Weather makes no difference in NFL game ?

After the Monday night Jets/Vikes game many "long time posters" whose names have been changed to protect the ignorant... had this to say about the game !

The only time weather effects football games significantly enough to make a lean a play is when it is snowing so hard that the snow will accumulate on the field. Or when you have those freak games where it is pouring on a grass field and it is raining long enough before the game to turn the field to mud. Like that Pitt/Dolphin MNF game in Pittsburgh a few years back.

I think we see how weather has very little effect on a NFL game
They are pros and the fields just are in perfect shape with perfect drainage

WTF - How can any one with an IQ greater than 60 say such rubbish ?

9-0 at half.... Are you kidding me ???
Yeah right... the wet ball had no effect what so ever.

Minnesota recorded three first downs and 51 yards of total offense in the first half.
Are you kidding me ???
Yeah right... the wet ball had no effect what so ever.

3 Fumbles and 2 bobbled snaps...
Yeah right... the wet ball had no effect what so ever.

26 incomplete or dropped passes...
Yeah right... the wet ball had no effect what so ever.

Weather made a 20% to 30% difference in that game.
What are you waiting for a 100% difference. 0-0 ???

9-0 at half time for god sake.... hello 9-0 !

Anytime you can get a 10% edge your way ahead of the game.
Let alone the massive advantage that the wet ball gave the under in that game.


Note: I posted before the game... it would quit raining in the second half.

Congrats to all of you with a brain who played the under in the first half.

The most important weather factor coaches and players worry about is wind.

IN the CFL, when it starts snowing and blowing... I'm gonna bet the under on a good weather report every time... you ever played in the snow or rain? its tough.. you're just trying to stay warm as much as you're trying to do your job...

I wish there was a database showing the totals of games in the different inclement weather conditions.
