GG Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Looking at the hurricane tracking maps, it seems that rain is due in WNY sometime late on Sunday. But, if the storm speed picks up a bit and rains hit earlier, I don't know if we would enjoy the benefit of all that wetness. As I'm not overly fearful of Falcons' passing game, I think it will be a bigger benefit to Dunn's & Vick's running styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to think Vick could ever have more of an advantage than he already has. If the conditions favor Vick, then they favor Losman too. The Packers playoff game notwithstanding, I would think that any inclimate weather favors us over a dome team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It slows down Vick which certainly helps, but it doesn't help our speedy undersized defense either. If the rain starts to fall we need big Sam to hold down the interior more then ever.

GG Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 The reason that I think that it would favor Falcons is that I've noticed our new turf is somewhat slippery. I don't think that it will slow down Vick & Dunn as much as it will minimize our D's reaction to their shiftiness. It could favor Losman, if Clements lets him go wild. I doubt the reigns are off the kid just yet. I'm hoping for a nice warm, dry day, followed by a victory rain at 5PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will make Mr. Mexico think twice about cutting back to the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
