my thoughts exactly. Alot of Vick owners (myself included) are going to be stuck with mere mortal production from the QB slot in the Super Bowl. I have Andre as well, so this has not been a joyous holiday thus far.this is awful.
Hopefully, Rodgers can brush off the affects of the concussion and put up at least average Rodger's stats. Weather in Green Bay looks great for late season football.my thoughts exactly.

I'm more worried about the tricky Joe Webb-at-WR play than anything right now (although anyone with Akers should be seeking out backups immediately). I picked up Lance Moore as Favre insurance in one of my leagues but I was already on board with benching the likes of Wayne and Nicks for Webb given their bad matchups and I'm not so keen on that idea now. Likely going to roll with Nicks - I have a bad feeling about the Colts in Oakland although I'm still starting Manning.My other league is somewhat more dire in that I have fewer viable options at receiver to slot in for Webb... those being Austin (who plays tonight), Woodhead and waiver wire fodder. I have Miles slotted back in but any additional intel on this storm will be welcome.Oh oh if this is true, I'm starting to get a little worried. We have any data with Vick playing in blizzard like conditions before?The latest from the local yocals....
After several days’ worth of computer model flip-flops, the big snowstorm possibility appeared likely.
On Christmas afternoon nearly all of the computer models were now suggesting snowfall of at least six inches for most of the area, with higher amounts closer to the shore.
The Philadelphia area is now expected to get eight to 12 inches, with a 30-percent chance of even more.
The heaviest snow should fall late Sunday afternoon and night (which includes the Eagles game). Near-blizzard conditions are possible at the peak of the storm, especially near the Jersey Shore.ETA: 5oyardfg owns this tread!
Warner couldn't run and played in a dome and in Arizona.Guys u can't bench Vick now. You want to spend them next 9 months kicking yourselves? Snow is different then rain odd this was gonna be a monsoon I'd say make other plans bit historically guys have done well in blizzards.<----- Vick aint leaving this guy's starting lineupThis is starting to give me flashback to Kurt Warner 08 @ NE Week 16 though: 6/18, 30yds
Good post, I was going to say the same. I live in Delaware, about 25 miles south of Philly and the local weather reports indicate near blizzard like conditions during the game with accumulation of 8-12" (conservative) and possibly 2-4" falling during the game.Wanted to give everyone an update:This thing is going to happen. I am thinking 10-15" for the Philadelphia area. The heaviest snow looks to fall between 5PM and Midnight IMO. Some Models have it snowing about 2-4 inches during the game itself! This will be the real deal. More later
Stick to Westerns dude. At least you weren't rude or anything.I would say your knowledge and ability need work. There isn't gonna be a blizzard in Philadelphia Sunday. Guaranteed.Could care less what weather.com says. This is my prediction based on my knowledge of weather and ability to read computer models.Weather.com states that there are "a few snow showers possible" for Sunday night, chance of percipitation at 30%. I wouldn't call these "blizzard conditions," lol.Would like to chime in here.Looking at the computer models it now appears that there is a chance that the game between the Eagles and the Vikings could be played in near blizzard conditions. This has been one of the craziest weather systems that I have ever followed. The models have been all over the place all week. Now that we are getting closer to the event, models are beginning to coverge on a snowier solution. The heaviest snow still might be NE of Philly, but this is now a real threat and people should be paying attention.
Wow dude your covered why chance Vick?Well apparently you guys were right on and the weather report I looked at last night went form calm and 6 mph winds to 20 mph winds with snow.So now I have to pick between Vick in a storm or Rivers.

I'd go with Rivers. I already blew my chance as my other choice @ QB was Big Ben. Of course everybody thought Brady would have a horrible game in similar conditions a couple of weeks ago and look what happened....Well apparently you guys were right on and the weather report I looked at last night went form calm and 6 mph winds to 20 mph winds with snow.So now I have to pick between Vick in a storm or Rivers.
OH MY GOD I THINK THIS COULD BE THE PERFECT STORMA big reason for this is that this is a very unique situation unlike most other storms we've seen through the years. This type of system involves the phasing of 3 seperate pieces of energy. One over the Gulf, another over the Midwest and a third in Canada. It requires the perfect timing of the phase to produce a major snowstorm. So in theory good timing=blizzard, bad timing= flat wave out to see. Timing is very key and will determine if the entire east coast sees this or if it's more of a PHL-BOS threat.

Huh? 20 inches of snow, if there is that much, and 20+mph winds is not a blizzard.:XI would say your knowledge and ability need work. There isn't gonna be a blizzard in Philadelphia Sunday.

This. The guy showed last week he didn't totally fall apart in extreme cold, but a major blizzard could be a different story -- slows down his running and is more prone to turn it over. Plus, the guy played in Alabama in college -- we're not exactly talking about Tom Brady or Bart Starr here. I just picked up RJennings and was going to sub him in for Bradshaw, but if by the time the Giants kick off at 4:15 things are looking really ugly in Philly, I might consider benching Webb.I'm more worried about the tricky Joe Webb-at-WR play than anything right now
Mother Nature Could Sack Eagles Game With Snowhttp://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/blogs/birds-nest/Eagles-Vikings-Snow-Fantasy-Football-112452099.htmlBump McCoy
For a kicker you gotta go with Buehler.This sucks...Akers or Buehler going tonight?I've plugged Akers in from Week 1 and have been satisfied.Not sure if I want to risk a snowstorm situation. My opponent has Vick.
Yeah...I think you're right. Was also considering Hartley but Buehler has been racking up points the past few weeks and they are playing ARIFor a kicker you gotta go with Buehler.This sucks...Akers or Buehler going tonight?I've plugged Akers in from Week 1 and have been satisfied.Not sure if I want to risk a snowstorm situation.

Eagles are fighting for the #2 seed. Pretty much what the Giants do at this point is irrelevant to the Eagles.Mother Nature Could Sack Eagles Game With Snowhttp://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/blogs/birds-nest/Eagles-Vikings-Snow-Fantasy-Football-112452099.htmlBump McCoy

How about 'Bump Jerome Harrison'?
10-20" inches isn't normal. This city freaks out in 3" of snow. Anything above 10" is apocalyptic.I still don't see how a few inches of snow is a blizzard. All the weather services are saying "snow flurries" perhaps accumulation of a few inches throughout the day, with temps around 30 degrees and wind from 10-20 mph.These are not blizzard conditions, not even close. These are late December conditions in phili. Anyone who is thinking of sitting Vick needs their head's examined quite carefully.
The closer to zero hour, the more accurate the calls should be.....................So why is it that yesterday some people in here were saying this storm can change quickly and Philly might get hit bad, and now talking about it like its definite. Cant it adjust again in the next 24 hours and mostly miss Philly as well?
Because yesterday the storm was still in its developmental stage (technically it is still developing now), but all of the features are on the map and everything is going as planned. Also, now that the storm is already in progress for some down south and the fact that it is almost here, (being for Philly tomorrow) time is not on your side if you want the storm to go away.So why is it that yesterday some people in here were saying this storm can change quickly and Philly might get hit bad, and now talking about it like its definite. Cant it adjust again in the next 24 hours and mostly miss Philly as well?
Just a thought....any chance this game doesn't get played? I know the league wouldn't cancel it for weather, but might the city?10-20" inches isn't normal. This city freaks out in 3" of snow. Anything above 10" is apocalyptic.
