ColoradoBills Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 8 minutes ago, BlazinBill said: Couple more things here- 1) the Steelers are the type of team that are going to play us tough with or without the weather - they actually always do- just stop with the nonsense saying this will come down to a flukey play - it always could against them regardless 2) The weather is bad sure- it's also Friday - and yes projections put Buffalo possibly in the middle of some less than desirable conditions - it's also upstate NY - it could turn out to be 65 degrees and sunny- let's just fight the fight when it gets here And oh yeah- have a little backbone and Billieve - we have Josh F'in Allen For sure. Allen is 3-1 against the Steelers. That is the odds I give for the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 According to AccuWeather as of now they are calling for 55 mph winds and snow possibly measured in feet for the game. That's not just bad weather....that is extremely dangerous deadly weather. Heavy snow and 50+ mph wind =complete whiteout, can't see your hands in front of your face. If that forecast is accurate I don't see how they can even play the game in those conditions. 80,000 people on the roads to and from the game...some people are likely to die . Before you say I don't know about snow.... I grew up in S Buffalo and was 15 during the Blizzard 77. We went out in the whiteout and you literally could not see a thing. You would walk right into a tree or parked car before ever seeing it. When it finally cleared I went out the 2nd floor window with a shovel to dig out the front door. I also lived in a cave at 8000' ft in Park City for 2 ski seasons in the late 80s. The cave was just above town near the ski run, I'd wake up and ski down to the town lift on Main St. The rent was $0😉 I've been in many whiteout conditions...you cant even see where you are going and you definitely can't drive. This sucks....I hope they are wrong There is a chance that the heaviest bands miss Orchard Park but currently not looking that way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This is getting weird. We have people around the country planning on headed to the game, or already on their way who may get stranded by idiotic governing to wait until the last minute to be making these decisions. I am leaving to come up tomorrow and if they decide on the way to change the game to Monday... What the *****. What piss poor planning to suggest that it could happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats needed a lot of plays to all go their way and it was their lucky night. It happens. Its not like they were a bad team that year either Just drove the thruway back to roch thought I was in a wind machine with g force winds still raining but it is changing over to snow.

That literally was a storm of a century.. everybody who lived through the blizzard of 77 said this was even worse I had two straight days of 50 mile per hour winds... With Gusts up to 75 miles an hour... With non-stop snow for 2 days The chances are I'll never see another storm like that again Edited January 13 by Buffalo716 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I’m just pointing out that 47 souls passed away in snow merely 12 months ago—-point is, that there is danger having 70,000+ people stuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimee75 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I mean, it would really be THAT hard to just move the damn game to Monday? This is silly. If it's going to be as dangerous as some reports are saying, I don't get the stubbornness over this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 hour ago, Simon said: No, it is literally not “Officially, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm which contains large amounts of snow OR blowing snow, with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibilities of less than 1/4 mile for an extended period of time (at least 3 hours).” Link Sounds a lot like what they're describing is supposed to hit during the game.

WideNine Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 4 hours ago, SCBills said: I wouldn’t say it favors them, because we can run our QB.. but it probably makes it a coin flip game if passing is almost taken out of the equation. Not sure Cook is an ideal RB for this game, but we shall see. I hope he makes me eat crow because ever since Dallas, I haven’t been impressed with him at all. I have the same concerns with Cook dropping passes and ball security in the elements. Fingers crossed and I agree he seemed a lot less determined running vs NE, but they have a very good run defense. Trying to just let go of all the worries and just enjoy a B-Lo snow bowl game....trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if they are right it is a very dangerous situation thats true... which makes me think they will do as much as they can to make it safe for fans traveling if it stays in buffalo. and if they are right then its worst case scenario played out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go I’m bringing my cold weather camping supplies, food/water and dvds. I don’t see how they don’t move it to Monday if the forecast is what it is. Any way you look at it a lot of traffic will have to drive through the storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
