Raiders might not like this too much….

Variable clouds with snow showers. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

Does this help us though? Probably helps the defence, but I'm not sure we welcome anything that could inhibit our pass attack.

Guess it helps us if Mixon can put up the yards he did in the first game.

If the Raiders don't like it, some old Chargers would remind them that it could be a million times worse.

And that is during the day. Game doesn't start until 4:30pm, so temperatures could drop into the 20s soon after game starts and feel a lot colder. 

Seems Carr spent his whole career, incl. college, in warm climates.

WHO DEY

It is supposed to snow from Philly to Pittsburgh to Cincinnati. So I will be driving 16+ hours over 1,000 miles in the snow.

We should start taking bets on to what extent the announcers talk about the weather factoring into the game play and if they mention, "This is what AFC North football is about." Then they'll go on a tangent conversation about the 'Steelers way' of building a run team for weather like today's game. Then the announcer will make a joke about how the Bengals sure do like to let Burrow throw it and when you got "that guy" it is easy to do instead of running the ball. I mean hell, I should just watch the game on mute.

I'll give Drew Bress the benefit of the doubt since his coaches in new orleans have also worked with Burrow when he was at LSU

Within the past few hours the Weather Channel revised their forecast a bit. Now a few degrees colder but with less snow accumulation:

Quote:Variable clouds with snow showers. High 29F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%. Snowfall around one inch.

Every time I look at the forecast the damn temperature drops even more.  Now at 28.  Gonna stop looking.  

Damn....... changed from last night because, in a group chat that has the friends I'm going to the game with, we were talking about how it was supposed to be between 28 and 38 with rain in the morning!

Oh well........ let's hope the cold and time adjustment messes with the Raiders big time and throws them way off their game!

I think Philon being out for us makes it even more necessary for us to just run it down their throats!

Force them to load the box because we're moving the ball with such ease and then play action and go up-top to Chase!

Bring on the snow! The crippled section is covered so I'm good!

Your still gonna need the tire chains to get there. Think ahead Brad and don't get a DUI leaving the stadium after a strong victory.

Yeah, just saw that. Accuweather has a high of 28 and down to 20 at night. So figure below 28 soon after game starts.

What's a cop going to do? Ask me to walk a straight line?

Gotta think these things through!

Zac was asked about the weather yesterday being an advantage. He didn't say much, but noted, "It's not a disadvantage" for the Bengals.

The Bengals being a Midwest team while practicing outdoors weekly is an advantage (it would seem).

The high Saturday is slated to be 27 degrees.

Zac Taylor on Monday said smiling, "it's not a disadvantage."

Derek Carr for his career in games where kickoff temp was even 37 degrees or less?

0-5, never scored more than 17 points, one game with a passer rating over 78.

I don't think the weather will be that much of a factor for either team.

Zac said as long as it remains dry they will be outdoors for practices. It is just a little cold. If precipitation interferes with practice they will head to UC

That kind of dedication has to move the hearts of the Football Gods.
