What was the Minny game in the postseason last year - between 0-10 degrees? Plus, there was a little breeze on top of that.
GB and 32 degrees, no problem:)
We have the better defense, and we will run all over them with Rawls.
Seahawks, 27-20

If he had dreads and wore 24, I would have been convinced it was beast mode. Mirror image. I love this, it shows me he was paying attention to beast, learning from him. A great quality from a young back. I think we have something special with this kid.

I don't have as much of a problem if the field (footing) remains at NFL standards, but IMO we pay these guys too much money, and bet too much, and pay too much to watch, to have games played on random surfaces or in extreme(ish) conditions.

Maybe you should watch another sport then. They have a finite amount of games, in a finite amount of stadiums, and a finite amount of dates available.
What exactly are you proposing?
The damn thing faces the wrong direction and the Sun is an issue for games. Move the damn stadium I say. Damn those NFL people.
I wouldn't stop with 'field conditions' -- the game we played a couple of years ago in San Diego with it's 90 degrees and 90% humidity has to go. Every game must be within 40 - 65 degrees and under 50% humidity. And no rain! I shouldn't have to pay to sit in a stadium and get wet. And I take issue with the Dallas Cowboys billion $$$ stadium. The damn thing faces the wrong direction and the Sun is an issue for games. Move the damn stadium I say. Damn those NFL people.
I don't think the NFL is going to change the 'traditions' of teams playing in any conditions (except Hurricanes and Lighting) as irregardless of the conditions, both teams have to play in it.

Thanks, chief- they also have an infinite amount of money. Standardize the damn game- it isn't rocket science, and it isn't craps.

Its not the snow its Lambeau field we haven't won there since 1999, and we all remember Hass's call. I put this on the calendar as a loss, course I had the Pats as a loss.

In 2013 on the way to the Super bowl I sat at Clink in the rain and watched Wilson look a whole lot like yesterday vs AZ and waste a 5 turnover performance by the LOB.
I think we remember the Minnesota game where we were saved by Blair Walsh after 60 minutes of mostly ineptitude from Russ. On a good field and nice day we rolled them like a cheap joint in their house only weeks earlier.
I know he recovered to play well late in the 2014 NFC title game but that was another blustery day where he played mostly horrible and had no chance of winning without multiple heroics from the ST unit.
As a fan I hate bad weather as a variable and Russ needs to check his stats before rooting for it....
