Nasty Boston Weather

[chrisfarley]

50% chance of snow, 43 degress high but moving down to 29 during the night with a wintry mix of rain and snow, UGH!!!!

Of course, that is where it stands today on the weather channel but things could change for the better or for the worse. 

Maybe the colts needs to pump some snow in with a snow maker on the outdoor field at Eagle Creek.  And then mix some sleet and rain in, and then have a life-size dummy of Tom Brady to punish through the blistery weather re-creation.

Maybe it's just me, but the weather doesn't worry me as much now that we have Andrew compared to the Peyton era.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Looks like the precip isn't supposed to start until well after the game.

[bavanlan]

It's going to be single digits or sub zero all week in Indy. Those conditions sound tropical.

Why?  When has Luck played well in bad weather?

 

(It's an honest question I can't think of any bad weather games Luck has played in other than the cold during last year's divsional playoff game).

Ha, good point.  Well we have AV too.  Wait a minute, has he played good in bad weather yet?

We will deal with the rain primarily. Let's keep in mind that pass rushers and their footing to get after Luck or Brady will be affected just as much with the rain.

 

We will see how it goes.

 

If anything, it will force the Pats to run even more than before and maybe the Colts too.

I don't really think I feel that way because Andrew has played well in bad weather (I agree with you, can't really think of a bad weather game we played with him) but it's more of all the years agonizing watching weather forecast when we had Peyton. It just seemed liked the weather really affected how our team played back then.  

[chrisfarley]

I hope Bill Belichick doesn't pull out "Cheat-Cleats" or something illegal to gain an edge on us.

Week 17 was in a monsoon and on grass.

I agree.  Maybe it's Luck's stronger arm or something, but I don't worry as much about the weather

[Draztik]

I remember hearing on espn Luck was 3-0 in sub 30 degrees or 40 degrees can't remember.

[BOTT]

Long time till Sunday. I don't know if it's true, but weather forecasts tend to change.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Sounds like football weather!!

Why do people call that football weather?

Wasn't the cinci and KC game last year cold games? Luck played pretty well in both.

[chrisfarley]

Luck can run, Brady not so much.  Brady has a lot of weapons so maybe that doesn't matter, but if AL has some good cleats on, I like him to run a little bit Sunday.  Crossing my fingers that someday Brady will slow down and BB's brain will slow down (and Sunday is the day)! 

[Archer]

Not worried about the weather.  Whatever bad weather the Colts play in, the Patriots have to play in too.  Can't imagine either Luck or Brady letting it derail them.

[PotatoHead]

Agreed , way too soon to predict the weather for Sunday.

[James Harden]

Game in the Storm! 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Because its fun to play in! Tough weather for tough men!

[sfergson727]

The rain will help hide Brady's tears when he loses control of the game and get's his rear end kicked.

[Bleedin Blue]

Boom should practice running with a wet ball.  He had trouble holding onto a dry ball.

A story I read said Luck is now 5-1 in games played in temps below 40 degrees.     Peyton was very sub-500.

Have you not noticed the weather around Indy the past week?

[ColtStrong]

It's 5 days away. Things can change.

I hate when weather makes games sloppy. I wouldn't be upset if every game was played inside.

[bababooey]

Luck is 5-1 in games where gametime temperature is below 40 degrees.

 

Edit: apologies for not reading 4 posts above me.

I don't think Brady has more weapons than Luck. Aside from Gronk, would you strongly take any of NE's skill players over the Colts skill players?

Pretty much every running back.

I think it has a lot to do with Luck being a great football player and great QB.  Peyton was a great QB.  Peyton was all about precision & timing which weather can affect.  Luck is a linebacker playing QB, so I worry less about the weather with him. 

[Larry Horseman]

Pretty much every running back.

 

That's a bit of an overstatement. For depth, yes. Starting, not so sure. I don't think Gray, Blount, and White are a better fit for this offense than Boom? I'd like to have Vereen and perhaps Boldin (although he's a stud ST more than RB) on the roster but again, not so sure in a starting role. I don't view any of the Pats RBs as that strong (or the Colts for that matter). Obviously the Colts are down to a two headed run game with Boom and Tipton--they have both been effective.

I guess. It's just funny people always say that when the best players came from the south and California.

[JColts72]

Have to Man-Up and stop being so worried about if it will rain or snow-I mean this is NFL Football. Want to beat the #1 seed Pats  and play in the SuperBowl just have to do it without excuses.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I kind of like it! Loved playing in it!

[JustAColtsFan]

No use worrying about what we can't control!  Besides it was colder in Denver and raining by the end of the game ;)

[sb2001]

I hope Bill Belichick doesn't pull out "Cheat-Cleats" or something illegal to gain an edge on us.

You can count on that more than the weather!

[Dark Superman]

Let Andre loose..

Let him rush for a 100..

[furi0usbee]

I was at the Ravens game and the weather was supposed to be in the high teens with windchill at like 7. But there was almost no wind to speak of. My feet were freezing with two thick pair wool socks and another soft pair under those, but since nobody sat throughout the game and you just stood, you had room to move around and keep your feet warm. The temp last I checked for Sunday is going to be much better than the Ravens game. Was snowing in South Eastern MA today a bit, but nothing too bad. For home playoff games, I prefer snow, ice, wind and rain if I can get it!
