**Steelers (10-7) at Bills (11-6)** (-10, 36.5) Sun 1pm (1 Viewer)

[Godsbrother]

As much as I despise Kathy and hated they move the game. I must say. I don't even think people could find the stadium today if they tried. I'm less than 10 miles from the stadium and it is brutal out here. Appears the right call was made.
The wrong call could be not having the Steelers come in yesterday. Today so far is much worse than yesterday afternoon. We shall see.

I don’t know. At least the Steelers were able to log a full practice on Pittsburgh. They will have plenty of time if they leave tonight or even early tomorrow morning

 

[boilerdave]

It was definitely the correct decision to move it out a day but it sucks to not have a game in the 1:00 slot on a Sunday.

Based on what you see is there even hope to have things clear by tomorrow? It doesn’t seem like it

I don't at 1247pm. But crossing fingers. It will take a massive effort to get this place ready. Now could they push back the game to a 730? Maybe.

 

[karl.Racki]

Probably the right decision but it royally screws any fans that traveled to Buffalo fir the game

100% the right decision. Does suck for them, but hopefully they can get Monday off work too, and the conditions won't be quite AS miserable for them in the stands.

Totally not the right decision.. Remember back when football was played in snow.. But again, the NFL wants Buffalo to advance.

You can't actually be serious. It's literally illegal for the players or fans to drive to the stadium. And no you can't just move the game 24 hrs in advance to another city/building when you can just as easily push it back a day.

The absolute ridiculous stance people will make just because they put a bet on something is mindblowing. It's a football game and the state is in a state of emergency.

C'mon, be better than that.

The NFL has been playing in snow forever. Is this the worst weather game in history? Since when did they start caring about safety from a snow game? Is this going to start a precedent? To hell with history.

IT WASN'T THE NFL'S DECISION.

Right, it was someone’s decision who has no authority to do what she did. She told Pittsburgh fans on Friday not to come to Buffalo.. Then Saturday after Pittsburgh fans were already there or on their way, she puts a travel ban on for a storm that was predicted to do what it is doing 5-6 days earlier. So now what about the fans, who have to work Monday and yes a lot of people still work Monday, who drove to Buffalo and were leaving Sunday after the game.

The NFL caved to her.

This is a odd take. People could literally die of exposure in this storm. Playing it one day later isn't the end of the world. It's a first round playoff game. Have some perspective.

A couple people now can't make it. Bfd. People get tickets to sporting events all the time that get cnx. Masters being one of the riskiest. It happens.

Imagine we went one season without people being out at games.

If you didn't bet the under, you wouldn't have this absolutely ridiculous take.

You're upset and making a big deal of a sports game being moved a day when peoples literal lives are at risk.

Take a minute to process that.

I don’t bet on Steeler games. My issue is the timing of moving it. If they announced this on Thursday they be no issue. They knew since Tuesday it would be bad.

Just sad how soft our society is.

Would this game been moved in 1972?

Not a chance

Yeah. I’m having to talk to my kids.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Here are the conditions as of 12:30 at the stadium

It’s pretty clear a lot of folks don’t understand what a real blizzard is like. This isn’t just heavy snow, this is basically a tropical storm with snow instead of rain. I’ve seen some games played in pretty bad snow at times. I’ve never seen a game played in anything like this.

Go ask them to stick their tongue on a pole and see if the rumours are true.

Problem solved.

 

[Godsbrother]

There is talk about possibly delaying the game until Tuesday

And south of Buffalo where the game is can be very different with a slight direction change in the wind. Living on the east side of the length of Erie or Ontario can see ridiculous weather.

5 days out looking at what might happen compared to 24 hours when they are much more sure is a huge difference.

A couple of years ago our local school district cancelled school based on a forecast for the next day. Turned out to be sunny with bluebird skies. Tons of parents had to burn a day off over that mistake.

