Steve25 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some of the folks in here, but I still find so much humor in the fact that people make definitive statements about a season several months away when they seem to still struggle to nail down the particulars of a forecast a week away, or in some cases even a few days. I get that there are signals you can look to that give a general idea for what to reasonably expect, but it's such a crapshoot. Meteorology is such a wild field of complexities and confusion.

If I accept that position, the HQ is technically in Arlington, but without getting too deep into it before anything is official, I'd expect a lot of my work to be in D.C.

Stormfly Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Considering the average person has little to no survival skills indoors without grid power for weeks or months in temperatures that low I don't see how it would be fun for many.

CAPE Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Bengals are legit good. Plus this might be one of those 'law of averages' games for the Ravens, both against the Bengals lately and the way they have won several games this season.

CAPE Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Congrats Bengals. DeCosta needs to get busy before the trade deadline. Ravens have gotten away with playing too many 'fill ins' with all the injuries, but the Bengals are more talented all around. Not sure what they can do about the poor tackling, esp by their linebackers. Consistently pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
