zow2 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 My local weather source says showery Sun morning, then rain becomes steady in the afternoon. Hard to say if it will stay "steady" from 4:25pm through 7:30pm before it turns to Heavy rain. But one thing for sure. It will be wet and wild. The Bills/Eagles was a high scoring game in wet conditions, and last weekend the Ravens/Rams was up and down the field in the rain,,,,although it slowed down to a drizzle during the middle portion of that game.

Sundo91 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I'm making the trip north for this game. My first visit to the ralph this year. I'd rather it be snow instead of rain, but either way, i think it helps the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1981 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Ignoring for a moment what a team is "used to" and that JA arm is flat out stronger... DP is a more scheduled QB, less off script success JA is less scheduled QB, more off script success Therefore, I think messy conditions helps JA over DP.

JohnNord Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 4 hours ago, kkim0904 said: Weather definitely favors Buffalo more . I think the weather advantage of rain and wind combined does us more favor than 30 degree temperature. It is not cold as typical December winter. But rain with wind gust of 10-15 mph, wind chill will be around 35 degree. this is bad condition for indoor team to adopt. I also think that slinging the ball around in the rain in Philly will help their confidence. Dallas hasn’t been a great running team but they’ve been on fire since Dak has spread the ball around between Lamb, Cooks, and Ferguson. I think the passing game becomes tougher in the rain, especially without the experience that Buffalo has 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills/Eagles was a high scoring game in wet conditions, and last weekend the Ravens/Rams was up and down the field in the rain,,,,although it slowed down to a drizzle during the middle portion of that game. This is why I’m often hesitant about the weather argument. You’d assume a warmer weather team that plays indoors like LA would struggle in elements in Baltimore. But then ended up playing just fine. We also thought that all the weather talk (I wish it were colder) would psych out Miami last December. It appeared to have little impact on their performance on game day - though the temps were not actually that cold for Buffalo that night. So after all the “weather” talk on both sides, it’s possible this is a nothingburger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 They'll be leaving the warm, dry realm of Jerry world to head into the cold, wet, brutal conditions of Buffalo in December. With the way the weather gets this time of year in Western NY, the Cowboys might spend the holidays in Buffalo. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sounds like the kind of game I'm glad isn't the 1 game a year I attend. Should be a home field advantage for the team though, that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
