10 degrees is far too limiting. 4 teams have never played an outdoor game in that temperature, 12 other teams have only played 1 game.

Just for shits and giggles, the bears still finished 11th going 8-5 (in 48 years worth of football!) But again, 5 of the teams ahead of them have played 1 game and are 1-0.

Football isn't played in that cold of a temperature. Those are extreme outliers.
You are probably right that it is too limiting. I guess just cold weather is not really something that a team could lay it's hat on as being good at since in order for it to affect the game dramatically, it happens pretty rarely. Maybe the Steelers have something going from your original statistics.

When I think of teams that play well in simply bad weather, I think of the Steelers and Patriots and really no one else. Steelers pounded us in 2005 when we played at their place in the snow and Orton looked frozen. Urlacher got ran over into the endzone by the bus. Then in 2010, we got romped by the Patriots in that snow and wind game at soldier field. Both those games we had good seasons going so we can't use the poor team excuse there.

I did think the Bears would have been above 15th though.

Those plains states can have such dramatic temperature ranges. Can get hot as fuck in the summer and then really low pressure and bitterly cold in the winter at times.
No doubt, we were at the Cutler come back game in KC and it was warm as hell for a game in mid October

Actually, I'd like @bearmick s opinion on the OP
As would I. I value anybody’s opinions and try to take from them what I can. I know as a person who sat through most of those 13 games 10 or below I can say I would rather not have “bear weather”

Go ahead and dig up the data brothers. I'm eating brunch, I can't do literally all the work.

Not that important to me to do all that work. I never said you were wrong just giving a reason why your stats possibly show what they show.
