Good football weather if this holds up.

Forecast has changed to an expected high of 52 degrees and windy conditions. Still no rain though.

Could be a tough day for the kickers.

Tough day on passers too. Advantage Bills who have better runners.

I honestly think this wil be an "old-school" game. Lots of three-and-outs. Lots of running the ball nowhere from both teams.

My prediction: which ever team gets the best performance out of their kicker and punter will win. I hope Rackers can repeat last week's performance.

The Bills have yet to score a rushing TD this season. Also, the Cards are playing really well against the run of late, but so has Buffalo. I dont think that McGahee is qualified yet as a "better runner". IMO

Maybe in Madden 2005 player ratings and in the media's collective mind but not in terms of production on the football field.

According to footballoutsiders.com, the Bills are 24th in rushing, a whole three spots ahead of us.

Our run D is #1 by the way.

The Bills run game is a myth is just like their pass defense.

The run scoring defense is number 1 as the Cards have not allowed a rushing TD.

In the yards per game rushing defense Cardinals are ranked 20th at 118.2 ypg.

That YPG rushing defense is kinda misleading though. The D-line was still getting it togethor when we faced Faulk etc so they ran all over us.

But it seems to be a different story now. We may have given up 100 yds intotal over the last three games recently.

WE practiced

in 50+ degree weather, and and rain this week. I think we're up for the "weather" challenge. Watch out bills, the"BIG RED THUNDER" is rolling into town. That's the stormy weather you better worry about. There won't be any S.F. debacle this time.

We've given up less than 60 rushing yards per game on average the last 3 games.

still forecast for a temp in the 50's and windy conditions (25 - 30 mph gusts), plus a 30% chance of rain showers.

The closer we get to Sunday, the worse it looks.

If we can't perform in adverse conditions, then we do not deserve to win. An obsession as to weather conditions is a suggestion that we are not capable of adapting......hell, 50 degrees and wind and MAYBE some rain is not like sub zero temperatures with a wind chill of- 20. It is only October for crying out loud!

Not obsessing nor implying that we will not be able to perform in not so very adverse conditions. I would bet you that Dennis Green is paying attention to the weather forecasts though.
