GoBills808 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Process said: I agree he'll be fine. Not worried. The point of this thread was to imply we are in trouble because Josh can't play in bad weather. If that was true we would have a problem at QB. But I don't think it is. Tom Brady doesn’t play as well in bad weather. Let’s not pretend every offense isn’t affected by rain and wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be fine. The weak KC defense should help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 If they delayed the start of the Raiders/Chargers game that was indoors for lightening strikes, this could be a late night at Arrowhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Weather forecasting has improved drastically over the past 20 years, but a forecast more than 3 days out is still not very reliable. Check back in a day or two and you'll have a forecast that's more likely to be accurate. There's no reason Allen can't handle rain or wind. He has a strong enough arm to get the ball where he wants it to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Einstein said: Eh. He really started playing well once the rain stopped. I recall he drove us down the field multiple times, but Houston had a good scheme using a shallow zone across the end zone to defend those drag routes that have been money. We settled for field goals. In the second half the Bills adjusted to hitting plays just outside the end zone and walking those in, a great fake dive and wide open Knox, and threw in some RPO. IMO elements had less to do with punching it in than adjustments made to counter how they were goaltending in the end zone.

BigDingus Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 6 hours ago, Process said: If Josh can't play in a little rain then reality is we don't have an elite QB. Yes it sucks that we may have to play in another crap weather game, but all teams have to deal with it. They need to figure it out. A lot of great QB's struggle in the rain... It doesn't speak to their skill or talent level at all. I love watching bad weather games on TV with OTHER teams, as it makes everything an unpredicatable mess. But after the drought, I've hated them when the Bills were involved. That "advantage" we used to have during the Kelly era was clearly not a thing anymore. All it does is make things more random & increase mistakes. Wind, a little drizzle, fog, etc. are fine. A huge rain or snow storm? Hell no. 3 hours ago, Mark Vader said: And he kept that pace up when it started raining again. When it started up again, it was just sprinkling. It was so light you could barely see it on TV, and it was sporadic. Compared to the first half when it was pouring & it was totally visible no matter how far the cameras panned out, he played WAY better after the downpour stopped. 1 hour ago, LeGOATski said: KC obviously needs to build a dome. Do the Great Lakes reach all the way to Missouri? That lake effect weather is really no joke 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 They are not just calling for a little rain--they are calling for a driving rain storm with the stuff coming down sideways! I still think it's too early to really know what will happen or when. Definitely keeping an eye on this, and hoping the weather doesn't impact the game.

hondo in seattle Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 First Bills game I'll see in person in 10+ years and I'm gonna be rained on. Figures. Good news...

HappyDays Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Bills have an elite run defense, Chiefs have possibly the worst run defense in the league. If heavy rain forces both teams to be run-first I like our odds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we played them in the rain, Pat could handle it and Josh struggled (similar to the Texans start). I really hope they come out prepared Note to self: go ahead and hate the messenger. 😂 JK, Virg, but this really is some *****y news. Thank you so much for bringing it to us. Please also go right ahead and shotgun that story out to us stating that as of noon today the world will be out of beer.

At least this is an away game, because I can't handle too much more pregame of Buffalo home games where we have constant commentary about wind, rain, whatever. If it's just wet, rainy... well, we just had that on Sunday and after the shaky first two throws, Josh was 20-27 and played pretty good. If it's a driving rain storm, all bets are off, and unfortunately we won't even know who the better team is after the game... it will basically just be whoever handles the slop better. Hopefully the forecast changes because I really want to see us against them square up. As others have mentioned, we do have a better run game than KC and a drastically better run defense, should it come down to that.

Yeah Saturday night or Sunday morning will give a lot closer of an indication to go by. Hopefully it won't be as bad as it looks as of now.
