I don't think it's a big deal, but people here seem to like trying to make it a big deal. It’s a nice plan. Some of these guys live in my neighborhood. I have no idea how the eff they will get down the street. And, even if the town plows, there is going to be a mountain of heavy wet snow in the driveway that someone is going to have to plow or dig through to get a car out. It might take hours to do that. The other option is that someone drives around in a plow and picks everyone up. This is a problem. 3 minutes ago, zow2 said: I know where poyer lives. She has a point.

SectionC3 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 How Dawson Knox is going to get down his driveway is beyond me. The list goes on and on. This is a mess. They may literally have to pick each of these guys up individually and have a plan as to how to get each one of them out. Time to get the snowmobiles lined up.

Beast Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 If the Bills have issues getting out of Buffalo the NFL may have no choice but to move the game to Monday Night and move the Thanksgiving Day game to Friday or Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 They should have left for Detroit as soon as they made the call to move it there. That should have been built in to the logic. I would have tried hard to get a practice or two on the field to get used to the turf. I also would have just had them stay until the game Thursday but that’s me. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not moving Thanksgiving. No way. Bills-Browns at 12:30, Bills-Lions at 4:30. Bills Thanksgiving doubleheader!

Process Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'm sure this has never come up so just want to say that spending a billion dollars of taxpayer money to put an open air stadium in the middle of a ****ing snowbelt is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If open air at least put it north of the city. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I guess a bunch of us knew better than Beane and McD to get outta there yesterday after the announcement. Oh well, can’t change it. I’ll be amazed if all these players and staff can get out tomorrow. And i agree the game will probably have to be moved to Sunday night. Maybe the compressed week will force the Bills to hunker down in Detroit until Thursday. It’s bad enough they literally aren’t practicing leading up to this Cleveland game. What a mess.

zow2 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 FWIW the Buffalo airport is open and a couple Delta flights landed and departed this evening. If these guys can get to the airport it shouldn’t be a big deal to leave on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the snow - I’ve lived here all my life - there’s no way these guys are getting out by car before tomorrow night. No way. The bills either dig each of these guys out or they move them in snowmobiles. It’s nuts. Snowvember is the only similar situation I can think of.

I think the Detroit Thanksgiving game is in stone, in that time slot. It’s been that way for decades and would be a logistical headache to change it. Also it’s a Lions home game, and they’ve sold tickets for that day. There’s really no reason to mess up another teams schedule. If they have to reschedule any game i think it will be this Bills/Browns game. and if it can’t be played by 1pm or by Sunday night they will find a way to fit it in another week. Hopefully all the players can get safely out of their homes and to the airport and avoid all this. but what about equipment trucks, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Josina Anderson of CBS Sports spoke to an NFL source who expressed concern that the Bills may not even be able to fly out of Buffalo. “Snow is coming down hard right now,” the source told Anderson. “I don’t know what’s the contingency if everyone can’t make it to the airport or we can’t fly out.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 What a mess. I guess they must have had their reasons for waiting - it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, though.

It just seems like common sense. The county is putting a driving ban on, NY issued a state of emergency, the league moved the game, snow is starting to come down from the sky last night. How many clues does an org need? If the Bills don't make it to the game on time I could see a forfeit imposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loedward22 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 What is the price of this one game to the NFL? i.e. if they don’t produce this one game how much does it cost them to the TV network that would carry it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Saw on The Weather Channel a few mins ago that around 8pm the highest recorded snow total so far in WNY is none other than the home of the Buffalo Bills, Orchard Park with 66”. Next closest is Hamburg with 54” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Rumor is that the first 53 fans wearing Bills gear that get to Ford field on Sunday get to play the Browns….since obviously the players won’t be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
