One would assume it is an automatic postponement or relocation, right? no. State of emergency just allows pieces to be in place to help out to clear snow and rescue stranded people and restore power. SOE does not equal driving bans and all that. NFL might take it into consideration, that I have no clue. But SOE is an order to allow for certain things to be put in place ahead of time in this case. 1 Quote

We were already in the playoffs. We'd have played backups. I don't think people are getting the difference between ordinary "bad weather" and the kind of conditions we played in vs. the Colts in 2017 (sustained massive snow but no wind; we pulled it off in OT with Joe Webb playing QB - that just shows how flukey the conditions made it) or vs. the Pats in 2021 on Monday night (they won with Mac Jones throwing 3 passes). THAT's the kind of weather I'm talking about. If we get that, it's basically a coin flip. Quote

SCBills Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) The fact Schefter addressed this means contingency plans are in place. Whether the “status quo” changes, we shall see. I tend to think it’s 90/10 we play at 1 pm Sunday, but Schefter posting about our game, both tweets, puts some doubt in my mind. Especially with the ominous “….” at the end of his post.

Perhaps. If I tell you the the teams have been told it’s status quo for the 1 pm game. or teams have been told it’s status quo for the 1 pm games… Which makes you more certain? Im not sure the league wants to draw attention to a State of Emergency being usurped for a football game, God forbid anything tragic were to happen as a result. Quote

Mr. WEO Posted January 12 Posted January 12 1 hour ago, SectionC3 said: Of course not. But we could plow. And drive. And see. As I understand your point (it’s not going to be markedly better on Monday), I reject it. I’ve lived through it. I won’t be good in Monday if the snow is as forecasted, but it will be light years better than what the current forecast indicates will be a blizzard on Sunday. Not like this weather. Sorry, but you’re wrong. The Bills have never hosted a football game in the type of weather that is forecasted for Sunday, There is zero chance that a day after a storm like that ended a game could be played. Some people were stuck in their homes for a week. over 30 people died. Plowing routes to and from the stadium was not a public priority, as you should already have known. If it is to be as bad as you are saying, they wouldn't be playing Monday. Quote
