This may be first AFC Championship game in Pgh with bad weather since 70's

The prior games in 1994, 1995, 1998 and 2002 were all in unseasonably warm weather.

Dress warmly Corey and Tom.

1. Hmmm, The Pats just played in frigid snowy conditions.

You don't seriously believe this will be a negative for them do you? If anything it favors them because they've played in it so many times in the playoffs.

3. The Pats are used to playing cold weather games

.......against dome or warm weather teams.

What will happen when they play a team just as accustomed to snow games as they are?

6. It's not an advantage to either.

The weather isn't a factor at all in this game as it is in the NFC game. This game will be straight up. I like the Pats in this one but I'd rather face the Steelers in the Bowl.

9. And Pittsburgh isn't?

4. Its different in someone else's crib.

2. Wow, I had forgotten how many home AFC championships...

the Steelers had choked away... ;-)

[MikeG]

5. They won four of five in the 70s sparky. Howd your team do?

[trotsky]

8. Not too shabby, but that's beside the point.

I don't really have a horse in this race, I just don't want Philly to win the Super Bowl so if the Steelers can beat 'em, great. Just noting that the Steelers have indeed locked up HFA in the recent past and it hasn't done them a lot of good.

7. All I have to say is:

10. it won't change the result

and 20s is not exactly bad weather...Pats played the Titans last year, temp at kickoff was 4 degrees.

I'd prefer a gametime temp of about 40- that makes for a pretty decent game aesthetically. And probably fewer foot injuries for the winner.
