Blue Chipper Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Its to bad the San Diego game wasnt home. id love to see the Chargers come to OP this weekend. South Towns got hit yesterday and its snowing agin here today. Weekend is supposed to be in the 40's though. Still its always nice to get a warm weather team at home in the cold. We do have Carolina here next week.

MooGoo Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 i hope it snows like crazy for the carolina game, it would be fun to have snow for the Denver game too. Does anyone know if they will open the parking lot early for the denver game. If they go by the rules now it won't be until 4:30.
Mikie2times Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Thats a scary thought. 506746[/snapback] I give us a much better shot against Carolina at home then this week. They have the lowest yards per carry average in the NFL, and Nate should be able to match up against Steve Smith. It should however be the normal struggle for the offense to get going.

Blue Chipper Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 I think he meant playing in the snow more than anything. 506777[/snapback] exactly. It will always be an advantage. This arguement has gone on for years with people saying that both teams still have to play it in. However if you practice all week in warm weather or even weather in the 40's or 50's for that matter- then come to an outdoor stadium that has snow packed around the sidlines and it's below freezing at kickoff you are not prepared as the home team is for the weather.

It also applies the other way too. I went to the Bill's Buc's game here in Tampa. By the second Q, the Bill's were all sitting on the A/C benches while every Tampa player was standing up. The heat killed the Bill's that day. I'll be at the Carolina game.

aussiew Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Hey - I saw a Hamburg bowling alley on the news this morning! Part of the roof fell in from the weight of the snow.
