zow2 Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Yep, come winter time, you have the usual array of cookie cutter cold weather places like Foxboro, Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland etc... But where else can you count on at least one or two "pre-winter" horrible weather games?!? ORCHARD PARK, NY...that's where! The wind, rain and low clouds that whip off Lake Erie can be really intimidating to our opponents. I'm glad we wiped out Miami and Ariz in OUR conditions in OUR house. Can't wait for the Jets next week!
zow2 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Posted November 1, 2004 Saw this quote from Josh McCown. Great quote. "I know one thing, I have a newfound respect for Jim Kelly and what he did here," McCown said. "To put up the numbers he did in this type of environment is unbelievable. It was the toughest conditions I've ever played in."

I wonder what Kelly would have accomplished in say Miami or SF, with Clayton and Duper for a good chunk of his time, or Rice and Taylor. Also if he hadn't missed those 3 years because of playing in the USFL.

KurtGodel77 Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I loved that Raiders game. We should do that more often.
Typical TBD Guy Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I hope we have the same weather conditions for the Rams home game in a month.
Mikie2times Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I loved that Raiders game. We should do that more often. 94159[/snapback] Probably my favorite weather game in recent memory was the Raiders divisional playoff game in 94. It was absolutely bitter cold out, the Raiders held up pretty well considering the conditions but Kelly rallied the troops at the end. Tasker made an incredible play on a kickoff or punt, forget which one at the moment. I just remember him snatching the ball out of the air and returning inside the ten. I just looked up the temperature on that game, 0 degrees and a -32 degree windchill, coldest game in Buffalo Bills history. That kind of weather would even make Ron Jeremy self conscious.
