TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 19, 2014 i know Buffalo is having some awful weather, for example. which games are you downgrading players due to inclement weather? The game in Buffalo will be fine. The weekend is supposed to be good. There may be no fans there however. I live in the heart of this current storm, FYI.

ree10 0 Posted November 19, 2014 Would you use NYJ as a sneaky sleeper play due to the bad weather and the recent sucktitude of Kyle Orton? I picked em up as a desperation streaming play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thePRO 78 Posted November 19, 2014 I have the Bills and the Colts defense. Depending on the worst weather, I feel like starting that defense. Also would you upgrade Ivory? If weather is bad, it's gonna be ground and pound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted November 20, 2014 field will likely still be a mess though, no? cant imagine all that snow/ice/water can be good for it. I'm not sure there was a lot of snow in the stadium area. My family lives about 20 miles north of buffalo and they only got 2 inches. I heard the big snow was south of the city.

tigeru 65 Posted November 20, 2014 The stadium is south of the city though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 20, 2014 The stadium got slammed. They're offering pay plus tickets to the game for people who help. Heard about 500 people helped so far. I live about 15 minutes north of the stadium. At my house, there is no where left to throw the snow. Just to give you an idea of how much we got. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted November 20, 2014 There's already talk of delaying the game. Could we see another TNF (Tuesday) game?! A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that the time slot for Sunday's Jets-Bills game in Buffalo could be moved due to snow. Per PFT, the "potential window" for moving the game could span anywhere from Sunday night to Tuesday night. The Bills were unable to practice Wednesday, and it remains to be seen whether they'll be able to do so on Thursday or Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 931 Posted November 20, 2014 They should at least delay it one day. It's not safe for all of those people to be traveling to it. It's supposed to be around 50 and rainy over the weekend. Should get rid of most of it, although flooding might be a MAJOR issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 710 Posted November 20, 2014 Don't the honks on TV always say that bad weather benefits the offense, because they know where the plays are going? Kickers I can see downgrading but other that that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hood 9 Posted November 20, 2014 Don't the honks on TV always say that bad weather benefits the offense, because they know where the plays are going? Kickers I can see downgrading but other that that.... Yes. Snow/ice is often a big advantage to offense/ returns team. See Shady's snow game last year. WR's making double moves cause DB's to slip leading to wide open long passes too. Steady wind 20+ mph is what kills an offense. Also heavy rain all game can make the ball too slick to throw/hold when they run out of new balls to switch in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure one of the Pats fans on the board will know this, wasn't there a horrible snowstorm a few years ago and Brady ended up throwing like 5 TDs in the first half?

Not a Pats fan but I remember that game. It was against the Titans and Brady went friggen off. If I remember correctly though, most of the snow had already fallen or it was dying down during the game. The field was definitely full of snow though.

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted November 20, 2014 This game will be getting moved. The question is when (Monday, Tuesday?) and where (Detroit, Pittsburgh, New Jersey?). Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 16m16 minutes ago Forget about Sun in Buffalo. Bills “will be hard pressed to get stadium ready for the next home game (Sun. Nov. 30 vs Browns)", per source.

Fozapd 8 Posted November 20, 2014 The question I have is what will fanduel do if the game is moved to Tuesday? Extended the contest or give zeros to the players. The college game last night didn't sound like a definite wait until game is played answer. I switched Watkins out of my lineup due to the uncertainty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted November 22, 2014 The contests are run through a particular day. If your tournament runs through Monday night, the game will be included.

stonewall 647 Posted November 22, 2014 How much will the weather affect the passing games in Chicago? One never really knows.....but one must take it into consideration when making final roster decisions. Again, Bears/Bucs and Seahawks/Zona looks to be actively raining and gusty. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.8500262820005&lon=-87.65004892899964&site=all&smap=1#.VG_5izTF_Ak http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.6062078760005&lon=-122.33206612699968&site=all&smap=1#.VHAGejTF_Ak Gotta keep an eye on the Giant/Cowboy game Sunday night. Right now, they have the rain coming in at 10 pm or after, but if that changes it could cause some issues. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.71426859000047&lon=-74.00596844899962&site=all&smap=1#.VHAG4TTF_Ak Fortunately, Foxboro looks to be in the clear at this time.

TennisMenace 156 Posted November 22, 2014 I agree that we should keep one eye on the weather forecasts because heavy rain and wind is not something NORMAL. for example, do you honestly think Tampa bay will light it up passing against da bears in 25 mph winds and a good rain? Some experts are touting Mccown and his receivers, but I'm not so sure mccown can throw well in those kind of conditions. And what about kickers in those conditions? Dome stadiums at least take that factor out, but I guess that is why we love this hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
