Edit: Based on some comments from others below, looks like this could end up being a monster storm. So if field conditions are bad, that's going to favor the run game even more.

WyoAZBillfan Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Adversity builds character, use that character to build a snow army to tackle Chubb/Hunt! Solid game plan.

Nextmanup Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 42 minutes ago, Big Turk said: Why do people assume snow games require running? Unless it is very windy, throwing the ball is highly effective as the WRs have the advantage of knowing where they are going and potential for big plays due to slipping and falling. We had quite a few snow games with the Kelly era Bills that were air raids. The wildcard playoff game against Miami for one. Yeah, it's not that simple at all. A lot of bad snow games are damned near impossible to throw very well, simply b/c everyone on the field is slipping and sliding, including the receivers who know where they are going. Snow = messy, old school, lousy football, more often than not. They are talking about a massive snow storm; if that thing hits, it will be difficult to play football at all. God forbid these idiots would build a dome, and put it downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billz4ever Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The league is going to have to make the call soon if it's supposed to start on Thursday night. With those snow totals, airport will probably close and the team will most likely have to bus to Detroit or wherever if they chose to move the game.
