God bless you man. I get where you're coming from and appreciate the WWE-style mic drops 😂

 

Before opining on extreme winter weather, people should write their age, mile time, and whether they still live in WNY or have bailed to sunny tax shelters. I think there's just a very wide range of abilities and experiences represented in this conversation. But like you said, everyone should be able to make a personal decision on how to approach this.

I actually think if the Bills play Monday that we should be a Monday all the way to the AFCCG. 
 

I really dislike 5 day vs 8 day rest for KC or Cleveland. I think the extra day is crucial. 
 

 

Only reason I wouldn't think it gets moved to Monday is I'm not sure the networks would want to be splitting eyeballs for viewers since their is already a game scheduled for this Monday.

I’d expect a change in date/time to be done early this morning if happening.  Kinda hope for Monday 1:00, but 4:00 seems to be the earmarked time.

 

I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff in my life when it comes to winter weather.  Put myself at risk, and others.  Both at a young age and pretty recently.  Not looking forward to going tomorrow.  May not go if it’s as bad as some forecasts.  I know I could drive and be just fine tailgating and sitting in the stands.  It’s the other idiots causing accidents, getting stuck that concerns me.

I wonder what your troll user name was prior to you changing it.  I bet you changed it after you cleaned all the poop off

It would be justified if the Chiefs decided they weren't using heated benches or any other sideline warming devices.

 

I'd go out and buy a new computer or a smart TV to be able to watch the fish flash freeze.

 

LOL

 

Indeed, but I'm not sure that heated benches will be the delta for the Fins.  

 

I mean let's think about this.  I'm thinking of sitting in a football uniform on a heated bench at minus 30 Windchill. 

 

Yeah, no!  

 

What a siht-show this weekend is already.

Doing it morning gives better light for drivers but less time for snow shovelings and road cleaning.

it’s not just putting a few people at risk.  It’s looking like 75,000 or so who will all need to travel during winter storm advisory

As a six decade long Bills fanatic I simply don’t understand this macho nonsense. Playing in the elements does NOT help our favored Buffalo Bills! If people are dying to stand shirtless in the storm they’re more than welcome to go stand out on their driveways all day tomorrow. Knock yourselves out! But if/when the Bills lose this game and see their season come to a premature end over a stubborn desire to see people standing in a snowstorm this franchise, and some of its fanbase, will have nobody to blame but themselves.

Or maybe it was you who changed their under name name after washing off all the poop.  Or were you the guy who washed all of the poop off of him?

Yep, forget about how much you like or hate extreme winter weather. It’s not about you. The best chance for the Bills to win is if weather allows the better team to do their thing. Handicapping both teams helps to level the playing field, and I don’t want any of that. A home playoff game should be played at home, even if it MUST be put off a day. 

 

Having said all that a thousand pages in, I hope this turns out to be a big bag of nothin’.

I joined this message board this season, thanks. Seems like a good time so far, except for the chronic safteyism. Go easy on the conspiratorial thinking, save some energy for handwringing.

 

It's an entirely reasonable thing to ask snowbird retirees to sit this one out and let the young people of WNY handle this storm, as they always have.

Irish Coffees

 

 


There was time you could bring a thermos and/or a duffel bag of blankets, food, etc. 

 

Those games were a lot of fun. That said the warmth of consumer jackets and snow pants have gotten a lot better.

 

I have a survival suit that I swear by for cold games, snow removal, etc. It’s also a certified flotation device if you happen to do any water activities in cold weather. 10/10 highly recommend.

LOL

 

That was the dude that waived to the police chopper that he was alright while lying in that stadium hole, then flipped them off.

 

His only charge was trespassing apparently.   LOL

 

Only in Buffalo.  

 

The new pricing structure will remedy that.

This week gets wonky. But I think weather forces their hand. 
 

But the divisional and conference games? I don’t think there’s a Monday night scheduled. 
 

I think the biggest issue could be if ABC has any rights over the term “Monday Night Football”. The occasional emergency probably goes by without a hitch, as long as there is no overlap. But it likely becomes legally tricky if CBS is airing Monday Night Football and ESPN/ABC has nothing.

What brand is it?

 

I was thinking of either going to the game or launching myself at the intakes for a float down the Niagara River.  

 

Leaning the river.

That sounds as if it's going to be postponed too Monday. 

 

3 p.m.  

 

Would be perfect.  

 

No doubt that the lawyers are involved with the lawsuit implications.

Waiting for someone to go over the falls in a sealed orb ball with oxygen tank.

Come on tho, we were just talking about panzees.

 

We don't need no stinkin' sealed orbs or oxygen tanks.  

 

My thinking is that the result would be the same, just much quicker in the river ride.

They can.  They did during Covid.  And it's less people that would need to be there.  Won't need ushers or concession people, a lot less security.  Won't need to clear the parking lots.  

 

Just wish a decision comes soon.  I'd rather start planning my Monday than attempt the trip out tonight to find out the game has been moved or switched.  


Move the game to the field house.  
 

You’re welcome.

May as well turnoff the computer if Monday at 3pm is your proposed option.

can the bills be the icebergs, the Steelers be the titanic, the chiefs be the titanic passengers, and the ravens be that little sub, with Kyle shanahan, and Brock purdy riding in it?

 

So in this scenario the Dolphins would be............ dolphins?

Thanks for the tip and helping me confirm my suspicions that @Milanos Milano is tbd legend IronMaidenBills/AraizasCurse.  Build a terrible rep- change name and start over hoping no one recognizes. 
 

meanwhile-  Araiza is still out of a job
