Average 18 mph winds with gusts higher than that, and a passer rating of 110.4 (70 percent completion rate). https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201911030buf.htm He also played well vs Denver in similar conditions. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201911240buf.htm The Rams game last year was also very windy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped keep his weight, high protein and gives you energy. Yeah energy density on a PBJ is solid, checks all the boxes for protein, carbs and fat. Just laughing to myself thinking that halftime for adult football players is more like my kiddos snack time than a solid strategy check for adjustments going into the back half.

That strong arm QBs can over power gusts. That's when you should run the ball or toss a lot of high percentage screens. Look at the old K gun games and you wont see Jimbo slaying the wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amazes me how fans misinterpret basic aerodynamics. Once a football leaves the quarterbacks hands, it is "in the atmosphere," and subjected to the same laws that all flying objects are. If a "strong armed" quarterback provides increased velocity at release, the ball will be subjected to those influences for less time, but the same influences. Works the same in aviation. Winds have the same effect on 777 as they do on a Cessna 172. Stronger arms, measured by release velocity, simply provide less time for those effects. One caveat. The spin rate of the football effects stability. Less stability results in greater ball wobble, and that subjects the ball to greater parasite drag as opposed to a tight spiral. Ergo, a tight spiral is less effected by that type of drag. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I agree, when conditions are like that it pretty much forces you to adjust the game plan to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
