Hope the rain is over before kickoff. I can deal with snow. Rain and freezing rain, not so much...
From the KC Star today:
It’s still a little more than 100 hours until kickoff of Saturday afternoon’s AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Chiefs and Colts at Arrowhead Stadium.
Obviously, a lot can happen between now and then regarding the weather, but it never hurts to take an early look at what the conditions might be like for the game.
At this time, it seems that Saturday could be chilly and wet at Arrowhead. I looked at what two national weather forecasters and four local meteorologists are saying could happen. They all seem to agree that precipitation is coming but not when it will happen:
The National Weather Service is calling for rain and snow on Friday night that will transition to snow. On Saturday, its forecast says, “Rain and snow likely, becoming all rain after noon, then gradually ending. Cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 70 percent.”
I have no clue why people think this HELPS the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are the worst rushing defense in the NFL. If there is anything the Chiefs are good at defensively, it's stopping the pass. We have fucking terrible middle linebackers and safeties. We get obliterated by great running schemes.
Having it snow during the game is the absolute worst possible outcome. It doesn't mean we will lose - but it SIGNIFICANTLY neutralizes the league MVP in Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is good when he's running around, zigging and zagging, throwing at weird arm angles. This is going to be almost impossible in snow. He's going to have to stay in the pocket, and we are going to have to be successful in the run and hold onto the football. [Reply]

The field is heated, moron.
The only concern here is a slick football. [Reply]

Chillax, friend. Mahomes is adaptable. Whatever modifications are necessary to his mechanics to negotiate the terrain, he will make. And best part is he won’t even have to consciously do it. [Reply]

Indy is only good running the ball when they have a good lead and are running out the clock. [Reply]
As much as I love a joke at Missouri's expense, after Brownback I don't think the quality of roads (or schools, for that matter) is where we want to hit 'em. [Reply]
Darksky.net is now estimating the end of the heavy snow around 7-8am tomorrow morning, earlier than expected. There is also the potential of a dry slot moving in from the southwest, which could limit accumulations.
If we could all send good thoughts to send the Low bolting towards the East right now please. That would clear it out faster. [Reply]
