YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 2m2 minutes ago Update from #Bills source: "it looks like Detroit is the leading destination for the game on Monday night." Kyloe Orton = undefeated in Detroit. Just sayin. Edited November 21, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How do the Bills get to the airport if they are snowed in? Teams usually travel for away games on Saturday so maybe they anticipate the travel ban being lifted in time. Or maybe they will try and get there sooner in order to have at least a day of organized practice. This is really an unusual situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How do the Bills get to the airport if they are snowed in? Airport should be open by Saturday, and if it isn't, they'll just bus there through Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 How do the Bills get to the airport if they are snowed in? I don't think they will still be snowed in by then. Based on forecast, snow should melt over the weekend. But just no chance of having RWS ready to host a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Travel ban could be lifted tomorrow. So full practice at OBD Friday, Sat, Sun am. Sunday night travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dokken Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I guess I'm surprised the Carrier Dome wasn't a stronger contender. I mean, I know there's a rink in place for a hockey game there on Saturday, but according to the building's managing director, they'd be ready for Monday night: http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2014/11/syracuse_carrier_dome_available_buffalo_bills_nfl_monday.html?hootPostID=6d446756aa9a51b19bc174f1904f2bcf Whatever.

OhDozeBills Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How many fans do you think will show for a Bills/Jets game in Detroit? I realize there are bigger issues here, but it sure does suck that we finally get rid of the Toronto game and here we are with 7 home games again. The storm is supposed to end tonight, I just can't believe they wouldn't be able to clear the snow in 3-4 days time if NFL moved the game to Monday or Tuesday.

Kaz Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Apparently the NFL will not allow the game to be played in a non-NFL venue. Aren't the Vikings playing their entire home schedule in a non-NFL venue this year? And the Bills can't play one lousy game there due to a special circumstance? The NFL is whack.

Only around 3 hours for me! Not sure how my brother would get there... I suppose if he can get his car out... He's got my other ticket. Anybody know how to get tickets to somebody quick in this case?

Major Mud Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Apparently the NFL will not allow the game to be played in a non-NFL venue. You would think special circumstances would come into play. A natural disaster is just that. Didn't the Saints play in San Antonio post Katrina? That was a non NFL venue.

zonabb Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Apparently the NFL will not allow the game to be played in a non-NFL venue. Oh, you mean like London. Oh wait, you mean like Toronto. NFL will always do whats best for the NFL and not the fans. No reason whatsoever this game shouldn't be in Syracuse. First, it would reduce the travel for the Jets (minimally) and then the Bills. Second, it would allow both teams to actually get their fans into the stadium. Third, the CBS production vans are here and they'd have to travel less. But alas, putting a few dollars more in the pockets of another NFL owner and concessionairre matters more. Protect the $hield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
