Fan in Chicago Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm not worried. 40 and some rain? No advantage to either team. I think wet weather favors the team that runs and kicks better. ok - that sounds better! So thats what this thread was all about - just something to make you feel better, therapy.

H2o Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If we lose it will be because the OL can't hold up against the KC defensive front. We're going to have to be able to get Kyle the protection he needs or it will lead to a lot of 3 and outs. Trying to keep up with Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis all day will be the key for the defense. I'm not too worried about their receiving corps like I have been other opponents we have faced.

Fan in Chicago Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Our offense isn't, but our defense is. Our D is. In fact, if it does rain, I expect Spikes' snap count to go up. But, our O with KO at the helm hasn't been tested enough in many situations to know one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 40 degrees and rain/snow mix? Now might be the perfect time to remind everyone I have two seats in the Van Miller Club I need to move for this weekend's game. The seats are covered and have the benefit of the radiant heaters. PM me if interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm trying not to use the word doomed but with this particular matchup, KC runs the ball effectively, doesn't turn the ball over, and doesn't depend on downfield passing to move the ball. I think they have an advantage in this weather unless something miraculously turned around during the bye week with our running game. Plus Alex smith has mobility in the pocket and can gain 1st downs with his legs; not the case with Orton. My point is that temps in the 40's and a little rain aren't really harsh conditions. Unless it's a downpour, I'm not concerned. If it is a downpour, Alex Smith possesses no magic to help himself in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Any chance the chiefs overlook us with their upcoming game against SEA on the horizon? Possible. This is the Chiefs second consecutive road game. They may be itching to get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) For simple reason is that in the early '90s, opponents abandoned the run to keep up with K-Gun. There was nothing about stopping the run in Marv's/Corey's defensive philosophy other than lip service. It finally turned with Wade. Marv changed his philosophy with the team around him, that's what made him a great coach. I was referring to the league philosophy 20+ years ago, it was always "run and stop the run", especially in cold weather. but you can spin it however you like...

K-9 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The only weather that has a significant effect on a game is wind......rain, cold, snow.....easier to play through than a windy day. Agree 100% with this. In fact I think the only real weather advantage a team has is Miami in September. 100 degrees and 90% humidity sap the hell out of teams. GO BILLS!!!

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Doesn't KC play in an outdoor stadium? Doesn't it get cold and snow? other then being on the road.,..... what advantage is there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm not worried. 40 and some rain? No advantage to either team. If these guys can't handle Fall weather, we're doomed. Agreed. They should be out practicing in it as that's been the weather here for the past several days anyway. Not much different in KC so it should not be to any teams advantage. Just win baby, No excuses!

nucci Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Any chance the chiefs overlook us with their upcoming game against SEA on the horizon? Possible. This is the Chiefs second consecutive road game. They may be itching to get home. Why would they? They are practicing and putting in a game plan for the Bills. They have another week to prepare for the Seahawks. Itching to get home? They can't get home any faster. They still have to play the full game and will get home at the same time regardless.

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 No way they overlook the Bills this week. This is a very important game for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clippers of Nfl Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 i'm surprised no one has mentioned the impact of daylight savings. the team will only have had a week to acclimate to that extra hour of sleep by kickoff. could be a real "x-factor."

This is the Chiefs second consecutive road game. They may be itching to get home. They probably will, I wonder if they will even show up for the game. They might even plan on Russell Wilson at QB... wouldn't that be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Chiefs second consecutive road game. They may be itching to get home. Chiefs played Jets at home last Sunday so it's not consecutive road games. By overlooking the Bills do you think the players will lineup Sunday and be thinking about Seattle? Edited November 4, 2014 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when the schedule came out players circled this game on the calendar. Playing the defending super bowl champions @ home next week is no big deal. Chiefs played Jets at home last Sunday so it's not consecutive road games You're correct, sorry for that oversight. I have no idea why I thought that game was in NY...my bad on that one.
