Thread: Denver forecast for Broncos playoff game: 48 degrees

If the 10-day forecast for Denver can be trusted — and isn’t life simpler for the gullible? — Peyton Manning will wear The Glove out of preference in the Broncos’ second-round AFC playoff game on Jan. 12, not necessity.

According to The Weather Channel’s 10-day forecast for Denver on Jan. 12, the high temperature will be 48 degrees. The high should hit about the time the Broncos’ kick off at 2:40 p.m. It will be cloudy with a 10 percent chance of rain.

If it rains, no big whup. Manning has The Glove.

The lowest remaining seed, which could be the Colts, Chargers, or Chiefs.

Why only 10 percent chance of precipitation? I predict it will be raining... TOUCHDOWNS!

We'll see if it stays that way once we get into next week.

Man, that sounds good. Both because I think the team plays better when it's a bit warmer, but also because I don't think I could handle another game like in January. Once again I procrastinated and didn't buy any proper cold weather gear for the game. Not like you can just run into Wal-mart or JCP and pick up real cold weather clothes in Arkansas.

You may want to get here early, just in case. As the saying goes - if you do not like the weather in Colorado, wait 5 minutes and it will change.

Well, you could have run into one of those stores here in Denver and got some warmer gear... Walmart in particular is open 24/7.

I think that quote applies to almost all 50 states.

At this point I really think it's more home vs. road than cold vs. warm. Manning didn't look great last year, but he didn't really look bad either; his PR was 88.something IIRC. Let's face it, facing a playoff team on the road is tough in any weather, even tougher if you like to call and re-call audible right up till the snap, trying to be heard over 70,000 people screaming for your blood.

On top of that, Manning played so few cold weather playoff games before last year that he'd never put his tireless single-mindedness to finding a glove he liked and risking a seasons worth of touch and rhythm just so he'd be ready for ONE postseason game @NE. He's been playing at home in the cold for two years now, and seems to have adjusted pretty well. I'm more worried about his protection and our D than how he personally performs.

Way I always heard it was "wait 5 minutes or go 5 miles." Then again, I think only one state's subject to blizzards AND hurricanes.

I'm only coming up for two days, but I'm going to have a big suitcase. I'm planning for all types of weather.
