Listening to WGR this morning and Sal said that yes, it is now expected to be 40% chance of precip. Rain and snow early in the day. Wind still the same I think
Yes, high of 38, 42% chance of rain. Most notably, wind forecast is down to 8 mph. Gotta like that.

What has science ever done for society?
Well, it has kept Covid-free, so far. So, there’s that.

There is lots of data out there, regarding *POTENTIAL* Northeast Climate Models. Get off of your lazy ass, and look for them.
Yes, there is a great deal of data out there, that projects several different futures. One presidential candidate in 2000 predicted we would all be drowning by now. Looking further back, I remember data projecting the coming ice age,

but please, impress me again by typing the word “science”.

Zero evidence to suggest this but it would certainly be time to silence the critics once and for all.
I actually think there is a good deal of evidence to suggest the Bills can win comfortably in NE.
With the exception of one run (which certainly mattered) the Bills handled NE’s run game just fine. The Bills generated multiple, high level opportunities to win the game, against the wind, in the 4th quarter. We were better and simply blew it. It took a perfect storm (figuratively and literally) for us to lose to them.

I live outside of Boston and I hate this as well. Sadly, the 13 win team we were last year seems to have disappeared and we seem to be back to playing like a team that can't get the job done - the bigger the importance and hype of the game, the harder we fall. On paper we should have handily beat NE twice but we lost once at home and I fear the current team isn't going to fare significantly better in NE - it's painful living here under these conditions...
I am forever optimistic. May you and I both (along with all Bills fans) have a very Merry Christmas.

Living in Boston, the local narrative goes like this:
Hey, your quarterback (they don't even know his name) is pretty good! Last year happened because of all the COVID opt outs and it was our first year without Tommy. Now we're back and your Bills are back where they belong. You guys, with all your enthusiasm, are cute.
Of course, if NE sweeps us, there is nothing I can say in response.

Jesus Christ. Are you serious?
Jesus Christ, yes.
I didn’t question climate change or global warming. I asked if the poster had any real information to back his/her claims of long-term weather predictions (there currently are none) for Orchard Park, where the stadium will be built. That is a legitimate question. Which, by the way, has not yet been answered.

Updated forecast from Boston NWS
Sunday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 39. Northwest wind 9 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
This forecast would be perfect for Allen with his arm strength. Not too windy, but just enough to mess up Jones. Also, above average temps for this time of year with some sun. No excuses if this is the forecast Sunday.
Just an average December day.

is nasa reputable enough for you? Can we go back to discussing the Bills new stadium please?
https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
The current warming trend is of particular significance because it is unequivocally the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over millennia.1 It is undeniable that human activities have warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land and that widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere have occurred.
Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.
I didn’t question climate change or global warming. I asked if the poster had any real information to back his/her claims of long-term weather predictions for Orchard Park and the deterioration of concrete at Highmark. Neither question, BTW, was answered by your Google 101 cut & paste. The poster, not me, brought these items into the conversation.
Sorry to have stepped into your religion. But no, I will not conform my posts to your hyper-sensitive reading limitations.

Science is true whether you believe it, or not..
Build it, underground.
So, as per the poster’s assertions, we know that Buffalo will have a wetter climate? I have not read any geographic-specific weather predictions associated with climate change. I also have not read anything about Highmark’s concrete (due to being saturated?) degradation. Those were the central pieces of my question.
But, because you type the word “science” in your response, I am supposed to bow down to your faux intellect. Science IS about asking questions, not thought suppression.

This thing needs to be built for two realities, for what things are going to look like 40 years from now.
1) Climate change / global warming. Wetter and warmer. More weather extremes. More rain and snow.
2) The addition of another week to the NFL season to bring it to 18 weeks, and possibly a second bye week if the league is smart wrt giving players rest and allow for changes in scheduling as COVID looks like it will become an endemic thing. This pushes the season into late February.
3) The concrete from the renovation just 10+ years ago is already failing. The weather in the region just beats up things that left in the elements. Plastic seating gets ☀️ and bitter cold and gets brittle. Heating elements in chairs break down. Turf lifespan is reduced.
4) If they’re already planning on putting coverage over the seating to protect fans from weather, that will require much of the structure that a retractable roof needs.
When you’re building something this big and rare, build it right.
Can you provide more info for the bolded to let us know these significant statements are factual?

You know what I get it. I've played sports at high levels throughout my life, rugby, not Football, but man even if it takes getting a penalty do something. Diggs reacted enough to get his hands out to look for a call, he could've done something else at that point too, no?
I understand what you’re saying. But, you are mistaken with a failed analogy. I played rugby for (f***, I’m old) 30 years. With one official for 30 players on the field, rugby relies on player enforcement. That doesn’t work in the NFL. Seven referees and video review sees and calls everything. Diggs can’t rake the defender. It is a different reality.
All that said, the rugger inside me wishes Diggs had stomped his sorry @$$.

Oh good, another outrage thread. Could we have some more, please?

I don't have a problem with this at all. If anything, it shows that the Pats are savoring the victory because they respect us. If the Bills need any extra emotion for 12/26, all they need do is look in the mirror and think about execution.

Neither of us really wanted to go to a MNF game tbh - she usually goes to other games and semi roots for the bills. But we couldn't go in 2019, then there were no fans in 2020 so she hasn't seen her team play since the October monday night game when Buffalo had Derek Anderson in. That game was decided in like the first
Honestly I know i won't get to sit down to start tailgating til like 530 to 6, so its just all jammed up and its pitch dark trying to set up and put stuff away. Cold and windy. Oh well.
Before moving to Boston, I was a season ticket holder for 11 years and hated Sunday and Monday night games. I wouldn't get to bed until 2 a.m. At my age, I couldn't recover until Thursday. Give me Sunday at 1:00 every time. That's Buffalo football.
I hope y'all have a great time tonight! 😁

Boy I hope you are correct BUT in a past few games, Belichek/Josh McDaniels has been able to key on and isolate Tremaine, largely give him looks where he hits the wrong hole wrong direction.
It will be fun to watch. Normally, I watch the Bills play while sipping a glass of bourbon for enjoyment. Monday night, I will be sipping it (or two) medicinally, to prevent a heart attack.

Tremaine Edmunds
Ability to diagnose and fill run lanes, and not make every tackle 7-10 yards downfield
Ability to diagnose and fill the short passing lanes in the middle, as we know Mac Jones will want to hit Meyers and the TE's in those areas
Ability to diagnose all of the misdirection and screen plays, since we can anticipate McDaniels using our aggressive downfield rushes from DE's against us
I have always been, through the TBD debate, an Edmunds supporter. With the way the year has gone, we are in a bit of a jam. While not insurmountable, the Bills have serious work to do over the final weeks. Defensively, especially after losing White, I think Edmunds is the guy who can, and will, lead us to dominance.

Just to share the rivalry love, this is from WEEI in Boston:
