"white out conditions"

unless its dangerous they will play... They play thru hurricanes wind and rain. White outs may make it hard to see on TV but lots of storms do that.. if its too bad for the players to get there thats different.

Its also a holiday on monday and they have a monday night game.. They could always try to move it to that afternoon if they could get the infrastruture set up.

It's not just "snow" it's potential blizzard conditions where you literally may not even be able to see a few feet in front of you

Do white outs in the open mean white outs in a stadium? or more like playing in a snow globe?

 

[Toga]

Cleveland cold and 25 mph winds on Sunday. No snow. How about the JMA Wireless Dome?

 

[BuffOrange]

They should totally do Cuse or Toronto. This sucks.
Somehow the line is holding strong at 10; don't understand how.

It's gonna fall like a rock

I suppose it depends on how hard it's snowing and how hard the winds are blowing.

has the NFL ever cancelled/delayed a game for weather when it wasn't a safety issue with a building or for the players own safety?

millions have been bet on this game, betting drives the NFL. Vegas does not like giving back money.. What happens to people who saw weather and moved the total from 38 to 35?

They have already announced no plans to move the KC game and that is a weather safety issue.

Steelers - Chiefs playoff game in 2017 was delayed from a 1 p.m. kick to an 8 p.m. kick due to ice. Bills - Jets regular season game in 2014 was postponed to Monday and played in Detroit. Vikings - Eagles in December 2010 was postponed to Tuesday due to snow.

game In Buffalo with this forecast is nothing more than a coin flip. people will get a kick out of it and Talk about how it’s real football but it’s kind of a joke, IMO. Play 17 games and comes down to playing in 40 MPH wind gusts and a foot of snow. No thanks. Not much fun to watch either considering what’s at stake

so ice
6 ft of snow
roof collapse

if Buffalo got an epic storm maybe.. or if Hurricane threatens.

forecast now on the weather channel

Windy. Snow will taper off and end during the morning leading to cloudy conditions during the afternoon. High 27F. Winds WSW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 70%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected.

Agreed, no issue playing in adverse conditions but no one wants to see a playoff game decided by mother nature.

If I'm the Bills I definitely want the game moved if it's going to be whiteout conditions.

The last thing you want is some flukey 3-0 game where there is no skill involved. Hell I would rather play the game in Vegas or something.

Plus, you have to take into consideration difficulty of travel for the fans, I would think.

i just think it sucks that a 17 game regular season and now a playoff game comes down to white out conditions, the wind is the wind but a field covered with snow and zero visibility is just stupid. Like I said, people will get a kick out if it, I just think it’s not the way a playoff game should be played in 2023. Say the same if the bills win,

Just make the tickets good for the Bills home playoff game in a week.

The Vikings Eagles game was in Philly (so no roof). It was postponed due to a nor'easter with a foot of snow forecasted.

Agreed, that Indy game a few years ago was fun to watch in all that snow but as a playoff game that would have been absurd and the current forecast if accurate looks worse then that. If Pitt wins they win but as you noted losing 3-0 in a run and punt fest blows but would be par for the Bills soul crushing history.

Bills game last year was moved as well to Detroit but that was that 6 feet of snow weekend.

Injury Report for Buffalo isn't great either
Dodson went from limited to DNP
Rapp still a DNP
Douglas still a DNP
Davis still a DNP
Knox and Dawkins were DNP's due to illness so they should be back.

Really hope Davis and Douglas can give it a go.

Move the game here

Not just that. Stadium workers. Police / emergency workers being needed elsewhere more urgently than a football game . Players / coaches getting to the game . Refs / tv crews traveling to game. It’s stupid . Bills in the dome would be wild

The total has plummeted nearly 10 pts yet the spread RTS. You’d have to bet Pitt here from a value perspective. A 10 pt drop in total yet the spread unchanged at 10?

Davis being out might save Josh a pick since those two are completely crossing wires this year
