    Yes. Every other weather should be accounted for, sure. The only weather that will significantly affect the game is wind. NFL fields have heaters for snow and ice, so that usually doesn't affect things. QBs just wear gloves in rain and the slick ball may account for a couple drops. Only wind will make you alter your gameplay.

    It's bc Fitz identifies favorable matchups at the line of scrimmage. Maybe doesn't have all the physical tools to be elite in the passing game, but Fitz understands how to operate under or behind center. And... Fitz is a dangerous threat to tuck and run, sneaky good vision.... Just needs to slide.

    If it wasn't for your previous posts I might think you were joking. How about this, if Powell does not play and they win will you go away forever?

    95% of TGG hated Powell and wanted him cut in training camp. So when 95% of TGG says Ridley sucks I think that makes it almost certain Ridley goes for 150 yards on Sunday.

    Have you ever tried to catch a rock hard football when it's 12 degrees + wind chill? Or grip it and throw? There's a reason quarterbacks have their hands measured when they're at the combine.

    I'm not sure what the weather is supposed to be like tomorrow but I fully expect a lot of body catching if it's cold as fuck. Which actually hurts a ton too if it drills your bicep, but you can cradle it a lot easier with your arms when you can't necessarily feel your fingers.

    In normal temperatures we should wash this team to the tune of 34-17 on the hot streak we're on. With shit conditions in a frozen place, it's going to be tight. Punting could unfortunately play a big factor in tomorrow's game.

    Again, something that you can consider and account for, but will not significantly affect the gameplan. Tomorrow will not even be that cold. Should be be in the 30s, snow should be we done well before the game gets started. Weather should not be a concern for tomorrow's game.

    When you can't throw or catch as well I'd say that will affect the game plan.

    You're right though in that the conditions won't be that bad. We'll be playing during the warmest part of the day in the high 20s, low 30s. That's still pretty damn cold when these guys have been playing in the 60's all year.

    The good thing is that shitty conditions didn't seem to affect Fitzpatrick in the first Buffalo game. He didn't play great but he wasn't missing receivers as a result of the rain at least from what I can see.

    You should've said "no I've never tried to play the game in cold temperatures," by the way.

    Actually, I have. I grew up in Rochester, NY and played organized football for 10 years and did some coaching afterwards. I have never felt the need to prove who I am to people on the internet. So, yes, I have played and coached in very rough weather conditions and developed gameplans for rough weather conditions. I have played in everything from blizzards to 90 degree days.

    Thanks for reminding me why I stopped posting on this site.

    MVP SuperBowl winner Kurt Warner says hellro! Man had TINY hands. Hard to believe he could actually hold onto a football.

    It's not a death blow, but he's been a pretty big part of our offense during this win streak.....
