I don't understand why people think Brady won't throw as much when it gets cold. The evidence doesn't support it.

And clearly, according to Colts fans, this wind will affect Brady far more than Manning. Because the evidence doesn't show pretty conclusively that the opposite is true or anything...

I agree, I think it is laughable listening to Colts fans talk about how the weather is going to effect the Pats more than the Colts. Based on what? Addais' first half of last game? Brady plays in the cold all the time (once winter rolls around...lol) Manning hardly ever does, and as another poster points out, its not like Mannign has a huge body of wrok showing he an play in bad weather.

I think if the wind is blowing, from a physics standpoint, that the person with the stronger arm, (thus creating more velocity), will be less effected by the wind. The difference could be marginal,(deep balls), but the advantage to stronger armed qb will be seen on quick outs to mid-ranged ball (less than 20 yards).
Agree that wind is the biggest factor against passing. But not as much for the ol' dink-and-dunk short game.
Most of the big plays in the Ice Bowl (Green Bay v. Dallas) were passing plays.
Don't ask me how you catch a ball in that weather. They just do. I remember Boy Hayes (in that game) running routes with his hands stuffed down inside the front of his pants. That was much colder than Foxboro v. the Titans, although that (4 degrees) was bad enough for most people.
