It has been colder than nuts here in the northeast. We are in a midwinter cold snap and that pattern is forecast to hold in the coming couple of weeks. Game time temps should be in the 20's or low 30's. Any precip. Would probably be snow if there is any. The Cards better find their running game in a hurry. At least it will be good experience for the NFC Championship game @ the Meadowlands.

With this team, I dont think temperature is much of an obstacle, but if there is snow or rain in the forecast, this team better develop a running game quick!

Actually, rain or shine, it's more a matter of crossing the Mississippi... When they do, they lose...

:bang:

Well then, tell the pilot to just fly around it! Just swing through the Gulf of Mexico on the way to Phily. Problem solved.

Maybe the Rams will move to East St Louis so we could have one win a year east of the big muddy

I'll be at the game....almost got talked out of wearing my jersey...due to the abuse I've read about...having beer dumped on, food thrown at...and overall rude behavior.

I'll deal with it...I might tell my wife to wear something neutral...as I'll lose it if someone tosses a drink on her.

It's going to be cold no matter how you look at it...I hope we are not sitting in a snow storm...as it'll be tough to see the players and we'll be freezing our rear off.

Anyone else going get in touch with me and let's see if we can connect before or during the game. It'll be my first and last cold weather game.

We do every home game and one away game a year.

I hope it's your first time on Philly because there is NEVER a good reason to go there twice in a lifetime! :) Just kidding have fun!

You are a tougher hombre than me.

Bitter cold and snow and outdoors for hours at night among denizens of the netherwold in hostile territory with no weapons and no air support and no hope of rapid extraction!

Just checked the Thanksgiving Day forecast- mostly sunny high in the upper 40s. Even with some cool down in the early evening, I'll take it.

OTOH, it would be too mild for Neon Deion. It's kind of fun seeing him freezing to death on the NFLN set. :)

It's not geography, it's the internal clock. When they play three hours early, they turn the ball over. Hopefully by the time they have to travel east in the playoffs, it will be all afternoon games.

The Thanksgiving game will be at night, so the time change shouldn't be a factor.

Exactly. More importantly, if they take care of buisness at home Sunday and avoid turning the ball over (or giving up points due to stupid penalties at the exact wrong time) in Philly, they probably won't see any AM games in the east come playoff time.

The area got an inch of snow yesterday. My fam tells me it's bitter cold.

FWIW, I went to an Eagles-Cards game SOLO back during the Vet days. I didn't get any hassle as a woman, but I didn't wear a jersey, only a red shirt. I also sat in the lower level, not higher up.

I think it's gotten better. Having a court, judge and jail at your stadium helps to combat idiocy. :)

ARZ, please be careful. Luckily a lot of things have changed since there was a jail in the basement, but the fans are still the fans. I really do wish I was going, but the 8pm start was just too much for me to fight with given all the time those clowns will have to get liquored up. My wife just wasn't having it.
