Nervous about the weather

[bigskydoc]

I think this weather favors the Skins. Unless Lacy gets into a rhythm, and Brown has a magical effect on the line, I think it’s going to be a long day. Wilson tends to struggle in weather like this.

All QBs struggle in this weather. But it does favor dink and dunkers since the passes are shorter.
As long as it’s not windy we should be ok. Similar to the Patriots game in 2012.

 

[evergreen]

Yes. Power not finesse

 

[Mistashoesta]

It's that time of year. This is normally the time the Seahawks thrive while most teams die.

Yeah but we had a running back that could dance under water and not get wet. Now? Ha, smh.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

We will be fine. This team is from Seattle, they are used to it.

 

[Exittium]

Well.... this game lacy should have the edge from Green Bay

 

[hawk45]

Count me worried. All we have for an offense is Wilson and he struggles in weather more than other QBs.

And this is why you don't ideally want to be a pass-first team.

History would suggest otherwise

Nope, this weather doesn't favor the skins over the Seahawks Defense.
Wilson willed the team to a win last week, now it's time for the vaunted Defense to answer.

To the whiny, whimpy fans out there: if Wilson can't throw the ball, how exactly do you expect Cousins to?

Redskins have a lot of injuries. If this keeps up they may not even be able to field a team by 1pm today. If the Seahawks lose to the depleted Redskins then there are more problems than the weather to be concerned about.

Bigger hands.

I said without actually looking it up.

Wilson has bigger hands.

No doubt, a good running game works in all weather, here is to hoping the Hawks start to get one going today. :irishdrinkers:

 

[THE TABS]

Redskins OL is very beat up, which definitely favors us. I’ll take our QB over theirs every time.

I think we win this one with ease.

Because he throws shorter passes.

History suggests that Cousins handles inclement weather a little better, although I don’t recall a head to head game in rain or snow.

One thing I remember is Wilson seems to have issues with throwing low or seemingly hold his release too long in colder weather, some of his throws look like he throwing at their feet.

Hopefully he has learned that grabbing the ball too hard to throw isn't what he wants to do on days like this.
