I hate that weather is even a factor. But I still think we win. Russell talked about it today in his presser, that he practiced and played in mighty cold weather while he was at Wisconsin. He grew up playing in the snow, and is used to it. He never wears a glove, and won't for this game. He mentioned how unusually large his hands are, giving him great grip. I also heard a guy on the radio talk about how Minny has a heater underneath the turf, which should bring the ground temp up to about 17 degrees even if the air temp is below 0. So the ground won't be ice bowl levels of concrete. The things I'm worried about: our most productive pass catcher, Baldwin, is from Florida and may not acclimate as well. I know Pete has the guys flying out tomorrow, so they'll have two full days to prepare. I'm also a bit worried about Beast Mode getting loose in his first game back. I worry about re-injury in such extreme conditions, not about his toughness. I still think we take 'em. I think Teddy Bridgewater's passing game will suffer big time in the weather, forcing them to lean on AP going right into our Run D. With Kam back, we should be able to stuff 'em. I hope!
