So what do the Seattle Seahawks think about deflate-gate? Not much. They say they are not concerning themselves with all the controversy. They know it is a distraction for the Patriots because that’s all the media wants to talk about.

Defensive end Kevin Williams does say he’s glad it’s the Patriots problem and not the Seahawks but he downplays the entire affair. Williams says you still have to tackle, cover and rush the quarterback, it doesn’t matter how much air is in the ball.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson didn’t say much about it but joked: ‘Just as long as the footballs have laces, I’m good to go’.  Even outspoken cornerback Richard Sherman said it didn’t have much effect on the AFC Championship Game.

Bottom line is Seattle doesn’t care about all of this but the Patriots have to deal with it deflecting their attention from the game. If any team in the league can put this out of their mind and prepare for what they have to do, it is the New England Patriots.

If they win the Super Bowl all the talk will be how they were able to rise above the controversy, if they lose the game all the talk will be about how they were distracted and couldn't focus on the game.
