Maybe the game gets moved to Detroit. A sort of plus for us since we play there four days later on Thanksgiving. Less travel.

Yes please.....Josh under a roof or retroroof:

 

251 passing ypg

17 passing TD's, 5 Rushing TD's, 6 INT's

111.3 passer rating

6-2

 

Great way to get out of a slump.

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.

EXACTLY! Jim Brown only scored once here:

The passing team won... In 1958!!

Yup, that was a great game. Fins couldn’t stop the passing game in the snow. That was the division round by the way. The next week was the 51-3 game.

2014: ”members of the Bills organization will leave Friday morning…”

 

Feels like we will get Detroit location  announced Thursday by noon. 

That would be a tough call to make before any snow has fallen. Could look pretty silly if the actual snowfall ends up being less than expected.

Not really - if you wait any longer, you run the risk of the Bills not getting to Detroit by game time. Toss in officials, TV crews, referees and fans and you can see why earlier is better.

I think it gets played at home, the worst of it supposed to be over by Saturday and the band is supposed to shift to the north.  The biggest problem will be fans getting to the game, and players/officials....but it's not something that has never been done before.   The actual weather over the stadium isn't supposed to be terrible on Sunday....basically windy and cold.
