Currently a 40% chance of rain for next Sunday in Buffalo (2 Viewers)

It's not so much the rain (unless it's a downpour throughout the game), but the wind coming off of Lake Ontario can really cause problems for the passing and kicking game.

The new outlook of Saints fans. Bravo.

I hope it does rain.......We need some practice in the rain.
The Super Bowl is in Miami this year, and you remember the last SB played in Miami (Colts-Bears)...

Our offense absolutely Destroyed the Chargers D in some very nasty weather last season. I'm not worried about the rain... I say bring it!

Rain does not matter. In that stadium WIND does. I have been there enough times to know that people. Look at what the winds are whipping at rather than the precipitation. I think rain HELPS the Saints since we have tall physical receivers who can run after the catch and have a QB with pinpoint accuracy to get them the ball.....it is the DBs who will be on an island grasping at air.

Buffalo has a better running game than we do, especially if Bell is hurt.

We don't have great recent history in cold and/or wet.

That's debateable. Even with Bell hurt, assuming Thomas is ready to go, he's shown he's very good as well and more then capable of carrying the load.

Fred Jackson is off to a great start though. I think he should remain the starter. Lynch is overrated.

And remember that game in the Meadowlands in late 2006 --- rainy, cold, windy ----- Brees was great in that game, although our receivers dropped a number of balls.

WEATHER, is the only thing that can slow this offense.

We don't really know that now, do we?

Jim Cantore says take the Saints and lay the points.

If it rains, it rains on both teams.

Even if our offense is neutered by bad rain, we've still got a ground game and a solid run defense.
