SEATTLE, WA -- Seattle isn't that bad.
The weather is a noticeable notch warmer than New England. As of 11 AM (2 PM EST) it's 62 degrees and comfortable. Of course, it's also humid as hell.
The gray sky is swollen with the rain and thunderstorms predicted to start at kickoff last through 4 o'clock. Lucky for the Patriots to have practiced in the rain all week.
Some of the usual suspects were out early on CenturyLink's turf: Chandler Jones, Jake Bequette, Deion Branch Chandler Jones, and Stevan Ridley.
Sebastian Vollmer, listed as questionable on Friday's practice report, went through warmups with trainers. It appears the offensive tackle will be a game-time decision as he spoke with the staff at length after the session before heading back to the locker room.
Tom Brady evet appears the offensive tackle will be a game-time decision as he spoke with the staff at length after the session before heading back to the locker room.
The stadium itself has a fantastic design. It's open-air, yet there's an intimate feel because of large arcing structures on the sides that provide partial closure. Probably why the crowd -- Seattle's "12th Man" -- sounds even more raucous.
Both the Patriots and Seahawks will look to improve to 4-2.
