Look at it this way -- Hawks will be about 3.5 hours fresher than the AFC team when it's time to play the big game in Glendale.

Carroll: 'Only fitting that they're starting the game at 12'

Terrible idea, one team would be playing on a short week.. The other wouldn't.
This is the first time a game has been played with a noon kickoff in Seattle. Not worth changing the whole system over.

Why would that be a terrible idea? The difference between 14 days and 13 days is hardly noticeable. It's not like playing on a Sunday and then the following Saturday or even Thursday. There's plenty of time to recover and scheme for the game, especially in light of the fact the players get a day or so off between.
That would work out in everyone's favor, fans, players, and the league. Besides, it'd give everyone an extra day of football rather than cramming both games into one day.
