However, do you dispute that the Seahawks have a unique home field advantage due to the noise level? There are three stadiums where opposing coaches have to make special preparations just due to the noise, Seattle, Minnesota and New Orleans. You never hear of teams having to burn timeouts because they can't hear the play call in the helmet speakers, in the huddle or at the line in NY, Arizona or even in Philadelphia. Heck, even with all of the raucous Raiders fans, the Raiders don't enjoy that same home field advantage the Seahawks, Saints and Vikings do. Making the opposing team burn precious timeouts due to external, non-football, factors is a distinct and unique advantage other teams don't benefit from. Denver is the only other stadium where the home team has a unique advantage over the opponent and that's due to the altitude. Even then, teams have found ways of minimizing the problem through arriving earlier in the week and providing oxygen on the sideline. The cold at Lambeau Field will hamper the current Packers team as much or more than it would the Falcons. The Falcons have a better running game than the Packers. The Packers are more reliant on their passing game. The running game usually suffers less in cold conditions. The Falcons can also practice in the cold to get used to it. They have heated benches and heavy parkas on the sideline as well as hand warmers to use on the field to help mitigate the cold. Both teams have to deal with the same conditions, so it's not unique to one team or the other. And yes, teams earn that home field advantage through their playing records. However, that doesn't mean some teams don't have a more significant advantage. And, it doesn't mean fans of other teams can't root for certain events to happen that would prevent their team from having to play in that situation. ![]()

![]() My Chiefs have been soooo horrible all year long! But I'm glad they are losing these last games. So we can draft ourselves a good QB for once next year!
And I want to throw a shout out to Marshawn Lynch, cause of your great performance I won my Fantasy League Championship! LOL |
