Will the Weather Cause our Fate?

I for one think they are a bit better along the line of scrimmage, which brings me back to my original thought that shitty conditions could likely play more into their hands.

If KC can't stop the run in the rain, why would it be easier to stop the run in good weather?

So you think that KC can't stop the run in a snow/ice storm, and with +1 defenders in the box. Ok.

I understand past playoff debacles but wow, we are a bunch of wussies.

Forget about Le'Veon Bell and their rushing game. Why don't WE run Spencer Ware down their throats at will?

We're fine. We GOT this.

Because our run blocking is not very good and we haven't been able to run at will all season?

I do think that even in poor weather, Kelce and Hill will be productive enough for the run game to open up. But this just isn't a "run at will" kinda team this season.

Exactly. How many times were we stopped on 4th and 1 this year? If our short yardage game was reliable, then Andy wouldn't be making up Hungry Pig plays from the 2 yard line.

Weather puts the emphasis on technique and execution. I choose us.

This definitely deserved its own thread as it has not been discussed yet.

There needs to be another thread to discuss the fact this needed a new thread. It's the CP way.

I'll also note that taxpayers/Hunts spent a fair amount of money a couple of years ago installing heated water pipes under the Arrowhead turf.

The field should be in acceptable shape and with the gloves the WRs wear these days, the cold shouldn't hurt their hands too terribly much.

I don't really expect the weather to be a factor.

four nights out, still. I don't see anything falling on Sunday except for the Pittsburgh Steelers!

My issue with bad weather is that a slow field = slow pass rush.

They'll still find a way to do that.
