This decision had zero to do with field conditions which will likely be fine.  Erie County isn't devoting all their resources to clearing roads, parking lots and other places to play a football game while a travel ban is in effect so 70K people can come out and cause chaos as they attempt to continue clean up efforts.  Have you ever been in a place with 5+ feet of snow before?

UKBillFan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 One of the previous managers of the soccer team I support refused an offer to have undersoil heating fitted, using the argument what's the point of having it if the access routes are so dangerous the game would be called off anyway.

FilthyBeast Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This is actually a great move and now I think we'll actually win and win big against the Browns even if they run the ball down this defenses throat with success. Â Playing in very bad weather was just asking for an ugly loss similar to the Colts game last year especially with this team in the midst of a 2 game losing streak.

Exactly. We were visiting my mom for Christmas in 2001 when Buffalo itself got 7 feet over a 5 day period. We had to wait another three days for them open the Thruway so that we could drive back home to Bloomington, IN. Even at that, it was a crazy drive until I decided to drive inland at Erie. Two miles from the lake, all the snow was gone. There was like a hard line, where one side of the line there was 6+ feet of snow and on the other side there was no snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed home for Cat 1-3 and ran like hell for Cat4-5. But whatever, the point is you know it’s coming in some form, to some places. If you don’t get out of the way, and you get crushed, that’s on you almost always. When you gamble there are consequences to losing. You don’t want the Bills or NFL taking the flak for getting it wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
