Could be, but as they stated on the video, they might not just be visible. Any aerodynamic braking and downforce from a spoiler is going to be minimal, Of much bigger concern I think is the reverser's not fully engaging. On a snow covered runway that would be one of the last things I would want to see fail. I'm sure we'll have the facts from the NTSB in another 18 months or so.
