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...

Bubba Gump Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 17 hours ago, Process said: The good news is weather looking perfect for the game It was great weather against the Squealers too. 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.

It's very difficult and dangerous to throw a football in 70 degrees climate-controlled conditions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to shovel it out This is exactly what I told the guy that sits next to me. I said, all these people still complaining about not having a dome is beyond annoying. 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.

For all the guys needing treatment set up beds in the training room 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we can see, clearing roads and lots are much easier than clearing seating areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 All the Bills need to do is put out the word that players need help getting to the stadium, and within half an hour they will be getting escorted from the DOT and PD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
