Moving that many people to and from the stadium with the snow forecast would've been insane. From the football perspective, this helps Buffalo to play in much better conditions.

 

[TDX27]

I hate this. The move completely favors the Bills. Play the game when it was scheduled. They've played in that kind of weather before.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

This is done for one single reason: To help the home team.

 

[B Harder]

Unreal

 

[BLITZ]

I don't like it but it makes sense

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Eh, not concerned. If the only way the Steelers could win was with a weather assist, they aren't the better team. I personally think they win it whenever it's played.

Moving 70,000 people to and from the game in those conditions? Does Buffalo even have the resources to keep that many roads clear with that much snow in the forecast?

Yeah, but a snow game would have been great. It brings back memories of the Bus in the Chicago game. I could see Najee and even Warren having a lot of fun running over Jills.

One thing you can all but guarantee, the winner of Monday's games will both play on Sunday next week.

Agreed, I actually think this will help. Playing on a frozen field with lake snow on top makes the line of scrimmage a slippery mess with no push from our OL or RBs. Couple that with outrageous winds, and gusts just didn't bode well for our offense. I know it affects both teams but I figured Allen was going to run/scramble us to death.

Gonna be colder Monday
With some snow too

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

*******.

Last year 47 people died in the blizzard. Let's see what would happen if you put 70,000 people in the middle of it. The resources will be stressed enough without dealing with that.

So did Hocul make this decision, or did the NFL do it?
Either way, those planning to attend from out of the area are likely screwed and won't be at the game now.
And a 4:30 kickoff? Not everyone gets MLK day off. And if they're so concerned, just move the game to Cleveland like they originally proposed.
Short week for the winner.

Now I really don’t like that woman..

 

[TheDudeAbides]

Damn! I was REALLY looking forward to a snowy, windy, old school football game.

Babies!

 

[steel dino]

They should have moved it to Cleveland .

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Will the game still be televised nationally?

 

[KentuckySteeler]

Now I really don’t like that woman..

When was there ever anything to like her about? lol

 

[KentuckySteeler]

Will the game still be televised nationally?

Without doubt. CBS.

 

[Troglodyte]

Why not 5:00 or 5:30?

 

[SteelerFan448]

They should have moved it to Cleveland .

And take away the home game the Bills earned and not allow Bills season ticket holders to attend the game? Absolutely not. I would never want that to happen for the Steelers so I won't wish that upon Buffalo either.

 

[SteelerFan448]

So it doesn't run into the MNF game.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

I had appointments scheduled during that time. Such BS. Trying to reschedule them.
