Weather Forecast for Chiefs Game - ice/rain

[SHOWTIME15]

http://www.weather.com/weather/5day/l/USMA0146:1:US

Temp probably low to mid 30s

80% chance of ice/rain

10 MPH winds

Could be a sloppy game. I would think this benefits NE more as it could slow down the Chiefs pass rush.

 

[Kontradiction]

It benefits the team that can run the ball more, usually. I say "usually" because Tom Brady is on the team and he's the best "bad weather" quarterback of all time.

Weather forecasts a week out are dicey, but if it does turn out that way, it makes a functioning O-line all the more important as games played in this kind of weather are won and lost in the trenches. Unfortunately KC plays outside in all kinds of weather so that won't be the advantage it would have been over a dome team. Interestingly enough, none of the "final four" in the AFC are dome teams.

Grossssss.

The first thing that I thought about was Edelman cutting/planting. I hope it stays clear.

The first thing I thought of was the PSI being effected.....

They will probably measure them at the Pats game last weekend as it has to do with integrity or other such nonsense, but they did not measure it last week in Minnesota...

What a crock of happy horseshit..

Forecast this far out mean very little but, that would make for quite the game. You could tell AJ McCaron wasn't too experienced throwing in the rain, really shows how huge it is to have a veteran QB. Especially one great in bad weather and probably the best of all time.

I agree.

...and in the Red, Blue and Silver corner you have the greatest bad weather QB in NFL history.

With that said, Alex Smith has played in some soggy, sloppy games in SF. He knows what to do.

I was going to say that this is a problem for Alex Smith because of his tiny little hands, but apparently that was a myth?

Interestingly enough, he seems to have benefited enormously from the Brady/Manning ball prep procedure changes.

 

[BlueThunder]

If the Pats can stop the KC running game......they should win this matchup..

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Sure was hoping for a snow kinda game.

How's Steven Jackson in the slop? St. Louis isn't a tropical paradise.

Around 2002 , it was talked about brady also , small hands and all.

Forecast for Denver next Sunday: daytime high of 39, evening temps around 20 with 10% change of precipitation and winds 5 to 10 mph. Kickoff is 4:40 ET, which will be 2:40 local time. Sunset is 5:02 PM, so end of game temps might get into an area where Peyton isn't too comfortable. Should be dogfight.

hand the ball off or run it himself?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Both I guess.

If it's slippery it benefits the OL and the short passing game so the colder the better if it's going to be wet.
