Colts-Chiefs to get Terrible Weather....

[NewColtsFan]

Looks like our game will have the worst weather of any NFL game this weekend.

 

Near freezing rain is expected to hit the area Saturday and continue until late Sunday morning.

 

It's expected at some point that the freezing rain will turn to snow and that roughly a half foot will fall.

 

So, the grounds crew at Arrowhead will have to get the plows out Sunday morning...

 

Our guys will have to wear long underwear as they did last year....

 

Bottom line:   bundle up....   it's going to be COLD!!

Let's hope it messes up Charles

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Sounds like the weather'll be relatively fine if everything ends Sunday "morning". The game starts in the afternoon. Might affect some church services....otherwise it's just cold?

[HtownColt]

Still shouldn't be worse than that Buffalo game a couple years ago

[Narcosys]

It gets seriously cold there.  And the bad part is, half the stadium stays in the shade the entire day.  If you are on that side of the stadium i feel bad for you.  Dang near got frostbite on my toes.

[Nadine]

I hope travel is safe both ways. I really hate freezing rain

[MR. Blueblood]

KC in late December, who would've thought there could be bad weather?

 

I echo Nadine's statement.  Safe travel for all involved.

[ColtsSociety]

I just want to add that Andrew Luck has never played in the snow. FYi

[Smonroe]

How did that turn out?

JK. Injuries concern me more in a game like this, that win/loss.

[kansascolt]

We're on our way to kc. Weather is holding out so far. Just unpleasantly cold.

[Tark The Shark]

Sounds like it is going to be a low scoring game with a lot of carries from both teams.

[Creekside]

According to the Weather Channel the snow/rain through the night should be well over with by game time with game-time temps from 25-27....not that cold for the players...field will probably be clear but maybe slick.?

You would think but all the snow games lately have benefited the offense and left defenses spinning in their tracks

[CVDGxRAZE]

game forecast H: 25,F,,,,,L: 8,F,,,,,,,,,,,,snow and rain

[CVDGxRAZE]

so i think with the weather we have a huge chance of winning/////////

How did you come up with that conclusion :???:   What gives us the edge    Just wondering

[azcolt]

A guy with a strong arm who can throw tight spirals like Favre can thrive in snow. Luck is such a guy; Smith is not. Receivers have a huge advantage over dB's.

There's definitely that. Smith is smaller and has a weak arm, expect even more Charles.

Hopefully the defense can knock the ball out. *glances at Landry*

You mean the 'we quit on perfection to keep our stars safe, but put them out in a blzzard to pad some personal stats' game?

Bill Polian is a genius.

Just getting the team ready for the Super Bowl

Expand on that please PT. If you want to that is....

Game comes on CBS here in Virginia. If Samson Satele is starting at center I'm turning the TV to the Redskins game and watch Kirk Cousins

Hoping for a good game from cousins so he can keep working towards hopefully getting traded this offseason

I really want to see Luck play in snow. The Colts will probably keep it on the ground most of the game.

Oh goodie! Andrew can make snowmen and snow angels on the sideline while K.C. methodically runs the ball the length of the field.

[NewColtsFan]

The thought occurred to me the weather might not be much better or worse than what the team dealt with last year.   We played the Chiefs on the exact same week (16) last year...    

 

There was snow banks pushed off to the side of the field by the stands...    the field was somewhat iced over... at least, a little.

 

And the Chiefs still ran for roughly 350 yards on us that day.    I sure hope history does NOT repeat itself....   except for the part where we win, like we did last year!

 

Here's hoping....    

[buck_hunter21]

If we are gonna win this game we are going to have to run the ball well. Even more so if the weather/field is less than ideal.  

[chrisfarley]

weather men are always wrong!  hire some ladies.

[oldunclemark]

icy conditions may favor the Colts

 

Brown and T-Rich and largely straight ahead runner.....Charles has to go wide and catch the ball.

 

Andrew can run on his own better than the KC QB..

 

We have better kickers...

 

Could favor the Colts...but the score is going to be low

 

stealing this one means being the No. 3 seed instead of No. 4

[Coltsince4]

Colts will win tomorrow!! You heard it here!! Trust me!! If they don't make like you never read this then this will happen....

 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Oh goodie! Andrew can make snowmen and snow angels on the sideline while K.C. methodically runs the ball the length of the field.

Or, there could be QB impressions made in the snow all over the field from the KC defense sacking him.

This is going to be an ugly game if it's icy.  All comes down to who can handle the ball best

in the conditions.

GO COLTS - All day, every day!

[Susie Q]

I think the better thing to hope is no one else gets hurt in those weather conditions. The Colts don't need anymore injuries.

Just sayin..........the weather usually turns things around

[sfergson727]

Sounds like the team with the best running game will win!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

damn!

[kansascolt]

I can tell you that last year was nothing like this year. Was relatively decent last year. My car is completely frozen over tonight.

Good practice! Snow is expected in the Super Bowl!

[Hammer]

We were at the game last year and in the shade. I was more concerned about a different part of my anatomy getting frostbite. Those shaded, frozen, plastic seats didn't make for a very comfortable afternoon. I still can't believe we won that game.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Good practice! Snow is expected in the Super Bowl!

 

Right? I personally want Luck to get all the practice in the cold and snow that he can get. If/when we advance past the wild card, it'll either be to Denver or New England.

you're not very good at predictions
