Gator, do ya think the NFL is gonna shoot themselves in the foot again? (I'll explain below). If they're gonna do it, it should have already been done. I can see why they picked Cleveland if it becomes necessary 'cause it's about the same distance for fans from Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but what about all the fans that absolutely live for these teams and follow them everywhere. For many, season tickets aren't just for home games. How could they possibly make hotel and other arrangements in time. What about the loss of revenue for the Buffalo area, meaning food, lodging and booze? And doesn't the NFL know that Cleveland is ALSO on Lake Erie and subject to lake effect snow? I say play the game in Buffalo regardless the weather conditions.
 
As the NFL continues it's greedy habits on who gets to see the games on National television providers; ie ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, by ripping the advertisers, apparently it's not enough cash for them. Putting a playoff game on a pay per view (Cleveland/Miami on Peacock, other games only available on Prime) is a non-starter for me and I'd guess quite a few others. Because of a rift between satellite providers and mainstream broadcasters, folks that want to watch must either subscribe or go somewhere like a big sports bar to watch the game that's blacked out in their area. And what about the tremendous loss of revenue for those venues? I read an article that even if you subscribed, a bar with many TVs can't get the streaming at the exact same time, where there could be 10 or more seconds between TVs. They'd need some type of a gang receiver and then run out tentacles or broadcast by 5G to all their TVs from this single receiver. It's BS!! Article said Peacock paid 110 million so they could screw the home crowds of both teams. And why does the NFL have games in the UK or Germany? Answer: MONEY !! Hell, those people don't even understand. They think "football" is soccer.
I'm a bigtime NFL fan, (don't care for college ball), but I'm not gonna pay to watch a game in my own home. Rant over! Go Browns, go Steelers.

Complete BS if they move the game. Don’t get me wrong, huge win for Stillers taking away home field advantage. But not only that for Bills Mafia. If the weather is too bad to play a kids game in, it is definitely too bad for the average Mafia member to drive 3 hours in. Also what Mitch noted about the $Ms of revenue their local businesses and tax collector would miss out on. If doing anything, postpone the game a day or two.

As for the greed of the NFL, 100%. They have watched the NCAA do it for years with their conference networks, they want a piece of the pie too. I love watching football, but it is getting hard to watch greed destroy the game. NCAA far ahead of NFL in terms of greed ruining the game. The latest conference realignment is a tragic comedy. I really feel for any student athlete that isn’t a paid football/basketball player having to deal with the BS that has come about 100% due to greed. No doubt it is foreshadowing the collapse of this country.

Well I saw today they say status quo so I guess its stayin in Buffalo. 

It would for sure suck for all of the things you mentioned, but if it's done in the name of fan, player, etc safety - then maybe it's not so bad? Doubt the NFL's out there doing the "right thing" though. Money speaks to them. 

Tell ya what, it would have been VERY funny for the game to be in Cleve, and the Steelers win - meaning they have more playoff wins in Cleveland stadium than the brownies?

Hopefully Rudolph doesn’t look as bad as Flacco. This is rough…

Like Gator said one page back. "The Browns is the Browns".

Yep. Can't think of a more tortured fanbase honestly. At least the Pirates won in 79. 
Their Super Bowl was beating the Steelers in the playoffs a few years back. It's honestly a shame. 

Man! I didn't think Detroit was gonna pull that one out, but both of my favorites won today. My congrats to Green Bay and Detroit. Lookin' at Pittsburgh and Tampa tomorrow. Love the playoffs!

Hoping the Steelers can pull inspiration from Green Bay.

With rumors of Tomlin possibly debating to move on and Jerry Jones’ impatience with Mike McCarthy. What a dream it would be for yinzers to have Greenfield’s own take over?

I have a tiny bit of confidence in the Steelers honestly. All of the pressure is on Buffalo.
This isn't a 15-2 buffalo powerhouse. Allens got the 2nd most ints in the league. They barely beat NE and Chargers in the past few weeks. 
(Steelers by no means are a powerhouse either)

Steelers playing with house money and they know it. Just go out there and get weird.
