SD win was impressive last week but weather had plenty to do with it

I went and looked at the average highs in Seattle during football season, coming up with 56.75 degrees. Seattle traveled to San Diego last weekend & watched the game, the field temperature was ~120 degrees. That's more than double the average Seattle regular season temperature & obviously put Seattle at a great disadvantage being from a much cooler climate. The Chargers also went ahead during the hottest part of the day & then no one did as much in the second half.

So just to be clear here, last week was a extreme weather scenario that really favored San Diego as the warm weather team.

correct, we need every possible non football element in our favor as well

Looks like 80% chance of rain in Buffalo on Sunday with 15-20 mph winds. I think that could favor the Bills.

Frank Reich is returning to the Ralph as Chargers' OC. Hopefully his unit will have to comeback from 32 points down.

I agree, but I watched the game yesterday on NFL Rewind and they looked damn good. They dodged a lot of bullets though as they committed a ton of penalties. Rivers though, holy ****. I keep forgetting how good he is. He is by far the best QB we'll see until Brady and he is hot right now. We are going to have a tough time covering their TEs as well. One thing we have going is that Matthews is injured so their running game will struggle, so we should be able to get away with concentrating on the passing game.

Can't wait. Huge test.

Lets hope for a blizzard Sunday.

we've made no apologies for beating teams because of bad weather that favors us.
it's part of the game.

lol...I can't ever remember a game in San Diego being described as having the weather as a factor.
