That said - the tweet above is hilarious, and I didn't realize that about D-Day.

 

If you are interested.

Allied leaders set June 5, 1944, as the invasion’s D-Day. But on the morning of June 4, foul weather over the English Channel forced Eisenhower to postpone the attack for 24 hours.

 

The delay was unnerving for soldiers, sailors, and airmen, but when meteorologists forecast a brief window of clearer weather over the channel on June 6, Eisenhower made the decision to go. It was one of the gutsiest decisions of the war.

I've heard opposing fans bring up D-Day a few times over the past day.  

 

I mean....really?  Comparing a football game to one of the most impactful military events in world history?

Or they could have just watched "Band of Brothers"

***** man, this is almost the whole first episode of Band of Brothers.

 

Easy Company gears up, gets on planes, D-Day is postponed, Easy Company gets off planes, everybody's pissed off, rinse & repeat x2.

We played them this year.  They know us, we know them.  No big deal.

 

Regardless of it being less time after the storm, I believe it is safer having people get there and be there during the day, and on the way home before we are in full evening swing.  

 

And yes, we’ve seen them before, but whatever offers the safest contritions for attendance and play while also giving us the lost rest possible before the next game is the target.

D-day wasn't really one of the most impactful events in history, although Americans have been led to believe that.

 

The Wehrmacht was broken and dying by June of 1944, and the complete loss of Heeresgruppemitte during Operation Bragration, just a few days after the Normandy landings, in Belarus, was FAR more impactful.

 

Anyway, "D-day" does not necessarily mean "allied invasion of France" or "huge important event" so much as a military designation for the date on which an event is scheduled to take place.

It's kind of funny.  It's like some fans think the NFL is doing things based on what makes sense, or what is kind, or reasonable, or fair.

 

The answer to any question about why the NFL did something is always going to be the same from now until Doomsday.....MONEY.

 

Money=ratings=viewership=etc.

 

Why in the world do you think we still have 3 pre-season football games, more teams in the playoffs, and 17 games?

 

That's right.  Money.

 

 

 

 

I hear this year after year, it's a business not a sport, it's about the money. No kidding. You know why I go to work every day?  The money. 

Do you think this is some sort of revelation?  Why would they make decisions that hurt ratings, make for a poor product, lose money...., if they don't have to.

Just looking at the playoff schedule as we know it so far...

 

Who out there really scares you this playoff year?

 

This is the weakest (at least on paper) group of teams I can recall in many years playing in the playoffs.

 

NO ONE "scares me" other than San Francisco.  I want no part of that team, but we wouldn't have to deal with them until the big dance anyway.

 

Everyone else in both conferences doesn't rise to close to their level.  

 

Lots of teams could beat us, sure, but they don't scare me and they are beatable opponents.

 

The door is wide open!
 

 

That’s because your view is from a Bills fan perspective.. I assure you fans of Texans Steelers Dolphins Browns were all looking at Mahomes Allen and Lamar as a daunting field.

For those of us not in Buffalo, how bad is the weather now, and how much better will the weather be tomorrow at 4:30??

Weather is bad in east aurora. Visibility is like 1/16th of a mile. High winds and blowing snow. Not a whole lot of accumulation at this point though. Maybe like 8”

Thanks for this. I’m shocked that an adult with some sense of a following didn’t already know this. Or better checked it on the Google machine before putting that non sense out. Well at least some people are getting educated.

Nuch, I’ve taken so much heat here over this and other posts I have made about a 1 pm Monday kickoff time, like I am some sort of d*** for even suggesting the idea.

 

I am some sort of d***, but not for these posts.
