I love all the garbage people on here been spewing about them needing to leave earlier... 

 

They dont understand logistics and dont care to.  All they understand is "I want my binky now!"

A group of snowmobilers picked up Bills players at their homes. They were assigned players. A young kid who my buddy back there knows picked up Josh Allen at his home. They brought them to the busses in OP to head to airport. 

That’s a tweet from one of the young guys that helped with it. That’s my buddy’s nephew, John.

Shocking.  All the hot takes and garbage can stop now.

I'd like to think that the shared insanity of the last 48 hours and all the stories of Bills fans digging the players out of the snow will snap this team out of whatever funk they've been in the last two weeks.

Hope so. Things are shaping up nicely. 

 

Hopefully this little disruption helps snap them out of their funk. 

 

Two bad teams we should dominate in domes. 

 

A patriots team that we've dominated in recent years in prime time with them on short rest. 

 

10 days rest. 

 

Two division games at home. 

 

Hopefully tomorrow is the start of a nice run to end the season. Health will be key.👍

I think of Scott Chandler's TD celebration in Detroit.  Classic.

I agree and also as a proud Buffalo guy who moved away after spending my first 56 years there , doesnt surprise me how the fans,the people , all came together to get the players to the airport.. its a very unique , beautiful  place.. Will tune  out all the negative BS about "leaving early"  "wasting resources on the situation" .. Love you Buffalo!

They already said they couldn't get a charter flight in time before the first wave of snow hit and the airport closed.

They're flying out now and I think it was good the players got to be home to experience this stuff with their families.

It's all good.

Let's move on. They will be in Detroit in three hours. It will be okay. Enjoy the game tomorrow.

I'm assuming Weo is asking why wouldn't they (the players/staff) stay at hotels near airport. There are multiple across from terminal

 

exactly.  Why would their Plan A be "ask your neighbors and others to dig you out after the full amount of snow had fallen".

 

They had no way of knowing if it would be possible yesterday.  Simple plan is get everyone out of the boonies of OP and close to the airport all together.  It's an obvious question.

There is a lot of precedent for when these crazy weather events happening the team goes and crushes the opponent.

 

During October Storm, Sabres went to  Detroit, won in a shootout and then came back home to drub the New York Rangers with much of the area listening on their battery powered radios since there was no power in many places...

 

Snowvember Part I the Bills go to Detroit and absolutely destroy the Jets coached by Sexy Rexy.

 

Snowvember Part II??

I had heard that all the hotel rooms were sold out because of the advance notice of the storm. Maybe they couldn’t get a place that would house all the players and staff that live in OP?
 

 I’m just spitballing, hoping the answer from McD isn’t “We never thought of that”. 🤣

I'm assuming hundreds of rooms became available when everyone canceled thursday after the announcement the game would be moved.

Can’t believe how clear those roads are, in the tweet above with the buses leaving.

Sean McDermott was in his office yesterday afternoon conducting TV interviews. I thought it was weird, darn near stupid.

 

The video of the press conference I saw, looked like it was NOT filmed from his office but rather from another location, where he'd placed a Bills football helmet on the window behind him.  The windows had "pane" grids, and he lacked the usual items that are on his office windowsill behind him.

 

Are you sure McDermott was in his Highmark office, and not an office at home?

They had an option of flying out Sunday too.  You think these guys (especially the ones with young families) wanted to stay

in a hotel in Cheektowaga while their wives and kids were in one of the worse snowstorms in Buffalo history?

Guys coming back from practice Thursday evening saying, "Sorry honey, I got to leave RIGHT NOW!  Hope you and the kids are going

to be OK.  Hope the power doesn't go out and be sure to keep those furnace vents clear.  Love you!"

 

They trusted the science that said they would have 2 windows to fly out, and the meteorologists were spot on.

 

I swear the drama on this board sometimes is borderline juvenile.  Everything worked out fine, even with the extra 2 feet of snow.

If we ever got even a foot of snow in Cincinnati, you wouldn't be able to drive for a week.

Down Abbott at Lake in Blasedell, ther eis a line of stuck semis stuck in the snow. Idiot interstate truckers who thought they could ignore a driving ban. T

WGRZ anchor ladies just interviewed the Orchard Park Police Chief.

 

They asked about how the Bills players and staff are going to get out of OP and get to the airport.

The Chief just gave a grin and said "without getting into any of the details" there will be a lot of help

to get them safely out for the game.

After watching the escort of the buses out of OP by the police department, it would have been a good day to rob a bank there. 😁

Pretty neat to read about the fans helping dig out our bills to get them to the airport… Seen some Cleveland fans ripping our city on some forums earlier… I wonder if they’d go outta there way to pick up a shovel and help there team to the airport… I’m gonna go out on a limb and say no….

It appears you were flat out wrong about the timing of clearing the snow…is this your defense mechanism kicking in?

bro your true colors are showing. PenisCollassus.. 😂 

 

Dont be an idiot.  Cant predict any of that.  Still would need 200 people shoveling snow out of the stadium too.  You there with your shovel?  You wanna come help shovel out the 4foot of solid rock snow at the end of my driveway.  There is too much logistics to this that your palm tree sitting ass can comprehend.
