Possible Snow Storm event for Patriots vs Texans

20% chance of rain.

I have never seen such a shocked expression due to a 20% chance of rain!

Thankfully the game is in the evening so hopefully the temp will drop by then into the 40s. Last time they played us it was 59 degrees.

Maybe it's just me (and not a statistical analysis - just my gut feeling here); but this year's Pats doesnt seem all that BAD WEATHER DOMINANT like they were in the early 2000s when they got that rep.

In the few cold weather games they have had; I dont recall them outperforming anyone that greatly.

So, I am not so sure that snow would change the outcome much and might even be a detriment to the team. As an offensive powerhouse we might just be better off in a track meet on a clean field to see if they can match up.

Personally of course; I still like to see the snow. Football as it was meant to be.

If my subjective viewpoint is true (that they are not snow-dominant this year):
Not sure what the reason WHY would be either. If it is TB-how he throws (which I dont think has changed), or his receivers -how well these guys catch wet/cold balls (which is more likely), or just all-around mental toughness (which is IMO is likely biggest part).

That was my knock on this team way-back-when they were 3-3 (is they didnt seem as motivated to go 'full tilt/full-time' as it were and perservere through tough situations). They are much better now; but we'll see how it goes the next two weeks. They should beat any 2 of Texans-Ratbirds-Donkeys; but any given you know what.

I know. I had a moment of silliness.

In all seriousness, I did not like how the ball was flying out of people's hands vs SF.

Lets not forget that the last time we played in rain against the Niners we turned the ball over 4 times.

I think that had more to do with the vaunted top ranked SF Defense forcing turnovers than it had to do with rain.

Lets not forget that the last time we played in rain against the Niners we turned the ball over 4 times.

And they fumbled it 8 times only to have the ball bounce right back to them 7 times.

Because Game day weather have been very for the 2012 Patriots not their fault. Love the forecast for Denver...go Baltimore.

yes, not Pay-me-a-ton's kind of weather at all!

 

[Reckedtrek]

So... we might not get a "snow storm event"?

Guess we'll have to settle for just a sporting event.

As per weather channel the max for Sat in Denver is 20 and the min is 12 with a chance of snow.

Oh no!!! (whine) Now this weekend Peyton will get the needed experience playing in bad weather so as to beat us in the AFCCG (wracking sobs)

THere, I've gone over to the wimpy, whiney "I've got a bad feeling" side now

The NFL for this week only has created a new rule to allow Peyton FACEMASK Manning to wear whatever he wants to during the game against the Ravens. Dont be surprised if you see Manning wearing this

Man, look how cold he looks — and that was at 35º! What's great about the Denver forecast is that it's a pretty warm week, then, BAM, cold Saturday. So they won't get to practice in the cold. Granted the Ravens are coming from a warm place too, but they're built pretty well for it.

And not to forget the fact that the dance that RAY AXE LEWIS does increases his body temp by about 20 degrees that should keep him pretty warm when he intercepts 4 passes from forehead
