Hurricane Joaquin - Eagles vs Redskins game possibly affected (1 Viewer)

[MattFancy]

There's no hurricane hitting the area. I'd imagine the field is currently covered because of all the rain we're getting today/tomorrow morning. Field should be okay for Sunday and there's like 40% chance of rain on Sunday. Wind may be a factor, but overall, the weather shouldn't be a problem.

So the Hurricane is not hitting the east coast but there's still tons of rain and plenty of wind.

Can we get an avoid list rolling?

I'd probably avoid QBs throwing in this weather and their corresponding WRs, but which ones?

Is it wrong to call a RB a mudder? Does anyone have stats of RBs doing poorly or well in the rain and mud?

Would love to know this as well. I'm thinking Matt Jones and DeMarco Murray could go OFF in this one if windy.

Can anyone in DC verify this? Do they keep the field covered?

Winds expected, or no?

When hurricanes pass you by it actually can leave the weather beautiful, it sucks all the bad stuff out of the system and you're left with blue skies and cool air, but it can be quite breezy.

Can't speak for the DC area, but on the Philly news, they're calling for 10 to 15 mph winds. The meteorologist did say there are still a lot of variables and they won't know for sure until tomorrow morning.

Doesn't matter when rain is super heavy, only helps light stuff

I thought the rain would be mostly gone, with breezy (10-15 with some gusts) conditions

Is there a possible Redskin D play here?

My concern over the current weather conditions are nil; my question is what the field looks like after all the rain Fri and Sat. Not the best field to begin with, perhaps soggy and sloppy whether any new rain falls or not?

Looks fine - link above says field 'looks pretty good' and 'unaffected.'

Lots of picks on twitter of players out on the field jogging around, sunny and dry. No apparent issues.

Got lucky. Go Eagles.

Sideline reports are that it is extremely windy right now, though it is expected to get a little better.

that's what I'm hearing. 20-25 mph winds.

What does history tell us with post hurricane weather for RBs vs WRs? Deciding between Jordan and Ryan.

potential for some missed fgs. If you have either kicker, you may want to try the wire.

Going Folk over Sturgis in one league. Absolute crap on the WW in another so sticking with Sturgis and hoping it doesn't kill me.

Weather fine in the DC area. Could get some light rain...cool and overcast. Little wind, but nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Willie Neslon]

how's it looking now?

 

[ATB]

RB game if winds are strong??

 

[tangfoot]

It's windy about a half hour north, if that helps.
