Mango Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, zow2 said: Alot of us have driven in these snow bands. One time I was driving from Williamsville to Ithaca. I hit the band a few miles after i got on the Thruway going Eastbound, after Pembroke. It was terrifying. The only thing that saved me was following directly behind a Greyhound bus, barely seeing his tail lights and going 10mph. I followed and drove in his tire tracks all the way to Rochester. When we got to Roch, out of nowhere the sky was blue and sunny and the snow machine turned off. I was sweating bullets and was so happy to make it. And this was just a snow band not 45+mph winds and a blizzard. So Getting back to the Bills game.. how in the world are they gonna put 60,000+ people out there in conditions like that?!? That would be insane. Take that drive, add the 45 mph wind, and start popping the 6 pack in the passenger seat. It’s a recipe for disaster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have no idea why this is complicated or drama filled. Major League Baseball deals with this all the time in the playoffs since they don’t play in the rain. Just move the game to Monday. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, SectionC3 said: And yet it still will be better on Monday than on Sunday. So what’s your solution? Bring 70+k people to OP, force the town/county/state to plow to get them out of there (which it did NOT do during the most recent major snow events to force people to stay off of the roads to allow for cleaning), and then deal with those people and others who decide to travel on roads that are marginally plowed? And, frankly, the reason so many people (47, IIRC) died in the last storm like this one is that many of them were out on roads and were stuck in cars during the teeth of the blizzard, which is exactly why, from a public safety perspective, this game should not be played here on Sunday. So it’s either roll the dice on Sunday, play it on Sunday (in Cleveland, apparently), or try it here or in Cleveland/Detroit on Monday. This. It’s nuts. Unless you’ve been in it, you don’t understand. Look, if there's a massive blizzard Sunday, they will cancel the game for Sunday. They won't play it Monday because of the massive blizzard Sunday. You can't dig out a stadium and all access to it overnight. Anyone who went through last year's storm would find this quite obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't play it Monday because of the massive blizzard Sunday. You can't dig out a stadium and all access to it overnight. Anyone who went through last year's storm would find this quite obvious. How much accumulation is there in this “massive blizzard?” Anyone who went through last year’s storm would know that there’s a difference between a mountain of lake effect snow (like Snowvember I and II) and perhaps a little less snow coupled with extraordinary winds. If there’s a mountain of snow (like, say, several feet in 24 hours) a Monday game here isn’t happening. But if the issue is a decent amount of snow on Sunday (like, say, a foot) coupled with tropical-storm force winds, then it would be reasonable to deem Sunday an impassable day on the roads and possible to clean and play on Monday. It wouldn’t be easy, and it wouldn’t be perfect, and there would be a ton of snow in the stands. But roads and lots could be cleared and that game could happen at 4p on Monday afternoon.

So many people who live here are cruising around in their little Hyundais or the like and they’re the ones who plant it in the snowbank. To be fair to little Hyundais and the like, it's really the "cruising around" part that's the issue, not the Hyundai per se 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Sort of weird they call it "Wild Card Weekend". Bills, Chiefs, Texans, Cowboys, Lions, Bucs are all playing this weekend. None of them are wild card teams. In reality, it's the 1st Round of the NFL Tournament. Could also call it the conference quarterfinals. Just thinking out loud.

Mango Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 One thing I didn’t really think of when it comes to moving the game is that both teams have likely game planned around running the ball 40+ times.