 

[JohnnyU]

Hell, wait until the spring thaw.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Sure wish we could restore America to the greatness of 1972 so I could be watching football right now.

Judging from the live shots from Buffalo, those that wanted to see the game today wouldn't have been able to see the game.

True, but I took the Under and under on most of everything else, like Rudolph passing yards, Johnson Rec Yards.. Now seems like all that is going to be in trouble.

This is too good

Judging from the live shots from Buffalo, those that wanted to see the game today wouldn't have been able to see the game.

So true.

That said, as someone who drove 10 hours yesterday to get to this game I really hope it isn't pushed back more. I already have to burn an extra day of PTO, and keep the kid out of an extra day of school.

However, having driven through the very front edge of this storm for 30-60 minutes last night at 6:00 PM or so, I will say the driving ban was absolutely in order. And this is coming from someone very used to driving in Buffalo weather.

I have Steeler fan friends who flew from Tampa yesterday to Pittsburgh and were driving from there to the game. They stayed at Niagra Falls last night and said they're still going to the game. No idea when and where their return flight is or is out of, or if they had to change it.

They're making the best of it but what a kick in the nads, the game wasn't postponed til they were at the Falls.

She must be brining in all plows from around the state. Still snowing....plenty of work to make this happen. Will be interesting.

Steelers arrived in Buffalo this afternoon. Governor and NFL saying the game will not be rescheduled again

Bills Stadium live cam new stadium (but very close to existing stadium I’m told)

 

[The Duff Man]

For those going, how much extra time are you allowing? I am crossing at Peace Bridge, thinking I need to be there by 11 but maybe that is even too late

Lake effect snow bands are just crazy.
Reported on the radio:
2.5 ft of snow at the stadium (Orchard Park)
6 miles to the north they got 4 feet (Lackawanna)
6 miles north of that they got 6 inches (Buffalo)

[massraider]

One estimate there was 60-80 people out there shoveling.

That seems like 'not enough'.

local news clip

That is a lot of snow

EDIT: They will pay $20, but you are asked to bring your own shovel. Sorry, everyone, I know we are one of only 32 teams in the NFL, the most valuable sports league in the world, but we'd rather not spring for shovels.

I went to the ACC hoops tournament when it was in Atlanta about 15 years ago. The games were at the old Georgia Dome and each team was assigned a hotel for the players and fans. Most were right downtown. It was great, as you could walk to everything - game, restaurants, etc.... They stuck Duke in a hotel out by the airport (like 800 miles away) and put their fans in the farthest corner of the stadium away from the court

Same thing with the Packers. It’s always “BYOS.”

 

[song]

Would this game been moved in 1972?

NO.

time travel was not safe until 2029.

so it makes no sense. you would be putting people's literal lives at risk, to try to prevent putting people's literal lives at risk.

come 2032, with the combination of safe time travel and people finally having literal figurative lives, that's a whole 'nother story.

 

[GroveDiesel]

They’re being told just to shovel walkways and not the seats. Oh boy. Not many shovelers there at all.

Sounds like fans are going to have to either sit on the snow or stand the whole game. Bit of a debacle brewing. Certainly going to be a unique game

They need to throw in a few free beer tickets and they'll get a crowd. Free beer>$20

 

[massraider]

They should be offering $100 per hour, and picking people up in buses. This is crazy

The cost is a drop in the bucket compared to a single lawsuit. Yeah, they have protections, but you can always get sued.

 

[rick6668]

Maybe it's time to re-think the covering for the new stadium. A retractable roof would make much more sense, they say the new one will cover 65% of the seats. Not sure how well that will work for snow.

SKies have cleared in BUF, chance of drunken snowballs after 4:30 pm or so.

Another stalker.. Anyways, I will post every bet I make now and you will see I didn't pull the trigger on the Steelers bet.. I did bet a boat load on NBA today, is that ok?

I am rooting for Pittsburgh today, mostly because Buffalo beats the crap out of Miami

Cheers!
