Royale with Cheese Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 11 minutes ago, Buffalo Super Fan said: The Buffalo Bills deserve this for being cheap, stubborn and stupid not putting a dome on our stadium like Detroit in a snow belt Orchard Park. So basically once a year we are going to have a road game in Detroit because we are too cheap, stubborn and stupid because we won’t dome our stadium got it. Because Detroit was smart putting a dome on there stadium the Bills will play there once or twice a year in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Once or twice a year huh? Cleveland's dome has helped them in their snow games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The NFL likes to schedule the; Bills at home in Nov Dec Jan. I don't know why, but study the schedule back two decades. One of the reasons I dropped the seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, in the 49 years we have been in that stadium, this has happened all of ONCE. It might happen again this week, which would bring us up to once every quarter century, basically. . 24 minutes ago, BillsFanSD said: The last serious snow game was five years ago, and it was pretty epic. This isn't anywhere close to a "once a year" thing. Edit: Also, they'd probably be talking about moving the game even if we had a dome. The issue as I understand it is with getting the Browns into Buffalo and getting everyone to and from the stadium safely. A dome wouldn't help with any of that stuff. Exactly, you can’t play the game if you can’t get TO the stadium, with or without a dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Dome or no dome Bills fans wouldn't be able to go anyway. That is a lot of snow even for WNY. I doubt anyone would be on the road except for plows and emergency crews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 A lot of people seem to think a game in Detroit (no weather or wind) would benefit the Bills over the Browns. If it happens, i sure hope so. They still would have to stop the Browns running game and Nick Chubb on a dry track. Don't want to hear any excuses about injuries, travel, illness, adversity, routines disrupted, etc... Bills just need to win the darn game.

HopelessNJBuffaloFan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The snow has nothing to do with us having or not having a Dome. I would say a state of emergency would be declared with nobody on the road but emergency vehicles. Getting to and from the stadium is the biggest problem. Would it even be safe for anyone on the road if the worse case snow totals happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I agree, they HAVE to move the gam or else have no fans in attendance.

zow2 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The thing is,,, are they gonna wait until the worst possible weather conditions to move all the Bills players/coaches/equipment/gear over to Detroit? I mean the big event starts later tonight so this is the worst possible timing. They kind of need to mobilize now i would think,,, (if they are really planning to move it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Looks like Detroit isn't the only option being looked at (thanks for the tip, @Mike in Horseheads): One problem with moving the game to Detroit is that the Bills would lose their home-field advantage against the Browns as Cleveland is only a 2.5 hour drive from Detroit. On the other hand though, the Bills would get a slight benefit because they wouldn't have to travel for their Thanksgiving game. According to Cleveland.com, the NFL is also considering several other locations for the game (Stadiums in Philadelphia, Washington and Carolina are all available if the league doesn't want to move Bills-Browns so close to Cleveland). https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-could-move-browns-bills-game-out-of-buffalo-due-to-epic-snowstorm-heres-what-the-league-is-considering/ Edited November 17, 2022 by Gugny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Make Cleveland leave now & sleep in the team buses like the RV fans do.😈 Get the Bills to bunk at the players homes nearest the stadium & send emergency vehicles to get them. The Bills played in empty stadiums 2 years ago. Just give ticket holders the option to not attend & get a refund if they don't. The problem is the secondary market, but that's not the Bills ticket office's problem. The fans who bought on the secondary market will have to deal with the company that sold them the seats. PS: According to WGR the playing conditions on Sunday should be pretty good, with most if not all of the snow ending before game time. Edited November 17, 2022 by Albany,n.y.

Billsflyer12 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 As a pilot who has flown NFL charters it’s definitely not as easy as “fire up the ole jet, let’s go to Detroit.” The Bills charter a plane with big airline, usually a wide body 767 that is planned way in advance. The big airlines don’t keep a standby 767 for sports charter purposes. To fly out quickly last minute today would be a real challenge. They would have likely had to plan this yesterday or day before. I suppose they could always take buses last minute. 😂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that going to be followed by a sudden temperature raise? Like my flood in Houston, it was non-stop raining in Houston for a day and wife and I took turns watching the water levels. About 11 she crawls in to bed and said we are ok, the rain has stopped. I got up and the water was abut a foot from flooding our house. I went back and told her you are sleeping tonight, were are going to start moving rugs and furniture. Within a few hours were flooded. I went thru the Blizzard of 77, these are the type of number's were are talking about here. I had 4 days of school in February. The county will be in trouble most likely for days. In the blizzard of 77 they loaded empty railcars with snow just to get rid of it. 4 minutes ago, Buffalo619 said: This is your typical 2022 overreaction. Storm will be over by Saturday morning.
