G-Daddy Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 @BuffRumblings #Bills might not practice today due to lake-effect storm & subsequent travel ban per @SI_PeterKing http://sbnation.com/e/7010104 Need new app for remote practice from home via iPad and Google glass.
Dorkington Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 If the Bills lose because they couldn't practice this week.....
SectionC3 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Just throwing this out there, but with the next storm in they way I think moving the game to Monday is something they should consider. Helps with the practice issue, and the stadium (and lots) can't be cleared.

bigK14094 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Down here in Ft Myers Fl, had to move my return flight to Buffalo from Weds to Friday...good judgement etc....making that call. Of course, Sammy is from Ft Myers, and you know his TWEETS/videos on his first snow are being played on all the local news broadcasts down here.
PearlHowardman Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 OBD should have a snow contingency plan that has the game moved to the Dome in Syracuse.
Bills fan since 87 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Dome only holds 49,500. As a season ticket holder I better be one of those 49K in that scenario
marauderswr80 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Just move it to monday night.... Â My son would be devastated if it got moved to Toronto!
zow2 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Tuesday is the players' off day. No practice as per usual. Â It's Wedsnesday...and from some of the pictures the players are tweeting out from their homes, I can't imagine they can get to practice. The Jets are practicing and in the NFL i bet that makes a big difference come game day. Â Just move it to monday night.... Â My son would be devastated if it got moved to Toronto! Â Could happen but it's not that easy. The Bills..as much as any team rely on out of town ticket holders to fill the stadium. People arrange flights, hotels, car trips months in advance specifically for Sunday afternoon games. If they move it to Monday it will be unprecedented and I'm sure they'd have to offer ticket refunds... Edited November 19, 2014 by zow2

norton20 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Seriously, with travel bans and possibly 5 feet of snow, how do they practice tomorrow thru Friday? I also wonder where on earth and how on earth they will move all of that snow out of the ralph parking lots as well as the stadium in time for the game Sunday. Monday night football instead? Â Since people now seem focused on the issue.
sir andrew Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Bills are holding a presser at noon to address the situation.

Helps with the practice issue, and the stadium (and lots) can't be cleared. Â It helps give time for snow removal, but you're just losing a day of practice next week instead.
Not at the table Karlos Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I guess this bodes well for my son and I being able to ski when we come up for the Packers game.  Stay safe everyone! this snow will be mostly gone by Tuesday. It's gonna be 50s and rain OBD should have a snow contingency plan that has the game moved to the Dome in Syracuse. Absolutely not
Hammered a Lot Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Â Â @SI_PeterKing: Buffalo update 2: Forecast for between 1.5 to 3 feet more snow Thurs. Crews have already dug out 220,000 TONS of snow on stadium property. When did this happen. I don't see it. This is the projected amt of snow to be removed.
YoloinOhio Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Can they play at UB Stadium? I heard Amherst didn't have nearly the amount of snow. Locals correct me if I'm wrong.
