Gametime Weather

[theblackdog]

Just took a look at the weather for Baltimore on Sunday, and they're predicting 42F with a 90 percent chance of rain or snow. How could this affect our chances at a win on Sunday? I know that we play okay in cooler weather, but how does Detroit play when the weather gets cold and rainy?

I just bring this up because last week I was talking with someone who picked the Redskins to pull an upset because the Saints are used to practicing and playing in warmer weather, and lo and behold, they came very close to losing.

That looks to be about 10 degrees north of snow.

Pulled up the details, they said snow until about 11 AM, then switching to rain *gag*

[Purple Nurple]

The Lions suck.

[Raven-In-ATL]

I'd like to think it could be raining frogs and we would still beat the Lions.

42 degress is 10 degrees higher (north) than freezing (ie, snow)

Well, Detroit is a dome team. So, that could work in our favor. I think we can run on them and I dont think they will be able to run on us.

I am also expecting a really big game from Ray Rice. He should have a little extra motivation for this one. Detroit called him during the draft and told him they were going to draft him when they were on the clock but obviously they passed. I am expecting Mr. Rice to show them a little of what they missed out on.

+1 for being right on top of that.

[Ravens_Fan13]

Affect us? the only team its going to affect is the dome team this is our weather.

[LilyRaven]

The Weather Channel now has us at a 60% chance of just rain starting early in the morning. At 42 degrees, it's going to feel downright balmy after Green Bay.

[Moderator 2]

Wbal said the rain should start after the game--yea parkas ans ponchos *roll eyes*

[RavensClaw52]

Yeah Detroit is a dome team but remember, we have Slip, Fall, and Trip.

[PuRock]

All it will be is rain.

I think it is advantage us, if the weather is poor. Because the only player that could kill us tommorrow is Calvin Johnson. If the weather is poor, it will help to ebb him.

Thanks (slaps hand on forehead)

[Moderator 3]

Latest forecast is for rain all through tailgate and the game, ending in the evening.

[Moderator 2]

Yippee. Don't forget we are on Fox tomorrow and next Sunday.

Which means half of Maryland won't get the game. Because Redskins is Fox territory.

[Moderator 2]

Redskins are on CBS.

[RoflDogs]

Dang, I wanted a snow brawl (and no school the following day)

Unless you are local its going to be hard to see the game.

[J-man]

WHo cares about the team, how about me. I'm going to be freezing up there.

Layers...lots of layers and a good waterproof jacket. You lose heat about 20 times faster when you are wet. Staying dry is key.

I hadn't heard about that; that's interesting. Since hindsight is 20/20, I'll bet he's glad that things worked out the way they did.

That history combined with his less than stellar performance last week, will probably be good motivation for him.

Ugh, Fox never shows Ravens games in NOVA. I'm going to miss two in a row. >.<

[McBoller]

I hope it's raining. If it is I should get the call from my grandmother at about 11am. She doesn't like going in bad weather, LOL.
