There is a reason why deep passes are low percentage, even in “Dome Sweet Dome”

Well, the fact that wasn’t a tuddy has nothing to do with Browns D

Agreed. Welp, now would be a good time for the Browns defense to show up and at least slow the Texans down some, or they’re gonna be in a hole.

Where has this thing about the Brown’s D come from? I mean they’re talking about #1 Defense and I’m like “wait, wat?”

I was just kind of wondering about that.

Oh my ears and whiskers! Flacco going for the 1st down himself!

Are we supposed to be pulling for the Browns? Personally I think well of Stroud, have a big soft spot for Motor who was such a good soldier here. Also rooting a bit for Flacco, who seems like a good guy and I thought the Ravens did him dirty for a guy who won them a Lombardi But other than that, kinda wish there was a way both these teams could lose.

He did, but I think the defender realized what he was about to do and let go, too

Oh my, Motor! W000t! That was a hole I could have made it through though. And gotta love the defender going for the horse collar then letting go.

Joe Flacco throwing in a dome is like, No Fair.

A valiant effort, but I think the only ways to soothe this fan base is with tasty adult substances followed by a good session of *bleep*

Shavers: PS, can be elevated any time Shorter: IR, had 3 week window to activate open and close, done for year

They could swing by the Cabelas or Bass Pro or whatever it's calling itself now, and say "I'm going to the game, make this work for me" Course, $400 of outdoor gear later and they might as well just have gone for the more expensive seats.

Marcel L-J uses small words and tries to explain clearly: Then L-J ratchets up the degree of difficulty: Many properly equipped athletes play their sport in conditions like this regularly (skiers and cross-country skiers, biathletes, snowboarders, ice climbers, mountaineers etc). And many of these guys do not have heated benches with sideline heaters, heated boxes to place their fleece-lined helmets, or heavy parkas to retreat to. I like this guy though: Pragmatic...but actually, Sunday at 1 pm is forecast to be -3 degrees, so no warmer than Saturday night. Slightly lighter wind so forecast windchill of "only" -18 degrees instead of -22 degrees. Not sure they'll like it any better.

If you know, say so.

Correct I see no lies Put the handwarmers in your boots and your mittens and plug the batteries into your vest, Yungie Found the twitter handle of one of our posters here!

Hokay. The Governor and County Executive and Mayor declared a State of Emergency and ordered everyone off the roads starting at 9 pm tonight with a driving ban, but this is all about the NFL looking out for the Bills, like the NFL and the Bills have a choice to disregard the Gov't SOE and driving ban. Got it. Next? That's because people in KC, including team busses loaded with players, can still drive to the game in the cold. Talk to me about "Princesses" next time you're enjoying the sideline shade in September while the opponent bakes in the sun and 20-25 degree hotter temps. Now put on your woolies and buckle up. Oh yeah and whoever wins get 2 more days rest and the Bills get a short week. Mount that little advantage in your Princess Tiara and stick it on your head. Some Fins Fans get it: "There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing". Put your neoprene ski suit on under your jersey and go play.

OK, sorry to interrupt the beating of breasts and tearing of fellow fans hair with some actual game info. -injury reports will remain unchanged -practice squad elevation deadline is now tomorrow (Sunday) not today (Saturday)

Unless they did it earlier and then released the guys, I dunno. They wouldn't have a practice, but normally would have a street clothes walkthrough on Sat.

Thanks, hopefully that segment will show up on Youtube at some point. The Good News is that the Bills have had so many evening and Monday games that hopefully they've become a bit more accustomed to change. They only had 5 Sunday 1 pm games this season! and 4 Sunday 4:30 games. So 8 of their games were played "out of schedule". Just crossing fingers they adjust. I know we got guys here who know people who know people, just wondering if any insight.

So the players don't normally go straight from practice to the hotel. They practice about 11 am and usually wrap up whatever by 1:30-ish is my understanding, then for a home game they're free until 7 pm. Really good question on "where do the Bills typically stay for home games?" I don't know - hopefully someone does. There was an announcement of Ellicott Hotels as "the official hotel partner of the Buffalo Bills". Ellicot Hotels has a downtown hotel normally about 20 minutes to the stadium, but that seems like a Bad Idea to try to get to or from in a snowstorm. They own a bunch of hotels, but the ones closest to the Stadium are like your Country Inn/Hampton Inn/Staybridge moderate-price niche. Staybridge maybe, if the "Hotel partner" means anything? It's 6 miles from the Stadium and has multiple possible routes. Like they did in London with the Jags game and on the Tuesday game with the Titans, Got It.

The cancellation was announced just as the players would have been at the facility, getting treatments and getting ready for a walk-thru practice. I would guess that the Bills themselves must have known of the plan hours before the presser, so what would they do? Bring the players in and hold walk-thrus anyway, knowing there will be a delay but that they may not be able to bring them in Sunday due to the driving ban? Do they try to get the players into a hotel Sat night so they're all assembled and no worries about having to do "snow removal and QB retrieval service"? Will they try to get them together as per usual schedule on Sunday night, even though there's a driving ban? Or will they let the players be at home until Monday even though they may then be struggling with "snow removal and QB retrieval"?

Just to point out a couple things too. Odell Beckham Jr was traded from the NYG to Cleveland, after he returned from injury in 2018 to a continued decrease in R/G and Y/G from his first couple years. Sounded great - Cleveland had the #1 draft pick of 2018 in Baker Mayfield and he was widely lauded as looking promising his rookie year. Instead Beckham had a new career low in R/G and Y/G dropping from 88 to 65, then the wheels fell off in 2020 with an ACL injury and a 2021 social media furor that led to his release. He had a stroke of luck in being picked up by the Rams just in time for a SB victory, but the point is - demanding and receiving a trade from NYG to CLE did not work out in his career favor overall. Davonte Adams went from an MVP Rodgers season in GB which had him as one of the top 2-3 WR in the league, a Star - to Las Vegas where he is still a top WR in the league, but like one of a dozen or so and now with questions on the team at coach and at QB. The point is, a trade doesn't necessarily work out in a player's favor, and can work out a lot worse than being the favorite target of one of the league's top QB on a regularly contending team, even if the exit is earlier than we think.

Bottom line up front: after the Jags game and then the Chargers game, I lack a little faith in the Bills' sports science or sports medicine department. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how the delay in the schedule will impact the players? I know that one of the factors which seemed to impact them with the postponed 2020 Titans game was the uncertainty - would it be played, when would it be played, was there a health or exposure risk to the Bills plalyers, etc. I want to see our guys give this their best. So normally the routine is: Saturday: walk-through practice, typically from about 11-12 pm. Then if it's a home game, the players will get treatment as needed, watch film on their own, they all have a bit different routine, some may do a light workout. Time with their families. For a home game, they still meet up at the hotel close by the stadium about 7 pm. They have meetings to go over some last-minute stuff. Then team dinner, sometimes position meetings, chapel for those who want it, then curfew. How is this gonna change with the delay? Also I know for some players - they are very disciplined and regimented in what they eat and when for 24 hrs before the game. 'Zo Alexander talked about his personal regime though I can't find the article now, but he normally followed a keto diet his last years in the league, and he had specific supplements he wanted to take at specific times for 24 hrs before kickoff. Anyone got any info on this?

Just updated on NOAA: M.L.King Day: A 40 percent chance of snow showers before 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 19. Southwest wind between 16 and 18 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Monday Night: Snow showers likely after 7pm. Cloudy, with a low around 13. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Basically, not as warm as 20s - 19 degrees is the high - but like half the wind and no forecast for heavy snow during the game. They would have canceled. The rationale for canceling is the driving ban.
