I can think of 3 weather delays already this year. Broncos vs Ravens last week, Bucs vs Saints and now Seahawks vs 49ers this week. Are they just being extra careful now? I can only remember 1 weather delay/cancelled game, that doesn't include a dome collapse, in my life and that was a preseason game between the Packers and Chiefs about 10 years ago. Plus I think it's rained in nearly every game this year as well.
And is it all related to how many safeties there have been in the first 2 weeks? Crazy year.
What's with all the weather delays?

Re: What's with all the weather delays?
I've been thinking the same thing. Crazy year with the delays and safeties.
What's with a majority of the primetime games sucking the last couple of years, too? Blah. Hopefully tonight is a good one, with the Bengals winning!

They only delay games in NFL if there is lightning.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Bah, stupid global climate change. Now it's ruining football too. 
Well the Bengals won, but it was far from being a good game. Damn what happened to the Steelers? I'm glad they're on the schedule now haha. Watch the Vikes make them look like champs again.

So true.Reignman wrote:We have a nasty habit of helping teams correct their issues.
And you're right, the Bengals/Steelers game was far from a good one. I don't think the Raiders/Broncos will be much better.
Who picks these primetime games? It won't be worth watching beyond the first quarter! There are so many other games this weekend more worthy of primetime than this one.
