Game Day Weather Thread

"There was a 100 percent chance of rain last week, and the only water I saw was on the Gatorade table. It is what it is. We’ve got to be ready for whatever it is.” - Bill

He's right - they were predicting rain for the Jets game and at kickoff there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

 

[RobertWeathers]

The coldest game the Chargers played in this year was 37 degrees, which they won, according to a radio story I heard.

Update on the weather, 40% chance of snow.. accumulation of <1", with a high of 31 degrees. wind 10 MPH...

Snow baby snow....

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Regardless of whether it snows, it’s going to be cold and even colder if you throw in the wind chill....that’s going to effect their passing game.

LET IT SNOW
LET IT SNOW
LET IS SNOW...

 

[maineman209]

Current Intellicast/WeatherUnderground projection (7:00am Tuesday):

Partly to mostly sunny at kickoff with temps around 30f.

Winds out of the North under 10 mph.

Snow holding off until around the end of the game or later, with a 50-50 chance of 1"-3" overnight thru the Monday morning commute.

I'll start to give any credibility to the forecasts sometime on Saturday and won't believe them until Sunday morning.

I don't think 30 degree weather with a few snow flurries in the air will bother NFL players who've been playing in all sorts of weather all their lives...but three to five inches falling, with maybe a little sleet worked in, and temps in the 20's? Well, that's what Brewski used to call "Patriot Weather."

 

[Brewskies]

The team shouldn't need bad weather to win. Bad weather is really bad for the fans regardless of the degree of bad.

I have zero expectation this season. We have Brady and BB. We have a team that got this far. I am with them.

Go Pats

Heck, "30 is kind of cold"? 50, even 60 is cold (coming to you from beautiful Chula Vista, CA (San Diego County)).

My wife is born and raised in FL and we just moved back to Connecticut (where I’m from) six months ago and 50 is still cold for her.

 

[203Pat]

He’s right of course. The most famous one of all, the Snow Bowl, was forecasted on game day to be 1-3 inches tops. Not the near whiteout conditions that actually happened.

I can’t believe that was 17 years ago. Where does the time go? And to this day I still can’t believe Vinitieri made the 45 yarder to tie it. The most cluch and shocking field goal of my life.

I’ll never forget I was about 14 watching the game at my best friends house right down the street and going crazy went Walt Coleman made the call that it was incomplete. Amazing that I was a kid at the beginning of Brady’s run and now I’m a married 31 year old man.

 

[goheels22002]

They don't have any linebackers.

My spidey sense tells me we are going 1990 Giants on their azzes.

They played safeties as linebackers and blitzed them against Lamar Jackson who couldn't read the defense. Master Brady will pick these guys apart if they try that nonsense, particular up the seams with Gronk. Otherwise, I expect a power running attack with all three backs reading Develin blocks similar to what we saw against the Buffalo Bills. Watch for Cordarelle Patterson and Julian Edelman to have success with the Jet sweep.

The place where Jackson had success passing in the 4th quarter was down the sidelines against 3rd string safeties who were put on an island. Hogan should have some opportunities on hitch and go routes.

 

[Clonamery]

...a married 31 year (old man).

Yup, marriage will do that.

 

[everlong]

The Chargers rely on their pass rush and aggressiveness on defense. Snow slows down the rush and uses their aggressiveness against them. Spread them out and with Brady getting time to pick a receiver their chances only go up. I hope it happens but the weathermen suck.

We also "shouldn't need" Russell Wilson throwing a ball into Malcolm Butlers arms at the goal line or Matt Ryan choking and taking a sack in FG range in the closing minutes of regulation to win...but, I'll take a win no matter how it comes. In this case, crappy weather could be the difference and I'm not going to ask for anything else.

You’re crazy I love going to bad weather games. Went to the Jags game against Byron Leftwich where a blizzard rolled through at half time. Went to that Titans playoff game against McNair where it was 7 degrees. Went to the game against Buffalo where Blount ran all over the Bills in pouring rain at 38 degrees. Some of my favorite of the 50ish games I’ve been to.

 

[maineman209]

Yeah. Sitting in the stands watching the game and suddenly getting a dave spritz is the worst.

BTW - Am I the only one who didn't know that Nic Cage started out as a weather man?

 

[Belichick8384]

Found this tidbit:
According to ESPN Stats & Information research, the Chargers are 5-4 since 2012 in games in which the temperature at game time is between 20 to 45 degrees.

Ahh I was waiting for this to appear in this thread at some point. I wonder how many of those are under 32° and what the record is in that weather

Yeah - there is a big difference between 44 and 21 degrees and it says nothing about wind and wind chill.

Snow for a game isn't bad (although the driving can be). Rain, particularly rain in the cold, absolutely sucks.

PFR has temperature data now but only for this year it seems. They lost in Chicago 15-6 when it was 29 degrees on SNF. They beat Denver in Denver 23-20 when it was 25 degrees.

EDIT LOL wrong LA team that was the Rams. The Chargers beat the Chiefs in KC with game temp 39 degrees- that’s their only game under 40 so far in 2018-19.
