Just now, Zerovoltz said:
The defender 7 yards away?
Yeah
-
He wasn't faking a slide.
He wasn't juking.
He was bracing to truck the defender like he always does - and the defender never went for the hit - so Josh kept running.

BB to Big D?

Moving the game was 10000% the right decision.

Hard to tell because of the wind. Anywhere from one to two feet.

Doesn't Detroit host a game this weekend? Cleveland seems to be the best bet.
Detroit plays Sunday at 8. I think the Bills and Steelers could play in the same stadium Sunday at 1.
TV crews etc. are already there.

Did you create a burner account for this one circumstance or did you lock it up during the chilly pats game two years ago?
Truly a poo post.

Latest NWS forecast has increased highest snow totals from 24 to 36 inches.
This is not your average lake effect snow event

Does anybody have any idea what implications the State of Emergency has on the game?
One would assume it is an automatic postponement or relocation, right?Speculation, but I think a main reason for SOE is because there is a game. Additional resources will be needed to logistically make the game happen.

People will bag on politicians for declaring a SOE early, however this gives the area additional state resources to keep the roads clearer, safer, etc, therefore there is a higher possibility of both the game staying in Buffalo and fans being able to get to and from the game.
This is not your average lake effect event.

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=3SUAW

With all due respect I really don’t think that’s the issue. I believe the consideration is that of general public safety, not home field advantage.
Not sure I implied differently.
IMO, it would make the game a home game for the Steelers and the Bills would lose their home field advantage.
With all due respect, if you followed this thread I've been giving caution to the general public about this weather event since... the very first post.

Last year’s playoff game vs Cincy was played in a snowstorm and not moved. Why would they move this one?
No it wasn't lol
It was played in snow.

My news feed says there’s serious talk about moving the game to Cleveland. Are they saying the same back in WNY?
That report has been shot down, however that was prior to the forecast that came out this morning.
IMO, it would make the game a home game for the Steelers and the Bills would lose their home field advantage.
Steelers fans will be able to travel safely to Cleveland without a worry about the storm.
Bills fans would need to drive through the storm to get to Cleveland.

Not sure how many fans are going to bail, seems dangerous to go. This ph'n blows!
If this holds there will be driving bans throughout the region Saturday evening/Sunday.

Keep in mind this is from Saturday afternoon through the night Sunday however....
- The snow band will shift and not everywhere on this map (really focusing on WNY here) will be affected at the same time
- It is going to be windy as all hell, though, so there's a chance everywhere on this map may have white out conditions even if it is not currently snowing
- A majority of the people who travel to the game live within that dark red zone
- Orchard Park is right about where the .2" is on the 22.2" mark below Buffalo

Along with wind direction, the estimated high strength of the wind makes accumulation much more difficult to predict further out.

I don’t think the game will get moved but there will likely be local driving bans all over on Sunday. This has me thinking…
What’s the protocol if there is a driving ban in Orchard Park that is enacted Sunday morning?
I can’t recall there ever being a driving ban at the same time as a game.

Worth the listen if you're a weather geek.
Don sums it up in the tweet, though - Harsh game conditions a lock

Get a vet who has punted in the cold in the playoffs.
Need steady and reliable punts not low arcs and the possibility of a highlight-reel 80 yard punt
