Weather expected to be a factor Sunday(maybe not)

[DKphin]

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- It's December in Western New York, and as the last week or two has proven, snow is a fact of life.

But for Sunday's game at Ralph Wilson Stadium, it will likely be rain -- not snow -- that will make the playing conditions difficult. The latest forecast calls for temperatures in the low-to-mid 50s with a 90 percent chance of rain.

Marrone
The Miami Dolphins might actually catch a break with the weather forecast, which is now warmer than previously anticipated. However, Bills coach Doug Marrone said Thursday that it's the wind -- not the temperature -- that can give opponents fits at the Ralph.

From what I am reading, the wind is only going to be 3-5 mph. Maybe things are just falling into place, but the forecast of rain could complicate things.

Weather for Sundays game in Buffalo

Here is the link:

States 51 degrees with a possibility of rain. Weather looks like it will cooperate for us. Even though we beat the Steelers in the snow, this is definitely a better forecast for the game. Hopefully it stays this way. Go Fins!!

We're a pass first team and Buffalo has excellent weapons in the running game. High winds could kill us. Lotsa quick slants please.

Nothing wrong with pointing what the Fins might have to overcome in order to win. SMH.
