    Wow. Talk about a crybaby move. And they are screwing over any fans who want to sell tickets.

    There's a difference between not doing it because you choose to and not doing it because you can't.

    I don't see it.  If people are just buying Titans season tickets to sell them to visiting fans then good on the club* for trying to limit transfers.  

    * as long as they keep the policy through next year and thin the list of people who just buy tickets to re-sell them.

    It wasn’t just getting a few inches.  They still would have had to score a TD with 20 seconds left or win it in OT.     
     

     

    He's talking Josh's slip on the 1 yard line against Tennessee.  No slip and Josh gets the TD and the Bills have home-field advantage.  There were 21 seconds left at that point.  I know it's been a while but we lost by 3 points, Josh gets the TD there and we are likely going up by 4.  Tennessee would have needed a TD with whatever time would have been left (21 seconds minus the time for kickoff).

    Not sure this is right thread but any idea on where one should stay in KC?  Is rental car needed?  Looks like stadium a good ways from airport and not in downtown. There less than 48 hours but would like to grab some bbq or hit any major site.  Is there a Bills backer club or place to go Sat night.  This will be a heavy weight fight.  Go Bills. 

    Join the Bills Backers of Kansas City facebook group.  They've got all the info for Saturday night.  Here's the main bit

    all this pats love is going to make it so sweet when we blow them out of the water tomorrow night....   Bills are winning this game by 14+ 

     

    The 5 coldest games in NFL history have all been fairly low scoring games with only 1 team winning by more than 7 points.  I'm not sure either team is blowing the other team out.


    Raiders vs. Browns (Jan. 4, 1981): -4 degrees final score 14 - 12
    Giants vs. Packers (Jan. 20, 2008): -4 degrees final score 23 - 20

    Seahawks vs. Vikings (Jan. 10, 2016): -6 degrees final score 10 - 9

    Chargers vs. Bengals (Jan. 10, 1982): -9 degrees final score 27 - 7 

    Cowboys vs. Packers (Dec. 31, 1967): -13 degrees final score 21 - 17 

  5. Somethings that make matters worse:

     

    1. Field house is closed due to covid, so no where to get inside and warm up pre game.

     

    2. No re-entry so you can't go to your vehicle around halftime and try to get 20 minutes of heat (yeah you'd miss some game time, but better to miss some than all)

     

    3. The Bills have never given fans spaces to take a break from the elements.  A few wedding tents with heaters, people aren't looking for 80 degrees but a few places with 50 degree temperatures would settle a lot of nerves.

     

    They should extend the security/ticket staff for another quarter and allow re-entry up to the end of the 3rd.

    But before November all of this was moot as you were not even allowed in at all....yet the Bills were getting excellent attendance numbers with no Canadians.

     

    Therefore, it's the weather, not the border. 

    Of course.  Ticket demand in Sept, Oct, Nov is much higher than Dec and now Jan, always has been.  I get multiple people asking if I have spare tickets in the warmer time of the year, no one ever asks me for a December game.

    Has something changed in the last week making it harder for Canadians to enter the US?  The US just opened the border for nonessential travel in November.

    Yes something changed in mid December.  We now have to do a PCR test in the US for trips under 72 hours in order to return to Canada.  I've got to do a $100 same day PCR test to go to the game Saturday night.... well to come home, but you get the idea.  According to the Bills Canadians make up around 10% of season ticket holders, so it's a factor.

     

    Also - if I happen to test positive on that PCR test I am stuck in the US until I get a negative test, so hotels, food, more tests.  The cost can add up.  I've waited too long for a home playoff game so I'll take the risk, but it's easy to understand why others won't.

    Question: How bad would it have to be for local public health and government leaders to step in and say, “No game” in these conditions, because of the threat to peoples welfare? Has that ever happened? I know the NFL rules the world, but at some point a greater concern would have to supersede them. 

    Well... a -37 windchill didn't do it

    And that's before we add in the $200 or so to get the impossible to book PCR test allowing us to come home.

    Off topic but - what's your plan for the playoff game?  The test has to be done in the US so we can't do it ahead of time.  I'm not finding a lot on the internet about places a Canadian can book a PCR test in the US.

    Am I missing something?

     

    People are sick and not going? I mean, you got airlines cancelling flights because crews are sick, here in Ontario we've got hospitals running into staffing issues due to staff sickness, trains being cancelled because of staff sickness... No one in my family had caught this in the last 21 months and then boom half of us went down over the last 2 weeks.
