This thread will be bumped near game time and pinned once it starts

Good luck

 

[Fallerjw]

It appears that weather will be a factor. I hope the Browns O-Line and Jamal bring thier "A game" today.

 

[Billy Bats]

Cleveland- On CBS the conditions looked real bad. High winds and snowing hard.

Cleveland- On CBS the conditions looked real bad. High winds and snowing hard.

from a Cleveland live chat:"The wind is blowing something fierce, kickers were trying 30-yard FGs before the game and missing them...the field is covered in snow, only several of the yard lines are visible..."

Pics of 10 mins worth of snow earlier...

In C-Town we call this perfect football weather. The fiels itself will be in great condition, the only real factor will be the wind. I still see plenty of scoring in this one though.

 

[taylormeetstheismann]

What's the general view on how this kind of weather will affect the receiving game?

Is it there are fewer passing attempts and less yards?

Or it's harder for coverage so there is more of a chance for big gains?

 

[Arnold. S]

my season falls on the broad shoulders of Derek Anderson... LETS GO!!!

I own Anderson so I'm on the optimistic side, but Edwards, Winslow, JJ are all great at making plays and running after the catch, so if they go to the short passing game against the zone defense, Cleveland might still do okay in the passing game. Plus Jamal Lewis has been playing great lately, so hopefully we won't see a game like the one in Pittsburg the other week

 

[Interseptopus]

Gotta start your studs... go with the guys who got you there. No regrets!

GO EDWARDS!

 

[shadyridr]

Wow this blizzard is so bad I dont even know if Lewis made a good start

 

[OddibeMcD]

That is the Bills season in a nutshell. Braylon drops a ball, JJ there to clean up the scraps. This is the game everyone should have been worried about, not the NE game. There may be no fantasy production here at all.

 

[delusional]

< DA BE starter

/cry

 

[GoBirds]

Winslow getting any looks?

 

[tampa bay rowdies]

How did he hit a 35 yd field goal!!

 

[Fallerjw]

34 yard FG did not look easy. Scoring might be limited in this game.

 

[Lombaowski]

Don't eat the yellow snow

 

[Scruff Mcgruff]

I wish this was the game I had. Not only cause im an anderson-edwards owner but because this looks like a fun game to watch in the blizzard

 

[RudiStein]

What's that stuff all over the field?

Yeah the Browns look to be able to pass in this game. Lynch just took off into the secondary also. Gonna be a good game.

 

[Gnat Berries]

So far the Bills are running the ball MUCH better than the Browns.

 

[Interseptopus]

Is it snowing??

 

[OddibeMcD]

Cleveland needs to get Lewis 35 carries today.

 

[Fallerjw]

Cleveland needs to get Lewis 35 carries today.

They might. We'll see how the change in direction will affect the teams. There's definitely a wind factor. Buffalo goes for it on 4th and 11 from the 23 yard line.

 

[OddibeMcD]

Safety Cleveland, snap sailed over Moorman's head b/c of the wind and he had to kick it out of the back of the endzone.

Edit: The ensuing kickoff goes out of bounds. So, free kick from the 20, ball is spotted 30 yards from the spot of the kick. The refs can't find midfield while the commentators go on about how the ball needs to be spotted at the 40 and "Why are they looking for the logo?"

 

[Challenge Everything]

Watching the Packers game with no video feed of the Buff vs. Clev game. They just showed the scoring update of the safety... looks like a fun game to be at and to watch.

BTW - the yellow line indicating first down will come in handy on the field today.

That would be great if their spotters could line things up. They can't so there's no yellow line today either.

 

[OddibeMcD]

The punting game is the Bills bane and boon today.

 

[FFTBrownsFan]

The Browns are running the ball really really well. It's going to help as field position is everything in this weather.

 

[FFTBrownsFan]

WOW. Awesome catch by Edwards

 

[delusional]

Sure be nice to see like a anderson to edwards 40+yd TD here

 

[mr blond]

J. Lewis just went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season.

 

[johnny_q]

If anybody is in Cleveland, please let Derek Anderson know that you should make short passes in these weather conditions. Kellen Winslow will be there for you.

 

[FFTBrownsFan]

I'll put in a word for you.

 

[GoBirds]

killing me.

 

[GroveDiesel]

According to the Football Outsiders and their DVOA stats, the Buffalo Bills are the best in the league at defending the TE.

 

[johnny_q]

I'll put in a word for you.

Thanks. I see DA listened, as Winslow just got two targets. Now, please nudge Winslow and tell him to catch the ball.

 

[FFTBrownsFan]

Holy crap - a 48 yard FG for Dawson into the wind. WOW.

 

[packersfan]

If anybody is in Cleveland, please let Derek Anderson know that you should make short passes in these weather conditions. Kellen Winslow will be there for you.

killing me.

On his way to his third p**s poor game in a row.

 

[FFTBrownsFan]

And it hit the middle thing that he hit in Baltimore too...

 

[shakeybarn]

Benched Braylon given the weather.... opens the game up with 20 yds... at 64 now.. ugh.

 

[Chief]

Edwards is absolutely abusing Terrance McGee.

 

[PACKER 7]

Sweet Winslow I've missed you so...

WOW A CATCH

 

[OddibeMcD]

Great punt, the Bills need a couple first downs here.

Moorman is solid, but the punting game has been hit and miss today.

 

[packersfan]

Anybody want to start a pool on when this season Winslow catches another pass?

Bout 15 minutes ago.
