    "Governor Kathy Hochul today directed state agencies to begin emergency response preparations as lake effect snow and strong winds have the potential to create dangerous blizzard-like conditions off the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario this weekend. The Governor also released a video message to New Yorkers updating them on the latest forecasts and urging caution as the storm moves into New York."

    Ground crews will be prepared. Jeffrey Fowler with the Penn State Cooperative Extension works closely with grounds crews all over the world. He said the Bills crew has seen snow before.  

     

    "Armageddon could hit them and they wouldn't even know the difference," Fowler said over Zoom.  

    Chest thumping nonsense... we all know two games have been moved in the last few years because of weather.  Fill that stadium with 2 - 3' of lake effect snow and there is nowhere to move it to.

    You might want to look through all 18 pages of this thread. I'm seeing quite a few people beyond trembling in their boots and a couple that I think might have filled them already.

    Probably what's being unsaid here is that a lot of us are trying to figure out if we'd be able to make our 90 minute or 2 hour drives into Orchard Park safely and in time to make the game.  So it's a mix of how would the game experience be and can I even make it to the stadium.

    Is that 6” throughout the day or later in the day happening?


    Mine says 6" Saturday but most of that looks like it's really Friday night, so it could be cleared Saturday... but then again Saturday shows 55mph wind gusts... so who knows where the snow will actually end up... The accuweather link above shows even worse weather for Orchard Park https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/orchard-park/14127/daily-weather-forecast/2128285?day=3 

  5. Still way too early for accurate weather forecasts, but for conversations sake... would the game be played if this turns into a blizzard? 

     

    A while back I read that the NFL has been using data from the Tomorrow weather app (they apparently pay for the high level of data access from Tomorrow).  I downloaded the free version and it has fluctuated on the weekend forecast but right now they have it as 19.55 inches of snow and 24mph wind... hopefully that changes back to yesterday's forecast of about 2 inches of snow.

    If Bills fans are “scared” by this game I suggest you find another outlet for your entertainment.

     

    ....


    I don't think people are scared of the Steelers but I do think we are scared of the Bills, a team good enough to beat everybody, a team that can be bad enough to lose to everybody.   My thinking is this, as a team the Bills are gelling at the right time, and it's a team game, someone is going to make the big play at the crucial time.  No reason why this can't be our year.

    They are going to have to protect the ball.  Cook is going to get a lot of carries in this one and I hope they keep Fournette active.

     


    I can't see why they wouldn't in a game they may need to focus more on running the ball.  Fournette is a good 30 pounds heavier than Cook and it's all muscle.  I'd let Fournette batter them as often as possible, their D will be worn out in the second half.

    Baltimore is going to destroy them


    And we'll be getting the around the league highlights while in the stadium playing the pats.... it's going to be insane in the stadium on Sunday

    Will they even get lucky again and beat NE?

    Not a playoff team, even if they are.


    Philly away - lost in overtime
    KC away - won on the road in a tough stadium
    Dallas home - won in a blowout

     

    But lets yell the sky is falling because we had to fly to the West coast on a short week and squeak out a win

     

    This Bills team is jelling at the right time

    He was outside for over three hours in a cold rain, which for me is the worst condition.  I would much prefer 10 degrees and sunny, or 20 degrees and snowy.  The rain just soaks in and chills you to the bone.  I'd be surprised if a lot of guys didn't get something affecting their health.  

     


    I was outside in it for 10 hours and I'm more than twice his age 😇    Kids today....

    Both of my kids at college and many of their friends over the past few weeks have been hit with a nasty cold-flu like illness.  They all tested negative for flu, covid, strep, mono, etc...  Apparently just a nasty virus.  I don't know if that's what is hitting NFL teams but it's not necessarily Covid.


    Mom's long term care has had 5 outbreaks since fall and every one has been norovirus... and if you get the norovirus you may end up wishing you had covid, nasty bugs going around this year.
