Gore tore through the Sehawks last season with 356 yards rushing in two games. He did pretty well against the 'Hawks earlier this season, too, but the 49ers fell behind so badly they had to abandon the run. There is no question Seattle has improved its run defense with the additions of safeties Deon Grant and Brian Russell, not to mention the signing of DE Patrick Kerney. The Seahawks yield an average of 3.8 yards a carry and rank 13th in the league vs. the run

You mean the one that Marc Levin asked why they didn't close the roof during?
 
Great. I need 18 points from Hackett and Brown. Sounds like both the passing game and kicking game will be affected. That's about right in line with my fantasy season this year. Hopefully I can catch a break.

Rainy days almost always favor the WRs since they know when they're going to cut. The winds should be in the normal variety by gametime and the passing game isn't a long bomb type. Lots of 12-20 yard passes, not a lot the wind can do to those passes. Hackett has Spiderman hands so i wouldn't worry about it. Probably won't be many 45+ yard FG attempts but the passing game should be fine. Throw in the no running ability and I think you have a good chance at 18 points between the two.

Hope your right. Appreciate the positive energy.
 
FYI....the weather won't be an issue....it has calmed way down here.
Big time. I'm right across from the stadium. Its actually... *gasp* sunny right now. There is still a slight breeze, but, the driving rain has stopped and there is no more howling wind on the windows. I see dry sidewalks down below.Should be pretty good conditions!

So good chance Gore will go then?
Frank Gore-RB- 49ers Nov. 12 - 6:11 pm etESPN.com reports that Frank Gore has been given the "go-ahead" to start Monday night. He's expected to start unless he aggravates his ankle in warmups.

This isn't official, but it's pretty close. Pencil Gore into your lineup and double check with us around 7:30 EST to make sure all goes well in warm-ups. Maurice Hicks and Michael Robinson will spell Gore off the bench.

Why does it seem like all my questionable players never play and all my opponents questionable players always play. Anyone else feel that way?

 
Don't know why, but I get the feeling Gore goes off tonight...120+ yrds. 1 or 2 TDs. I don't own the guy or have a dog in this hunt. Just a feeling...

 
Burlson- there's another guy I wasted a draft pick on. When will I ever learn not to draft Seahawk WRs. Who's the last Seattle WR to be in the top 20? I can't think of one...

Who was it? Seriously, I don't know.
Darrell Jackson. Finished as WR4 in PPG and WR13 overall.
Darn, you are correct, sir. I completely forgot about him. Wonder why?
