Brutal NE Weather Could Cause Another Post Season Disaster for Pats

**Maverick Hiker** · 01-13-2012, 02:11 PM

The forecast for Foxborough on Saturday Night is a low of 9 degrees.

The general feeling is that the Broncos can't beat the Patriots in a shootout. However extremely cold weather, often means lower scoring games as it is harder to pass the ball. Also would favor the Broncos running attack with Tebow and McGahee.

Low scoring, close game would probably work to the Broncos advantage.

Brady and the Pats haven't had much success in cold weather the last two times in the playoffs. Last year it was 30 degrees when they lost to the Jets 28-21, after destroying them earlier in the season.

In 2009 the Pats lost to the Ravens at home in the playoffs 33-14, and the gametime weather was 20 degrees.

I'm thinking the Broncos might just pull this one off and the winner of the Ravens-Texans game would therefore get the AFC Championship game at home.

In the name of Tebow, the most merciful, the most compassionate...

I hope it happens.

I cannot imagine the frenzy at M&T if Denver wins that game.

would be sooooo awesome. Ravens did it. Jets did it. Maybe Broncos can do it too. All the pressure is on the Pats to win a playoff game since it's been 3 years.

Maybe the NFL will come up with another new QB rule for Tom Brady this year.. i.e....the tuck rule during the snowy playoff game against the Raiders

Yeah, a couple of years ago Brady and company went to Chicago in a snow storm and Brady ended up throwing for like 400 yards. Cold weather won't hurt them.
