Beerball Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 wind & rain please The Saints have fared poorly in recent years in adverse conditions, losing three games at Chicago in December or January and wilting in the rain at Tampa Bay last Nov. 30. Drew Brees threw three interceptions in New Orleans’ 23-20 loss.
Dan Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Currently: Showers likely. Highs around 70. Chance of rain 70 percent.
Marc in MontrÈal Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 40% chances of shower for Sunday. (As of Sept. 24) Marc in Montréal
Lori Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Just keep in mind that Edwards has had his own issues during inclement weather ... although if it gets TOO bad, the Bills might be better-equipped to handle a run-heavy gameplan.
Just Jack Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I had this songs lyrics running through my head now.... 10000 Maniacs In My Tribe Like The Weather The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey. Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again. With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. A quiver in my lips as if I might cry. Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe. Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave. Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. Quiver in my voice as I cry, "What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away." I hear the sound of a noon bell chime. Now I'm far behind. You've put in 'bout half a day while here I lie with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. A quiver in my lip as if I might cry, "What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?" Do I need someone here to scold me or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward. For it is such a long time since my better days. I say my prayers nightly this will pass away. The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds. Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. A quiver in my voice as I cry, "What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?" I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.
Captain Caveman Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I love that filename: new_orleans_saints_plan_to_suc Don't they know there's a k at the end?

Lori Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 like the BLIZZARD in Cleveland or the MONSOON against the G-Men???? Actually, I was thinking Seattle and San Fran from last season, not the dual Acts of God from 2007. Add: It's funny -- you can take the play-by-play of that Seattle game, and tell almost exactly when it stopped drizzling. As soon as the sun appeared, Edwards started connecting. 10-for-19 in the first half, 9-for-11 in the second.
murra Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I had this songs lyrics running through my head now.... 10000 Maniacs In My Tribe Like The Weather I love that song.
todd Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 And they are from WNY - Jamestown or fredonia or whatever. I remember going to a 10K Maniac's show in Buff and the bass player wrote "Conlan" and his number on the back of his bass. Conlan sat right behind me in the balcony. He was injured at the time and had a leg brace on.

Guest dog14787 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Just keep in mind that Edwards has had his own issues during inclement weather ... although if it gets TOO bad, the Bills might be better-equipped to handle a run-heavy gameplan. We have a slight edge so far the season in rushing (thanks to TE) but the featured RB's for the two teams are close with Mike Bell averaging 114 yards a game, Fred Jackson averaging 110 yards per game. The Bills stop the run better and our rushing attack is less reliant on our passing attack so I tend to agree with you.
scoring is not hardy Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Don't you know? The weather thinks about Brees
Cugalabanza Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Irony? Dude's name sounds like "BREEZE," but he can't handle it?
billsfan89 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Wind and Rain can only help the Bills out there. They have a quality running back in Jackson and Edwards is the king of a safe passing game (If its really bad in terms of wind and rain he can't really air it out too often) so while the Saints are able to pass it well even in the short game they don't run the ball as well as they use to (Bush is more of a receiver who runs 12-15 times a game and their other runners are at best slightly above average). I honestly wish we had Lynch for this game he would be perfect for bad conditions and considering we are 1 injury away from only having 1 running back also makes me want Lynch back asap.
wonderbread Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Don't you know? The weather thinks about Brees I heard thru the grapevine they were getting back together.
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 like the BLIZZARD in Cleveland or the MONSOON against the G-Men???? Don't forget about the HURRICANE game.
billsfaningeneseo Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Of course the Saints couldn't be visiting in late Nov. or Dec. when the weather could really affect them. Nope, they get a game against us nice and early in the year....

Nope, they get a game against us nice and early in the year.... Funny thing about that ... back in 1989, the Saints showed up in Buffalo in December. Ask Steve Tasker about that game, one the Bills figured they had won as soon as it started to snow. 22-19 New Orleans. Curse you, John Fourcade.
