Possible Rain for KC at Oaktown

gh4chiefs · 10-30-2000, 02:10 PM

Check out the bands of low pressure stacked up in the Alaskan Pacific. The jet stream has been drifting them into the Bay Area for several days now. The storm door is open, so there is a strong possibility that our game will get rained on. The Bay Area is a mud-pie right now. The Oaktown turf gets mighty slow and sloppy when it rains. Any thoughts on what that would mean for the game?

I would dread the turnover problem, you guys are good at making us spit up the ball. A MudBowl wouldn't help us any. But a slow, slippery field might help to hold your long game in check. The Chiefs of the olden days would probably have an advantage in the mud. But now that you've switched to the long game, I'm not so sure any more.

I have to agree...the tables have turned...with Wheatly you guys would have the advantage in a mud bowl...Kaufmanm would be less of a factor in a game where he couldn't make his cuts...

But, if we can pass in the rain...then the advantage swings back to us...

I don't care what the conditions are, or how we do it, as long as we kick your guys' a$$es. Let there be not excuses. Football is like the US Postal Service, through rain, sleet, and snow you have to deliver.
