Note, the 2-4 inches is predicted for the next 48 hours. A quarter to half an inch is predicted from now till sunset. Intermittent rain, occasionally heavy, but not a monsoon (ie KC vs SD first week).

Ya its lightly raining and expected to continue. Not a big deal but yet another strike against Steve Smith. So he'll probably go off today...

I would love to see a study on this. Does anyone know if one is available anywhere?

Weather report in Charlotte

From the article

Get ready for a very rainy day today, with much cooler weather. It could be a miserable day at Bank of America Stadium, for the Panthers-Bengals game - from a weather standpoint.

since both passing games stink already , its a nobrainer to sit all members of the passing game from both teams . . .

I live about 7 blocks from the stadium, it has been raining here since before 11.

Rain is the worst element of all to play in. Ask any former player..

My buddy in Charlotte said there is little wind. I find that to be more important a factor myself.

A light rain that leads to a slick field may help the passing game - much easier for a receiver to plant and cut when they know what direction they will go, as opposed to the defensive back reacting. Same holds true if there is a downpour and then clears up - advantage receiver, big time.However, if you are talking prolonged hard rain, ESPECIALLY if there is some wind, it hurts far more than it helps.

Do you know if this helps Jon Beasons tackle numbers in the rain or not?
