We’re getting some flack for this.

 

 

 

It would be an empty dome since no one can get there in 4-5' of snow. Course he's from VA so he's got no clue. He should come this weekend & drive to the stadium Sunday, prove his theory.

I understand the need to move the game, but it sucks that the Bills will now have two fewer true home games than true road games. Seems like the football gods looked at the Bills being Super Bowl favorites at the beginning of the year and said "not so fast."

Is the UB game still on for Saturday??

 

Good question. Considering they may only get a dozen fans to the game, they could play in their covered, heated field house. Assuming Akron can get here. I recall Kent State failing to get to UB for a game once and the MAC called it a no-contest. Cost UB bowl eligibility.

Yeah, but being in a dome is a HUGE advantage for our offense. We need a win.

So soft.

 

Back in my day the Browns would have boated across Lake Erie and Bills fans would have walked barefoot, uphill to the game.

If you polled the Bills’ players, I’d bet a lot of money almost every one would prefer to play in the neutral Detroit dome than in the snow in Buffalo.

So this link may be more proper in some other forum, but with all the banter about winter driving in this thread, I just had to post here.  More chance that at least a few of you, and your families, will benefit.

“WINTER TIRES” not “Snow Tires”

Chubb was saying he never played in a snow game in his life, but he was excited for it. I guess they haven’t had a real snow game in Cleveland yet since he’s been there.  But it’s not so much the snow as the cold and wind.  No one wants to be outside for 3-4 hours in that playing football.  72 degrees in a dome feels better on the bones.

Nokian. The Finns know winter. Awesome all season tires that handle whatever the Rockies bring.

Which Winter Tires Are Right for You?

The short answer: Any of them. “Even an average winter tire is going to be better on snow and ice than the best all-season tire can ever hope to be,” says Rogers. Literally any studless winter tire will improve your ability to drive in the winter. ”

Oh, I agree with that. When I lived in the mountains I ran true winter tires. But most people will avoid the hassle/storage of switching out, so my point is that not all "All Season" tires are created equal. So ... Nokian is my go-to now. Wear a little faster running on hot summer roads, but a good compromise since they're still excellent in the snow and ice.

Will I hit any of the snow storm driving up from Atlanta to Detroit?

No, it’s not a snow storm. It’s lake affect bands clouds flowing off an inland sea.
 

Just stay southwest or west of any of the Great Lakes.
