Baltimore weather for 4:05 pm EDT kickoff (1 Viewer)

Previous Next
Friday midday weather update: The forecast remains for partly cloudy skies and zero percent chance of precip. The temps have edged up slightly (53 degrees at kickoff), but so have the winds.

We're now looking at forecast winds of 14 mph at kickoff and only tailing off to 9 mph by the end of the game.
 
I think we see a few more Taysom Hill snaps in this game. And some new wrinkles with him in there.

Amazing how these northern teams assume southern teams just cant handle cold or rain...or both.

We are well suited to play in both. And have.

And won.

Trust me when i say the Ravens arent thinking this...just the fans.

Agreed. Don’t wet footballs, heavy winds, freezing temps, and slippery fields negatively impact every team? Those teams who play in open stadiums up north and on the coast don’t play or practice in bad weather every week, so I’ve never understood that argument against teams that play their home games in domes.

Plus, most players in the NFL have experience in bad conditions - whether in high school, college, or just being around the league. Drew Brees played four years at Purdue, about 90 miles from Lake Michigan. It isn't like he doesn't know how to play in the cold. :shrug:

Where I think it comes into play is that teams who know they will have games outdoors in the winter on a regular basis (those with homefields in cold environments) can build scheme and personnel based on that. It's no different than teams in domes being able to count how many games they typically play inside in a given year and choose to favor a style of play that takes advantage of those known conditions.

So it can be an advantage for a cold-weather outdoor team to host a warm weather or dome team in those conditions. The inverse is likely also to be true. So what.

Their fans are. Reading their boards they want a monsoon and cold. They feel we cannot play in cold and or wet. I think running games travel even in inclement weather including run d. We shall see how it all unfolds.

Nice shoutout to Outkast, I like...
 
We’re going to have ideal weather up here this weekend. Actually perfect for football or outside exercise. Running at 50 degrees this week in DC was nice. Weather shouldn’t be an issue.

Agreed.
Our O line and their health or lack thereof will be the issue.
 
if other teams can play in the cold and wind there is no reason we cant
