Understandable. Buffalo had how many people die in a blizzard last year? 47?
The NFL can hold a game, but if drivers are out on the streets and block them, and people are injured or die as a result, finger are gonna point at elected officials for not instating a driving ban, not at the NFL. And if a driving ban is instated, elected officials can’t selectively enforce it and exempt team busses, fans, etc
Granny got arrested when she went to buy formula for her grandkids but police escort led the way for the team bus, not a good look for the Shield.
