OMG!!! Weather (1 Viewer)

[BoltNlava]

Nothing seemed to be different as far as football was concerned.. anyone see games changed because of weather?

Prime example would be Cowboys v Redskins. Little happened in the passing game and the kickers were leaned-on heavily.

Cowboys barely passed the ball. That was about it

Jake Elliot missed 2 PATs.

It definitely affected the passing game in the ATL @ NYJ game, especially in the second half.

i honestly felt like that was a coaching decision and not a weather must.

this i saw ..but the out come says different. I see your point tho.

Didn't the ball just fall out of Rivers' hand while trying to throw yesterday?

Specific games from yesterday aside, I agree with your larger point in starting this thread. Seems like we have this discussion every year in TSP around November and December; the number of times weather has a dramatic impact on a game are very, very rare. And for the most part, it's not a reason to bench your stud. Offenses know where they are going, defenses have to react, you can still have big gainers in horrific weather.

But the rain was heavy and steady in a couple places, and coupled with wind, definitely affected playcalling as the games wore on yesterday.

I think he actually hit it out of his own hand with his other hand.

Was watching on RZ but seemed like Ryan dropped several snaps

4th quarter was borderline absurd. Ryan stopped wearing his offhand glove because all his gloves were soaked and they didn't have any left. He had a couple towels balled up under his jersey, looked pregnant, and would hold his hands in there until just before the snap.

It has been said by many ex nfl's that gloves suck in these conditions ...as per nfl channel all morning long...hands>>>>>gloves...duh.
