Manning - In starts with game time temp under 40 degrees

**cealex1223** · 01-08-2013, 09:24 PM

Heard today on 105.7. Manning is career 7-7 in regular season, 0-3 in playoffs (7-10 overall) in games started outdoors with game time temp of less than 40 degrees. I wonder if his age and all of those years in dome play will embrace a start this weekend with temps in the teens?? More INT's than TD's in those games too.

Wow. Very interesting. Thanks for the post. Supposed to snow too!

That ball is going to be hard as a rock and difficult to grip.

**cealex1223** · 01-08-2013, 09:36 PM

We can only hope. Maybe the Ravens run all over the broncos and they'll need manning to throw in order to keep them in it. I could see a 21-16 game won by the Ravens.

Manning is also 1-3 at home in playoff games after a bye week.. The one win was the infamous Ed Reed PI/Ed Reed INT-fumble game.

Manning's stats in 14 regular season games under 40 degrees:

In the 3 playoff games under 40 degrees:

64/120 for 612 yds, 1 TD / 7 INTs: QB rating of 46.25

The 3 playoff games (all losses) were: 41-0 at Jets; 24-14 at Patriots; 20-3 at Patriots.

A sloppy game always benefits the underdog.

Hell, a sloppy game would have benefitted us even if we weren't underdogs, based on how streaky we are.

Manning has been wearing a glove now for weeks although he can't practice in the cold since it's fairly warm in Denver now. Saturday will be much colder than it has been in a while which is good. Right now the forecast is a high of 22 and low of 10. The Raven's bench is fortunately in the sun so the offense needs to keep him on the cold shaded bench with sustained drives. Being a southerner his record suggests he's a wuzzie for the cold.

Thx for posting, I was trying to recall the stats from memory, so this is great. I like our chances.

That is correct. Wont get cold til Friday. No way to prepare for cold that hasnt arrived yet. I think from game film, that Pollard and Ellerbe back with Ray calling signals instead of Bynes is a huge upgrade. I expect a lot of blitzes with those 3 back from injury. Denver never plays well in cold weather for some reason, nobody can figure why out it here. It's a pretty big concern with some knowledgeable Bronco fans. His record in cold and playoffs stand by itself. It will be a close low scoring game, turnovers will determine the winner.

Wonder if Frankenneck will wear a NECKWARMER.

Local weather guys reporting it will be 10-12 degrees at kickoff. Love it. Manning being fitted for a parka.

Are you guys totally ignoring what the cold will do to Flacco's passes? I seem to remember he likes to heave the ball deep a couple of times a game. Is he gonna have the same accuracy with the heavy ball? If you don't think the cold will affect the Ravens also, you're more delusional than I thought. What about the Elevation? Did you forget about that? Don't kid yourself - unless the Ravens force beaucoup turnovers, they don't have a chance, and you know it.

And in those 3 playoff games, he played for inferior teams as heavy underdogs on the ROAD!

On Saturday, his team is a heavy favorite at HOME!

I don't think anyone here "knows" that, and please excuse RAVENS fans for finding legitimate reasons to be optimistic about the RAVENS chances this weekend.

Don't have a chance? Shuttttt up.
