And how would the Bills get out of Buffalo if they waited for that? The airport will be closed. By that point the I-90 would likely be shut down also. Thursday night alone is 10-16 inches for that area

Good point!

Does this include takes on strategy and player injuries too?  I’m not sure we can sustain that. 

[Big Turk]

Here is the best up to the minute(almost literally) expectations from the most accurate source possible:

 

TLDR:

 

Buffalo Metro:

Thursday night: 12-18",

Friday 12-18",

Friday Night: 8-12",

Saturday: 8-12"(no forecast for Saturday Night/Sunday yet)

 

Totals: 40-60"

Sustain?

I don't think we can even establish a baseline.

I think it makes the most sense that they should move the game to Chicago because I live here.

If my job is winning football games Sunday & Thursday. I move game to Detroit, fly Thu to Thu. Ask BUF peeps to watch over my boy’s homes and family and go!

Why do people assume snow games require running?  Unless it is very windy, throwing the ball is highly effective as the WRs have the advantage of knowing where they are going and potential for big plays due to slipping and falling. We had quite a few snow games with the Kelly era Bills that were air raids. The wildcard playoff game against Miami for one.

I was at the Miami playoff game - yes it snowed, but it wasn't windy and it wasn't a heavy snow.  If snow comes down at 2-4" per hour that will put a significant damper on the ability to throw.

That will put a damper on running too. 
There is no way in hell Erie county allows the stadium open under those conditions. I like a good thunder snow as Jim Cantori but county shuts this down at that scale.

I still think this game has to be get moved.  There is going to be a travel ban for Erie County with almost certainty and the I-90/219 will be closed.

the last forecast I saw had the heavy snow Thursday-Friday for orchard park.  What falls on Saturday pm is more nuisance snow of 1-3 inches.

 

the field will be clear other than chance snow fall during the game.  The issue will be fans going to the game.  This could be a limited crowd game.

If Sunday is clear as it looks like it will be - we're winning the game, regardless of how many fans can get there.

Josh played wonderfully without a crowd during 2020.
