How is twitter worse?   It's always been a cesspool of elitism and garbage takes.   Seems the same now as 2 months or 2 years ago.  

depends on how you look at it. not everyone's eyes see the same thing. some really dig the cesspool, while others find it to be mostly garbage. I find the bills/nfl related material to be okay and all I will ever look at, primarily here on this site.

 

as I had mentioned, to each their own. takes all kinds to make the world go 'round...

The equipment trucks all travel by road. Hopefully they left already.

Players might not be able to get to airport tho. I'm less than 2 miles from the stadium. I can't even drive on a road, even in an emergency, currently.

There is one path cut through the street, but it would be impossible to get out of the driveway, as the snowbank caused by the plow going down the street is chest high.

hmm. well snowmobiles may be in play here? The stadium vicinity is being hammered as we speak.

[ngbills]

They need to move game back to 4pm at least. If not make it a 8pm game. Who knows when on Sat Bills will fly out. At least gives them time for Sunday morning walk through or late Sat night walk through. Not to mention time for the equipment crew to get things settled.

The season too. Even if Bills won that game and won out, they still would have missed the playoffs..  Even at 10-6. Cleveland was 10-6 and missed playoffs...

 

It was win and in for us with three games to go…we must’ve been in better tiebreaker shape

time will tell hermano. It reads to me that there is wide disparity between one part of town to another as far as current snowfall. Blizzard of 77 was massive in its amount of snow over a wide geographical area.

 

This is the beginning and more storm is coming into Sunday we shall see.

Naw, the Blizzard of 77' wasn't a Lake Effect event. The lake froze over early that year and there was a steady accumulation of snow until 75mph winds from the north blew two months of snow off of Lake Ontario onto WNY and across 7 counties. 

 

There were 30 feet drifts in some places, with near Hurricane force winds.

Yeah, sounds more like a storm I remember in 84-85, right around New Year's.  The city just kept getting hammered by lake effect for days.  Nothing was moving.  I was a couple hours east at the time and we had little or no snow.  However, friends tried to go in and "rescue" another friend who was trying to get out.  They got almost to East Aurora and ran into snow drifts bigger than their car...turned around and gave up.  The friend, trapped in downtown Buffalo, would call with updates.  About day 3 he called to say a plow had finally come down his street....and got stuck.  Nothing much got into or out of the city for about a week.

For all the "why did they move the game" people.  Would you be willing to go shovel that stuff out?

My dad was constantly "volunteering" me to do the driveway.

 

The funny thing was, I joined the Air Force right after the Blizzard of '77 and he immediately went and bought a snowblower.

I'm loving all the fake tough guys on Twitter saying the NFL are pansies for moving the game and how they would gladly play in it and played in far worse in high school.

 

Beane needs to contact some of these men and get them in for a tryout

I made some good money as (I was 16 in '77) a kid shoveling snow. that was driveways and sidewalks, no way would I shovel that snow out of that stadium. even as a kid.

Dads are funny that way.  I'm beginning to doubt his story of having to beat off a Grizzly Bear with his loose-leaf notebook

It's not even that. That's the easy part, once people can actually get to the stadium! Which might be next week Tuesday.

I hear you, but I don't know about "easy".  My brother just sent pictures of his house in Alden (2 feet), and he said it was some

heavy damn stuff.

No doubt! Just saying it takes a lot more time remedying the state of emergency on the roads surrounding the stadium before enough people can even get there to do anything about it.

Should've played in Buffalo.

Just over an hour until the 2pm presale...anyone hear anything?  Nothing in my email, nothing in junk, nothing on Bills Twitter, nothing on Bills website, nothing on Bills app.  Maybe they are putting details out on Tik Tok??

Nothing. Been scouring. Just hope the Taylor Swift Bots don't snag all the tickets in 2 minutes then resell on stubhub for $200+

We would have been out. Just like Cleveland... But Cleveland did lose one. Bills eventually lost all three. The Giants beat them next game. Guess what they did that season? 😉 

Nothing to do with the weather...

I get that everyone involved is in a mad scramble, but is it too much to ask to get a price range?  Certainly they know how much they're charging by now.

[Son of a K-Gun]

Just received the email...no pricing details yet, 6 ticket limit

it is not the greatest look for the Bills to be tardy with this very pertinent information. Im calling not prepared for this event.  In view of the circumstances it seems this is all being decided on the fly . Is that reasonable? That's debatable 

 

 

[Warriorspikes51]

in 2014 when this happened they were Free.   They need to be 75% off or more

They're banking on almost 100% of season ticket holders buying all the tickets for the game in Detroit?

PizzaPapalis in Greektown was a post-game staple, but sadly they didn't survive the pandemic.  So sad seeing great establishments just disappear.  Wanted to take my kid for steak at Ditka's when we were in Chicago a few weeks ago and they shut their doors as well.  If Ditka's can't make it in Chicago who the hell can??

that was the one I was thinking of. Haven't been to Detroit since the big C. Bummer. How about Nikky's?

Looks like they are still there but never tried their pizza...we always went to Papalis.  Definite bummer.

That was an event a month and a half in the making---it snowed for 35 straight days prior to that and there were a lot of plows down and broken due to how much they were in use prior to the actual storm itself. The wind blew the snow with such force that it crystallized and turned into something like concrete and wasn't even be able to be moved by plows, they had to use heavy equipment to break it.

 

When they talk about once in a 1,000 year events, this literally was one of them...the required things that had to happen for such a long time prior to the actual storm occurring were crazy.
