Sunday's game vs Cleveland is being moved to Detroit

[Buffalo Super Fan]

And the Buffalo Bills are going to grow natural grass in the new Bills stadium with no roof in Buffalo in a snow belt Orchard Park? What a joke the NFL should require New York State to put a dome on the new Bills stadium if Buffalo wants to stay in the NFL. MLB required Phoenix to have a dome same for Las Vegas if they get the Oakland Athletics. Buffalo shouldn’t be allowed outdoor stadium anymore. This is the second game moved and two others should have been moved the weather was so bad the Indianapolis Colts game and the New England Patriots game. How is tailgating this weekend Bills Mafia I don’t want a dome what a joke the NFL made the decision Detroit which could cost this team a playoff spot just like the Bills Toronto Series playing extra road game in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

maybe they'll be able to contain him like they did henry earlier in the season. I know the defense has been banged up and had problems stopping the run since then but maybe they step up to the challenge sunday?

Contain is the key word. Stack the box, force Brissett to throw, blah blah blah. The usual. I hope they don’t go exclusively nickel.

How many games did New Orleans play in San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina?  Did the dome help them?

Bills beat themselves. All 3 games the same thing. They had a chance to make plays and finish those games multiple times and just didn't.

Yes, agreed. The Miami game wasn’t really beating themselves, they were beat by weather & injuries, but I hear u. It would take a collapse of epic epic proportions to lose this game. I have never been so confident in a W. I think we are going to see Buffalo play with a lot of anger.

Detroit being only 2.5 hrs from Cleveland and the fact that nobody will be able to get out of Buffalo on Saturday may make this a defacto home game for the Browns. 

If you’re only moderately smart you can!

Obviously,you get out asap to go North across the 401.

By morons that don't understand that the in-game weather has no bearing on this decision.

Agreed, but also is still a good reason to have a dome. Stupid to live in a place that can get predictions of 3 to 6ft and not have a dome.

 

Is it smart to have primary vehicle be a convertible, because you hsve a garage lol

Talk about taking facts and twisting. 
New Oreans literally used the dome DURING the hurricane to save hundreds of lives.

They left 20-25 pts on the field that game. Missed FG, dropped TD by Davis, Allen turfing a wide open TD to McKenzie, etc.

Please explain how a dome would stop snow from falling all over Buffalo. Moving the game has nothing to do with the actual field or the stadium, why are so many people not understanding this??

5 days later it was evacuated and they played on the road for a season.  The point is acts of god can impact a dome environment too. 
 

For snow - Minnesota had to play on a college field when their dome roof couldn’t hold the snow.

You're aware that "dome" was an inflatable bag of gas? A little different now.

Well they are domers who are unhappy with not getting a dome paid by someone else  so add it to unrelated threads.  Next they will go to games and wear domes on their heads like the bag heads who went to games with bag on their heads.

 

 

Bag heads at least make more sense because it hid their faces so they were ridiculed less except when they took it off to throw up or opened their mouths to talk about it.

Circus of sadness

[Livinginthepast]

I'm quite relieved this game has been moved. Unlike many of the posters here who thought that 2017 Colts snow game was the coolest thing ever. I thought it was an embarrassment. But I was more worried it would be like the 2007 Bills Browns game in Cleveland where 8 years into the drought we went to Cleveland with the playoffs on the line and played in the worst conditions Ive ever seen for a game. Lost 8-0 and were knocked out of the playoffs. I remember thinking why bother playing this game under such horrendous conditions? It was a terrible product from an already meh Bills team.

Was flying into BUF w family for the game. Just changed airline tix to DTW.   I’m not that familiar w Detroit.  Anyone have a recommendation for a good area / hotel to stay?  And good restaurant for Saturday night?

NEWSFLASH: Both teams came into that game with identical records.  Cleveland still missed the playoffs too!

 

It wasn't the snow.

 

Cleveland went 2-1 last 3 games and still didn't get in at 10-6. Bills lost out last three games.  That game meant squat to Bills...

Completely different scenario.  A more fair comparison would be when they(and other florida teams)  do move games due to Hurricanes.

Even worse... They let the visiting team take sun side and don't build a shaded area for them. Heat stroke is quicker than freezing.

I am curious on percentage of gate proceeds which Detroit Lions.

Two straight games in a dome vs garbage defenses. After that the last 6 games our in cold/bad weather. 

 

Good opportunity for Allen to keep his slim mvp hopes alive. But he needs to get 7 passing TDs and 0 picks. He can do it. 

As I was agreeing with a bunch of people on reddit that Allen wasn’t playing great I ended up convincing myself he still has a good chance at mvp somehow haha

 

IF he cuts down on the turnovers he’s still in good shape (could be a big if I know). He’s leading all qbs in total yards right now when you factor in rushing yds and he’s a couple tds behind mahomes in total tds.

 

there’s a pretty good chance he keeps it at 15 ints or less and racks up a ton of tds/total yards but will it be enough to catch mahomes is the question

Is there a Bills Detroit tailgate thing? It looks like not!  Then, is there a Bills bar strip area people plan to overrun (Sat night).

Have only had “Detroit pizza” a couple times and it wasn’t authentic (though it wasn’t the Pizza Hut version at least), and I’d look around if I were going (but I’m pizza-obsessed).  Think it could be similar char cup pepperoni like Buffalo. 
 

This is wiki- 

 

Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pizza with a thick crust that is crispy and chewy. It is traditionally topped with Wisconsin brick cheese that goes all the way to the edges and caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan.

Interesting:

 

"The team is planning to use the visitors side of everything in Ford Field so that it is the same when they return for the game four days later."

 

Spying???

 

I wonder if they'll use the home or away locker room? Before SB XVI, Darryl Talley was not happy, since the Bill were designated as the home team in Minneapolis, but got assigned the visitors' locker room. He said the home team locker rooms were usually plusher.

Snow update: It’s snowing.

I read somewhere they are going to use the visiting locker rooms.

The nation is (incorrectly) flaming Buffalo for going to Detroit to play. I am not happy with their ignorance. The NFL made this decision, not Buffalo.

Ignorant people are going to be ignorant....    

 

I personally do not care what some randoms think about why the game is being moved.   As I mentioned previously, the NFL moves games for hurricanes.  I thought Floridians didn't care about a little bit of rain.  That is the comparison to chirpy Dolphins fans.

 

It's a safety issue. Not a gameday, playing surface issue.

There wasn't an ambulance chasing personal injury lawyer on the back of every phone book and on every billboard back then.  The liability of inviting 70K people to your venue during a blizzard would be an invitation to get sued into oblivion when things inevitably go sideways for some of those people.

If you drive stay off of I-90, take the route that goes through Akron and Mansfield and Findlay to stay away from lake effect as much as possible.  It's a bit longer but nothing is worse than Lake Erie snow squalls.
