Snow Game?


Jakob

Recommended Posts

- If the predicted temperature of 19 degrees for Sunday's game at Minnesota doesn't change significantly, it will be the second coldest in the history of the Carolina Panthers.

At Green Bay several years back, the forecast was for heavy snow, something like 6 inches during the game. I remember the TV coverage kept showing radar, saying the snow would start any minute for much of the game, but it held off until almost the end of the 4th quarter. Snow game averted, I think that was the one where Steve had the long catch to the 1 to give us the win.

Yep. I was there.

It snowed upwards of five inches on our ride back to Milwaukee. Had that game been played at four, it would have been played in a good bit of snow.

I remember 12/3/2000, simply because I turned down tix to that game against the Rams in CLT since I was attending the UF-Auburn SEC game in Atlanta the previous late afternoon.  Driving home, it was cold as hell and snow was in the forecast, but I believe it missed to the north of Charlotte up in the I-40 corridor that day, likely the closest chance to a home snow game there has been.  I remembered driving that Sunday morning back on I-85 north, dreary, the sky looked like snow, and the crosswind from the north was hell, the wind chill had to be brutal that day, I'm too damned lazy to look up the boxscore and see what the weather was listed as.

I was there. They were predicting significant snowfall that didnt pan out. I've never been so cold in my life.

With Shula's game planning ... a snow game would mean 60 pass play and 5 run plays .... GENIUS!!!!!

Northern teams love snow and amp up there pass attack in it. Passing O actually gains an edge pending we aren't talking about a blizzard.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
