I’m sorry. We’ve already been told that unless the forecast comes from somebody in West Seneca, Hamburg or someplace closer to Orchard Park it can’t possibly be accurate. 😉

Somebody has probably asked this but don’t they have to go through the motions of interviewing candidates?

Huh? The game would be in the afternoon

Monday is a Holiday. I cannot imagine a more opportune solution. Play the game at 1pm the next day. Problem solved.

Dreamers gonna dream. 😁

It’s a football game! This is NOT a life or death event. State of Emergency? You’ve gotta be kidding me. Heaven forbid people need to get to a hospital or fire/ambulances need to get to your house! Geeeez!

Read my comment above.

That’s probably true, but not everyone. What somebody well said a few comments up the page is that NOBODY would/should go about planning an outdoor event in these conditions. Either the day or venue would be changed for EVERY OTHER such event ( wedding, concert, convention, etc.).

People always ask architects about this. It really doesn’t work. Codes change. You’d end up wasting a ton of money on foundations, etc, only to find out that they longer ‘calc’ under the new Code. It’s generally easier to build a new independent structure over the top of the old one, like that did in Miami.

Thank you Mr Commissioner. 😉

Oh come on. You don’t think that ALL outlets have access to the local models? Of course they do. Now, that doesn’t mean they’re going to rely on them but I guarantee that they have the internet.

I’m curious as to why you think that all outlets don’t have access to the internet. Does Donn Paul (whoever that is) have a REALLY tall stepladder facing west?

If I’m the Buffalo Bills I’d rather play the Steelers on a neutral site, preferably indoors, when my roster is clearly stronger than Pittsburgh’s as opposed to having something as fickle as weather serve to level the playing field.

No personal attack implied.

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.

My news feed says there’s serious talk about moving the game to Cleveland. Are they saying the same back in WNY?

It’s not his leg strength. But….he appears to have developed a serious slice in his stroke. I’m no kicking expert but I sure hope he’s working with someone who can help him fix that.

What this actually reminds me of is the Comeback Year. The Bills looked like they’d missed their window and had an injured starting quarterback but a miracle comeback against the Oilers propelled them to their third straight Super Bowl coming out of an AFC that wasn’t at a high point.

Let me explain this again. These type of walk throughs are VERY easy to create. Once the Architects complete the computer model of the stadium they can literally select any path you’d like to move around inside the model. The only post-production added to the path are the people, trees, etc (known as ‘entourage’ in rendering vernacular). With that said, why the Bills have chosen not to release any is beyond me. The only thing I can think of is they’re trying to oversell the interior finishes until all the construction contracts are finalized. If they’re going to cut corners at this point in the process it’ll be in the finishes.

Heat lamps? We used to walk uphill both to and from the Rockpile!

I’m guessing that without the streaming exclusivity ($) on the game the NFL asked the players to cut back on the number of balls used. Every little bit helps!

So if I understand the pattern, NFC teams would be eligible to host an international game because next year they each have an extra home game. (Jacksonville being the obvious exception.)

The writing was on the wall when the camera caught him on the sideline of the last Bills game without the hoodie. 😳 That was not a good look!

That’s all logical, but whether intentional or not, there shouldn’t be ANY advantage given when you commit a penalty….especially when it’s been declined. And for what it’s worth, the NFL shouldn’t be in the business of creating close finishes.

Well said Shaw, and I’d ad the core problem is that as the rule apparently stands the trailing team is incentivized to purposefully commit a foul in order to stop the clock. That’s obviously a problem for player safety.
