YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 @RapSheet: One issue for #Bills: Players have been in homes for 3 days. No working out, off their nutrition. One reason game’ll be Monday. Safety issue
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 @buffalobills: .@RussBrandon, on the storm's impact on the team: "Practice, lifting, and nutrition have been compromised."
BackInDaDay Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 considering the team plays in the northeast, i'm surprised there weren't plans in place to bring the team to one of a few chosen alternate sites to insure the coaching staff could install their gameplan. my guess is, that if Kraft doesn't already have such plan - his guys are putting one together. when one of Terry's drills hit's a rock, i doubt he packs it up and goes home.. the first thing that's gotta be jumping out at the man is his new team's consistent lack of preparation - at all levels.
rumblefish Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 if they win, no, if they play to the same level of offence as they have over the last two games,it will provide another "excuse" for red zone woes, and we all know, any excuse is better than the truth

Helicopter? The majority if the team lives in the south towns and can't get out of their homes.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Not at all. Goodwin would have never been as inspiring in practice as he was in the snow.
thewildrabbit Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 conditioning matters, and practicing matters, and now its a road / away game for both teams
Mango Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 It's the Bills fault to some degree. Roads closed of course is the proverbial "act of god". But no dome in western NY is all on the Bills. My wife asked me seriously last night why they didn't just move the game to "NYC". I almost smacked her That is a very good point that I hadn't considered. The issue I think is beyond the Ralph. We can clean that up. It's parking and the rest of the infrastructure in the area that is the problem. Simply, it is a safety risk getting peoe to and from the stadium, let alone parking and seating.

The majority if the team lives in the south towns and can't get out of their homes. a business worth over a billion dollars should have a disaster recovery plan, and someone should be responsible for checking worst case scenarios as the storm was gathering strength. although it might be par for the course for the Bills to wait until its too late to implement their plan, getting coaches, players, and any necessary staff up and on the road before then isn't unreasonable. or, you can treat your business like a family picnic.. which is what they do.
Terrakon Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 OP here... I have read several good points and observations. Sometimes I can't stand what I read on here, but I never look away. Just like being a Bills fan, haha! But, I think the point I was trying to make was that this is a total Team-Building experience, with the GIANT bonus of these special NFL atheletes from all over the country, sharing a uniquely "Buffalo" event. I just think it's going to forge a more cohesive team that has a greater understanding of the GREAT people they are playing for.
GunnerBill Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Less time learning Hackett's gameplan = better execution
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Rest is highly underrated!!!!!
The Dean Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 http://youtu.be/eGDBR2L5kzI We don't need no stinking practice! I can see it now. Next week the Bills practice one day,. Maybe another day for a walk through.
Captain Hindsight Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Bills Cancel practice for the rest of the season
Stads Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I certainly wasn't expecting that type of performance considering everything that went on leading up to this game. I know the Jets are a train-wreck that crashed into a tire fire, but maybe there is something to the "only practice for 3 days" thing. I say try it every week just for fun.
