Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
Tons of snow always makes it a wild-card. Couple breaks the right way and Cleveland maybe could steal one, which would sure be nice.

Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
According to NOAA's national weather service, it's not expected to snow in Cleveland until Monday. There's a chance of rain, and winds could get up to 50mph. I hope the wind affects the Steelers' passing game.

Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
Inclement weather always favors the less talented team, so that's a plus for Cle. Plus gimping around in snow or rain or slush can't be good for Ben R's ankle.

Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
Hillis also ran through Baltimore last year, but in 3 games against Pittsburgh (two last year and one this year) he's had 41, 13, and 25 yards rushing. He's not the kind of running back that typically gives Pittsburgh trouble. Don't think it'll be different today, snow or no snow.
That said, the bad weather is an equalizer. If this becomes a game of Hillis vs Mendenhall, it's going to be very little offense, and extremely low scoring, which means that any play, even just a bad punt or a decent return could make all the difference. Field position will be critical.

Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
Boy it is blowing HARD in Cinci. I am talking like gale force winds.
TWC says it is a steady 25mph gusting to 40 plus mph, and is warning of power outages.
Advantage Ravens.
Flacco has the arm strength to get it through the wind, and we have Ray Rice.

Re: I think we got the better break with the weather
The bad weather is a good break for the Ravens. Flacco has the ability to make throws in that kind of wind, don't think Dalton has that kind of arm strength. Plus Rice > Benson.
