Eagles_Legendz Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/43513/blizzard-to-rage-during-sunday.asp "The Eagles will host the Vikings at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field starting at 8:20 p.m. EST Sunday. During the entire length of the game, Philadelphia will be in the midst of a fierce blizzard with heavy, wind-whipped snow. The blizzard is expected to dump a total of 6 to 12 inches of snow on Philadelphia with the majority of that snow falling before the Eagles-Vikings game is complete. Sustained winds between 25 and 35 mph will severely blow and drift the snow. Passing and kicking plays may become difficult to effectively execute."

Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I still think the Eagles beat the Vikings. If the Giants beat the Packers, I will be watching with heightened interest with the weather maybe keeping the game closer than it would be.

Eagles_Legendz Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Local weather reports see Philly getting 10-20 inches now, with it dropping 3 inches an hour during the game with 30 mph winds. Could be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskin4ever Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 All I can hope for is that this blizzard slows down Vick. I'm in my fantasy championship against Vick. The other time I played him was that monday night game against the Skins. I was up 50 going into that game, and Vick scored 60. All I can hope is that this storm is payback. The Skins sure can't get any payback now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rskins91 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Though this won't help either team's offense, I believe this favors the Vikings more since the Eagles have more explosive weapons that may be hindered by the poor weather. Might make for interesting television. And damn, why is it that Minnesota cannot escape snow? First their stadium collapses because of it, then they play two games in frigid conditions with snow all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It won't matter, the Vikings are terrible. If I'm the Eagles I wear all whites(home team gets to pick I believe).Tarvaris could set an NFL INT record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Favre, if he decides to play. Hang it up, Brett! ---------- Post added December-26th-2010 at 02:10 AM ---------- ;8065179']I would not start anyone from that game. I have a choice between Vick or Rivers. For now, I'm going with Vick. And I also have McCoy as a starter on another team. Had Akers going on 2 teams, but opted to swap him out for another kicker. I could still see Vick and McCoy putting up decent numbers. And snow will probably be a factor in several games on Sunday. It is what it is. Have Brady going on one team, also. He's usually great in those conditions. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 After watching the Pats and the Bears, this should be fun. However I still expect a beatdown by the Eagles. The Vikings flat out suck and the Eagles are going to have their way with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
