Right now the forecast is all over the place, what I see is high 30's to low 40's and very wet. The interesting thing is most of the northeast will be experiencing an unusual warm weekend, here in Jersey they are calling for weather in the 60's for Sunday, hopefully that will extend up to Buffalo. Either way I think this team has proven it can handle the conditions, my only concern is if its sloppy where the run game is a bigger factor the Bills might have the edge with Spiller and Jackson, plus our run defense has been suspect this season though not terrible.
Saw that too, as I just checked because I'm going. At least it's a turf field, so it will only get so sloppy. At least it won't be bone-chilling cold, but the rain needs to really hold off somehow. Hoping things change by Sunday.
Yeah, it makes the balls harder to catch, and it makes it actually colder for the fans, as you get soaked and it's then like 40 degrees and will feel like -20. I'd rather it be light snow in the high 30's. (actually, I'd love it to be 85, but I live in Upstate NY so I get what I deserve) Oh well, it is what it is.
yeah, and it's all about the wind. Rain PLUS wind is just downright BAD... Snow means typically not as windy, which means it's warmer mentally. After that Steelers win, it's better for us if it snows vs rains. If it rains, AJ Francis is going to be needed to step up on place of a less than 100% Solar Eye.
Idk spiller,Jackson both have 3 fumbles this year and Manuel has had 6 in a shortened season. Wind with highs of 14 mph which isn't too bad but still too early to tell. Weather changes every hour without meteorologist getting it right so 5 days away is too hard to predict. I'm hoping for no rain or snow but for me personally making the 8 hour trip I'm just happy snow doesn't look likely.
Just watch those screens. Bills and screen passes give me flashbacks to Thurman Thomas. And diarrhea Flashbacks and diarrhea...
If I ever meet Tom Olivadatti in person, I swear I will commit assault for the first time in my life. If he is on fire, I will refuse to urinate on him in an attempt to put the fire out. Total coaching LOLFAIL that day, and the worst loss of Dan Marino's career, post SB XIX. And I'm including 62-7 in my estimation.
1992 AFC Championship game. It was like Groundhog's day. I still remember a quote from Jim Kelly shortly after he retired where he said that Olividotti's lack of adjustments were a running joke with the Bills. They could never believe how stubborn he was.
To this Day, That image of Olivadotti, with the head set on and a lost look on his face, standing next to Shula, STILL HAUNTS ME!!! That quote by Kelly is quite an indictment.
I think it favors Buffalo if it rains.... They got two very good running backs incase it becomes a ground and pound game. Still don't trust Miller or Thomas to carry us to a win.
Especially when your kid look JUST LIKE HIM!?! Lousy stinkin' women. Wait, what? Can people see this?
I just hate the conditions with this Bills team. A cold, rainy game is no bueno. We could be in for a ton of read option. With no Soliai, no bueno. The offense just needs to score. Tannehill can throw in snow, but can he throw in rain?
lets keep in mind that he has probably practiced in the rain more than your average qb... thanks to the conditions in so fla.
Hmm, see it differently, think that win for this team was huge. Let us hope the equipment guy is on point, no untimely slip and falls

tell ya, if we don't play 8 in the box against the Bills (if they start running it all over us), I'll have no words.
Ok, I got the temps up to 51, just give me a little more time to see what I can do about the rain. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/buffalo-ny/14241/daily-weather-forecast/5550_pc?day=4
Ryan's see snow, and he's seen rain... He's seen sunny skies in Miami that never end. He's seen lonely times when he couldn't find any good O-linemen... but he never thought the Dolphins would control their own fate. That's my message from James Taylor. Thanks JT!
Yeah, they keep revising the forecast up. Some places in Jersey may now hit 70, so temps in the 50's in Buffalo sounds fair.
The way this weather is warming up for us reminds me of the same way it did in 2008 in our final game at the Meadowlands against the Jets, it was 55 degrees game time and of course we won and got the AFC East title. In fact this season is reminding me of that 2008 season.
The first, second, and third parts of our defensive game plan needs to be focused on the run, right? I'm pretty sure that's the case. And after that, I think we have to watch the screen passes and short crossing routes. If we stop the run and the "safe" passing game and don't turn the ball over on offense, we should win this game.
Be nice to get some Carole King to go along with that. Maybe something like... And it's too late, Ravens, now, it's too late, though you really did try to make it. You know, something like that.
If the wind is that bad Ryan has a definite advantage over Lewis in the passing game. I expect a lot of short to intermediate routes where Ryan can just sling it in. However it will be a low percentage option for both teams. Would like to see Ryan use his legs this week.
The more I think about it, the more I like our chances in 51 degree 20 mph winds and rain. Think about it. Thad Lewis in these conditions will suffer a considerable drop off from the already Thad Lewis level of QB play. Tannehill's throws seem to cut through the wind very well
