70% chance of rain, 11-20+ MPH winds. I'm not expecting much out of any players on offense, including my DJax

Very true. Virtually every major east coast city gets many more inches of rain each year than Seattle does. However, around November the "rain" starts here in the Northwest and usually doesn't let up until late March. Here are some odd concepts that can better describe our type of "rain". No one ever uses an umbrella here. Almost never. It's just not necessary because it never rains hard enough to warrant it. Intermitent wipers are must here. It doesn't rain hard enough here to require anything other than that. I don't think I've put my wipers on the low setting in the past couple of years more than once or twice. High?

I believe it has rained during a Seahawks home game exactly one time. If it doesn rain (because it can happen), I seriously doubt it will be anything more than a drizzle. Sure, it could happen. Downpours do occur, but past history seems to indicate it should be nothing to worry about.I end up having to post in one of these threads every year. BassNBrew will back me up on this. Seattle has a reputation for lots of rain. It's just not the sort of rain that other people in other parts of the country are used to.So what are thoughts about Monday night then?

Since you can apparently predict the future here Nostradamus, can you give me Randy Moss' stat live vs. Lee Evans?TIA!

I have a nagging feeling that this is a blowout for Seattle. Bad weather favors them since they are used to it up in Seattle, while Oakland may not be as prepared for the bad weather. I guess we will find out tonight.

I hope Darrell Jackson sits out, then I win by a gnat's ###.

I truly hope not, seeing as I need 14 pts or so from Moss

I am looking at Qwest Field as I am typing this and it is just a mess today. Seriously DUMPING outside with no end in sight. There are flood warnings out in the Seattle area and it's going to be a terrible night for football. At least it's somewhat warm though.

As best as I can remember we have only had one game up here that it was raining at - Dallas - LAST SEASON! contrary to popular opinion the weather here is no worse than anywhere else. Having said that - we are in the midst of a 10 day piss-fest right now and the rain is coming down in sheets - I wouldn't have high expectations for either offense tonight - which is fine by me as I have the OAK DEF.

I disagree. It took something like two seasons for it to even rain once at Qwest field during a game. There really haven't been that many games in the rain at Qwest since then, and when they do occur, it's usually just light rain. Anyway, I think a windy and WET game favors the Raiders a hell of a lot more than it does the Hawks. The Raiders defense has been quite stout, and if anyone is going to successfully run the ball tonight, my guess is that it will be the Raiders.Don't get me wrong, I still like the Hawks to win...But I've lost a ton of faith in both their run and pass defense and their ability to keep the big plays to a minimum.

Its about 12pm local time. The rain has reduced quite a bit now. But is definately soggy out. Early in the morning the Hood's canal bridge was closed due to winds of 40mph +. The winds have really dropped down now -- according to the hour-by-hour forecast, wind won't be tooo bad. Temps are at about 60 -- actually pretty pleasant.
The field is built for wet conditions. I think it'll be just fine.

Apparently, the downpour is occurring.I'm about 100 miles north of Seattle. Started last night, and it's still raining much harder than normal here. Time will tell, but if this keeps up it will certainly affect the game tonight.

I think he plays. Reports from Farnesworth yesterday was that he'll be fine.Wouldn't be suprised if D Jax sits this one out.....Homers???

Please remove your headgear
I don't think it can ever get sloppy on field turf.It's going to be sloppy and Oakland actually runs the ball better than Seattle right now....I still think Seattle wins.23 - 13 Seattle
This is correct.

I usually don't quote myself. I just walked outside to our other building (I'm across the street from the stadium), it "looked" like it has let up -- but, I have changed my opinion. It is still coming down steady. The wind stopped beating it against my window, so, I mistakenly took that for lower volume. Its dang wet.http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/...pnav_undeclared

Well it's BAD news for my Fantasy Team - and as THAT matters to EVERYONE - stop it!Shick! said:This rain thing is good news for the folks that live here.

Didn't really read the above threads, so I'll throw my two cents in.
Seattle rain diffrent than rain any where else, this is bad for Oakland. 95% of the seats at Qwest field are covered, but the field is not. I think it has only rained one or two times during a game at Qwest field.
For those people that think this is going to be a run fest because of the weather....you have never played football(In the rain). Rain helps out each offense. The WR's know where they are going and is based on timing. The DB's fall on their *** WR's score TD's.
Other than that the field turf was built for rainy weather.
GO HAWKS.
