Read it on PFT comments.
Last 2 years teams have really struggled playing SEA the first time but have done better the 2nd time.
Hawks blew out Saints & SF during regular season, then won closer games in playoffs. Blew out Denver in SB, then won in OT early in the season. Dallas is of course different but SEA was a mess that game with Harvin thing and not healthy on D.
Maybe teams get so overwhelmed the first time around whereas they gain some insight into what to do the next time. Bellichek is obviously a great coach but how can you out-scheme a team that is faster and more physical, that you are facing for the first time.
