I found a little plus in the schedule that I don't remember hearing about

[Mitchy moo]

What do these 3 teams have in common:

12	Sun, Nov 26	Jacksonville	Tickets		CBS		1:00 PM
13	Sun, Dec 3	San Diego	Tickets		CBS		1:00 PM
15	Sun, Dec 17	Miami	Tickets		CBS		1:00 PM

I'll give you a hint of where I am going with this, from 1971-2000 the average temperature for December @ The Buffalo Airport is: 29.8 degrees

http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/climatenormals/clim81/NYnorm.pdf

Average precipation for Dec: 3.80 inches = ~ 4 Feet of snow

Does anyone think that any of these teams is going to do well coming out of a warm climate against a good team with the #1 running back thus far w/ him getting #1 highest total of yards in any single game? Willis did that against the Jets and I will assure you the weather just sucked, 30 MPH winds and driving rains to slick the field.

The scheduling gods have shined upon us oh brothers and sister's!!!

The Jaguars and Chargers are built to play in the snow. I don't really think that'll help us much.

other than the first three division games and playing NE after the bye, our schedule is actually about as good as we could hope for.

Good point, but will that matter when Merriman is lurking, or when Stroud and Henderson are lurking? I like our team a lot and think we will compete in every game except for maybe the Bears game, but I think you are jumping the gun a bit. I like the enthusiasm though you always bring it and I appreciate it.

I thought so as well, we really couldn't of asked for much more.

Dont we have NE after their bye every year?

Weather moight be a factor for certain players, e.g., Marino, who wasn't worth a crap in bad weather, but I don't know how much of a factor it will be for the 3 teams listed.

At any rate, Culpepper can hardly suck more than he did a few weeks ago against us in Miami.

I dont think Pep will be starting by the time they play us again. Prepare for Joey Harrington.

Hopefully Juron will actually have the team pracitce outside when the cold starts. Mularkey always had the team practice indoors. You should practice where you play. Otherwise, wheres the advantage? Half our team is from warm weather schools. We need to toughen these boys up.

It wasn't too cold for JP playing in a dome in college in New Orleans. How will he react to playing in the cold?

He's been in Buffalo for a few years now so his body has adjusted to the climate change.

Most players in the NFL come from warm weather colleges and were born in the South. People's bodies change when they move to a different climate though.

If we moved down South for 3 years and got used to the 90 degree heat we wouldn't be able to handle 10 degrees like we do now because our body would change with the new climate we're used to.

Brett Farve was born and raised in LA and played college in Mississippi I believe. He spent his first year in the NFL in Atlanta and a dome too.

Farve is a great cold weather QB because after being traded to GB and getting used to that weather his body adjusted to it. The same with tons of other players.

You could have somebody who spent 20 years in Buffalo but got drafted by the Dolphins and played there for 5 years. He would have trouble with the cold because his body isn't used to it anymore.
