Weather for SNF

[TheFinisher]

Something to watch for as we get closer to game time. As of now it looks like rain and possibly thunderstorms.

Sunday Night:

Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 8pm, then a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 69. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

So basically the same weather that the northeast has had all summer long every single day

It's been in the 90's here all week (yes I know it's been in the 100's in Texas for months). High 70's and a little bit of showers sounds better to me if I'm 300lbs and wearing pads. Now if there is a thunderstorm it could get interesting. Slippery field could also mean no Tyler if it's 50/50.

Will the wet field and ball give New York an advantage?

I'm almost at the point I'd rather rest him. I don't recall ever seeing a pulled hammy heal in a few days and not be aggravated worse on game day.

I don't know about an advantage per se, but last year for sure it would be welcomed by the Giants. They were a lot of Saquon and even Jones running. This year hard to say as they want to throw a lot more and brought in weapons. Hopefully not too bad and won't be much of an issue.

I was thinking no issue until he had the MRI. Then I started thinking maybe it was more of a possibility he misses time. Just stresses the value of depth in the NFL and especially within the constraints of the salary cap (as we all know of course) and how injuries can make or break a season no matter how good you think you look on paper. I didn't see where Wilson is definitely starting either. Hopefully both are fine

And that's why it's important to establish the run game early and often. Successful running travels well in any kind of weather.

If you can run. If you can’t you’re in trouble.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Cool.... let the excuses begin.

Wet field
Tyler Smith with a strained hammy
etc etc etc

You don’t need excuses for the first week of the season lol. A lot of good teams will start 0-1 this week.

So having injured linemen is an excuse? My bad, I forgot Dak and our running backs are the only players in history who's held responsible for their own blocking.....

 

[MikeB80]

I would imagine the only thing that would effect either team would be humidity. The sun will be down so the temperature will not matter.

Since neither team really played their guys in the preseason humidity could cause all kinds of problems for both teams.

 

[McMicah]

Rain would definitely favor the Giants. Not that the Cowboys trenches are bad but the true discriminator in this game are the rookie CBs on the Giants that we can take advantage of

This sounds like an excuse

This sounds like an excuse

Which part? That you don’t need excuses or teams start off 0-1?

Actually we have been in a drought here in Maryland.
July and August were real dry.
Rain would be welcome...

Was his (acr731) comment you replied back to deleted? I can't see it. If you can see it does that mean he blocked me?

 

[Creeper]

Thunderstorms come and go. Chances are if we get a typical summer thunderstorm they will stop the game because of lightning. But the rain could pass as quickly as 10 or 15 minutes. The better news is the heat wave we are having will dissipate somewhat by then. The first game will be tough on both teams from a conditioning standpoint, but in high temps and humidity, it would be brutal.

That itself is an excuse. Win it!
