Per Weather.com: It's gonna be wet on Sunday 10/27 v. ATL. Does this give us an advantage?

I would think a lot of rain would screw up our option game.

It's hard enough to execute all those pitches and drawn-out zone read handoffs without a slick ball.

We'll see.

This is high school and not even close to the speed and level of competition in the NFL, but back in 09 in a playoff game my school was playing in cold, muddy conditions. We ran the triple option almost exclusively and had at least 5 fumbles in that game. A slick ball/hands definitely had an affect on the outcome. So i'd say its a pretty reasonable assumption that the option game is harder to operate effectively in slick conditions.

I don't think zone read would be quite as affected as the pitch game, so I'd hope if it's a rainy game we stick to handoffs and minimize the pitches.RG3 has had a few slip-ups in the option game fumbling pitches in dry conditions if memory serves.

Could we slather BBanks with oil, and put some rubber mitts on his hands, and let him squirt around the field like a human pin-ball until he finds the end-zone?

[S.T.real,lights,out]

Sure it does. We are good at running the ball and ATL's run game doesn't worry me at all.

Even though I think that we will win this won just because the defense plays a great game all around, I don't believe the weather will play a factor in the falcons passing game. The game will be close throughout with us winning on a cundiff field goal.
