Past Snowy games (1 Viewer)

[W1cked]

I'm looking for a list of games played in similar bad snow and sleet type conditions and how players performed. Say like a boxscore for the 2001 playoff game between the Pats and Raiders.

I have some tough lineup choices and some of them are on the defensive side of the ball.

So if you can think of any games that were played in similar weather. Can you please list them.

Thanks in advance

Jets / Steelers in 2000 was a snowy game (believe it was a mid-December game)

packers/Broncos had a monday nighter in the snow. I think it was in 1983. packers produced a ton of offense if I remember but were kept out of the endzone but twice due to the weather. If memory serves the Broncos won 17 to 14, with all Bronco points coming as a direct result of turnovers.

Oakland played in Denver 2 or 3 years ago on either a Sunday or Monday night, and Ronald Curry and Jerry Porter just went off for huge games. People say snow limits scoring. I say the opposite. It favors the offense. Unless there's really high winds.

Snow will not be the factor here in N.E.The driving rain + occasional wind gusts will be the issue. All and all I don't think the conditions will be that bad.

Wind is the factor all accross the NorthEast today. I would not consider starting a kicker in any of those games. QBs are iffy. Still, I dont see how you can sit Brady for anyone.

Wind is what matters. Snow turning to rain can be too. Often after snow storms the weather is calm and not a factor. So the issue should be is the storm over or continuing. Todays games are during storms.

I remember that game, Curtis was a monster with 174 yards rushing.Box Score

Exactly. People, including the ESPN talking heads, keep focusing on the rain/snow. They are predicting sustained 25-35 mph winds in Foxboro, for instance. Anyone know how some of the stadiums involved handle the wind? I know some are better than others.

I agree with others that you can over-think it in these situations, but high winds and field goals don't mix. Gostkowski is my kicker in 3 leagues, so I'm strongly considering switching him in the leagues where it's allowed.

This is why I like Welker so much. Brady will throw quick hitters today and that is Welker's fortay.

I thought the wind gusts for the Monday night game in Balt were in the same range. I think you can use that as a point of reference.

Miami/Buffalo in the playoffs up in Buff in the early 90s...games were like 44-34 with the K Gun and Marino's Air Corps leading the way.

Well, technically it's his forte, but I digress.This isn't directed at your point, but I love the comic overreaction that happens in the Pool surrounding events like bad weather. Should be a fun afternoon of people whining about their studs going off when they benched them.
