Yes, that's an advantage for the receiver to be able to get position on a rain soaked field. But the wet ball will make it harder to catch. Therefore, take advantage of the #1 rushing attack in the NFL!!! This would have been the one game, in that slop in Pittsburgh, where we should have tried to run it down their throats! That is the play calling!
Their receivers were dropping balls too...more than usual. We never really tried to get a run game going in the first half. In the 1st two drives, Morris ran the ball 5 times, Young once and there were 8 pass plays. Now the 2nd drive was a long drive with a number of dropped passes, luckily we still scored a TD. But, you cannot tell me the run wasn't working if there were only 6 run plays out of 14. It was never given a chance. It's raining...POUND the ball!
