Worrying about rain is such a pansy mindset…seriously, it's embarassing. STOP. | Page 2

This is why they call us "whiners" IMO. Last I checked, both teams always have to play in the same conditions (and at the old 'Stick in Dec-Jan during an El Niño winter, it was always a slogfest mudbowl). Discuss.

Yeah, it's gotten worse with recent generations…that, along with too many people, traffic and people's driving skills (rain or no rain) in CA.

They sure play pretty bad in it. Consistently over time too.

Would have thought OP would love rain, opens up the chance to step outside and yell at clouds.

The concern was that it would equalize the game more than a good weather game, which was true. It still wasn't as big of a factor as the Browns DL dominating the Niners OL, or the injuries to Deebo and CMC.

Your QB needs at least 10 inches to effectively handle the wetness.

This is a silly thread. Rain is an equalizer. And as a fan of the team that is going to be the favorite in virtually every game we play, I would rather not have an uncontrollable factor close the talent gap, when it wouldnt exist if it was sunny.

Not sure why OP thinks that is fans "whining" or it being wrong/"pansy" to prefer sun.

Whiners rhymes with niners. That's it. Never was more or less, as simple minded as it can be.
