Calvin plays inside just FYI. Good luck with the rest.sammy8887 said:
Thanks! Should have known that, lol...
The Over Under has been reduced by 4 points since the opening line for Chi and Buff games.
Um really? Winds about 20mph? I think they will have even more of an excuse to run the rock all day.
I think the only players significantly affected by 20 mph winds are the kickers. Probably limits the deep ball, but no reason you can't have an effective passing game in that weather.
there is virtually no shot at snow (or any wintry precip) in NYC or DC. We will be on the east side of the low pressure circulation (warm side of the storm, southerly air flow)...Chi/buf probably a different story....pit mixed precip.
Correct. Even in Chicago there will be no effect since it will be out of there by game time. This storm is far from a lock and the computer models are all over the place. I was reading in some other threads that people were afraid of a Chicago Blizzard. That couldn't be further from the truth.Yes, it will be windy but will be overcast with temps in the 20s for kickoff.ace0927 said:
And you know this three days in advance because?
I studied meteorology
so why are you guys wrong so much?
Yeah, you probably should.
And did! A nice start to the weekend...Yeah, you probably should.
Thank you weather forecast (and unexpected M. Williams missed practice)...
Pittsburgh forecast for Sunday (as of now) - Light snow accumulation possible. Near steady temperature in the lower 30s. South winds 5 to 10 mph...becoming southwest 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.Shouldn't change the Steelers game plan much, if at all.
Thanks Cross. Im leaning Roeth over Cutler b/c there sounds like the possibility of much greater winds in Chicago. Cutler is due for a 4 INT game to begin with.
If you have two QBs facing potentially bad weather conditions and one of them is a future Hall of Famer I think the choice would be easy. Not trying to be glib but I think you have to go with Brady here in your situation.
I hope this is true. Snow is fun, rain is not. I know they replaced the sod in the middle of the field two weeks ago but a drenching rain would not lead to good field conditions.
Bench Brady? Over-think much?
I had tickets to that 8-0 game. My buddy and I were so excited to finally go to a Bills road game, and they ended up shutting down I-90 between Buffalo and Cleveland on that Friday or Saturday. We never made it....I still have the tickets.
Weather.com has mid-30s and a rain/snow mix for Sunday. Sounds more like the Bills/Giants week 17 debacle a few years ago. Absolute worst possible weather to go to a game...pouring rain all game with temperatures hovering just above freezing and the wind howling the whole time.The weather can change unpredictably at any moment, but it doesn't sound like a storm-to-end-all-storms here. Then again, no one predicted that the southern suburbs would get hit with 3 feet of snow last week. But then again (#2), I live 10 minutes away from the 3-feet-blizzard part of town and I could see my front lawn when I got home from work.
it's impossible to really predict.
about the best retort you can have here.
because if you have been following the trends in the computer models (all, US/UK/Canadian) you would know that the upper air/surface features dont support a snow event for anyone east of the appalachians
Yeah, I was at the mud bowl a few years ago against the Dolphins. Worst game I've ever seen.
I said he should start Brady.ratbast said:
Well yeah, it's Friday now not Tuesday.
And for anyone who doesn't know about our local geography, this is a recipe for significant lake effect snow. Soldiers Field is right on the lake on the southeast side of the Loop. That area is the most susceptible to lake effect snow because it's on the part of the Chicago lakeshore that catches a good portion of those winds out of the north and northeast.
I was actually supporting your statement. I would never bench Brady for Fits. That weather is looking rough though.
was that the one in england in the pouring rain? THAT was a MESS of a game.CrossEyed said:
bump rbs and don't start any wrs. bench brady/cutler for sure.
