Well, to be fair, you're still 3 days out and the forecast isn't much more reliable today.

 

Wait, what did I miss?  I haven't even seen the injury report from today's practice, were they announced as out?

Here ya go. Nothing on either yet it would appear

Cold rain in the forecast. So much fun.

[GottaRun]

I'm seeing a high of 49 and a low of 43 with light rain on multiple sites... doesn't seem terrible, are people seeing worse forecasts?

I love that Dallas will be miserable in the cold rain. And no one can tell me Buffalo will be equally as miserable.  they will be hyped and are more used to crappy conditions. Although with the slick ball the chances of turnovers increases. whoever wins that ratio will win the game.

Figured I'd put this in the week's thread. It's a preview of the game by K. Warner.  In the section on Diggs, I'm of course focusing on Diggs but happen to notice Knox at the bottom of the screen all alone.  I figured the a D-man had to be out of the camera frame, so I go back, and sure enough Knox comes out of the formation and is absolutely uncovered.  I thought it was amusing.  Wonder what these guys say after the fact?  It's about the 1:30 mark.

What's worse than rain and temps in the lower 40s?

I’d rather it be 20’s and snow falling.  it will be dark out by the end of the 1st Qtr with showers supposedly getting more numerous.  being wet and mid 40’s sucks.

It'll feel like warm sun if we win

Kincaid said something like “I’ll do what I can to be ready for the next game” in last weeks post game, so does that make him borderline for Sunday? 

[Royale with Cheese]

Steve Largent is on WGR and he was talking about his first year in the league.  Bum Phillips was his coach and Steve said Bum didn't have much hitting during camp.

He felt like he needed to keep his players fresh and healthy for the season....that's when you let them go.

 

Interesting, from the "old school" people on here...it made me think NFL back then was practice, practice, practice and hitting, hitting and hitting.

 

"Players are soft today!  They don't even hit in training camp!"

Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons played through flu-like symptoms Sunday. He remained limited Wednesday but returned to full work Thursday.

But receiver Brandin Cooks, receiver Jalen Tolbert and cornerback Stephon Gilmore missed Thursday’s practice with an illness. Gilmore did not practice Wednesday in a load management rest day, and Cooks had half a rest day Wednesday in sitting out team work.

 

Could the stars be aligning?

Hummm one would think it would be time, in mid-December, to break out that really big RB we signed for a game just like this. I mean its not like every game is a playoff game for us now or anything.

I watched the weather earlier. Saying there could be a system that moves in that could make things nasty, or it might it not do anything at all. Pretty sure they said if it did get nasty, it'd be more into Monday than Sunday afternoon. It's all a crap shoot at this point

Thanks for this.

 

O/T: holy shiite, Kurt looks like he's had additional...ummm, surgery. Plus, the make-up lady needs a little more "former QB" and a little less "Little Richard".

Parsons was reportedly ill for the Eagles game Sunday night and played through it. So he’s probably on the backside of it and will be fine for the game.  Maybe the other guys just caught what he had.

Wish I could agree but recent history tells us that the Bills do not play well in crappy weather at all.

 

I think back to hosting the Colts in the rain in 2021 and getting romped - to last season's playoff loss to the Bengals.

 

More than anything, it takes mental toughness to play well in bad weather. Since 2017, this team has lacked mental toughness. I'll let you figure out the common denominator there.

 

 

What about the Cowboys? In recent history have they played better in crappy weather?
