Hat Trick Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Start your mudders....RB's should be gold in this game, and maybe defenses as well....although their also might be some fumbles, so I'd temper my expectations of McFadden do to that and his shoulder injury.

Big Score 1 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Strong winds, or just rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Strong winds, or just rain? Rain and more rain, its been raining for two days and its not supposed to stop until Monday. It's raining like mad here! 100% chance of rain tommorow and 90% chance for Sunday. It's gonna be a nasty game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) I live about 2 and a half hours from KC and although its been raining....the wind has been pretty calm. Its overcast and gloomy but I wouldn't say it has been storming. We were making jokes about this must be what it is like living in Seattle. http://www.wunderground.com/sports/NFL/hom...l?st=1221397200 Site says it only expects 14 mph winds so I don't think it will be all ground game.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 ahhhh....i guess i should temper my LJ expectations slightly this week on a slower track? i just picked up ronald curry off waivers after dropping dj hackett and was thinking of playing him as my 4th receiver cause im pretty thin there.....i should reconsider?

i_am_the_swammi Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Start your mudders....RB's should be gold in this game, and maybe defenses as well....although their also might be some fumbles, so I'd temper my expectations of McFadden do to that and his shoulder injury. if the field is super sloppy, why would RBs be gold? Wouldn't the slick conditions make it hard for them to make their cuts, and make it easier for them to be knocked off their feet? I never bought the "bad weather favors the RB" falacy. it favors no one. if its raining/muddy, I'm downgrading anyone from the Chiefs/Raiders game and mining for a better option.

I never bought the "bad weather favors the RB" falacy. it favors no one. if its raining/muddy, I'm downgrading anyone from the Chiefs/Raiders game and mining for a better option. I just tend to think that the rain hampers the passing attack, it should be balanced, but I'd favor a runner in such conditions. From the SEA vs. KC game in 1998 where rain took over the game and sloppy conditions: SEA KAN First downs 10 12 Rush-yards-TDs 26-73-0 42-131-1 Comp-Att-Yd-TD-INT 11-33-94-0-2 12-19-142-1-0 Sacked-yards 0-0 4-22 Net pass yards 94 120 Total yards 167 251 Fumbles-lost 3-2 5-5 Turnovers 4 5 Penalties-yards 12-88 5-48 9 turnovers in this game. SEA passing: 94 yards SEA rushing: 73 yards KC passing: 120 KC rushing: 131 Just saying It's probably best to temper expectations from both sides of the ball. Who knows what the weather will actually bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Stay safe Huddlers. My youngest son moved to KC in May. He wants me to go to the game but I don't think I will if it's going to be amphibian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) We were making jokes about this must be what it is like living in Seattle. We get four straight months of briefly interrupted drizzle, Four months of drizzle or sun (50/50), and four straight months of briefly interrupted sun. We have sagebrush desert with dry snow 100 miles to the east. You guys get more rain year in and year out. It's been 70+ and sunny for the last 14 days. Here is our upcoming forecast: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findwe...uSelect=WEATHER During the sunny days this is what I see from my home office: http://www.adamstinton.com/images/MountBaker-big.jpg These are the areas I spend if the winter/springs get too wet:: http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicc/cfiles2908.jpg http://www.richarduhlhorn.com/images/site_...oyd-Rd-view.jpg http://www.bentler.us/eastern-washington/s...-washington.jpg http://www.wenatcheehomefinder.net/images/...12_(Medium).jpg But should i start McFadden or no?

I am on the leeward side of the Cascades, so I get the sagebrush and juniper with dry snow. Our winters go from November 1st to May 1st which is a real drag. Summers are sure great though. We haven't had a cloudy day since May. Today I golfed in 86 degree weather with a view of 6 snow peaked volcanoes on just about every hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 No doubt. Would love to meet you HR. I am looking forward to the day! The son cancelled out on me (because he's a tasty morsel whipped). AND, I haven't had any Gates in a while. I'll definitely let you all know when the boy and I reschedule.
