BuffBills51 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I see the National Weather Service is calling for 2-3 feet of snow over the next couple of days. Hopefully the storm shifts away from Orchard Park and the team can get adequate practice time this week. Definitely concerning heading into Chiefs week with another major storm bearing down on the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 to 3 feet predicted, so a dusting! Think a big issue with the game was all the police, ambulances, etc needed for a game. Holding practice, not an issue. players just need to be able to get from their homes to 1 Biils Drive. Squirrel may be providing taxi service to the practice field. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 By this point you'd think the Bills would have a snow/practice plan. guys that live far should be sheltered close to the facility...and there will be transportation for the guys that live close by in case they are unable to drive over themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean why not make room at the facility if need be and bring in a bunch of beds? No time for slipping due to weather restrictions right now.

gonzo1105 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 At this point of the season, practices are really light anyways it’s more mental prep, trainers table, and walkthrough style practices vs balls to the wall 1 on 1 and such like training camp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Think the bills will build apartments or hotel space near the new stadium for when this happens so if players want to stay over night they have the ability obviously guys with families local would never do this but a lot of these guys only live in buffalo during the season or are young and it wouldn't bother too much. But would allow for practice and meetings to happen in person which are big especially in the playoffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Honestly with how banged up they are, having the week off from doing reps may not be terrible. I'd expect almost a third of the team to be "limited" at minimum anyways. Not getting the reps in shouldn't be hard to adjust to. There are Im sure plans in place and there is some experience from the past with both weather and the COVID season. If practices are virtual, I would think they can hammer home the mental aspects and watch extra film as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the stadium is so full of snow, it makes it hard to get around. There was at least 8-10 inches of snow under my feet that turned into hard packed ice by halftime. It was so uneven and slippery. There is no way they will be able to clear all that crap with another fresh two feet on top of it by Sunday. I've also never seen piles of snow inside the corridors. It was surreal to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I'm in South Cheektowaga. We got 12-15" easily since 11 PM last night. Traffic light is 4 doors away. Can't see it. Collision shop is next to intersection.Can barely make out their truck's flashing lights. Can't see the truck itself.

The game still woulda been changed if there were a dome. The only thing a dome would change, is that the seats woulda been clear of snow, once everyone could get there safely.

Even in good weather, many people, I'm not sure who, other than team busses, get police and other "black suv" escorts every week. When I'm sitting in traffic on 20A (Big Tree Rd) every game day, two or three of these escorts go by. Not sure if it's officials, broadcasters, or who it might be. I've seen Pegula is his own vehicle before. So I'm not sure who, other than the away team is getting the special treatment. Maybe someone knows that could enlighten me.
