Barely 6 inches from what I am seeing at Orchard Park. Fucking Big Grocery!
That is like Phoenix, Dallas and Miami hitting 100 degrees in summer. Like San Fran getting fog.
What a crock. I hate waiting!

You're missing the big scoop. Snow miser has them all bought off and bet on Buffalo.

Seems to me that this was the Governor's call, not the NFL's....and....weather will still be bad on Monday, will still equalize some. I don't like it either, but let's not bedew about it.

That gives us one less day to prep for Baltimore but luckily the Steelers know them pretty well. So that kind of helps a teeny tiny bit. It is better than having to play a team we have not played in the last year or two.
I guarantee you we will play them Sunday now. They will not make the winner of our game play on Saturday.

There's bad weather and I have to concede there is unrealistic weather.
The issue isn't play of the field it's fans getting killed or having heart attacks trying to get in and out.

I wonder if the NFL will put Pitt @ Balt on Sunday primetime even though that soft piece of shit Harbawl complains to the league about Primetime Pittsburgh.

It's not unrealistic if this were 1974.
However, in litigious post-America there would be millions in damages if they did not postpone.

Gotta say...much as I hate this, I think it was the responsible thing to do. And....if played tomorrow, and Steelers won, I think they would have def played Baltimore on Saturday....both AFC games would have been then, with NFC games on Sunday. Clearly the TB/Philly winner on Monday would have played on Sunday, other NFC games are tomorrow. I had figured it would have been a Saturday game v. Baltimore
Other thing....should Steelers win on Monday, let's just happy AF and not worry about a short week.

The NFL has never played a game where there were 65 mph winds, and I already posted a link to the first ever NFL playoff game in 1932 which was played indoors because of snow, wind and freezing temps.
This is not "realistic weather" and if it is still like this tomorrow there is no reason to play a game under these conditions.

PS only the over under changed. The actual line did not jump up for Buffalo.

Well i see you ve shifted now from blizzard like conditions to the wind...its 25 mph with occasional wind gusts up to 50. I was listening to a buffalo radio station yesterday, buffalo weatherman who the bills and the nfl are in contact with and he said there was nothing in the forecast that should cause this game to be postponed, no crazy amount of snow and less wind than the NE wind game last year. But that lady governor must know better since it was apperently her call Whatever, it is what it is, but dont believe the hype. I'm certainly not.jeemie wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 12:08 amThe NFL has never played a game where there were 65 mph winds, and I already posted a link to the first ever NFL playoff game in 1932 which was played indoors because of snow, wind and freezing temps.

Let’s also just acknowledge that this kind of weather is way more likely with the season growing longer and pushed further into the winter. In 1974 the Super Bowl was played on January 13th.

This x 100. If the owners had their way, the SB would be played after March Madness.
Too bad we can't go back to 14 games. Notice the number of backups playing in these rounds.

Ain't a damn holiday for me, fuck the NFL...that will now make 4 of the last 5 Steeler games I've had to watch at work on my computer instead of in my cozy man cave with a cooler full of beer, the way a game should be enjoyed.

Big fu to the NFL. That was a BS move by the gov to move the game but they allowed people out to go to the Sabre game tonight
Aside from then wind and temperatures
I think the real issue is, you park at 11-12 ish, and then try to leave at 4:30ish, and your car and the parking lot is buried in a couple feet of snow
70k people aren’t getting out of that anytime soon

How about dont go to the game if you re that worried about it. Are we being serious here??? This is a travesty to the game . Just more pussification of the sports i/we grew up watching imho.

Honest question:
Wasn’t the argument for Buffalo’s new stadium not having a roof that football is supposed to be played in the elements?
This is multiple games in recent years that have been rescheduled due to weather.
Do we want the elements to be a factor or not?
Thank you JJ

I’m going to assume that you’ve never actually been in a situation where your car and thousands of other cars were all buried in 2 to 3 feet of snow
Also, it has nothing to do with the game, just safety of the fans and general logistics

The only RWD cars anymore are expensive sports cars. No one is driving those in the snow
FWD 4WD AWD……don’t go too fast don’t tailgate stay steady on inclines…..you aren’t gonna get stuck

When I originally read that they were anticipating 6 inches of snow during game time, I was all up in arms about the postponement
Upon learning that the snowfall is likely to be between 2 -3 feet
That’s a whole different dealio
Snow doesn’t just evaporate when you shovel or plow it
It has to go somewhere
And in a parking lot, that means it’s almost definitely going on another car
And having had multiple 4 wheel drive suvs I can promise you 2 - 3 feet of snow is no picknick, and each car that gets stuck makes it exponentially worse
In the scenario I’m talking about, people wouldn’t get home for 6 hours, assuming they got home
It would be a massive clusterphuk
Cars running out of gas
People having heart attacks and strokes
emergency vehicles not able to get through because of all the stuck cars int the way
Total fucking nightmare

People up here and in buffalo mostly dont drive cars that are being buried in 2 or 3 feet of snow. The big blizzard last year in Buffalo was alot to deal with, this weekends weather is not that big of a deal, way way overblown.
