Updated weather report for Sunday for Sunday night

[Stephen]

Looking like  wind gusts around 45 and heavy rain

Hello Jonathan Taylor…

[Four2itus]

Old school!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Everyone always thinks these games help the colts but they always turn soft in these games.

[IndyEric07]

Hines supposedly played in a hurricane college, so he has some experience in rainy/windy weather! I think it was the NC state/Irish game!

[GoColts8818]

Hopefully it goes better than this…

[SR711]

Looks like kicking games are going to nonexistent for both teams if those conditions hold up.

 

Would definitely anticipate a few turnovers between the two teams as well.

I think it’s going to be worse then that.

There weather statement says there could be power outages. There is a still a slight chance I think this game gets delayed until Monday.

The fact they are a dome team and every game in the division is usually good weather always shows up when they need to be physical.

Because of rain and wind?

 

No. Not happening

Yeah only lightning can really make this a bad weather game canceled.

I said there was a chance or power outages. Can’t play if that happens. Also says thunderstorms possible. They won’t play in a thunderstorm. We aren’t talking about a little rain or wind. They are calling it a cyclone.  With as much rain as they are expecting field could be unplayable. I assume it will stay covered until game time.

As Wentzszn said, it would be the power outage issues and then if lightning. Either that or the game will go late into the night on the EST

Good week to have JT on my fantasy team

From what I’ve seen in the past, the only things that stop NFL games weather-wise would be winds that reach the speeds of hurricanes or tornadoes, power outages, lightning, or hail. It would be interesting to see if the NFL has any official rules on the matter...

It seems some of the worst may be over by game time as far as the rain. I would think if field  conditions making it dangerous to play could also be a reason. I am not expecting this game to be moved. They don’t do that in the nfl unless it is necessary. But I do think there is a slight chance because it’s going to be really bad.

To be quite honest, I think the NFL is giddy about the weather. Tons of people tune in to watch horrible-weather football games because they’re increasingly rare in the dome-era of football and they’re usually wild with tons of turnovers and amazing plays in tough conditions. Add in that it’s a prime time game, and suddenly a SNF matchup between two injury-riddled, mediocre-record teams becomes must-see football.

@Lawrence Owen just saw you bring this topic up on TV?

Yea like the blizzard games

Metrics say to go for it on 4th and 12 from your own 30 when the wind is at 45 knots

They weren’t soft during that snow game in Buffalo.  Two years ago I think

Sometimes I think fanbases can be little soft.

Omaha

[Fluke_33]

misread 

[IrsaysArmy]

To be honest, In a weird way I’m excited for the possibility of this game becoming a mud bowl. Downpours. An Old school physical line up and pound the rock game. 
 

Itd be cooler if this wasn’t a must win game but I still think it’ll be exciting to see a game like that.

Well…as long as we win, yeah.

[Thunderbolt]

And no injuries.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I hope Wentz ankles are fully healed. Don’t need him hurting them again on a slick field. He is still taking them in practice.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lol this GIF. Players look like they were having fun.

Bad weather and muddy field leads to injuries. 

I hope not but got a bad feeling

[LiveAndLetAddai]

Just run the damn ball!  The Colts have 3 very capable backs to rotate, though JT needs the lion's share of touches though.

[Fisticuffs111]

Yeah, this game has had me worried about injuries. Especially potentially JT and the OL with the weather/how much we’ll be running.

Colts have played pretty soft in good weather lately as well. Need more “DAWGS”

[PeterBowman]

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like the winds will be dying down some by game time. Just periods of rain.
