Get out the snowplow. That 4:00 PM start time ought to be right in the middle of the snowstorm.
Skip, you may want to think about starting Sage.

| Same forecast for Pittsburgh and beautiful in San Fran - Cincy may be up so much, Gore may never get a carry.
You may want to consider conceding right now. I'll accept a concession up until game time Thursday. After that, you're going to have to accept the embarrassment.

Absolutely.
I've had Brady vs Bills in both of my prior games with Skip. I wasn't looking forward to Brady vs Jets at home where the Pats may want to score 70.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

| The scary part is going to be when Brady throws 5 TDs in the snow and beats you anyway.
The best thing that can happen for Gore is bad weather. He hasn't been scoring all year, maybe this is the week...

| Tom Brady-QB- Patriots Dec. 14 - 10:09 am et
The weather for Sunday's Jets versus Patriots game in Foxborough will feature heavy rain and windy conditions with gusts up to 50 MPH.
There were some thought that it could be a blizzard-like day at Gillette Stadium, but the forecast now calls for the snow to change to rain prior to game time. As with most inclement weather NFL games, the big factor will be the wind and its effects on the passing game. While we would never advocate benching Tom Brady under any circumstances, this is something to be concerned with.

| Tom Brady-QB- Patriots Dec. 16 - 11:09 am et
Wendi Nix of ESPN reports that the weather at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough "is an absolute mess."
The tarp is still on the field less than two hours before kickoff between the Jets and Patriots. Snow and what The Weather Channel reports could be 35 MPH winds will lessen the Patriots' chances of putting up their usually explosive numbers offensively, and could specifically put a big hit on Tom Brady's fantasy value.

| It would really suck to lose a playoff game on Brady's one bad week of the season - but it's looking that way. The only thing that could help is one long drive culminating in a TD to put some decent points on the board.

| Sage was the wrong play, regardless of whether or not he scored more points. You don't bench the best QB in football. In the end, it may not matter as I expect Stu to score enough points for my QB decision to be irrelevant. Still, it is frustrating to see my best players all lay eggs on the same weekend when it mattered most.
The consolation prize, however, is that Cleveland should make the playoffs for the first time since 2002. Better? Seriously, though, that team wasn't very good... It was surprising they made it into the playoffs. This is the first good team we've had since the Marty Schottenheimer era.
