On that note
Are you really that disconnected from the rest of the world?
THAT is an outstanding line. I grew up on a hill overlooking ET With a view of the Steel Building in the distance. My world was directed westward along the Mon Valley mills. Anything east of Turtle Creek might as well have been in New Jersey.
Buffalo earned their home playoff should not be moved. Flip the script Pittsburgh has a home playoff game and the NFL wants to move it to DC for weather conditions. Heads would explode in Pittsburgh.
Of course heads would explode because it’s not fair, but it is what it is. I’d rather play a neutral site game on a Sunday than a home game on Tuesday, Wednesday, or whenever this game gets pushed back to because if you win, you’re at a significant disadvantage for the next round. The league had several options at this disposal and, IMO, sitting on their hands was the worst one.
This game isn’t being played tomorrow or Tuesday in Buffalo, besides the roads and stadium being snowed in, the field at Bills stadium doesn’t have a heater underneath like most cold weather teams have, so they need it warm up naturally so the players bones don’t shatter when tackled like Mahomes helmet last night.
That’s what I’m thinking as well re: scheduling. It’s definitely unfair to Buffalo but now it’s unfair to the Steelers and the Bills.
If they keep postponing the game, maybe Watt will be back! LOL
How can the NY governor say that? The NFL can still move the game if they want. She can say they will lift the travel restrictions. But what happens to the game is up to the NFL.
Of course there won't. But the NY governor is acting outside of their jurisdiction. They can lift or continue with travel restrictions and state of emergency. But when the game happens has other factors. What if the Steelers can't get there? Or the refs? The league ultimately makes that call and the guv's restrictions are a part of that, but not all of it.
Well I had it off at UNC and Duke as well
Buffalo Airport has snowmobiles. They are at their hotel now. Getting to the stadium will occur for the players just fine.
The NFL had jurisdiction in matters like this once upon a time. Then it cancelled a Philadelphia Eagle game. And the Governor of Pennsylvania called them wussies. The NFL now defers to local government!
They took snowmobiles? That's better than Bubby Brister's truck.
The NFL can still cancel games. They cancelled the game when Hamlin was injured. They moved another game to a neutral site a year or two ago. The NFL can do what it wants with its games.
Hopefully you advance in your career to the point you just come and go as you please. Or don't care. Whatever.
I meant that in as sincere a way as possible. It's a nice place to be.
I'm at home today. Will be shutting it down around 4pm.
I get it. Can't disagree at all. I don't know where they find these people that live to work but unfortunately they end up as management.
