Really bad ref work. Two dirty hits on LA's last drive. But McVeigh seemed a little stupid there. Third and forever, get back to FG range. Depending on that defense for a stop was amusing.

Lions got hosed against the Cowboys and then got away with murder on defense against the Rams

Even if the refs were Doo Do Do Do Doo at the end.

I know you hate cheese with your burger gutter. Sorry for my cheese here.

Seems Buffalo will be cold but may escape "blizzard like" conditions.
Is it bad that I would laugh if the Philly/Tampa game gets several weather delays due to lightning? Which, it a decent possibility.

There's a game in Buffalo this afternoon that was already postponed due to the weather, and no update from Dr Pepper?

Even when they suck, I don’t root for them to be better. Just lose baby.

She very well may be too busy shoveling snow. Or her power may be out. Or she might be eating breakfast. Or she might be "celebrating" MLK Day. Or......

Or, maybe she has her professional reputation to consider, and like advertisers on X who don't want their ads to appear next to Nazis and white supremacists, she doesn't want her posts to appear next to yours?

I slept in nursing a sore back. I am not as young as I think. There was enough snow to get out a snowblower, but when it snows off-and-on all day, you keep the paths open with a shovel. I have a baby snowblower (ie single single-stage) for speed so the end of the driveway must be done by hand. aaaaAND, I did several ends of driveways for elderly and immigrant neighbors. My lower back is not happy today.
The snow was not the issue in this storm, it has been the wind and visibility. No trees on my roof (thankfully).
Obligatory reminder to people not accustomed to lake effect snow, it comes in bands that move around a lot. One neighborhood can be getting dumped on with snow and wind, and the sun can be shining 3 blocks away. Then, thirty minutes later the roles reversed as the snow band(s) moves. Today it is one big wide snowband stuck between Buffalo and Orchard Park. The Bills stadium is in Orchard Park which is far from any population center. I suspect fans will have trouble getting to the game.
They are asking fans not to come too early for tailgating because snow removal has been slow. They wanted people yesterday to shovel out seats in the stadium, but people could not get to the stadium (driving ban).

I am feeling like a bad fan. This morning I was offered a ticket to the game and I declined it. Had I had more notice to scrounge up appropriate gear, I would have done it. But it was too last minute.

I don't know anything about the "lake effect" snow, so thanks for the info.

Sorry to hear about your back. Hopefully it's transient and you didn't screw anything up.

I had a snow blower in KC and would do multiple driveways with it, because it was fun, &/or the neighbors were elderly or worked, etc. It was a good feeling.

Yes, snow removal has been slow......

I was tired of cursing the plow services and having to do the shoveling myself anyway. For the price of one year's snowplow service, I bought myself a snowblower and have not looked back. It is fun. I am up early and out in the elements walking the dog anyway, so it is not like I don't know how to dress for the weather. I do the job 1000x better and hours sooner than the so-called pros that tear up the driveway, dislodge the edging, tried to take out my retaining wall, drive like maniacs, live on redbull, and rarely show up anyway.
And I get to do a quarter of the neighborhood so everyone is happy.

Lil' Wayne was in the house supporting his Packers. Well, at least physically he was. I don't know about mentally.
