Great poker face by him. Would they announce they will play the game with no fans (if the storm ends mid-day Sat. Just stay at stadium or nearby hotel, etc?)

Loser syndrome? It isn't texas? Really, I never thought of that. My point about the flood in Houston was the just because it stops raining, doesnt mean the threat of a flood is over. Just because it stops snowing doesn't mean the threat of a crisis is over. The snow doesn't miraculously disappear as long as temps are expected to remain low.. If in fact WNY get 48-60 inches of snow, it will be days before it is cleaned up. We shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Thanksgiving the rest of our games our in cold/crap weather locations . I agree. It sucks for the fans who were looking forward to it but from a selfish POV the team is in the sh*t at the moment and need to get back on track. I don't have faith that playing a team like the Browns in a snowstorm is the best way to do that. Of course if they play in a dome and still lose I'll be wishing they played in the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionC3 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) I’m not happy that I can’t go to the game. And there won’t be a refund. The Bills will just roll the money over to next year, and raise STH prices by the cost of this game. The same nonsense they pulled with the last game, IIRC. But for football reasons, this makes all the sense in the world. Snow is an equalizer. We should throttle this team. Play it in Detroit with no fans. I’m totally fine with that. We can even leave some of our stuff there if we’re so inclined for later in the week. Much better than doing the Philly/DC/NYC thing. **EDIT - this presumes the game is moving. And, knowing Mark pretty well, and guessing that he wouldn’t have said what he did had he not known of the plan of the Bills and the NFL with respect to the game, I strongly suspect it’s moving and that the Bills are picking up shop and heading somewhere else (likely Detroit) shortly.

When this happened in 2014 Poloncarz was pretty adamant that community welfare was more important than a football game. He was right.

It might happen again this week, which would bring us up to once every quarter century, basically. . Exactly, you can’t play the game if you can’t get TO the stadium, with or without a dome. What should we all expect from a guy with the handle "Buffalo Super Fan"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right. The game probably is going to have to move. He is absolutely right. Could you imagine the backlash if people die because medical emergencies happen and they can't get to the places to help because the resources are out trying to clear the stadium area for a game?
