even USA TODAY has said that the weather which they expect to be like it was when the Hawks were there earlier in the low 30's.that it favors the Hawks.it really does cause the Hawks can run the ball and shread that swiss cheese defense of the donkeys.
The donkeys didnt have a running game to begin with eve with Noshawn Moreno.
NOW with him out,they will REALLY be one dimenisional in their passing game and the Hawks will feast off Manning and pin their ears back on him as the day goes on.
again,expect this game to be the worst game of mannings career since his first game as a rookie.
Payton gets to play the varsity in two weeks.......Hawks far more physical than NE or SD. Cant stand Sherman and never was a huge Payton guy.......hope for a good game.
Tell you this.....IM about an hour from MetLife Field and it is as cold as a witches tit tonight. If its anything like this in two Sunday's, I'll take the bruising ground game for $500.

Which is WHY it favors the Hawks so greatly.The Hawks have a great running game with Lynch against a swiss cheese defense,the donkeys have NO running game against a very formidable defense,gee i wonder who wins this game?
if this game was in denver,Manning probably wins with that 12th man crowd inhibiting the the play calling not allowing the Hawks to do audibles as it did with Brady,and that mile high thin air might wear them out in the end like it did the pats.
But on a neautral field with no running game for the donkeys against a defense far superiour than the cheatriots? Manning will have nightmares all night long after the game and never want to face the Hawks again in his life.
The weather will decide the winner. It is pretty simple. Denver is all about timing and speed. If it snows and the weather sucks, that will favor the SeaHags.
some people are in denial and cant handle that truth.
Manning will/should have his hands full trying to get Decker and Welker the ball. I seriously doubt he will attempt to throw deep much if at all. I see Welker getting hit hard a couple of times in the first qtr and start to drop passes hearing those assassins footsteps.
Two players that haven't been discussed much that Denver hasn't seen much or had much experience with should cause the Denver defense fits. The NFC has several running...read option QBs and most teams in the NFC have devised defenses to contain them to varying degrees. The AFC has no Russell Wilsons nor do they have any way to prepare for Percy Harvin.
Harvin's pure speed and quickness is stunning. He is Wes Welker with after burners. If Harvin gets the ball in the open field he can take it to the house from anywhere on the field on any given play.
Then there is Russell Wilson. He can literally run circles around a crashing D-Line. The way he extends plays causes multiple layers of problems for a defense. First and not the least in importance is that he causes the big men to run a lot farther and a lot longer than they are conditioned for. Wilson can wear out D-Lines and that just makes it easier for Lynch to find holes as the D-Linmen are still gasping to get air from a previous play. If Wilson gets outside the pocket the pedestrian much damaged Denver secondary will almost certainly get tagged for long completions and see the Hawks knocking at the door in the red zone multiple times.
Yeah thats something that my local paper was mentioning as well is that the Defense of the donkeys would have a hard enough time as it is with the seahawks D without Harvin but with him? His presence alone will allow force the donkeys secondary to put at least one man on him that they wouldnt have to otherwise if he was still hurt,but since he isnt,it causes them to put at least one man on him probably Bailey,and that allows Tate to get more open.
Then there is mr clutch wilson himself.The niners much tougher defense,couldnt stop him from completing a crucial 4th and 7 pass in the end zone to Kearse when the game was on the line,think the donkeys swiss cheese D will fare any better?
The Hawks D which was already scary to begin with,even got more scary and more of a force to be reckoned with with the return of that one guy on the D-cant think of his name cause he is so underrated,but he is very good and with him back,Manning will wish he was still hurt.hee hee.
Good point on welker.he did the same thing in his last superbowl with the cheatriots.Once he started getting hit really hard in the second half against the Giants,he heard footsteps and got scared and started dropping easy passes and was a non factor in the second hald.same thing happens again.
One other thing donkey fans are forgetting is the only reason the game was close at the end was wilson unchariistically fumbled the ball zeep in his territory when aldon got oast the protection of their offense,and that the main reason the niners were able to keep it a close game in the end was cause when the niners protection broke down from the pass rush of the Hawks,Kappy was able to keep the play alive with his legs running down the field setting up a key touchdown for them.
Our Hawks dont have to worry about containing a scrambling quaerterback THIS time.the donkeys do with wilson though.
Manning will be like the statue of liberty standing back there which allows the Hawks to pin their ears back.The donkeys having no running game and all. Hey donkey fans? remember how John Elway could never WIN the superbowl till he got a running game late in his career?
I guarantee,Manning wishes he had that young Terral davis that Elway had right now.lol.
They are also forgetting Manning is mr choke in BIG games.
