bigK14094 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hurricane Delta scheduled to arrive in Tenn on sunday. This game seems at risk because of this....but, they could move it to Buffalo??? Doesn't matter though, a TV studio is a TV studio......oh wait, Tenn is letting in about 8k fans I recall, so its a stadium in Tenn. Still Covid risk also imho. We will see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I thought this game should be moved to Buffalo due the Covid situation. I don’t want the Bills anywhere near Tenn’s facilities or staff...who knows how many more are infected.

Lol hurricane delta in Nashville? We talking like 1-2 inches of rain and 20 mph wind? I’ll give you Tennessee is a huge covid risk not only because of the team but just the area in general. They’ve been business as usual for quite some time. But so have lots of places that’s no reason to move the game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 All the weather sites I have checked say rain is done saturday evening. Even if it was raining and windy, why would they not play the football game there? Plenty of games have been played with rain and wind. But again, Accuweather, weather.gov (national weather service) both show nothing wrong with game day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) You realize it won't be a hurricane by the time it reaches nashville right? Strong winds and rain favor the worse offense/passing game, so it benefits TN which is unfortunate, but they are not moving the game lol.

MAJBobby Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) First Delta will slow down once it gets into the Gulf. So the timing is dubious at this point. Additionally all forcasts I have seen about it down here in FL call for a Tropical Depression at most by time gets to Tenn, so nothing more than thunder storms. Also I think the Cone is wrong anyway. Watch his Bounce off the Yucatan and hang a right right into South FL, just like Wilma did that has the same characteristics as Delta Edited October 6, 2020 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather forecast currently calls for heavy rain in the morning tapering to showers in the afternoon. Winds only 5 to 10 mph. So I am not sure why they would cancel a game for that. Tennessee is nowhere near the coast so a hurricane will have lost most of it's wind by that point and will be mostly heavy rain. It won't even be a named storm when it gets there, just " remnants of hurricane Delta" Edited October 6, 2020 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thronethinker Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) According to NOAA Hurricane Center it will be a depression with rain. Despite Media flair, a depression is not a Hurricane, nor is a tropical storm. Game will not be cancelled. There will likely be rain and it may be heavy at times.

This is my concern. A sloppy field is a great equalizer in terms of how it plays. Wind is even more a potential game factor. Drizzle is one thing and a downpour is quite another.

TigerJ Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm expecting the game will take place. The wind will likely not reach severe levels. Conditions could be pretty miserable though.

I don't want the Titans anywhere near our facilities or staff! I trust the Bills to have a methodical operations staff who will go in there and clean the place up, make it safe for our guys while staying safe themselves. 8 hours ago, PaattMaann said: All the weather sites I have checked say rain is done saturday evening.

Current forecast on weather.com is Sunday 74 degrees, 90% chance of rain, 1/2 inch of rain, 5-10 MPH winds. Is that the "nothing wrong" on Accuweather and weather.gov? (I agree that rain and 10 mph winds are not atypical for a fall football game and 74 degrees makes the rain more bearable) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the Bills would send in their own crew to clean, disinfect, sanitize, and sterilize everything. Stay at a hotel and only show up for the game. Maybe get some mask for the face mask and make everyone wear a visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
