Fred Slacks Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I wish this week we would go with 3 LB's and use Taron Johnson as a rover/Strong Safety. Keep Poyer deep. That would probably be our strongest tacklers on the field. I am not suggesting we move Taron to safety every week. But if we go 3 LB's Taron is still a better player than Hamlin. Find a way to keep him on the field. Play Elam and White on the outsides. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widescale synoptic snow Friday followed by heavy lake snow and strong winds gusting to 50 mph Saturday producing near whiteout conditions. Yeah... But there ain't 10 million people in the metropolitan area. I always said... For every 100,000 people every inch of snow is like 5x more than it really is. Wouldn't be bad if I and handful of others were the only idiots on road. Sunny and nice right now. First sun, no clouds in like over 9 days.

Mango Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 2 hours ago, SUNY_amherst said: play the Bears and Patriots games in Detroit for sure, because ya know, it’s winter so it’s cold. Cincinnati maybe that one happens as scheduled but let’s monitor that as it gets cold in Southern Ohio as well Jerry, nice of us to join you will all your new spare time. The issue isn't that the game can't be played in the cold. It is that the airports might be closed and there may be a travel ban. If the team can get in they will play. You wouldn't move it to Detroit because they are in the same lake effect ban. Moving to Cincinatti actually makes some sense. They are 4.5 hours down the road and playing out of town this weekend. Indy could work too. They don't play until Monday, but you have to flip the stadium on Christmas day, which sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano please. Discussion was about maybe going more 4-3 base instead of Nickel in attempts to slow down Fields and the run game. Milano and Edmunds are a given. 21 minutes ago, Fred Slacks said: I wish this week we would go with 3 LB's and use Taron Johnson as a rover/Strong Safety. Keep Poyer deep.

Their WRs should not require Safety help, especially in the conditions expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don’t care how they do it, just get out of there with a win and no injuries. I don’t care if the final score is 5-3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 i want to win and get the #1 seed, obviously. But that means 11 wins in a row to win the SB. That’s a helluva win streak to maintain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER DOT COM Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Make sure your cell phone is charged. If you live in western New York, that might be the only way you can stay updated with the game Saturday. Maybe get a battery powered AM radio too. Be prepared for a power outage.

Solomon Grundy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm more worried about Soldier Field. It's almost as bad as Ford Field as far as injuries are concerned. Hopefully everyone comes out of the game healthy. I'd probably sit Phillips and save him for Cincy. Let Basham play the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be happy with the explanation that it was “impossible” to play a football game in Orchard Park, NY where they’ve been playing football games for over 50 years How many times did they get 6-7 feet of snow? Want to know the answer? Twice. In 2014 and 2022. Guess what happened both times? The game got moved. Get a clue. Funnily enough coming from someone in Amherst where they don't get lake snow very often and usually escape with a few inches while many places get a few feet. How rich...got opinions on how to deal with it when he never has to deal with it. Edited December 20, 2022 by Big Turk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) 3 minutes ago, hemma said: Maybe a bus trip to Rochester, then out. This is not a Lake Effect snowstorm initially, this is a widescale synoptic snowstorm affecting a huge part of the country. Conditions in Rochester won't be any better. We do actually get large scale systems that bring heavy snow, not just lake storms ya know. We would probably need to drive a lot farther than would make sense to try and outrun it. The lake snows don't kick in until later Friday night and into Saturday and initially guidance has them effecting the Northtowns first(230-240 degrees) before dropping into the Buffalo metro area Saturday.
