Big Turk

He has pretty much been the coach in waiting apparently He effectively was the DC this year apparently.

If I was a betting man, I would project those totals to rise upward over the next 24 hours

Ground crews will be prepared. Jeffrey Fowler with the Penn State Cooperative Extension works closely with grounds crews all over the world. He said the Bills crew has seen snow before. "Armageddon could hit them and they wouldn't even know the difference," Fowler said over Zoom.

Yes and 8-12 inches Saturday night prior to this. Yes...Buffalo is showing 22.2" currently as the projected storm total thru Monday morning

From what I am reading it seems the bands will be moving more than normal, steering the heaviest snow to different areas

Haha, then you should move away from Elmwood because you miss out on the majority of the lake snow events. Yeah, it's definitely becoming more irritating and as I get older I am getting more and more tired of the giant snowpiles to deal with are becoming more frequent. Never had a 7 foot snow event until 2014 and that was described as a "once in 1000 year storm" and it literally happened again 8 years to the day later.

If you lived thru last year's winter and were south of Williamsville, you would get it. Last year almost broke me and I grew up here and have lived here my whole life outside of a 12 year period in my college years and the 8 years after. 35+ years. In the snow belt areas. It's simply changing. The heavier storms are becoming more frequent due to the lakes often being at record warm temperatures now and the amount of moisture that can be sucked up and then dumped is directly proportional to the difference between the air and water temperature, which is becoming higher and higher over time. I'd much rather get 7 feet over 4 weeks than have 7 feet in 2 days and then nothing for the other 3 weeks and 5 days. That's the main difference

Not sure..especially since by the time they clear the seat and get done with a section it will have just as much snow on it as before they cleared it since it will be still snowing heavily. Plus with the wind blowing around it may just blow it back onto the seats

So far it just looks cold without much wind...like 23 and winds 10-15 mph.

Unlikely...this area is pretty much fine with anything under 4 feet. We have the best snow plowing in the country outside of the Sierra Nevada Mountains that get like 15-20 feet of snow in storm systems at times. So good that many other states send their snow plow drivers to be trained in WNY

There is increasing thought the lake snows could extend into Monday and possibly even Tuesday now. This is going to be a rough winter week in WNY. Can't really complain, we have gotten off Scott Free all winter so far and the lake is at a record warm temperature right now so that was kind of foreboding as it was.

NOAA expected snow for Buffalo is a little under 2 feet thru Monday morning. This could and often does increase as we get closer and they become more sure of the wind direction. Looks like Buffalo Metro and the immediate Southtowns are taking the brunt of this on the chin while the game is being played. Think Indy Snow game with slightly less wind than the New England Wind Game mixed together.

How do you know the offense would not have taken a KC nosedive without them? Are you clairvoyant or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Well, it's happening. Chance of precipitation on Sunday in Orchard Park is 100% and the forecast is for 8-12" Saturday Night on top of that. Latest forecast: "Saturday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Areas of blowing snow. Low around 21. Windy, with a southwest wind 28 to 36 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible. Sunday Snow before 7am, then a chance of snow showers between 7am and 10am, then snow after 10am. The snow could be heavy at times. Areas of blowing snow after 10am. High near 24. Windy, with a southwest wind 26 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 44 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%."

It's also the first time the Steelers have ever played here in the playoffs. All 3 prior matchups were in Pittsburgh.

Buffalo Metro now supposed to get in on the action Saturday night... Just looked at NWS Buffalo forecast for my area in the Depew/Lancaster area and see we now have a Winter Storm Watch as well and they expect 6-10 inches of snow Saturday night. Likely much higher than that...weather.com is not a reliable source for these events. NWS Buffalo or Donn Paul only.

You cannot ask a player to do as much as Allen is asked to do, put up 400+ yards running/passing every week and then say "Oh yeah, and btw, we can't have you turn the ball over." That's just the way it is. If you want to ask him to do as much as you are, you have to accept there will be some bad along the way. But there will be far more good.

Punting will look something like this: On that day, Kelly went 11-16 for 165 yards and 4 TDs. No reason Allen can't have a similar day.

Not to mention it has unique features that no other stadium in the NFL has that causes swirling and unpredictable winds at one of the field. Namely the stadium only has a single tunnel entrance instead of two tunnel entrances that balances out the winds, whereas the single tunnel causes uneven winds that swirl unpredictably and even blow in different directions on the field than they do on the goalpost flags. This was detailed in length in Jim Kelly's book when he talked about "The Hawk", the name for our wind.

Only because Allen decided he wouldn't be happy with a nice, easy 27-10 win once they got up 17-0 and wanted a 55-0 win instead. His TO's were the only reason Miami was in the game.

Latest hourly forecast for KC saying temps will be around 0 at kickoff and quickly dip to -2 by 9pm and continue getting colder as the game goes on to as low as -6 by the end of the game. Low temp expected to be -8 there now. Wind only around 13 mph so wind chill won't be too terrible but likely in the -15 to -20 range.

Amateur hour. Anyone who has been in these situations knows hunter heat packs are far more effective than a piece of cardboard.

Almost no player will bat a ball down on a 4th down play unless it's a Hail Mary. Benford intercepted Dak Prescott on 4th down and cost the Bills like 10 yards of field position. You act as if the Bills could go for it with Allen then halfway thru the play decide nothing is open and call timeout and punt the ball. They can't. Allen throwing it up hoping someone can make a play or getting it intercepted is far better than him taking a sack, throwing an incompletion or running and being tackled short of a first down.

I don't think it will neutralize it as much as you think. Allen would has done well in windy games and even in the wind game he had decent numbers...and that was with them not reallt throwing much until the 2nd half of the game. If they want to line up big and run, put Joseph, DaQuan and Oliver in the middle with Lawson and Rousseau on the edges and run a 5-2-4

This looks more like what I was expecting for Sunday with heavy lake snow expected for OP. Amounts expected likely will be in there by late tomorrow. Latest from NOAA/NWS Buffalo: "Sunday: Snow showers likely before 1pm, then snow after 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Widespread blowing snow. High near 23. Windy, with a west wind 29 to 32 mph, with gusts as high as 46 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%."
