The Pats / Titans game was about the same, we all dealt with itLogistically, there's not much they can do at this point unless the move the game someplace warmer, and play it no later than Monday. KC is freezing for the next few days. Sunday has a high of -2, with snow. Monday 4, with wind chill around -10 during the day, also with some snow.
Maybe it’ll get brittle and break off.At least if Tyreek Hill breaks his arm, he may not need ice.
What about a Biggie Bag from Wendy's? You can get a Double Stack burger, 4 piece Nuggets (either regular or spicy), a small fries, and a small drink--and they have both sweetened and unsweetened iced tea and various lemonades if you're not a fountain soda person. And for just $1.99 you can add a small Vanilla Frosty for a limited time.I don’t buy drink soda or eat donuts or get coffee at dunk
Also mostly irrelevant but every once in a blue moon i would get a Frappucino

When they inevitably go to 18 games, I hope this doesn't start a push for neutral sites for all playoff games, because that would suck.With the NFL moving the season further and further back this might be more common in cold weather cities. The Pats won the AFC title 27 years ago yesterday. We haven’t even had the kickoff for the playoffs yet this year.
FWIW the field is heated so it won’t be quite that bad. This article says the field will be about 50 degrees at game time.RGIII is right, and they're going to be playing on what will feel and carry the risks of playing in the parking lot.

You're right, but I can't stop the NFL from NFL'ing.I'll be the scold here and note that if your attitude is "Fuck it, make'em play," you should refrain from making any posts about the NFL's attitudes toward player safety in the future. RGIII is right, and they're going to be playing on what will feel and carry the risks of playing in the parking lot. Tyreek Hill might deserve whatever he gets, but that's not true for most of the others.
It was around freezing for the last few days as well. It's not like they're playing on the Astrodome turf only frozen.FWIW the field is heated so it won’t be quite that bad. This article says the field will be about 50 degrees at game time.

Hypothermia is a thing and NFL players can't layer up like they're scaling a mountain.It was around freezing for the last few days as well. It's not like they're playing on the Astrodome turf only frozen.
They'll have heaters on the sidelines etc. It's going to be cold but it's playoff football. The Titans game was one of the most memorable games I can remember and I don't even remember shit about the game outside of the Pats won. We're not making them play in a tornado, it's just going to be cold as shit.
Until the linemen come out in short sleeves. It's 3 hours real time and each side of the ball is on the field about 50% of the time and then there's half time. it's going to suck but no one is dying of hypothermia.Hypothermia is a thing and NFL players can't layer up like they're scaling a mountain.
Don’t really have a strong opinion here, but has an NFL player developed hypothermia during a game before? I must say I don’t recall hearing anything like that over like 25 years of watching games.Hypothermia is a thing and NFL players can't layer up like they're scaling a mountain.
The field is heated to 50 degrees and the NFL has long been played on frozen surfacesI'll be the scold here and note that if your attitude is "Fuck it, make'em play," you should refrain from making any posts about the NFL's attitudes toward player safety in the future.

KC? There's a dome around 250 miles down the road.You're right, but I can't stop the NFL from NFL'ing.
But, if you were in charge, what's the solution?
Everyone is well aware of why the game will be played as planned. The issue is whether or not it's a good idea.No way owners are giving up home playoff game revenues for neutral sites.
Maybe end the regular season this weekend, and take a break and start the playoffs in February. It seems like January 15-31 is the worst part of the winter. At least in the northeast.When they inevitably go to 18 games, I hope this doesn't start a push for neutral sites for all playoff games, because that would suck.
For sure. And the Vet's surface, which had cancer lurking under it. And check out clips of the Orange Bowl surface from the 70s (SBs V and X).I guarantee a frozen field is softer than the Texas Stadium field from the late 1990s. That was green concrete
Ian Eagle is doing the radio call of the game.Todd Blackledge and Ian Eagle's kid? Wtf did we do to deserve this?
Noah Eagle? I feel old moment.
Noah is good. (Nepotism issues aside) he was really good as the clippers PBP man on the radio (the three years he was there)Todd Blackledge and Ian Eagle's kid? Wtf did we do to deserve this?
NBC has only one NFL broadcast team but has three games this weekend.Todd Blackledge and Ian Eagle's kid? Wtf did we do to deserve this?
TB is greatTodd Blackledge and Ian Eagle's kid? Wtf did we do to deserve this?
That last one was thrown to the Cleveland safety.Stroudy's receivers couldn't catch a cold.
Don't they only blow that dead if he's unimpeded to the QB?The offside should not have been a free play, but whatever.
The CB had a shot too!That last one was thrown to the Cleveland safety.
So you don't see a difference between a cold weather game and, say, CTE?I'll be the scold here and note that if your attitude is "Fuck it, make'em play," you should refrain from making any posts about the NFL's attitudes toward player safety in the future.
