Rich Stadium Original Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I live in Orchard Park and the current storm has made the town a mess. We have, in my neighborhood, a little over 4 feet of snow with many roads impassable. For now, it has stopped snowing, but as many of the players live in my area, I'm curious how they are going to get them all to the airport as planned this afternoon. That heavy snow has moved up to the airport area now, and with heavy snow and 1/4 mile visibilty, it is pretty much unusable. If things get delayed considerably, what kind of pre game rest will they have? I'll be curious to see how the NFL and Buffalo Bills handle this. Cant delay the game as they play again on Thanksgiving. Cant make them forfeit as you moved the game out of town. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzboy54 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Single dumbest part of all of this was to not move the team to a hotel up north on Friday. Could have flown out of Rochester.

Rich Stadium Original Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 In terms of rest, I was referring to even IF they do get out of the airport, by the time the round everyone up, it may not be until very late tonight or early tomorrow before they fly out.

BADOLBILZ Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Late October 1997 there was a huge blizzard in Denver and many of the Broncos had to be transported to the airport late at night via snowmobile for a game in Buffalo the next day. They had almost no rest and trampled a good Bills defense, including Ted Washington having a career year, on the ground for 225 yards. No excuses.
