If Sunday is clear as it looks like it will be - we're winning the game, regardless of how many fans can get there.

 

It might be cold and windy, but it sounds like the snow should be done falling by game time. 


So then the issue is how well the field has been cleared and all that.

 

I would imagine they'll get it cleared by game time, unless it's constantly showing.

PFT put out a Tweet that says the forecast is calling for SIX FEET of snow.  Yes they capitalized it.   So maybe there are willing it to happen.   Have we actually heard 72" in any forecast?!?   It's getting more by the minute.

 

Maybe those are baby feet being measured by the same ones who do player ratings.

Both of those would be considered "home" teams on home fields (I'm also not sure the Bills didn't fly to Toronto, although Ralph was cheap). I'm talking a visiting team driving to the other team.

 

Washington @ Baltimore or Baltimore @ Washington.

But can the Teams actually travel and then get to the stadium.

 Done falling , but its going to fall faster then they can move it off the streets etc

 Need heavy equipment and time to clear that much snow , from expereience I speak.

Refer to national weather service for most accurate predictions. All other weather forecasting companies forecasts are generated from NWS data. 

 

Looks like its going to be an interesting weekend in Buffalo!

and looks from this report there will be wet heavy snow and ice under the later snowfalls if they cannot keep up (they probably cannot.

 Go Bills

 Bunch of babies... This is more than 1/2 the all-time record SEASONAL snowfall for CHICAGO (1978). MORE than the seasonal average... In just one storm.

 

BFLo does more with less.

 

Milwaukee 

Chicago 

Detroit 

Pittsburgh 

 

Get this one storm for a whole season and they spend more per mile on snow removal...

 

Maybe Florida can send some money... We send money to clean up after the hurricanes. 😏...

If my memory is any good, seems like some of the most miserable weather games in past decades were 3 point losses to the likes of the Browns & Bengals - 6-to-3 or 16-13 type scores.  Would like to see a strong Bills victory this weekend, but just get the W at least.

8-0 Cleveland in the 2007 blizzard game in Cleveland.

It's how Canadians have sex. Doggie style, so they both can watch Hockey Night in Canada.

 

Nonsense no Canadian is going to miss some hockey by changing position so activity room will have multiple TVs of different sizes on all around room.  Canadian sex foreplay determines which game is on and which game has sound.

The Bills beat the Colts in the snow bowl of 2017. Lost to the Pats in the wind bowl of 2021.

We can this a light dusting

 

Dude nobody calls this a light dusting. Unless you live in the Northtowns where everyone else gets buried and you get nothing.

 

Won't be the case this time tho. Even Niagara Falls and Lockport getting in on the fun Saturday

I love weather games. It's maybe the one thing I agree with the NFL on. I want the drama.

This is a potentially life threatening situation, there is going to be plenty of real-life drama not associated with football for this event. Roofs caving in, medical emergencies with no way of getting to the people, carbon monoxide deaths from people not clearing vents and/or being stuck in their cars, travel bans, etc, etc.  NFL needs to not be idiots and move the game. Football is a secondary concern at this point.

The only problem is the lions actually play at 1PM on sunday so... thats gonna be tough to get any detroit fans to come out and support the team.  

 

They also play cleveland and they sort of fit the same rust belt persona as detroit and buffalo.  

don't need any Detroit fans...Bills fans traveled to the last game there when Bills home game vs Jets was moved there, and almost sold it out. 🤷‍♂️

i could'nt agree with you more,its the fact that they think the band will be south of the stadium by 900 am,so everything will be fine,i guess they have no consideration either for the thousands that have to come from the south,219 between ashford and eville gets closed multiple times a year for accidents

The semi enclosed roof and wind deflection will help.  Just what falls in middle.  Why not heat the field like at Lambeau...

 

Like ski resorts.  They get dumped on nightly... Everything heated at base. They can heat the sidewalks around stadium.

new stadium field is planned to be heated. And real grass.
