We believed wed be able to play the game in its duration in the window we had, We have meteorological firms that monitor conditions, both nationally and locally, heading into the weekend, and then we keep monitoring them in real time all the way up to kickoff. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthys statement about the late call to suspend the Ravens/Bears game at Soldier Field Sunday. IMO this is straight BS. NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center had issued a PDS Tornado Watch at 8:40am that included Chicago and the NWS #Chicago had successive forecast discussions that warned of tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms. In fact, multiple times it stressed the need for high awareness. Im not sure what fantasy world the NFL is living in, but all things considered, they should have delayed the start of this game and not resumed until the threat had passed. Safety first always. I also think they need a new meteorological firm. Done ranting.
