Week 11 Weather: Winter Storm Watch in place for this weekend, potential for major snowfall

[Beast]

The Bills can still throw. Heck, I remember the snow game against the Colts where it was some key passes that won the game.

In fact, I give the Bills a big advantage if it is snow and not much wind. I’ll take Allen in those conditions any day over Brisette.

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.

A 44-34 free for all in 1990 as I recall! 😅 And yes, both offenses didn’t stop throwing the ball—Kelly 3 TDs

Yep! Still remember Reed on a crossing route going like 70 yards early in the game for a TD to give the Bills the lead.

Agreed. It’s the wind that poses the problem. It’s still early, but the wind looks around 15 MPH, but gusts up to 30  MPH, which could be an issue.

 

Amazingly, the highest wind time of the entire week every week always seems to be around 1 PM on Sundays. It’s uncanny.

yep - winds are usually highest in the afternoon I believe.  (Can’t remember the scientific explanation as to why)

thanks— that explains it! It is amazing what a weather nerd I have become because of this team. If they could run the ball, I would be less worried!

Oh great. I love snow bowls with the Browns.

I would not be surprised to see higher amounts given the QPF amounts and the long duration fetch + delta Ts.

Yes, it is horrible. It would be just fine with me if I never saw another snowflake.

Snow is not that bad. It's far better than hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, etc. that other places deal with.

 

I may be in the vast minority, but I believe Buffalo has some of the best weather in the country

Brown vs Bills wouldn’t be Browns vs Bills without lake effect snow.

Just what the bills need, a game where throwing is difficult and they need a good run game 🙄

Weather makes everything equal. Browns have a great run game but if throwing is completely out of the question then Bills just load up the box.

 

The Bills will still throw the football. At least there will be the threat of throwing.

Not like heavy snow would favor a power running back.

Not really. Makes it easier to load the box. 
 

The fear I would have is Chub breaking one at some point though.  I could see 30 carries and we stuff 28, but he breaks a couple.

This week is the 8th anniversary of Snovember. The lake is at 54, a record for this date. The conditions are all lining up for a ton.

At what point is it too much snow to play in? Is Ford Field available Monday?

I always tell people happy when it’s 70 in November that warm at this time isn’t great because we can get slammed with lake effect if a storm comes through.

I'd seriously consider going to the game if it were to move to Detroit (saw Bills/Jets there) - Is this a real possibility?!

 

lol no.

[McBean]

Not a good team to play in the snow.

 

Browns have a great run game and line.

It's in use next Thursday, so I doubt we'll be there on Monday.
