Weather for Chiefs game

[Virgil]

WGR was saying thunderstorms, wind, and wet conditions are expected for the game Sunday night.  
 

Last time we played them in the rain, Pat could handle it and Josh struggled (similar to the Texans start).  
 

I really hope they come out prepared 

[BigAl2526]

Too early to know when the rain arrives.  The daytime is supposed to be dry.  Lightning would cause a game delay. 

[Sugar High JA17]

Maybe playing last week in this type of weather helps us be more prepared, our game plan will be adjusted.

I trust our coaching staff

Yes it sucks that we may have to play in another crap weather game, but all teams have to deal with it. They need to figure it out. 

Allen played exceptionally well in a strong wind game against Washington and last week in the rain he played very well against the Texans. He should be fine.

I think he played the best ball in the rain last Sunday.

I am a big weather worrier— but this doesn’t look bad. The wind is what you really have to worry about and 5-10 MPH is nothing. And the rain doesn’t strike me as the downpour we saw last week.

You’re so enthusiastic about the team’s chances, it’s almost unbearable to see such a positive post. 
 

Go Bills!!!

[Big Turk]

It's still way too early to worry about that...timing for these things this far out typically can be off by a half a day or more.

Both of us were at the Texans game.

 

Josh can play in the rain, I'm not worried.

Tote the rock on offense. Force the fumbles on defense.

I agree he'll be fine. Not worried. 

 

The point of this thread was to imply we are in trouble because Josh can't play in bad weather. If that was true we would have a problem at QB. 

 

But I don't think it is. 

[Bookie Man]

Have Josh throw wet balls next few practices. Soaking wet. 

[uninja]

I’m less worried about the weather and more about the crowd noise. Arrowhead gets loud. 

[The Dean]

Imagine the fuss that would be made if the Bills played in an enclosed stadium* and just about ANY weather was unusual. Thankfully this team is used to inclement weather.

 

* I don't call any enclosed stadium a "dome" because I'm not that stupid. If it doesn't have a dome-shaped roof, it isn't a dome. Pretty simple, actually.

Arrowhead at night is the hardest place to play, IMO. I still have PTSD from the 33-6 MNF Loss there in 1993.

Eh. He really started playing well once the rain stopped.

Actually he improved mightily after the rain stopped in the first half. Can't speak for the second half though. Did the rain start back up? I think the announcers said it did... but was tough to see on tv.

There goes my fantasy week grrrr

And he kept that pace up when it started raining again.

Meh.

 

wunderground is saying 45% chance of rain at kickoff, increasing through the evening.

 

But the truth is, this is the midwest - the weather gets generated out here, you can't really see it coming 3 days in advance.  Well sometimes you can, but whether it's coming for you or will skip to the south or skate off to the nouth is very hard to predict.  And exactly when it gets here is also hard to figure.

 

Hopefully they're working with Wet Ball drills at practice, but we're really not going to know what the weather will be at that time and place with reasonable probability until Sunday am.

 

I think your % probability of precip and your low, are both the low for the entire day arriving in the wee hours of Monday.  Should be more like 72 around game time with a low in the high 60s by the end of the game.
