So which logical fallacy is this? I'm losing track...I probably need to write myself a list I can consult while reading various posts here. First you start out with "no human can pass in the wind conditions being forecast". Then it's pointed out, with historical weather data, that Josh in fact did pass in pretty much those weather conditions in the Dec. 21 Patriots game, so, he probably can pass in those wind conditions. Now you exaggerate the factual counterpoint to "no worries" and "literally sling that ball in a tornado" and "pass for over 300 yards". I know that's a logical fallacy you're perpetrating here, but I'm losing track of which one.

Josh Reed trolls Ari Meirov:

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills 8:15 pm. As we can see, wind was ~30 mph from the WSW at game time, with gusts up to 46 mph at game time, gust speed falling and wind falling slightly during the game. Josh Allen 15 of 30 for 145 yds. No, it's not a record-setting passing performance but the point is - he threw in it. Now, you're probably gonna say "but my point is....the Patriots won, 14 to 10!". So I'll move on to my point: football, for all its chess moves and complexity, is at core a simple game. It comes down to, as Josh's Wyo Coach used to say, "Man whupping man". The Pats don't sniff victory if Breida doesn't fumble a handoff from Josh. Hang on to the rock and as @oldmanfan said, "go out there and whup their butts."

Exactly.

We may need that. Hopefully the team is asking everyone to spend Sat. night at a nearby hotel. I know the team has meetings, dinner, meetings, and chapel and puts most players up in a hotel, but I also know they've historically allowed a few of their stars to be home with their families either overnight or the following morning ('Zo Alexander was one). This would be a good night to say "everybody stay at the hotel, no exceptions".

What's your food full of, or shouldn't I ask? I don't think the shovelers get free tickets now a days. They get paid $20/hr, which for overnight work 10 pm to 10 am might be $240 And access to a warming room/chow

He said beer and "bear essentials". I was wondering if "bear essentials" were like "bear necessities" Also imagining that between a bear coat and bear feet, @rusty shackleford could be pretty snug at the game

Lifted truck with chains 😅

This.

Pickett got knocked out of 3 games and Trubisky was totally ineffective in relief. So when Pickett's Week 13 injury sent him to IR, they benched Trubisky and went with Rudolph booping up a 3-2 record that put them in the playoffs and the best performance of the three of them. So when Pickett came off IR, Tomlin wasn't on the fence about staying with Rudolph. Yes, it's very handy if you get stuck in the snow and need a snack. Frozen cake still gives the yums.

Fake news. Shame on you Ari!

I dunno about now, but historically Von Miller has been very very good against the run, as opposed to someone like AJE who has become a talented pass rusher but (again, maybe this has changed) has been tenuous against the run.

Yeah, I think it's notable that the only road closure so far is prohibiting double-trailers on the thruways.

He really is. Gabe Davis understood it, knew it was a Pats thing at least. Nothing against the Steelers.

Thing is, if it's true as someone said that Shady grew up playing ball on snowy fields in PA, Shady probably doesn't know what it is he does. It's second nature to him, so he just plays.

Get out yer chain saw and call Safelite

To be fair to little Hyundais and the like, it's really the "cruising around" part that's the issue, not the Hyundai per se

It really is. One of our mechanics used to say "cold is a case of mind over matter. if you don't have a mind...it doesn't matter." LOL I was reading this fascinating book about WWII called "Night Witches". It's about the Soviet 588th Night Bomber Regiment during WW II. For those unfamiliar, this was an all-female regiment using, basically, cloth and wood biplanes that were converted to carry 2 bombs each. They staged just behind Soviet lines and would fly by ded reckoning (compass and time) over German lines, cut their engines and glide down (basically, undetectable because they couldn't be picked up on radar or heard), drop bombs, and fly back to base for a reload. Their all-women ground crews would re-arm the planes, working in bitter cold Soviet winters and sometimes needing to work without gloves in weather so cold skin would freeze to metal instantly. They would fly 8 to 18 missions a night. They were so feared, any Nazi pilot who shot one down was automatically awarded a medal. The more I read, the more it was "holy crap, what people can endure when they put their minds to it". Incredible story.

This made me snort coffee.

I took it as "we can reasonably predict a band of heavy snow, but at this point the exact location of the heaviest band is unpredictable"

The frozen locusts will have the same impact as frozen iguanas. They will pour down from the sky, lowering visibility and rendering footing challenging. During periods of heavy locust precipitation, the trajectory of the ball during a pass or kick may be affected. The helmet-wearing players on the field will not be impacted too much by the frozen locust fall, but coaches and players on the bench should consider protective headgear for the game. When did they move the Browns game to Detroit? Seems like it was relatively last minute. I don't think this game will be moved, though.

WGRZ Channel 2 weatherman Pat Hammer My notes from the podcast: Today (Friday): quiet Tonight: sun goes down, "rain/snow combo platter", away from the lake 7 or 7:30 may snow, will warm up tonight/tomorrow and change to lake. Tomorrow (Saturday): windy day with snow showers, maybe 1-2" but high wind of 35-40 mph winds gusting 60-65 mph widespread across area Falls through OP, w to Rochester Tomorrow night: snow will focus and increase, "Lake Effect" process. Band will be there, but very challenging to predict actual location of heaviest band - S. Buffalo or OP? Sunday during tailgating: temperatures in upper teens, snow band either right overhead or just to the north, we won't know location for sure until band sets up. Sunday during game: could be replica of Colts snow game, could not. Chance of heavy snow during the game. Wind will be lighter, 20-30 mph with odd 40 mph gust from Southwest. "Wind will be a thing, but it's not going to be debilitating wind". "Best case": Snow band sets up over Buffalo, Orchard Park gets some snow but only 1-2" during the game. He talked to someone with the Bills this morning, and they are discussing where the players should stay Saturday night - in Buffalo, not in Cleveland.
