26CornerBlitz Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Fred Jackson: No practice is 'huge disadvantage' With Buffalo buried below an outrageous four feet of snow, Sunday's Bills game with the Jets remains at the mercy of Mother Nature. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that both teams must know by Friday if kickoff will proceed as planned at 1 p.m. ET at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That leaves time, but after Wednesday's practice was cancelled due to a driving ban, Bills running back Fred Jackson told NFL Media's Lindsay Rhodes that it's "not looking good" to practice Thursday, either.

YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Doomed. Not only did Mother Nature screw up this weeks practice schedule. Next game will be affected as well if we play Monday or Tuesday. Only the Bills.
zow2 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Doomed. Not only did Mother Nature screw up this weeks practice schedule. Next game will be affected as well if we play Monday or Tuesday. Only the Bills. Yay, if the game is moved to Tuesday they can lose another 2-game set within five days. From 5-3 to 5-7 baby!!
jsswansonjr Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 They are at a disadvantage if the game is played Sunday or moved to another day. Pick your poison!
Dorkington Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I guess this answers the "paper tigers" question posted earlier in the year.
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Adam Benigni @AdamBenigni 3m3 minutes ago Told #Bills will not practice again today adhering to driving ban in Orchard Park
G-Daddy Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 This is nuts, NFL needs to postpone the game to allow resources to be focused on restoring essential services to the community and to allow Bills to practice ay least once prior to game.

I can't believe they are dragging their feet on this. Actually, I can. What a joke.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 @BuffaloBillsPR Per team spokesman Scott Berchtold, the team will not practice today as the travel ban is still in effect in Orchard Park.
Fingon Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Tuesday seems like the only option at this point. It gives crews time to plow the roads, and lets the NFL nationally televise the game. IMO, the NFL is better off this way as it gives them an opportunity to get a nationally televised game on a Tuesday night.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Bills players have been requested by coaches to all log on to Skype for film session JK CBF

IMO, the NFL is better off this way as it gives them an opportunity to get a nationally televised game on a Tuesday night. Except for the fact that it is the Bills and the Jets playing the game.
nucci Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 This is nuts, NFL needs to postpone the game to allow resources to be focused on restoring essential services to the community and to allow Bills to practice ay least once prior to game. As stated elsewhere, the NFL is not preventing anything in the way of services to the region and the people who need help. Resources are not being pulled away to work on the stadium.

Otto Graham Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Bet they end up playing this game in NJ
nucci Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Bet they end up playing this game in NJ when? Giants play there Sunday
The Avenger Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Bet they end up playing this game in NJ Why should the Jets get 2 home games against a divisional opponent? At least play it at a neutral site - I'll be pissed if this is played as another Jets home game.
