They might be moving the game to Detroit. Which means bills will play back to back games in Detroit. I can’t believe they don’t want to build a indoor stadium in Buffalo.

Nah...they'll just pull out the snowplow if they need 3, just like the Pats did.  Who needs a a dome??

haha

Given the style of team constructed, makes too much sense.

Bills will probably just stay in Detroit all week as they play Detroit on thanksgiving.

 

Wonder how tickets for this are distributed. Can fans now buy tickets in Detroit. If I was a fan I would and get the heck out of Buffalo lol.

Nope. Heading back to Buffalo after game.

You guys in Indiana see lots of snow ever?

We have very weird winters.  We usually don’t ever see snow over eleven or 12 inches. That is even rare. Sometimes we can have winters with no snow.  It’s very unpredictable as far as snow and super cold.

That would be weird. Will they even be able to get back there?

They should have Buffalo airport cleared by Sunday night or Monday morning. If not, they could fly into Rochester or Toronto....both are near by

Usually it is just real cold from late November through March. When we get a big snow, it usually is in February sometime and usually at most a foot but it is like 1 a year. We get some snows from December-March but those other one's are always like 4-6 inches at most which isn't anything to me. February seems to be our worst month. Once April gets here, we are good. It is still cold in April at times but also warm at times. April is up and down weather wise but usually very little snow.

What's next for NFL players, wearing skirts??

:funny:

It’s more about they are just trying to keep the emergency services running in that city without having to use resources that would be needed to get people to the stadium and make it playable.

There is a public danger element with that much snow. There might not be a game since bills can’t get out of Buffalo.

Yeah I heard parts of Buffalo already has 60 inches of snow and is expecting up to 30 more by Monday.

6 feet of snow.   No one is moving.   People in that region will die because of it.   No ambulances,  no law enforcement.   Hospitals staff will be stuck.  

 

Pretty funny stuff I guess

I have been in weather such as that and believe me it’s very scary. There is nothing that is humorous about it.  I spent 3 days stuck in an 18 wheeler in over 20 ft. Drifts coming over  Donners Pass.  Had it not been for me having emergency rations I would have had to been rescued.

I've been there as well.   Not as bad as you though.   I'm glad you made it out

Bills might of waited to  long to fly out lol.

 

 


Sean McDermott, you thought the weather would bow to your athletes or what? Use some common sense.

 

Bills should be docked a loss for this kind of planning if they can’t make the game. They knew about it yesterday evening.

You think McDermott makes the travel arrangements?

Looks like the forecast says the storm may clear by Saturday afternoon, and GM says if they didn't have Thanksgiving game, they could've postponed the game to Monday and still could've played at home stadium. 

 

Teams usually like to travel just 24 hours within the game start, and though this is scary situation, it will all work out and they arrive at Detroit by early hours of Sunday or Saturday night. Most teams seem to travel that close all the time, and weather Forecast seems to suggest that travelling later on Saturday or Sunday early might be OK. Of course, if the weather gets worse by Saturday afternoon and didn't get better, they run the risk of getting delayed or missing out schedule, but GM seems to be comfortable with the forecast and their plan.

 

As long as they don't force an airplane charter to fly into inclement, snowstorm weather and get into an emergency situation mid flight, that's good because safety of lives is important than a game. They could've left early for Detroit but GM says players would want to make sure everything is right with the family at home during the snowstorm, and if they travel by Saturday or Sunday, players and staff would be at peace in mind about the safety of their family and home. 

 

Players may want to come home after the game even though they've a game in same stadium in just 4 days, because players and staff would like to spend time with the family during thanksgiving week. It's understandable.

We had about 2 inches of snow here Wednesday but despite temperatures below freezing it’s melting. We now have a half an inch left.

No, but as head coach, he could have persuaded the Bills organization from dropping the ball there and got them out of there.

I remember we got 22 inches of snow here Thanksgiving weekend 3 years ago. That was the craziest storm I have ever been in. You see lots of snow where you live Chad?

    • I don't see AR as a polarizing player at all.  I think everybody wants him to succeed.   Its not the player.  Its the fans.  What caused the forum to blow up were the fans reaction to the benching.  I think the hero image they has was popped, and were angry at the Colts for popping it.   As I figured, AR has returned to the starting line up after a few games.   It looks a bit foolish to get so upset when a raw young QB gets justifiably benched 2 or 3 games because he was playing at embarrassing low level...thereby also embarrassing the Colts uniform.  Why so angry about it?
    • Some people believe in his potential and others dont see it yet.  Its as simple as that   Hes really athletic but hes also played pretty bad.   Bad enough for some to question if they want to see another year of him.  I want to see him get another chance but i wouldnt go into next year saying Anthony is the only thing that matters again
    • Look at the last sentence in my response.   “I’m not reading as much, maybe there is confirmation and I’m not aware of it.”   When I write something like that it should be an easy sign to read that I’m not giving you a hard time.   I’m allowing for the possibility that I’m wrong.   That I’m not looking for a fight.     For a guy who claims that he’s good at reading people you sure miss some obvious signs and don’t understand what posters here are saying and doing.  
    • It'll end when AR stops making mistakes. We're spoiled for having Manning, Luck, and to a certain extent Rivers.  We'd come to expect a top 4 pick to come in and make an impact in his 2nd year. And when it doesn't happen you get different opinions. I for one wasn't impressed with his collegiate season. I see the same mistakes he made in college. The biggest being sometimes he'll try and will a completion instead of throwing it away. This is often off his back foot and doesn't get to the receiver as it should. Since Manning, I'm not a "fan" of any one player. I just want them to succeed as a team and that includes the success of AR.  
    • I don't think their is any questioning  his desire to win on Sundays. It's just the fine details he has to learn. SS says he had taken steps. Let's give him a chance as he is pretty young. He will either grow or become another has been. I think we will know at the end of the season what we have. If he could lead them to the play offs. That would be the cherry on top. I am just hoping to find out if he is our guy. I think 7 games should give us time to evaluate what we have moving forward. Seems like the Colts r committed to him for the season. I actually think the locker room will get a push from this. I think a lot of guys in that locker room really want this guy to succeed. I have said the same thing. He seems like a good 'kid'. I have a son who played in the CFL. He was highly immature in ways when he was in university. He had a child in university.  He said it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was in geology. Took 5 classes and 5 labs and dealing with a new child. He got excellent reference from his prof. He did a complete 180 and is super mature. Sometimes it just takes someone to experience adversity. U either grow or continue on your old ways. Like my son, who was around the same age as AR, there is still hope as they were both quite young. Now I am hoping the only questions we having moving forward. Is he able to improve his accuracy and can he read a defence.
