Big Turk Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Looks like there is good potential for Lake Effect snow in the Forecast Discussion on NOAA Buffalo for Sunday after a frontal passage on late Saturday/early Sunday... Could make for an interesting game if we are scheduled to play Sunday... Edited January 10, 2021 by Big Turk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The popularity of NFL has increased a lot over the past 10 years.. particularly with the younger crowd... One theory I have is that its a great betting sport and Aussies are pretty crazy gamblers.. so as sports gambling is now pretty prevalent in all bars than this has helped increase the interest.. GIven the time difference with the night US games lining up with lunchtime on the East Coast of Aust, its pretty common to walk into a bar at that time and there being at least one TV on showing the game,.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People - snow IS NOT detrimental to a passing game unless it’s heavy like the 2017 Indy game. Think of all the Jim Kelly playoff games. Footing is not nearly the issue for the WR who knows where he’s going as it is to the DB who’s reacting to the route 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Running Allen right then running him left might be very hard to stop in a real snow game. Can't see Lamar's speed and dime cutting working all that well in those conditions and Big Ben may just want to stay in and take a nap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 This is a team built for a dome not to play in snow. Let's hope it is 38 and sunny. And anyone growing up in Buffalo knows there is no point to check the weather until 2 hours before kickoff and then again at half-time. That's the only time you will have a hint of what it will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds nice but not true. A few weeks ago they posted a Winter Storm Watch 3 days before it got here and it did pretty much exactly what they said it would. Lake effect is tricky to predict in terms of exactly where the bands will set up because even very small shifts in wind direction can make the difference between no snow and 2 feet of snow. Additionally the timing of when it starts and how much moisture will be available and if there is any atmospheric shearing and/or pockets of dry air are hard to predict but the overall outcome is more accurately predicted in advance.

Steptide Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I DO NOT want bad weather. Our weakest part of the offense is the run game. 4 minutes ago, Seasons1992 said: I want a blizzard.

716er Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 From what I can see it looks like both Saturday and Sunday have the same chance for lake effect at this point. NFL wants a snow game - extra ratings. Will they schedule the Bills game for the timeslot with the best chance of snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that yesterday and it was so worth it. Crack open a brew at noon and hit the "play" button. Let's go Buffalo! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your second paragraph pretty much disagrees with your first and supports my post. There is little chance to know what the weather conditions will be like until a few hours before game time if that. 31 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: I'm not worried either way.

Do you think when it snows really hard that the Bills practice outside or in the field house? There is no advantage for the Bills in a snow game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I don't want it to snow, not at all, but if it does and it's supposed to snow hard we need to break out the reds and make the ravens wear white. Visibility is a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
