The weather for tomorrow’s game

[Paul Costa]

Ugly day in Charm City. 75% of showers during the entire game according to accu weather. Not sure the weather helps either team. Who can create the most turnovers? 

[Robert James]

I think rain tends to even out the offenses, so it helps us. 

 

Beyond that know our team can create turnovers, starting with our QB . . . .

[NewEra]

Ehhhhh

[Big Turk]

Don't think it really matters unless it's also very windy.  People vastly overestimate the effect of rain. It doesn't have that much of an effect unless it is accompanied by wind. Rain by itself has really no much effect at all on the passing game.

I think Baltimore can handle some rain

 

not sure why Bills fans assume every opponent crumbles if the weather is adverse

 

[Mark Vader]

If it's showers then it's no big deal.

 

If it's rain then that's a different story.

There's a flood watch in Baltimore until Monday morning.   It's going to be more than showers...

 

Tomorrow 09/09

 100% / 0.89 in

Rain likely. High 64F. Winds ENE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near an inch. Locally heavy rainfall possible.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what the title of this thread is trying to say

Just looked at the radar. There's a chance this system might move through prior to kick off, but it's moving very slow.

Really ? How about the grass does the rain has  any affect on that ? ( and I’m not talking about helping grass grow) 

[zow2]

About to drive up to Walmart to buy a decent poncho and then head to stadium lot.  It’s ugly here. Steady rain, chilly and will be windy by afternoon.  Rain supposed to be consistent all day.

You never played with a wet ball, huh?

[RaoulDuke79]

Hooray rain.....kids soccer game was canceled. Now I can watch the game. Go Bills. Peterman loves the rain. It's the beautiful San Diego weather that gives him fits.

[RPbillsfan]

Weather forecast for Baltimore is constant rain thru 10:00 PM tonight.

 

Gonna be wet, possibly muddy and that may lead to the possession passing game having the advantage.  

 

Thats TS tends to make me feel better about the Bills chances.

[Charlottebillsfan2]

Let it rain. Shady is about to get loose.

I have. Wind plays a far bigger factor than rain.

A wet ball definitely effects the game.

Ive played played plenty of games in the rain.

 

The grass is wet so you can’t cut on it as quickly so the speed of the game is slower.

 

The wet ball is easier to drop, fumble and slip through your hands.  That leads to turnovers. You also can’t throw as deep in rain.

 

Ever try to catch a punt or can’t a bomb in rain?  When you have rain drops, especially a decently hard rain, it just peppers your eye balls.  Makes it much harder to see and get to the ball.  I received punts and in rain games, I was told by my coaches that if I’m not directly under the ball, let it go.  They did not want me having to catch a wet ball on a wet surface while moving because it can easily be dropped.

 

Rain affects a game big time.  Our gameplan isn’t going to be the same as if it were 75 and sunny.

Been listening to the Ravens pregame show here in Bmore.  The analyst being interviewed says the Bills have zero chance today and especially given the weather.  Apparently Flacco and his big hands throws great in the rain. He says the Ravens have gotten better since the end of last season and Bills have gotten worse. And Since Bills are predicted to have fewest wins in the NFL, that’s another reason why Buf must suck.  So there ya go.  Keep raining and count us out.

Just looked at the forecast...did not realize its not supposed to be rain, more like a monsoon with up to 3 inches of rain. 

 

Yeah i agree that will make a difference....poor Peterman...last game was in a whiteout and now this one is in a monsoon.

[jimmy10]

Put on your big girl pants, a good poncho, and get out there!

Technically the last game was in Jacksonville. Cool but nothing approaching a whiteout.

[Paul Costa]

Chris Ivory’s going to play a big role today getting some tough yards when it counts. Ravens D going to be all over Shady. Especially if it’s hard to cut because of slippery conditions.

Well I meant the last game for Peterman.

I think the rain will clear out before game time.
