If we had a dome in 2014 and a few weeks ago, we couldn't have played the game. Exactly my thought. Clearing the roads so people can even get into the domed stadium parking lots is issue enough.

What don't people understand about the weather issue from a few weeks ago? IT WASN'T ABOUT THE STADIUM....IT WAS ABOUT GETTING EMPLOYEES, STAFF, ETC TO THE STADIUM. Even if the Bills had a dome, that Browns game was getting moved. Jesus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Northtowns stadium location idea seems interesting if for no other reason than to get the thing away from the snow belt Yeah Northtowns or even North Buffalo are largely spared most of the time. Have friends that live in the Delaware/Hertel area and they got a few inches in 2014 while we got 7 feet in Lancaster/Depew.

rusty shackleford Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Bad weather is an equalizer in today's modern era of high passing football. It hasn't been a Bills home field advantage since the Kelly days. With that said, I think it comes down to who can overcome the adversity better. After watching the Bills play tough defensive football in the cold wet slop and seeing Tua struggle in perfect conditions, I think we are in a good position.

Not going to look "silly" because that are not moving the game. And a domed stadium or not was not why the moved the first game, give up on your fantasies over a domed stadium. Do people understand weather dynamics? Lake Erie is not as warm as it was nor re the factors anywhere close to what we had a few weeks ago. People hear Lake Effect snow and immediately assume we are going to get 5 feet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hill can go, all Tua has to do is throw their short passing game with Hill & Waddle... while we'll run our non-existent short passing game. Fun times.. super excited for some more slop ball.

Won't be as bad most likely but "not as bad" doesn't mean we won't get 2-3 feet. No idea what the amounts will end up being but if I had to take a guess, I would say 1-2 feet probably. Looks like the winds are aligning vertically which always is conducive to some pretty good amounts as long as the fetch length is there.

Punching Bag Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 9 hours ago, DapperCam said: I think Allen throws just fine in snow and light wind. It’s probably an advantage against most teams because of his strong arm. Think of Mac against the Bills in the playoffs last year. Our offense doesn’t do well in the rain or heavy wind, so hopefully those conditions stay away. If we could run the ball maybe things would be different. Part of reason Josh was selected was due to his experience playing in Wyoming which is known for cold and weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we've been through this, but the reason the game was moved had ZERO to do with not having a roof. The roads around the stadium were impassable, and there was a travel ban in OP. Therefore, even with a magical dome the game would be moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 if we get a foot or two life just goes on here, albeit more slowly. 5 feet is obviously another story, but it's winter in the northeast.
