Seattle columnist Steve Kelley - I hope you eat every word

[redrock-skins]

The local news did show the players arriving at the hotel last night. The started the segment by saying "Welcome to rainy Seattle. Better get used to it!". They keep playing up the rain angle like it is some sort of advantage. I'll take this weather over 5 degrees and sunny in Lambeau Field or 25 and snowy in Philly. Brunell went to college here. I think he knows how to deal with this "horrible" weather.

Its interesting to note how the rain angle is being played up when by total rainfall amount DC gets almost 3 inches more rain than Seattle per year.

I think the reason why they keep playing it is because it's rained in Seattle for 26 days straight or something like that.

True. We are on a streak up here, but rain will not be a factor. Maybe their crowd will, but the we'll be fine in this weather.
