You were saying... looking like 8" and they canceled the game !

Agreed. Winds seem to be less severe than being reported. Maybe 20-25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. Snow on the other hand...will be an issue.

Is going to a sporting event considered necessary travel ? I've seen orchard park issue travel bans for less, it will be interesting what happens if they issue a travel ban right before the game starts. Will they play in an empty stadium ?

If the NFL were smart they'd move the KC game to 1 pm Sunday and move our game to Monday. That would solve two issues at once....

No. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.7672&lon=-78.7439&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical

Highly doubt the aftermarket buyers are steelers fans. I was on their message boards and plenty of them were reselling their tickets and they were all talking about how it was too dangerous to make the trip. More likely it's bills fans buying cheap tickets who otherwise could never afford a playoff game. I'm thinking inner city people, people who live close to the stadium etc.. I actually think if the weather was perfect there would be much more steeler fans. I think it's going to be super rowdy with some of the most die hard fans.

Someone is selling on ticketmaster section 134 row 38 for $160 each and that's after fees. Before fees they're $130 each. And that doesn't include the sellers fees. The sellers will probably net around $110 for each ticket ....

Why would she take a shot at Pittsburgh ? Why does she have to say anything? Come on now 😠

Yes it does. Look at the blue bars on the bottom. My estimate of 8 inches before the game may actually be low. It looks more like 12 inches.

Id be willing to wager money that the game gets rescheduled. If anyone wants to place a friendly small wager let me know. Looking at the NOAA hourly forecast it looks like about 8 inches of snow from 1 am Sunday to kickoff. And right at kickoff the band becomes more intense dropping another 8 inches from 1pm to 4 pm. Couple that with 30 mph winds and I don't have much optimism about the game being played Sunday.

Do you remember the storm last year when 50 people died . Or were you too strong as a human that your brain can't even remember those things?

It's too late to move the game to another city . If the weather is so bad that driving bans are put into place, then I think the only option is to in fact move it to Monday, hopefully in Western New York.

Reading the pats message board / reddit is just hilarious. They absolutely DO NOT approve of this move. Most fans wanted the organization to at least do their due diligence and interview other candidates. Many question what will be different under Mayo vs. Bill... ? Its still the same defense, and Mayo isn't an offensive minded. Some fans are even convinced that Kraft is on the verge of sending the franchise spiraling out of control.

The Cincinnati game was not played in a snowstorm.

Interesting! I was watching Don Paul and they've increased the snow prediction from 1-3 inches to 3-5. Winds also projected to be slightly faster. But yeah, it would be an easy DUB if it weren't for the weather conditions that's kinda my point. I'm just nervous this weather might neutralize the field. That's all

So with the weather forecast starting to look worse and worse, it got be to thinking.... If the bills lose to Pittsburgh and it is mainly because the weather was so terrible that it evened the playing field. What would the narrative around the new stadium be? It would mark two years in a row that the Bills were eliminated in part because of atrocious weather. Would more fans start calling for a dome. Not only does the weather neutralize the playing field, but fans simply don't want to go. Ticket prices have been steadily dropping. I can only imagine how expensive tickets would be had we been playing in a dome.

It's a completely ridiculous rule where the clock stops regardless of whether the penalty is accepted or not. Here it is the full rule: "The change approved Thursday adds a new line that simply says that the clock will now stop if the offense commits any accepted dead-ball foul at any point during the fourth quarter or overtime: If the game clock is stopped after a down in which there was a foul by either team, following enforcement or declination of a penalty, the game clock will start as if the foul had not occurred, except that the clock will start on the snap if: (1) the foul occurs after the two-minute warning of the first half; (2) the foul occurs inside the last five minutes of the second half; or (3) the offense commits a dead-ball foul during the fourth quarter or overtime that is accepted; or (4) a specific rule prescribes otherwise." I posted this in another thread after the game: "Seems like a silly rule that could be exploited. For example, if a team picks up a first down with 1:50 seconds left and the defense has 1 timeout left the game would be over as the offense could run the clock out. Instead , if after the player gets the first down the defense commits a personal foul the clock would stop ? And now the offense could theoretically get the ball back with about 25 seconds. Mind Blown"

This is exactly how I feel , but with Cleveland playing Houston in the first game of the week I won't really know who to root for at that point.

All the media is talking about is Kansas City and how cold it will be . But isn't the forecast for our game worse ? Sustained winds of 25 mph, gusts up to 50 mph and snow. I'd take the extreme cold over our mess.

Is this a good thing for him? He's still abusing women?

When we say a lot what do we mean ? If it were back in the days of Roethlisberger I'd say 50% steelers fans , but now I can't imagine they have much hope of winning. I'll take a guess and say 25% steelers fans.

The quote below by the victims aunt leads me to believe the murder was related to the game. "It was a senseless act," Skye said. "They just didn't want [the driver] hurting anybody else. It was just a game. It's a sport that's supposed to be you know, it's competitive, but there's no room for violence."

I think its funny that theyre trying to say it wasnt related to the game. Surely the NFL would want to push that narrative. Lets be serious ...It happened right after the game. The murderer surely saw the victim wearing bills clothing. I'd be shocked if it wasn't a miami fan that committed the crime. I think it's curious they haven't released any info on the suspect.

Good question.. my wife is actually a huge swifite and wants to go. Does anyone know which suite opposing players family/friends typically stay in? Legitimate question.

Has a bills fan ever murdered an opposing fan after a game? Florida people are ummm different. The culture they're fostering especially in South Florida is embarrassing.
