Looks to be a nasty day for weather on the East Coast (1 Viewer)

[Muahahaha]

Well, the long anticipated bad weather for today on the East Coast looks to have materialized. Here in Northern Jersey (about 10 miles west of Giants Stadium) at 7:00am EST, we currently have a mix of freezing rain and snow coming down. Looks like it is most likely going to be hanging with us all day.

There are a number of people saying the weather won't matter. Well, there was similar weather last year on Week 15, particularly at Foxboro, MA. Brady went 14/27 for 140 and threw 0 TDs and 1 Int.

Here is a link to the Gamecenter for that game:

And here is a link to a story on ESPN describing the conditions as a combination of sleet, freezing rain and snow. The exact same conditions we are experiencing today:

Facing rain, wind and chilly gusts above 20 mph, New England relied on Laurence Maroney's rushing instead of Tom Brady's passing and beat the New York Jets 20-10 Sunday in the Spygate rematch to clinch home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

"When you have elements like this you want to play great defense and run the ball," Brady said.

Start your QBs and WRs playing in this weather with reservations.

By the way, I remember this so clearly because last year I played the Brady owner in the semis. He was a juggernaut until then. The weather basically gave me the championship.

I will not be making the same mistake he made.

... yep .... as of this post, it is freezing rain/sleet/snow hybrid here in NYC.

was a f_riggin' mess here Friday .... colder than a witches t!t yesterday ... and looking like a miserable Sunday.

tonight's Jints/Cats game will be greatly impacted, for sure.

Thanks for the update mate. It's just ticking over to Monday here in Australia and I'm planning on staying up all night to keep up to date on weather and injury reports. Getting one out of the way early might mean I could sneak a few hours sleep in before the 5am kickoffs!

Was leaning toward Cassel over Cutler at one stage this week, but now hearing first hand confirmation that it's horrible up in the North East I think I'll stick with the Broncos gunslinger.

i got burned last year by Brady week 15. would love to play cassel against an Ari DEF that has given up 31 passing TDs but this I am sitting cassel for cutler due to the weather. my opponent has Warner- let it rain, sleet, high winds and snow

guys with the Cassel/Cutler decision ...if the Chargers lose the early game to the Bucs, Denver clinches the AFC West. In that scenario, don't expect Cutler/Marshall/Royal/Scheffler to go all out. BTW, supposed to be close to 0 degrees in Denver, with the wind chill.Hopefully, the Broncs decide to step on the Bills throats, regardless of the Charger outcome ... but, i'm concerned about rolling with Cutler.

the TB/SD does not worry me. I think teams want to be playing their best come playoff time. Cutler is Denver's off. and I think he will bounce back from a bad week 15 game

hope you're right ... i am still rolling with Cutler, as my other option is Warner.started a thread about this Denver situation earlier this week, and expressed my concerns in a few threads as well ... just hate to be burned by a guy who might be on a warm bench come the third quarter ...LETS GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!btw, snowing at a pretty good clip here in NYC right now .... rain/sleet has stopped, and it actually warmed up a tad ....

 

[otb_lifer]

snow stopped, now back to sleet/freezing rain, with a temerature drop ...

seems like each time i step out for a smoke, the conditions change ...

regardless, it's gonna be nasty here all day/night. can't see the Jints/Cats being no more than a 13-10 type of game.

temper your expectations accordingly.

Would you consider a different kicker if you were relying on Carney in this weather? I could always pickup another kicker. BTW, I have Cutler in my championship game as well, and am concerned about the Broncos pulling their starters. I have Aaron Rodgers going against the Bears Monday night, but with the weather that may not be as good a matchup as it appears to be. I've played Cutler over Rodgers all year, I'm kindof hesitant to change now. I can't really see the Broncos resting their players yet, it's usually only the 1 and 2 seeds that do that, at least in week 16.
