looked forward to me too.
Me three.
I watched the game on DVR. That finish was wild but I rewound it 3 times and Ben definitely did a forward lateral.

Nines obviously need this game more than the Seahawks who pretty much have home advantage wrapped up for the playoffs. I expected a bit of a let down for the Hawks after the big win on MNF, but it's a close one so far with both D's standing tall. It's going to be decided by the QB's.

goodell is the only thing keeping your guys from the game so far.

Absolutely agree.
People are nostalgic for those frozen tundra championship game in the pre Super Bowl era, as if only those games were "real football" for "real men."
All that does is potentially make passing and defending more difficult, removing athleticism in the title game.
We may have a Super Bowl like that this February. If not blizzard conditions, then frigid temperatures or blustery wind. May be Peyton's nightmare.
It's probably not a coincidence that the popularity of the NFL and the Super Bowl took off after they moved from championship games often held in freezing northern cities to Super Bowls in moderate winter climate venues.

This is the biggest issue I have with non-domed / poor weather stadiums......it is survival of the fittest and the one team who overcomes the elements. While I realize bad weather has been a part of football for ages, with the athletes we have today, I would rather see them play in good conditions and let athleticism hold center stage, not who can trudge through the snow the best. The best examples of the weather winning were the Ice Bowl between Dallas and Green Bay. The turf was like concrete and it was below freezing. We did not see the best athletic skills on display that day. The next best example was the AFC playoff game between Cincy and San Diego. Clear advantage to Cincy since they played and lived in that environment day in and day out. I just wish we could take extreme weather out of the equation when you consider that the NBA, NHL, and for the most part MLB play their games in excellent to decent weather. There you get mano y mano athletic skills on display. Retractable roofs make alot of sense in poor weather cities....
I don't begrudge anyone who feels differently though.....
