michaelredd9 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) This is going to make for a lot of difficult lineup decisions. Severe rain and wind expected when Steelers visit Cleveland on Sunday Posted by Michael David Smith on September 7, 2018, 5:07 PM EDT https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ In Cleveland, a torrential downpour and high winds are expected on Sunday afternoon when the Steelers visit the Browns. Cleveland meteorologist Jeff Tanchak said it’s going to be miserable at FirstEnergy Stadium. “All day Sunday and Sunday night we are looking at continuous heavy rain. Winds will be gusting up to 40 mph at times,” Tanchak said. “I have not seen a worse weather forecast for a Browns game in the almost 16 years I have been here and that includes snow events. I have no idea how they will be able to play football or how people will be able to sit in that stadium and watch a game.” The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the weather forecast in Cleveland. If there is lightning in the area, the NFL will delay the game. Heavy rain and wind alone are usually not enough to cause a delay.

DanTheMan_5 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 So that’s why Bell didn’t report... I would temper expectations for the WRS AT A MINIMUM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think juju may be the one WR who could benefit from this. He can turn short passes into long gains. And with DBs sliding all over the place, he could have a big game. Without Bell I still see Big Ben passing quite a bit, and with AB getting doubled juju could be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 I'd be curious to see the results of a study of bad weather games. My guess is that quarterbacks have a lower completion percentage but more big plays due to defenders slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The titans defense is average. They improved their secondary but still lack a good pass rush. That said, it’s the Dolphins, so I think you’re probably going to get ok, yet unspectacular points from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWmaker Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Was checking my other options as I submitted J.Landry as a start in my lineup. Other choices were: Josh Gordon James Washington Hmmmmmmm......tough choice - go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) where I'm at, I don't hear it at all.

stevegrab Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I've got Landry and not even considering sitting him. Looking at weather now the heaviest rains will be south of Cleveland even south of me in Akron 30 miles south of the lake. Also not seeing any 4MPH winds. The path of the storm must have changed because the northernmost counties in NE Ohio were removed from the flash flood warnings, which includes Cleveland.
