Pittsburg Weather- Bitter Cold

[MackDonald]

Sunny- Game time temperature (14) degrees; Wind-Chill (5 degrees); Wind from the West at (9) mph.
I hope those Florida boys brought their fleece-lined jackets.

Yeah, I don't know how it will impact the game, but it is freezing here. The "feels like" temp right now is -7.

Used to suck playing in that type of weather. Ball is hard as a rock and when you get hit stings like mfer, can't let it show.

it seems to be cold everywhere this weekend

think the bitter cold will be a negative on Miami. They are not accustomed to it.

Think they will fold it up once Pitt gets ahead....

Warm weather teams do not fair very well when they come up north to play in this type of cold...

It's frigid here. By the 4th qtr, Mia might have used all of their professionalism up. Pgh may roll them.

Cold weather game.
It isn't just a matter of discomfort, it is a matter of fundamentals that you learn over a long period of time, not just a one day adjustment.
The way you hold the ball, the way you throw the ball, the way you catch the ball, the risks that you cannot take in the cold, etc etc.
Limits the passing game.
Emphasizes the running game.
Etc etc.
It is a huge factor when it is THIS cold.
This favors Pittsburg significantly.

As a former lifetime fins fan (thanks to the douchebags that kneel for the anthem) I can tell you that the fins get destroyed today. Pitt is hot (yes HOT) and the dolphin defense is going to get run all over. I would have liked this play even more if Tanneyhill was playing but Pitt wins today by 3 TD's.

One big issue. Dolphins are 30th against the run

Ajayi played at Boise. He has some experience in the cold weather games I assume. Wonder if he had any fumbling issues in college??

 

[gijoe]

going to be a high of 70 today but it looks like they are betting PGH like the game has already been played
