Colts vs. Jets weather Forecast - RAIN - opinions? (1 Viewer)

This was obviously a passing affair. However, the weather reports mention definite rain and thunderstorms during the day, esp. around gametime.

Any opinions on how this affects the QB/WR for each team?

Any locals want to chime in on the weather?

Thank you

Dal

 
Yeah it doesn't appear to be a scoring fest as originally thought but you never know what can happen look at the last week game of the Bills and the Jets. When I was watching the game it was a raining pretty hard and they still managed to put up some good stats. I am still hoping for M. Harrison to get his first TD of the year. The weather channel is calling for thunder storms and in the 60's we will see what happens tomorrow.

To be honest, I haven't followed the media reports around this game this week. Have people brought up Manning's poor history dealing with the 3-4? We all know he's struggled against Pittsburgh and New England have been pretty well documented. The Jets don't have the same pass rushers as those teams did, but I think this game will end up being very close.

 
Maybe it's just me, but unless it is VERY windy and/or rains VERY hard, it doesn't seem to be as big a factor as it appears.

 
Chase - as for the 3-4 and Manning, I haven't seen anyone else mention it. That looks like a good idea for a quick game thread (hint hint).

As I have MORE than a rooting interest in this game, I have been following the weather for a couple days, and every time, the projection seems to be worse.

I'm not from NY, and have no clue what the weather is like, so heck, it MIGHT be a monsoon with a ton of wind.

This is one I'll be watching....

Chase - I would like to hear more regarding Manning and his history vs, the 3-4, if you would be kind enough to share your insight?

Thank you

 
Just checked weather.com-

1 PM- 64 degrees 50% chance of precip.(scattered t-storms) wind SSW 9 mph.

2 PM- " """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""wind SW 8 mph.

3 PM- 65 degrees""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""wind SW 8 mph.

4 PM- 65 " 30% chance of precip(isolated t-storms) wind WSW 8 mph.

Well Manning's done well against teams that run the 3-4, but Manning's done well against everybody. He's beaten up the Texans and the Chargers (his record breaking TD in 2004) and he had a big MNF game against the Steelers last year as well. But once again, he's done well against almost every team.His most memorable losses though -- both Patriots playoff games, the Steelers game last year, the Chargers game last year, have come aginst the 3-4. That's only four games so it's not a big sample size, but it's games that were on big stages that people should remember. And I do think Manning will struggle a bit more against the 3-4 than other teams, because the Colts OL doesn't block very well against 3-4 blitzes. Maybe djcolts will come in and shed some more light on this for us, as he'd be much more knowledgable about these things than me.

:confused: Most bad weather games (ie usually meaning a lotta rain, with or w/o wind etc) I recall were 13-9 kinda slugfests.Of course you know this is because I decided to start Coles. :angry:

Offense knows where they are going, the defense has to react. That favors WRs in a big way. As long as it isn't a down pour (hard for QB to throw), and there isn't much wind, a light rain favors the offense.
 
Well, I'm no djColts, but I'll give it a shot. Being a Colts season ticket holder and one who feels he has a very good understanding of the Colts, I think it really is more about the blitzing schemes than the defensive alignment.

What I've noticed in the Pats and Steelers is not only the type of blitz package, but the timing of the blitz. Peyton and the Colts have shown a tendency to do the no-huddle. And in the no-huddle, they tend to wait until less then 6 seconds. This is where the defense has the advantage. They show one blitz up until 6 or 7 seconds and this gets the center Jeff Saturday to call the blocking along with Peyton to call the Mike linebacker and the hot read.

What the Pats and Steelers have excelled at is making the final adjustment with less than 6 seconds and applying pressure different than what was expected.

I don't know if the Jets have the players to make this happen.

I also see the Colts making an adjustment this season and doing more plays at 10 seconds. This would then give them the upper hand again against a team not set in what they are wanting to use as the formation.

Watch the game this Sunday and key on the play clock. If you see pressure getting to Manning, see where the clock is prior to the snap.

I hope the Colts continue to mix up the no-huddle to maximize its effect.

We'll see.

I live 10 minutes from the stadium and I'm going to the game today:

Was raining hard until about 25 minutes ago (9:00 am). No rain at all for the past 25 minutes and the forecast is now predicitng no rain past 11:00 am.

As long as the field has been covered (which I think it is safe to say that it has been), I don't think the weather, rain, or the "wetness" of the football will have any effect on this game. Even while raining, there were no major or swirling winds.

HTH. :thumbup:

Thanks for the report. :banned:
 
its stopped raining here in Rutherford... looking towards NY, there are plenty of dark clouds..

its probably going to open up sooner or later..

 
I'm about 45 min away, and it looks like it's clearing a bit. Might be some rain still, but I wouldn't shy away from the passing games despite the forecast. The groundskeepers usually do a good job of keeping the field in reasonably good condition.

 
Radar looks great and the forecast has been substantially modified to only a chance of rain with isolated T-storms. I am starting Coles and Cotchery.

 
Sun is out in Brooklyn right now!! This storm was moving from west to east. Stadium is about 30 minutes west of me so i am assuming it should already be clear there!! Hope this helps

 
The Colts behind Manning have had a tough time at NYJ, 2-3 including a 41-0 playoff loss (2002). With their beat up secondary, this could be a lot closer than we expect.
