jayg Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I'm in Virginia and our forecast has changed every few hours since Thursday. Who knows what it'll be like tomorrow. Here's the latest hourly forecast for Baltimore. Edited October 1, 2022 by jayg 1 Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 I am a weather nerd. I like how all the “I am too cool to worry about the weather” cool kids poo poo the weather! We have seen over the last few years now several games decided directly because of the weather. It definitely matters, especially since we are such a pass happy team with very little ability to run the ball. According to at least one article I read, the presence of even light rain decreases passing production by 12%. There is no question that it is going to rain during most, if not, the entire game tomorrow. What that means is that we need some good ball security, and we will need to be able to actually run the ball. I am hoping we will see more Jet sweep action and wide zones with Cook. We aren’t going to be able to batter it up the gut against these very good DT’s of the Ravens. 2 1 Quote

It is going to be what it is going to be. We played in 100 degree heat last week and dominated the time of possession by 20 minutes and had 300 more yards than the Dolphins. We didn't lose because of the heat. We lost because we didn't execute. Rains and winds are no different. You lose if you don't execute, not because the weather was bad. The other teams play in the same weather. You don't think Lamar Jackson would prefer a fast field with no wind? Pretty sure the rain and wind are tough on him too. 1 Quote

Pierce is out, but Raekwon Davis was out for Miami and we couldn’t run on them either, so probably doesn’t matter. Quote

SoCal Deek Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Why is this difficult? Your iPhone will show you the hour by hour weather forecast in any city…24 hours out….and It shows a significant chance of rain throughout the entire three hours tomorrow afternoon. 1 Quote
TBBills Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 The game will be miserable for fans and sometimes FG kickers, that's about it. Quote

Pretty sure the rain and wind are tough on him too. we lost last week because of the heat. It clearly affected our red zone execution. The offense was gassed. We lost last year against New England because of the high wind. The rain is going to be a factor. And it doesn’t impact each team the same. It impacts us more because we rely almost exclusively on the pass than the Ravens. I am not saying we can’t or won’t win. But the coaches need to understand that it will affect the game, and game plan accordingly— ie, by figuring out how we are going to run more effectively. We are going to need our middling group of RB’s and oline to generate some push and solid runs. 1 1 Quote

I'm more concerned with wind then rain. If it stays at like 10 to 15 MPH the Bills win be fine. A slight hit to the pass game but nothing substantial. Edited October 2, 2022 by newcam2012 Quote
Chicharito Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 I just pulled into the Baltimore area. It’s 1:55 am and it’s a downpour. Quote
