There was a video from last night where it looked like people were shoveling snow into a chute that led to a collection bin. Guessing some of the poor saps working there had to keep dragging those off to be emptied somewhere.Where would they put this snow after they shovel it off the seats? On trucks and dumped outside the stadium? Logistical nightmare.
Yup, lake effect is a truly weird phenomenon. And it’s Buffalo, people there live with it their entire lives. The stadium is going to be packed. And there will be copious table jumping before it.I was in Buffalo all weekend for my son’s (partially outdoor) hockey tournament that was ultimately canceled on Sunday. We were stuck in the hotel Saturday night through this am with the travel ban. Honestly it seemed worse today than it was yesterday, but it can be deceiving if you fall just outside of one of the snow bands. We snuck out at 6am and getting to the highway was pretty tough, but once we were on 90 it wasn’t too bad. Glad to be out of there and almost home.
Maybe it's the weatherThis is a holiday why the f aren’t they playing at 1?
Plus a short week until next weekend
Because not everyone has the day off and ratings matter.This is a holiday why the f aren’t they playing at 1?

The Archimedes optionWhat if they installed a giant magnifying glass above the stadium to use the sun to melt it?
It would be a total flood down on the field then. That's a LOT of snow.They should have built the stadium with electrical wiring in the seats and field--then turn on the juice and melt the snow
Yes, it was not serious. There would be many other problems with that as well.It would be a total flood down on the field then. That's a LOT of snow.
Like how many places are actually off today? I don't know anyone in my industry that's off. Think they would lose a lot of eyeballs.This is a holiday why the f aren’t they playing at 1?

Berman is a Bills fan? Never noticed and I heard him a lot during the pre-NFLN days when ESPN was about it for national sports.Not Chris Berman?
Also 3/4 crazy
You’ve never heard “no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills?”Berman is a Bills fan? Never noticed and I heard him a lot during the pre-NFLN days when ESPN was about it for national sports.
Coincidence that both guys finished at 157.2, which is 1.1 below the max a quarterback can get. I think Stroud was at that max for parts of the game Saturday (maybe Love too, I don't know). I have quarterback envy right now.from Peter King, through someone's research:
Stroud v Browns: 16 of 21, 274 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 157.2 rating.
Love v Cowboys: 16 of 21, 272 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 157.2 rating.
Now that you mention it, I do.You’ve never heard “no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills?”

Who cares about your stupid link.Liink?
They should declare today "Bills Shovel Day" and hand one out to everyone entering the stadium!Also:

YEah he always did the wagons thing but he also struck me as rooting for the Niners at times.Berman is a Bills fan? Never noticed and I heard him a lot during the pre-NFLN days when ESPN was about it for national sports.
On Sundays, the day before a usual work day, most of the games start at 1PMWho cares about your stupid link.
Given that the NFL plays 3 games a *week* in prime time where the games end after 11:20pm on the east coast, you're surprised the league is starting the game at 1:30pm Pacific Time and not 10:30am Pacific Time?
Are you just being obtuse for the sake of it? Holiday or not, the game was never starting at 1:30pm. If it was a day where every person had to stay locked in their homes or else get executed, the game would still start at 4:30.
It's not a weird comment. I despise the schedule because I can't stay up for prime time games. But it's still the schedule.On Sundays, the day before a usual work day, most of the games start at 1PM
There are way more people who will be working tomorrow morning than ones who work this afternoon.
And especially a weird comment from you, who repeatedly reminds us he wakes up at ~5am.
Sunday is a weekend, more people have Sunday off than MLK day.On Sundays, the day before a usual work day, most of the games start at 1PM
I think Jacksonville would have been a better choice. Very warm here in SE coastal GA today, and Jville is just a stone's throw away.Supposedly they came close to moving the game to Atlanta.
He was half right 7 years in a row (88 to 94).Berman picked a Bills-Niners SB every year. It was his thing.
Jacksonville is never the right option for almost anything sports related.I think Jacksonville would have been a better choice. Very warm here in SE coastal GA today, and Jville is just a stone's throw away.
Bills fans are never cold. They warm up in the parking lot by jumping on flaming tables and lighting themselves of fire. Good times...Today's accuweather forecast:
4 pm: SNOW
5 pm: SNOW
6 pm: SNOW
All with wind chill near 0.
Not sure how any of this is better.
That may be true, but weather wise it would be--which is all I was referring to.Jacksonville is never the right option for almost anything sports related.
X: Not that they needed it after a tough playoff loss to the #Lions, but the #Rams JUST landed from their flight from Detroit after plane issues and hours and hours of delays. Not ideal.
They used to get hundreds of shovelers in this situation. Such an entitled fanbase now.Also:
Why not require that cold-weather teams have domed stadiums or if they can't get the stadium ready move it to a neutral site?Why not Toronto? Close to Buffalo, domed stadium.
Because this is a rare event and even if there were a dome the problem would still exist for people to get there. It's not the end of the world to postpone a game for a day or two.Why not require that cold-weather teams have domed stadiums or if they can't get the stadium ready move it to a neutral site?
Lucky for them all those travel snafus came right before their 33 consecutive bye weeks.
@johnmd20 assured me there would be no bad calls.Snowballs are going to be a problem if/when there is a bad call.
