Ojolaffub Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I heard that they were going to come back to Buffalo and then go back to Detroit on Wednesday. Doesn’t make sense to me but not sure what they ended up doing. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 They came back. They don’t have anyplace to workout or practice in Detroit. The Lions will be using their own facilities this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) 16 minutes ago, blacklabel said: Google says a flight from Buffalo to Detroit is 70 minutes. That is true. However, the return flight from Detroit to Buffalo is much shorter since you're in the jet stream traveling against the natural rotation of the earth (i.e., Scoriolis effect). Its like a 7 minute flight which is why they went home. Edited November 22, 2022 by Jauronimo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Lets put it this way. The flight is so short that they don't even bother to read the safety instructions. No seatbelts, no talk of oxygen masks since cruising altitude is like 40 feet. They aren't in the air long enough to walk the aisles and hand everyone a mini bag of peanuts so the flight attendants throw out handfuls of bread and feed the passengers like ducks. Its like a 10 minute flight and they went home. 5 minutes ago, teef said: I get that it was a road trip diet, but we need to work on this. Not that I can’t do some things better, but I’m legit concerned about your long term health. Especially since he drove up the morning of and back immediately after the game. Thats about a week's worth of calories in less than 24 hours. And why even drive when its only a 20 minute flight? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, yet what is being overlooked is the associated time zone change by flying back. They actually gained an hour by flying back. So they have an extra hour of prep / rest time that the Lions do not enjoy. Smart call by Bills. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
