I blame Bon Jovi if this happens!

 

I call BS by whoever the source is. I doubt they could even attempt that sort of thing without offering a full refund to season ticket holders, and others to those that will not drive North. The logistics of that would be insane.

Brandon would be stuck with a lot of "inventory" in Toronto.

Just heard on a Toronto sports talk show that the Jets game may be moved to the Rodgers center due the "state of emergency" in the Western NY area.

 

Yeah, just on Toronto radio.

 

How ridiculous when they can just move the time of the game from Sunday to Monday, if need be. Any of the problems on why they'd delay the game are not resolved by moving it to Toronto. The snow would be in check from Friday on. Right now it is just getting the players in for practice.

 

Dumb. Dumb radio station.

The Jets and Bills Week 12 game at Ralph Wilson Stadium is still scheduled for 1 PM ET Sunday despite seven feet of snow expected in Buffalo.

Yes, that's SEVEN FEET. Buffalo has already gotten upwards of four feet of white powder, and another 1.5 to 3 feet are expected overnight Wednesday. The Bills aren't able to practice Wednesday, as the coaches and players can't all make it to the facility. The Ralph Wilson Stadium crew has removed over 220,000 tons of snow from the playing surface. We'd think the NFL will need to decide the game's status by Thursday afternoon.

Would it even be shown nationally? The MNF scheduled game is Ravens-Saints. I hope it would still be shown via NFL Ticket.

That would suck if there was no way to get the game outside of local WNY and NYC markets...but I don't think Sunday Ticket ever has the rights to broadcast games outside of Sunday afternoons so I suppose it could happen....

They should move it to Monday. That extra day would really help with practice and snow removal. They should play it at 6pm, and televise it nationally, before the originally scheduled MNF game.

 

It does give us a short week before the Browns game, but we have 2 straight home games so without the need to travel it helps.

6 PM would cause an overlap with the already scheduled 8:30 PM MNF game. 5 PM would be a more likely time IMO.

Instead of missing a day of practice this week, you're missing a day of practice next week. What's the difference?

 

Traditional Monday is rest recovery and film. Tuesday is an off day. Practice Wednesday Thursday Friday.

 

When you play Monday you give the players their off day Tuesday, give them their film on iPads and do a couple extra film sessions on Wednesday Thursday Friday. It's not that big a deal.

When did snow become such a big problem for buffalo? Whoever is in charge of the plowing and salting of the streets here needs to be fired. Everybody knew this was coming and the mayor was on tv bragging how ready they were last week and now everyone looks stupid.

 

you sir, are either a complete idiot, or just trying to get a rise....ill bite...

 

its a pretty historic amount of snow fall in a very short period of time, making it IMPOSSIBLE for plows to even attempt to keep up with the snowfall and keeping roads clear...add to that, the stranded vehicles blocking any attempt of plows to clear roads, and you make the situation even more impossible to keep up....and then add to the fact that you have 6 feet of snow in a large area that you need to physically REMOVE from the area, not just move it around...and you have a nearly impossible situation for a few days
