I'm sorry, what?!wind gusts possibly reaching 70 mph?
There is concern about possible heavy rain, falling trees, building damage and gusts of up to 80 mph (120 kph), or possibly higher on exposed coasts.
Yes, the game is being played in Swansea.Are they playing on an exposed coast?
England uses miles.SS MagicMark said:70 mph or 70 kph (about 45 mph), if BBC is reporting it?
So dumb, that Goodell wants London to actually have their own NFL team. Takin' it to a new level of brilliance.Yeah, the London games are an awesome idea. Nice going Goodell, you dumb #####.
Gusts to 46 aren't "little" but it's still 3 hrs from gametime so I guess it could get better, but all indications are it will get worse.I've seen this story play out before time and time again. Potentially inclement weather forces fantasy owners to overthink it and sit their studs. Studs process to go off and have career games despite inclement weather and weather usually turns out not as bad as predicted. Not falling for it.
Blackmon and v Davis locked and loaded. I'd rather go down with the ship than watch them go off on my bench from me trying to be slick about a little rain and wind.
1% chance. Good luck with that.My prediction of a Jacksonville win seems a little more possible with the this game possibly turning into a slop fest.
I don't go out and outright predict a game on here very often but just really have a feeling about this one.
Wembley isn't the same as stadiums here stateside. Winds won't b as much a factor. Google images of it. It isn't wide open like stadiums here. It's more of a dome w a hole cut out of the top.Gusts to 46 aren't "little" but it's still 3 hrs from gametime so I guess it could get better, but all indications are it will get worse.I've seen this story play out before time and time again.

If I sit Dawson and he has "goes off" in those conditions then so be it.
Completely agree although I am currently undergoing some conflicted joy at the Lions being over for a game next year. I feel dirty.London games suck. Greedy nfl. Keep the league in the USA
The PIT/MIN game was a high scoring affair and their offenses are trash. Honestly, there likely just isn't enough data at this point to draw an concrete conclusions from. I probably wouldn't let the fact that it's in London play too large a role when deciding who to start/sit. Weather is a an entirely different issue, however.Do players typically perform worse when they play in London? I can't recall, but I would think the extended travel time, lack of an engaged crowd, etc. might affect stats somewhat. Just trying to figure out what to do with Cecil Shorts.

I'm sure the 49er players love traveling 12 plus hours to London for this one...I don't get all the UK game hate. Who cares? The game is still on at 1pm est and it's not like anyone is going to Jacksonville to watch a game anyway. The players seem to like it for the most part and they're the ones traveling, not the rest of us arm chair QBs.
