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.”

Yes. It was soul-zappingly cold.
The thing I’ll never forget is when Lin Elliott missed his third kick and the game was lost how I could hear a small section of celebrating Colts fans all together in the top bowl on the other side of the field (and two levels up). It was so cold and so quiet you could hear their cheers in the opposite corner two levels down. [Reply]

That is - always - the worst part of leaving a Chiefs playoff game on the wrong side. Hearing the minority fans like they're on the loudspeaker at a funeral and watching the opposing team like they're in a Chuckie-Cheese-bouncy-house dance onto the field.

Why can't people just be logical about the entire situation? I discuss good stuff, I discuss bad stuff. What is the fucking problem?
It's not a revelation that bad weather hurts throwing offenses and speed teams and helps power teams.
I believe that we are better than the colts at throwing the ball and we are the faster team. I believe that the colts are better at power football. That means bad weather helps the colts. Why is this being negative?
Dont see rain on any of the forecasts. Looks like just light snow and that might be done before kickoff. Should be no impact really. Just cold. [Reply]
