Weather Forecast for Monday

[Bad Things]

I can't believe some of you have given the OP grief about making a post about potentially bad weather.

Common man. Let’s not keep fretting about the uncontrollables.

 

If only we had the technological prowess as a society to keep the elements from affecting a sporting event. One day, I'm sure we'll figure out something.

Remember this bad weather game in Buffalo involving Belichick? 

 

You just had to remind me of this one, didn’t you …. 
… we were the better team then, probably for the last time in 20 years, but weather was the equalizer.

Tell that to the diehard "snowday"-ers who will never give up their open stadium experience. Even if it costs them a SB. Whatever,  I'm tired of trying to convince those the value of a domed stadium for enhancing his skills. You'll get what you asked for. 

In the past 20 years, how many dome teams have won Super Bowls?  Two.  Indy and NO.   Sixteen cold team games but cold weather cities, one wet weather (Seattle) and the lone warm weather outdoor team is Tampa Bay.   It is about how you play.  Elements be damned.

How is this bad luck in Orchard Park in December?

 

I think the point is more this season has been an unusually bad season in terms of weather compared to the previous seasons. The Washington game was the only one thus far that was truly a good day for football. The Texans/Colts were awful washouts and Steelers/Dolphins high wind days (I was not there this is what I was told). It isn't unusual for a game or two to have adverse weather, but I do agree with the OP that this year has had a seemingly larger amount of truly heavy weather games and heading into December it doesn't seem to be letting up.

Typical weather for this time of year.  We should take advantage of this. 

What's the advantage? Were playing NE, not a South team like Miami. Does it not snow or get cold in NE?🤔

Well, not all “cold weather cities” are created equal.

I really get a kick out of these weather posts.

I hope the rank and file understand that the original post that included a surface weather depiction chart was for 0000Z, 6 Dec.

 

A simple understanding reveals that the time of that forecast is for 7pm Sunday in Buffalo.

Can we wait until at least Saturday night to panic?

Anyone remember the phrase that begins, "When it's too tough for them ..."

Who cares what the weather is if we're getting Feliciano, Star and Brown back!!!!!   (hopefully)

[Beast]

I'd rather have Josh Allen as my QB than Mac Jones in bad conditions....or any conditions.

Yeah the sleet was brutal in the upper deck that day.   Blinding.    So we went downstairs and the place was so empty late in the game that we actually walked across the stands with the teams as they moved up and down the field.    Really started snowing very hard late in the game.

 

Got out to the parking lot and there was like 10" of snow on the cars.   We had a two wheel drive 12 passenger Ram van and got on 20A to go home and the roads were terrible.    Some volunteer fire department had a detour set up about 10 miles outside of OP and idiotically sent us all down a road that had a deep ravine in it.   We were just over the crest of a hill with a line of cars right behind us when I could see cars piled up at the bottom of the ravine.   They couldn't get up the hill and had rolled back.     Only way thru was to ride the ditch around them like a rail.   I flew down no brakes and the piled up snow kept us upright and somehow we got lucky and popped out of the ditch at full speed after the pile-up and made it up the steep hill.   What a cluster.   When we reached Warsaw it hadn't snowed one bit all day and it was like an October ride home from there.    It was surreal but that's lake effect.....and that's why we need a gotdamn dome!

Im tired of hearing complaints and excuses about the weather,  new stadium should have a roof.

[HappyDays]

Good. Let's see Mac Jones throw the ball in wind and rain. I'll take Allen in that contest.

I just watched an old Thanksgiving snow game between Dallas and Miami (in Dallas) on YouTube. Field was all ice and snow. In Dallas! 

 

Man the game was so different then. I feel like players are better and definitely smarter now. It looked like nobody could even walk around, let alone play real football. Plus Leon Lett... LOL

 

Now the snow just provides a nice backdrop for the show. It hardly affects players. Wind is what sucks. 

 

Either way, NO DOME BABY! These NFL stadiums are basically TV sets because TV is where the money is, and domes look freaking terrible on TV, with a couple of multi-billion dollar exceptions. It's like whoever built these domes tried to think of the worst possible looking backdrop for the product.

what new cold weather city stadiums don’t have a roof? It would be so behind the times and a huge waste of money for the city and state and taxpayers if it didn’t have a roof. Just go build the same stadium as in Minnesota or Indy.

New York Jets/Giants is probably the most recent example, but they do not get nearly the same kind of severe weather we do (Wind/Snow)

yeah, that’s the last I could think of, and that was in 2010! Plus, that stadium is part of a complex, which has other indoor venues. 
 

A small market like Buffalo should be looking at the stadium for all the other events that they can host in it besides football— there has to be a lot more

money to make with an indoor stadium venue.

Be glad we don't play in Erie, PA. LOL

I agree 100%, even if you like football outside which is valid, for such a small market like Buffalo, it makes ZERO SENSE to build a 1 billion + stadium, especially if taxpayer money is involved, for it to be a single use venue with no roof. At least give us the opportunity to use it for other events.
