Cleveland @ Buffalo Snowmageddon

[Atkins&Rebel]

This game is setting up to be a massive weather-impacted game. Orchard Park could get over 3' of snow from Friday into Sunday night.
That lake effect coming off Lake Erie can be a huge pain.
I grew up south of Buffalo where my hunting camp is now, and in the 80's we got socked with a massive storm where people were getting stuck on the roads because the snow came down so fast. when the plows finally dug everyone out, the snow banks were taller than the vehicles driving down the road.
And about 10 years ago, my friends in Buffalo were all shoveling their roofs so they would collapse under the 3-4 feet of snow they got in a few days.
My lucky ass is heading to hunting camp today instead of tomorrow to avoid the driving fun that will start this evening.

Won’t Watson be back for this game too?

I thought it was next week, but my focus is leaving right now for camp!

3 feet? Our whole country grinds to a halt if there's is just 3 inches of snow!

Have a good one A&R

he'll be back for the texans game (week13). one of the reasons him getting less than a full season off felt fishy.
NFL's gonna prioritize a storyline over pretty much anything else. That's why he's inexplicably being allowed to practice with the team currently.

As I recall, 11 games was due to the requirement for 6 games to accrue each year of service for pension purposes. Basically they'd have had NFLPA pushback if the league had tried to prevent service accrual.

They are calling for thundersnow, which is one of the wildest storms I have ever witnessed.

I'm not sure if pension/NFLPA was the driver or the contract structure being designed for 2022 to count and not roll the contract forward a year.

But either way, it was very clear how the number 11 was arrived at.

[Rusty Trombagent]

Yeah, I was aware of the contract ramifications, I'm just deep enough that I believe that when the schedule was being constructed the Texans were purposefully put at week 13 for that (assumed) reason.

Had a roommate in college at Iowa State from Buffalo. Winter of '76, he said there was snow up to the 2nd floor windows!

Game is moving to the D. So Bills play 2 games in 5 days here. I'm going to the game on Turkey Day... I bought a Hutch jersey to support the Lions (also he went to school with our daughter's best friends here at Divine Child).

@wab Thundersnow is the coolest.

At least you don't have to worry about ticks or mosquitos.
