I think we got the better break with the weather

Except Seneca can run and Ben is gimped up....

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.

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.

Im assuming you are referring to Pitts game. How does that help us?

Bad weather takes both QB's out of the game and it becomes a ground game. The Steelers ground game and run defense is light years better than Cleveland's.

Instead of forcing Ben to throw, all he has to do now is hand off.

I just said we got the better weather between the games :) I didnt say anything about it helping the steelers or hurting them man.

I hope so. The Steelers stole one from the Browns already, let's turn the tables... Bc

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.

Hillis ran through us, and we have a better rush D than Pittsburgh.

Bad weather can't be a bad thing. Throws a whole lot of variables into the mix that would not otherwise be there. We need that in that game.

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.

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.

Just checked both forecast and Cleveland is getting 9 inches of snow starting early sunday morning with 50 mph winds in the mid 30's and our game is low 40's partly cloudy but windy as well. Hate to be a kicker in either game lol

The Mistake by the Lake lives on!

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.
