MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!Even gave you a speaking disorder.Here's an idea of what to expect in the passing game. GB vs Chicago 2007. Bad conditions but not even as bad as the conditions today. Cost me the cost me the championship that year.![]()
Was snowing like a mofo ... if not a legit blizzard, than as damn close as possible ... but, IIRC, it was not extremely windy that day. It is the WIND that destroys the passing games, not the precipitation ... recall an Oakland/Denver game some 5 or so years ago, played in blizzard like conditions also (with mild wind), and Collins/Porter went balistic, to the tune of mega-yards and 4 TD hookups .The wind is the mitigating factor in these scenarios, and Chicago is called the "windy city" for a reason ...What was the weather like when NE beat Tenn 59-0?
Doesn't sound too bad for the passing games, not that there is much to speak about outside of Steve Johnson or Ben Watson.Looks like about 36 in Buffalo and low winds but rain/snow mix.
Raining hard. Game isn't until 4PM local time, so could subside but I doubt it. I would look elsewhere from the kicking games.How's it looking in NY? Should we be looking elsewhere for kicking options?
Been a steady rain since early this morning. Has let up a bit, with intermittent showers ... wind has been erratic ... from a steady 5-10 mph, to some gusts that I've seen maul umbrellas. Temperature is gonna be downright balmy, though ... low to mid 50's ... if I had Folk going, I would not be thrilled ...How's it looking in NY? Should we be looking elsewhere for kicking options?
I am on the West Side of Manhattan ... just popped out for a smoke ... and it is mildly drizzling ... but the wind is gusting. Don't know where it is pouring here in the City, but, from my location, it has subsided to a mere drizzle as of right now ...Raining hard.

I am up in the northern suburbs and it's raining very hard. Definitely a bit different around the region - I would ask the Jersey folks if you want a true depiction of the Meadowlands area.I am on the West Side of Manhattan ... just popped out for a smoke ... and it is mildly drizzling ... but the wind is gusting.

Absolutely. Chicago is the #2 rush defense. It's not like the Patriots are going to put up 100 rushing yards (plus another 64 via the air) with their RBs. Oh, wait, they did do that this season, but it was against the Steelers, not the Bears. Steelers aren't ranked #2 against the run. They're ranked #1.I'm not saying that the Pats RBs will be super studs, but to assume that CHI is going to shut them down because they're a strong run-stopping unit would be ignoring facts.I'm benching the NE run game. It's not like NE is gonna run wild on the CHI Def which is a strong run stopping unit.CHI is not the team that you want to gear up the run game against.and take the under?I'm in the west burbs of Chicago and it sucks right now. Windy cold rain/snow crap. Roads are bad. Everything sucks. And its just supposed to get worse. Can't Play football in this. Bench your Chicago/new England passing games.
I'm about 15 minutes from The Meadowlands. It isn't raining at the moment, but the winds are gusting in the 30 mph range I would guess. My thermometer reads 54 degrees right now.I am up in the northern suburbs and it's raining very hard.

Green-Ellis and Woodhead also ran all over the Jets, who rank 3rd in rush defense. It's amazing to me how BJGE continues to be so under-appreciated.That said, if the threat of the pass is taken away that will give the Bears an advantage in rush defense. But the fact of the matter is the Patriots have proven they can run on strong run defenses so on paper this matchup doesn't decidedly favor Chicago.Sorry for the matchup talk.

Thanks.Cold and wet in DC, but not raining hard and very little wind. Wouldn't think it will have any effect on the game at all - mostly just miserable for the fans.
Yep ... just spoke to a friend who works at the track; lives in Carlstadt ... says the rain has stopped, but the gusts are a problem. Dunno how the swirling is in the new stadium, but it was hellacious in the ol' Meadowlands/Giants Stadium ... 6 hours to kickoff, though ... but as of now it looks like the wind will be a pain in the #### ...I'm about 15 minutes from The Meadowlands.

Doesn't take a sack to figure out that game is going to be low scoring.anyone have the sack to bench Brady? What;s the latest in Chi? There's probably no better bad weather QB but they may run it a ton....
anyone remember the tampa vs. denver game way back in the day, so much snow no one could run or throw the ball. wonder if we will see something similar in chicago? this storm kicked our ### here in MN, and the wind was nasty. 7-0, on a fluke score??Green-Ellis and Woodhead also ran all over the Jets, who rank 3rd in rush defense.

Based on this it looks like the wind won't be much of a factor todayPittsburgh weather:Today - Rain showers. Snow showers this afternoon. Little or no snow accumulation. Highs around 40. Temperature falling into the lower 30s this afternoon. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph...becoming south this afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.
Last year Brady tossed 6 TD's in a game against TEN that was 59-0There was tons of snow and 20MPH winds.Doesn't take a sack to figure out that game is going to be low scoring.anyone have the sack to bench Brady? What;s the latest in Chi? There's probably no better bad weather QB but they may run it a ton....
You're a Pats fan and you think they're going to run the ball?! Come hell or high water, Brady will be in the shotgun until the final gun sounds. No chance I sit Brady in the playoffs.anyone have the sack to bench Brady? What;s the latest in Chi? There's probably no better bad weather QB but they may run it a ton....
I don't recall that game being particularly windy. It is really howling here today—sustained winds at 30 gusting into the 40s. If this keeps up I doubt we see a pass go more than 15 yards in the air this afternoon.Last year Brady tossed 6 TD's in a game against TEN that was 59-0There was tons of snow and 20MPH winds.Doesn't take a sack to figure out that game is going to be low scoring.anyone have the sack to bench Brady?

The winds weren't a problem at all in the game last season.Go back to the unbeaten 2007 season to see an example of the weather besting Brady in Week 15 vs. the Jets. Not saying you bench Brady but it's not like he's impervious to struggling in horrible weather conditions.I don't recall that game being particularly windy.

Mid-30s and pouring rain here. What a crappy day....as much as I love the Bills, I'm glad I'm not going to this one.Forecast appears to be calling for mid-high 30s and rain, turning to snow in the evening.Clear skies right now here. I live about 5 minutes north of downtown; the Bills play about 20 minutes south of downtown.What's going on in Buffalo?
Just wondering where you guys heard the low winds info.....no wind to speak of right now here, but the stadium is always a different animal. It might be calm outside, but the winds swirl like crazy inside the stadium (as I'm sure you all know from watching games on TV anyway).I'm not saying that the "low wind" prediction is wrong, it's probably right, but it's just very hard to predict what the winds will be like inside the stadium as opposed to outside of it.That said, there's very little wind here at the moment.Doesn't sound too bad for the passing games, not that there is much to speak about outside of Steve Johnson or Ben Watson.Looks like about 36 in Buffalo and low winds but rain/snow mix.
Steve, Would you consider Ben Watson a shaky start then? He is top6 on FBG this week.Mid-30s and pouring rain here.

JS, I have the satellite up in the Jacoby Ford thread...fyiJacksonville folks - check in please..
The crap is coming thru there and here in Tampa right now.Jacksonville folks - check in please..

ESPN reports gusts of up to 50 mph in ChiIt is nasty in Northern IL. I just took my dog outside and she almost blew away. She is about the size of a football. The winds will cause havoc.
Radar linkI don't know. The "Hour-by-hour" forecast is only predicting a 60% chance of rain during the game itself, but we're an hour and a half out and it's showing no signs of stopping. Just a consistent medium-strong rain....not torrential downpour, but not a sprinkle either.Or Stevie Johnson, for that matter?Steve, Would you consider Ben Watson a shaky start then?
