Amazing weather prediction for potential WC opponent

[Jangler]

This is why Minnesota should play outside, such a huge advantage this time of year.

All Day aka Adrian Peterson 

They'll likely be without Barr again.

Regardless, I never bought into The Viking hype. They seem a few pieces away from being a contender but at the moment are an overachieving squad. We'll see but I got my money on the Seahawks.

Haven't heard anything about Barr possibly being out. From what I can recall, Barr was involved in the Vikings last defensive play to prevent the Packers hail mary. One of the main reasons I think this game will be different is Linval Joseph, who didn't play last time. He's like the Vikings' Kawann Short. Seahawks really struggle against pass rushing DTs that can exploit their vulnerable interior OL. It gets Wilson out of rhythm, which is what the Seahawks west coast offense is based on. Just look at their losses this year: 2 losses to the Rams (Aaron Donald), loss to the Bengals (Geno), loss to the Panthers (Short).

No.  The time for our game is set regardless of our opponent.

Well at least Vikings will be a little bit warmer on their sidelines.

Supposed to be cloudy so they may not get much advantage there.

Isn't the Vikings new stadium going to have some heated seats or am i hallucinating again?

Meh, that won't be enough if AD has less than 20 yards rushing and if Bridgewater is too scared to throw for anything longer than 5 yards.

Zimmers has been more aggresive in play calling, If he plays to win they have very good chance of beating Seattle. They need to run more plays with Peterson with PA, and put Bridgwater in better situation with dump offs and use Rudolph more.

No. He played the entire GB game, even batted down the final hail mary.

But what's the wind chill? A bunch of us were in Minnesota last year when the wind chill brought the game to -7 degrees

one of the worst days of my life. Froze my ass off and watched us poo the bed

[NanuqoftheNorth]

When it gets below zero balls get really hard...

to throw

or catch.

or kick

Bottom line: I suspect a lot of players will have a hard time holding onto their balls in Minnesota this weekend.

He apparently injured himself on that final play.

No he didn't.

We will see. Lynch  is back from an operation and playing his first game in sub zero temperates on a frozen field. Let's see how dominate he will be. They may have to lean on him if the passing is not working due to the weather. Rather have a healthy AP then a Lynch getting 20+ carries first game back.

Meanwhile, our boys look this up while they rest up at home!
Gotta love it!

BOA forecast for our game

He was seen limping after the play. Zimmer himself played coy when a couple of the reporters asked him about Barr.

They're probably trying to keep it quiet but there's speculation that Barr injured his hamstring on the Daily Norseman.

Barr had an interview with Rich Eisen today and nothing was ever mentioned. He's going to play and be as healthy as any other player in the league this time of year.

I lived in Northeast PA for 8 years and Indianapolis 4 years after that.  It wasn't that uncommon to check the weather and the high temperature that day was -3 not counting the wind chill.  Schools would be delayed because it was too dangerous to have kids outside at the bus stop before the sun fully came up.  Any exposed skin would actually start burning on the walk from the car to the office. All physical activity outside like shoveling snow was brutal.  The cold air made my eyes constantly water and also burn your throat and lungs when you tried to catch your breath.  Everything seems to hurt more when it's that cold outside.  It's definitely something you "get used" to and your body will adapt over time but when you aren't used to it, it's a merciless culture shock.  

Advantage Minnesota.
