My weatherbug says 80% btw :cp:

[BillsWin]

There might be a chance then. Our run offense is pretty darn good and while they're run defense is ranked high, I cant help but think that is because teams need to go through the air to keep up with Brees and co. and our run defense is real good, while theyre run offense is hurting and un tested.

Weve got a shot. Please mother nature... be kind and do your worst.

Actually their run defense is allowing just 2.7 yards a carry, tied for 4th in the NFL

[WeAreArthurMoates]

Sorry, but there's not going to be 80% of rain. Going by buffalonews.com weather report (which I always use for games cause it's spot on) says a slim chance of showers. However, there will be wind and we need that more than rain.

I still think thats due to the fact that teams have to go through the air on them. :idunno:

[trapezeus]

i'll take whatever weather other than the weather last weekend.

I'm guessing the weather gods can't drop two feet of snow on us this sunday, can they?

[M]

OK, but Trent's not that good in the elements either, is he?? Or we just going on the fact that we have a good ground game?

[Ebenezer]

bring on the rain!

Fred Jackson in.

The guy who tore up Philly last week for NO, out.

YEAH! Don Paul is always right! :rolleyes:

and luckily we're not playing in Buffalo

Miami in the snow in 2007, Denver in the freezing cold and slick surface.

The game that everyone says he sucked in weather wise was Cleveland. But, lets face it. Noone could throw in that weather and he put the team in position to win at the end. Just bad playcalling.

[Meathead]

its thursday. it could say 100% chance of nuclear winter and it could still be a perfect day on sunday

[WeAreArthurMoates]

YEAH! Don Paul is always right! :rolleyes:

Well seeing that the Buff news, Wben, the Weather Channel, WIVB are all calling for a slim chancer of a spot shower. Unlike that crappy site which says 80%, sorry got to go with the other 5 sites.

Weather Underground is always used by golf courses, if that means anything.

Players get injured in the rain. :cynic:

I gues Poz is just realllly unlucky

[mybills]

very. :ill:

[mysticsoto]

I'd love to have Lynch running if it were going to rain...you try and tackle the beast when he's wet and slippery and bulldozing you. Still think we need to consider using McIntrye this game to spell Jackson!

[DynaPaul]

Ack! Gonna have to bring a poncho or something to the game.

ugghh...I hate rain games. :ill:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Forget rain. Rain favors the offense because it is easier for defenders to slip and loose their feet.

What we all have to hope for is WIND. At least 20 mph.

Wind will mess with even the best passing game and, if it is strong enough, it doesn't matter what kind of arm a QB has (I once saw Joe Namath throw a ball 40 yards into the wind at The Ralph and have it blown 20 yards almost straight back towards the line of scrimmage). If the wind is strong enough, it will negate the passing game whether a team is going with the wind or against it. And, there have been some really windy games at The Ralph in late September and October over the years.

I know the Saints have done a good job of stopping the run so far this season, but I would rather see the Bills in a duel of running games with the Saints than in a duel of passing games. Trent Edwards may drive Bills fans crazy with his short passing, but I'd rather see him and Brees being forced to dink-and-dunk all game long than see Brees being able to throw the ball anywhere he wants on the field.

So, pray for a nice stiff breeze to being blowing across Lake Erie on Sunday afternoon!

[mybills]

Let me ask you this, LtBF. If this is the team we have to beat to prove that we have a legit team, and the wind helps us win, does that mean we're still a legit team?

[Captain gameboy]

It isn't the chance of rain, the forecast must be looked at in total, and discounted by hours to go.

Best chance is for some showers, but very little rain, with winds 10-15mph.

I'm guessing not much of a factor at all.

[mysticsoto]

So far this is what NOAA says for Orchard Park:

Sunday: A chance of showers, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 70. Southwest wind between 11 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

So...we get rained on during our tailgate...then it's nice for kickoff? Hmmm....

[BillsWin]

The Bills will win. Have faith Billievers.

WTF! It rains when we don't want it to, during our tailgate. But then it's nice for the whole game? :ill:

This weather is going to be weird tomorrow. Is it going to be shorts weather or wind pants? hmmm....

[Joe Fo Sho]

Wait, wait, wait... You guys are rooting for a bad weather game? I understand some of the logic behind it, it'll slow down Brees, Bills should be able to run on the Saints Def, yadda yadda yadda.

What is the Bills record in bad weather games? Even just cold games? More importantly, when has Edwards won in bad weather games in his lifetime?

I know, I know, he outplayed Cutler in Denver once, but I can remember several games where we lost because of the weather (NE, CLE, CLE...) but I don't think Trents strong suit is playing the cold/rain/snow.

I want a fair weather game, where we would still be able to run the ball down the Saints throat. We need to take a page from Miami and try to do to the Saints what they did to the Colts. I think if we hold the ball for 45 minutes, there's no way Brees can do what Manning and the Colts did.

and as of right now it looks like the rain will be constant all through the tailgating then start to let up just in time for the sun to be out at kickoff

:lolpoint: tailgaters

[Meathead]

so far trent has completely blown monkey ass gonads in the rain a/o wind

keep your fingers crossed that all the off season conditioning will allow him to throw something other than the powderpuff darts hes had blown all over kingdom come in past bad weather games

[Meathead]

*actually throwing into the wind has nothing to do with strength, its all mechanics, so hopefully avp or SOMEBODY has worked with him on that to get the ball to slice thru the wind and precip better

Sunday will start with showers and we should see a break in the rain during the afternoon and that means gametime for the Bills. It will be a breezy day with winds blowing up to 20 mph.

So is it going to be a drizzle for the whole day? That's not too bad....

[Billz_fan]

New rainfall less than a tenth of an inch ? :laughter:

I would sweat that walking from the parking lot to my seat :D

[mysticsoto]

Last update:


Today: A chance of showers, mainly before 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 68. Southwest wind between 10 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

[Tatonka]

so it is going to rain part of the day.. probably long enough for the bills to get the lead, then it will stop in the 2nd half and allow drew brees to throw for 4 tds in the second half.

[christhebillsfan783]

now 30% chance of rain according to weather.com

[mybills]

It's raining here today, but Falcons can fly in the rain. :snicker:
