YoloinOhio Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Monday Night would be awesome. Bills back in Primetime Baby. Would it even be shown nationally? The MNF scheduled game is Ravens-Saints. I hope it would still be shown via NFL Ticket.
FluffHead Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 @RapSheet Even with snowpocalypse for #Bills, plan is still a 1 pm kickoff Sunday vs #Jets. They are working on snow removal but more expected tonight Doubtful it stays on Sunday if this next round of snow packs as much punch as they say it will

marauderswr80 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 How would they do the seating if moved to toronto!? I highly doubt that happens....i see it getting moved to monday night!
Captain Caveman Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Is Mike Vick allowed over the border as a convicted felon? Are there players who are not?
Watchtower62 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 The Jets and Bills Week 12 game at Ralph Wilson Stadium is still scheduled for 1 PM ET Sunday despite seven feet of snow expected in Buffalo. Yes, that's SEVEN FEET. Buffalo has already gotten upwards of four feet of white powder, and another 1.5 to 3 feet are expected overnight Wednesday. The Bills aren't able to practice Wednesday, as the coaches and players can't all make it to the facility. The Ralph Wilson Stadium crew has removed over 220,000 tons of snow from the playing surface. We'd think the NFL will need to decide the game's status by Thursday afternoon.
Captain Caveman Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Right now it is just getting the players in for practice. And if you move the game to Monday you're just short changing next week's practice.
The Avenger Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Would it even be shown nationally? The MNF scheduled game is Ravens-Saints. I hope it would still be shown via NFL Ticket. That would suck if there was no way to get the game outside of local WNY and NYC markets...but I don't think Sunday Ticket ever has the rights to broadcast games outside of Sunday afternoons so I suppose it could happen....
FluffHead Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 And if you move the game to Monday you're just short changing next week's practice. Playing monday wouldn't screw the schedule much. any later certainly will (Eagles vikings was moved to Tuesday night a few years ago)
marauderswr80 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 You might short change next weeks practice...but whats the difference playing on sunday the again on thursday...to me thats worse then one practice
YoloinOhio Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) They should move it to Monday. That extra day would really help with practice and snow removal. They should play it at 6pm, and televise it nationally, before the originally scheduled MNF game. It does give us a short week before the Browns game, but we have 2 straight home games so without the need to travel it helps. Edited November 19, 2014 by YoloinOhio
dhg Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 It's only Wednesday. They could probably move it to Tuesday if they had to. No way it gets moved to Toronto.
Captain Caveman Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Playing monday wouldn't screw the schedule much. any later certainly will (Eagles vikings was moved to Tuesday night a few years ago) Instead of missing a day of practice this week, you're missing a day of practice next week. What's the difference?
marauderswr80 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 They should move it to Monday. That extra day would really help with practice and snow removal. They should play it at 6pm, and televise it nationally, before the originally scheduled MNF game. Yes! I agree!
26CornerBlitz Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 They should move it to Monday. That extra day would really help with practice and snow removal. They should play it at 6pm, and televise it nationally, before the originally scheduled MNF game. 6 PM would cause an overlap with the already scheduled 8:30 PM MNF game. 5 PM would be a more likely time IMO.
CodeMonkey Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Doubtful it stays on Sunday if this next round of snow packs as much punch as they say it will From what I am hearing around here (Rochester area) the expectation is that the next one will dump most of it's snow considerably further south than the last one.
marauderswr80 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 5pm lol....just when people can return to work...they call in to attend the game! My kinda peeps!
FluffHead Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Instead of missing a day of practice this week, you're missing a day of practice next week. What's the difference? Traditional Monday is rest recovery and film. Tuesday is an off day. Practice Wednesday Thursday Friday. When you play Monday you give the players their off day Tuesday, give them their film on iPads and do a couple extra film sessions on Wednesday Thursday Friday. It's not that big a deal.
PaattMaann Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 When did snow become such a big problem for buffalo? Whoever is in charge of the plowing and salting of the streets here needs to be fired. Everybody knew this was coming and the mayor was on tv bragging how ready they were last week and now everyone looks stupid. you sir, are either a complete idiot, or just trying to get a rise....ill bite... its a pretty historic amount of snow fall in a very short period of time, making it IMPOSSIBLE for plows to even attempt to keep up with the snowfall and keeping roads clear...add to that, the stranded vehicles blocking any attempt of plows to clear roads, and you make the situation even more impossible to keep up....and then add to the fact that you have 6 feet of snow in a large area that you need to physically REMOVE from the area, not just move it around...and you have a nearly impossible situation for a few days
thewildrabbit Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Umm.. Thurman Thomas @thurmanthomas 1m1 minute ago Oh boy..RT @buffalobills: PHOTO: The inside of Ralph Wilson stadium under a thick blanket of snow and blowing drifts. Yea, my wife was wondering this morning about how are they going to remove 51 inches of snow by Sunday.
