SoCal Deek Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 By the way, my iPhone has updated the Sunday weather forecast to windy, but no snow at any point during the day, let alone at game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get 2 inches here in Cincinnati, they close the schools and there is a run on milk and eggs at Kroger. Here in Atlanta they've closed the schools with no snow on the ground just because the forecast called for snow the next morning. Often it never came and schools were closed anyway.😆. And of course the same run on milk and eggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 11/14/2022 at 12:29 PM, Greg S said: It looks like it will stop sometime Sunday. I wonder if the league would move it to MNF. They have done it before with the Jets - Bills from a few years ago. Gives the area a chance to clear the roads and for people to clear their driveways. Maybe the game gets moved to Detroit. A sort of plus for us since we play there four days later on Thanksgiving. Less travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The first thing everyone thinks about when the hear “Buffalo” is snow.

Unless it is very windy, throwing the ball is highly effective as the WRs have the advantage of knowing where they are going and potential for big plays due to slipping and falling. We had quite a few snow games with the Kelly era Bills that were air raids. The wildcard playoff game against Miami for one. EXACTLY! Jim Brown only scored once here: The passing team won...

That would be a tough call to make before any snow has fallen. Could look pretty silly if the actual snowfall ends up being less than expected.

Toss in officials, TV crews, referees and fans and you can see why earlier is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I think it gets played at home, the worst of it supposed to be over by Saturday and the band is supposed to shift to the north. The biggest problem will be fans getting to the game, and players/officials....but it's not something that has never been done before. The actual weather over the stadium isn't supposed to be terrible on Sunday....basically windy and cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
