As of right now it is expected to rain (1 Viewer)

And don't be scared of the wind. Remember the giants game a few years back?

The saints specialize in the short passes. Wind won't throw that off.

I recall the Saints scoring 37 points on a wet field in London last year. I think the offense can handle it

This response bathes me in relief. Thanks for the reminder!! I'm not as worried now!

The bottom line is; we won't know who this helps or hurts until the game is played.

That being said, lets HOPE it's a wash (pun intended)!

I recall it actually raining in the Tampa Bay game last year. What was that result?

Hey, I want us to be good in any conditions or I won't be confident we'll be able to do crap if we make the playoffs.

I hope it rains. I want to see what this team can do in those conditions. I think Payton is smarter than he was. He went somewhat conservative against the eagles....and I think he would obviously get way more conservative and play a smart game in bad conditions. I'd like to see it personally.

Well as of now it is 20% during the day, then 20% at night so I think we're good to go.

It could rain outside linebackers and it still wouldn't stop this offense.

I was at the Tampa game and yes it did rain. Ugly game that we lost.

I think the ball would be slick, so it would be harder to throw and catch. Since our offense is more pass oriented than the Bills', it should affect us more, but we'll see. It seems that we have had some good games despite the rain. It seems like we've had more problems with cold weather than with wet, and at least it won't be cold.

Hey.. This is good.. The Saints can;t win a Championship by playing in 72* and air conditioning all the time...

Remember in Chicago foir the NFC Champ game we praciced indoors... Sean Payton might wanna take the team out every once in and While in Metairie and let em practice in the rain... Might be good for em...

Rain or not this game has me worried. But I do worry alot about every game they play. I hope it works out as a win for the Saints.

I hope it rains and drop into the 50s. The reports were fluctuating on the same site all week (lowest temp was 60 degrees). Seriously, I hope the games in Atlanta and Carolina have freak storms as well. No fault of our own, but we are set-up to lose cold weather games against Chicago and NY Giants in the playoffs, at the end of a long season. We play mostly Southern (warm/mild to hot weather) teams and our off games are in the Dome. Look at the rest of our schedule

Thank the lord for the Redskins game, but we need to play in some "bad" weather. I wished that Patriots game was at NE (but, we need a break from the road then). Always stand a chance of the Panthers game being very cold and/or wet.

What the hell? No we don't. We need to go 14-2 so we have homefield all the way to sunny Miami in the Superbowl. Wow bad logic
