Minnesota-Philly Ppd...WHAT?
-
Being from Baltimore, another place where we don't get the annual snows that cities such as Cleveland, Buffalo, and Green Bay do, I can see why they postponed the game. Look, a lot of our football fans, like Philthy's, are idiots in 70 degree, bright sunny weather. You add 6 or more inches of snow, and you would think all hell was breaking loose. I agree that football is a winter game and I LOVE watching games played in the snow. But you put that snow in cities that really don't know how to deal with it, even though it snows there every year, and it's just too much of a risk.
A few weeks back, we had our first measurable snow of the winter here, a whopping 1 inch, and it was the lead story on the evening news. I'm telling you guys, the east coast is really stupid when it comes to snow. We get it every year, and yet every storm or flake that falls is treated like the first one. For that reason, and that reason alone, it's a good thing that they postponed the game.

Am I in the minority here? Why is this game being postponed until Tuesday?
Unless it's a thunderstorm, football needs to be played. There have been many games played in cold/blizzard conditions. Looks like the NFL wants 32 domes....
I agree with you Bob, that game should have been played.
Lost revenue? What about the fan that had that game circled on their calendar, came in to visit Mom & Pop and took an extra day off work already to stick around the area to catch the Sunday game ... but now can't attend the make-up game?
I remember attending that game about 6 years ago against San Diego where the streets were closed, yet we still trucked down to the stadium for the game.

I was at that game....drove in from Westlake.
I would like to see the NFL mandate any team that can realistically project, through past records, temperatures falling in to the 30's on a regular basis, or can project snowfall on a regular basis be required to play in a dome.
(Just not a dome made of cloth that caves in when it snows)
This idea that Football was meant to be played in the snow is rubbish. Back in the day, college seasons were over by mid November....not to mention bowl games aren't played in the snow belt. We have the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls, not the Holley, Icicle, Igloo, and Blizzard bowls...and the NFL season...championship included was over before Christmas unlike today when regular season games are still being played in to the new year.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Its a bit hard to drive to the stadium with 20 inches of snow on the ground, not to mention 50 mph gusts of wind.
Buy a snowmobile like the people in buffalo do. Of course that might be overkill for two storms a year, LOL.

Zombo, I've come to expect better from you on this board. I would have liked to think I could come on here and talk football with ACTUAL fans from one of my rival teams. I see that is not possible in some instances, as you continue to denounce my team and my city while I have done nothing but pump up the improving Browns. Given that...enjoy yet another losing season, as your football team once again got trucked by mine. No wonder Art moved.

You know what, you're right. You should trudge your way to Cleveland Browns Stadium to watch your 5-10 team lose yet another game. I agree that as a fan, you have the right to risk your life to watch a garbage team play another garbage game in however much snow falls. One of my best friends is an Eagle fan, and even he was happy with the postponement. But, like my team, his will also be in the playoffs this year, so we at least have something to play for beyond week 17. So you have to think about the future....unless your a Cleveland Browns fan.
It's a shame that 6-10 is an improvement.

No, Zombo wasn't the reason, but neither was I the reason Irsay moved the Colts. Was making a point, that obviously was missed.

I was at that game....drove in from Westlake.

This idea that Football was meant to be played in the snow is rubbish. Back in the day, college seasons were over by mid November....not to mention bowl games aren't played in the snow belt. We have the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls, not the Holley, Icicle, Igloo, and Blizzard bowls...and the NFL season...championship included was over before Christmas unlike today when regular season games are still being played in to the new year.

The fact is that the first known professional football league consisted of baseball players who had formed football teams. Therefore, football was played in the fall and winter. Football is meant to be played regardless of the elements, whatever they may be (with exception to lightning).
