Uhh weather will be an issue Sunday

hmmm..

Cold and wet is worse than just cold.

If its going to rain, lets hope it gets warmer.
 
Yep 45 degrees with rain now. Miami should be able to handle that. Hell that's probably hot weather to the people up there. Miami is lucky too because the temperature stays under 33 degrees next Monday and onward.

Depends on how long the ground has been close to freezing and how heavy the downfall is. I live in Atlanta and in '94 it had been between 30 and 35 degrees for several days. That set up a 9 inch dump on Atlanta that stuck immediately at from 34 to 36 degrees. Around here we call it the 'Blizzard of '94', lol. Atlanta metro was paralyzed for several days. So, it's possible.

I remember that... thought it was 1993, though. Missed school for a week....I was a junior in high school and hitch hiked everywhere.
 
cold rain sucks as a fan.

As a player, probly only worried about a wet ball and turnovers.
 
cold rain doesnt help a rookie QB from florida.

just curious on your logic on this.

This is easy. Windy, bad weather games help the team that runs the ball better. The Bills are superior in running the ball esp. against the Dolphins spotty run defense. Plus, the Fins were having success throwing the ball the last few weeks and these forecasted weather conditions limit that part of the game...again, helping the Bills.

It does not help QB's from Texas either. It limits all QB's short of Tom Brady.

It helps nobody.

Just because you live there doesn't mean cold rain is a good factor.

Sure it does...for a team that can pound the rock. This should be very concerning.
 
spiller, jackson, miller and thomas all run for 4 yards per carry, or more. i would say spiller and jackson seem like they are head and shoulders above miller/thomas, because they run the ball more. So one would think, the OC for miami would gameplan to run the ball more in this game because of the weather. Also, miami is 22nd against the run. Buffalo is 26th...

You are right there....Buffalo has struggled vs. the run. However, being home will help them in that regard.

Spiller can house it anywhere on the field and Jackson is a tough guy to tackle. Mix in Lewis' legs...they can move it in these conditions.

Miami's passing game is hamstrung with the wild wind that is predicted. It can be impossible to throw in that stadium.
 
25 mph winds scare me. evenes the playing field with the 80% rain chance. however, with our short passing game we may still be ablre to throw the ballot guys like Clay and hartline over the middle. With bad footing I would be trying to get it to Clay short and look for the catch and run
