What is going to happen when people die at the GB game?

Is that on the NFL to cancel the game? Or on the people who bought the tickets to not attend?

I realize it is not strictly a weather comment but the NFL has to change the playoff position structure. No way the 9ers at 12-4 and won 4 more games in a tougher division have to play opening round at 8-7-1 Green Bay!

BTW, his londsman RGoldberg is currently on vacation in a Bakersfield federal detention center. Forgot to pay his taxes. Just a little spoof on Las Vegas shysters.
Yeah that would have been pretty simple to switch and at least make it a little better.
Never planned in advance. Always for TV. Been a season ticket holder for New England for almost 20 years and it's always determined after the last regular season games are played.
The NFL doesn't give a rat's ass about the fans. If they think it's going to draw that's what they are going to do. This was the best NFC game. I'm sure Fox had the right to pick the best NFC game. NBC has taken over the 1st two games on Saturday the past few Wild Card weekends. They could have played it at 1 but the NFL wasn't going to allow Cincy/SD to be the final game to wrap up the weekend. Just my opinion of course.
Yeah I was just going to type this same thing. Money rules, who cares about the people that are actually in the 50 below temps.
I think this comes back to what everyone knows is a pretty significant problem moving forward for the NFL. The game is made for TV . The regular season is so fantasy driven nowadays that its more convenient for people to sit with their computers and watch red zone and not have to pay to park, buy drinks and get tickets. For the postseason especially, IMO, Id rather have some people over get some food, drink some beer, not have to worry about driving. I find the in stadium experience of the NFL to be AWFUL. Granted, I live in a town and am a fan of (Eagles) a team whos stadium i really dont like. But who wants to pay to go to a game and sit through all those TV timeouts in a stadium. Miss action to stand in various lines etc. I think attendance and selling out is only going to become a bigger issue for the league in years to come.
Kind of reminds me of the cat who made millions off of mcdonalds coffee being hot.
You have the option of not going. No one is making anyone attend.

I didn't know you were a New Englander Ed. You North or South of Foxboro?
East. On the border. Less than 3 hours from Canada, Foxboro, Syracuse, and Brooklyn.
Wouldn't that be West? Was curious if you were in my neck of the woods (South Coast) but it looks like you're at the other end of the state.
Yeah. West. Must have had my compass upside down. On the Mass/NY border.
Taylor usually plays at Tanglewood, a small amphitheater in western Mass., for July 4th and is excellent. I've seen him a couple times. Especially if he plays with a full band. He has a house in that area. I hate the Winters and the snow but the scenery is great. The other 3 seasons are nice.
I have always wondered: How ridiculous do the ticket prices have to get before people just stop going.
Seems like that point has been reached (also due to better options)
Quote from that article - "We are a world now that looks more at screens than at real life, and we're going to get worse about it." - harkens me to my current obsession the serialized British series "Black Mirror". Amazing tv.....pretty scary stuff about where we are probably heading.
