Sunday's game vs Cleveland is being moved to Detroit

[Buffalo Super Fan]

And the Buffalo Bills are going to grow natural grass in the new Bills stadium with no roof in Buffalo in a snow belt Orchard Park? What a joke the NFL should require New York State to put a dome on the new Bills stadium if Buffalo wants to stay in the NFL. MLB required Phoenix to have a dome same for Las Vegas if they get the Oakland Athletics. Buffalo shouldn’t be allowed outdoor stadium anymore. This is the second game moved and two others should have been moved the weather was so bad the Indianapolis Colts game and the New England Patriots game. How is tailgating this weekend Bills Mafia I don’t want a dome what a joke the NFL made the decision Detroit which could cost this team a playoff spot just like the Bills Toronto Series playing extra road game in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

maybe they'll be able to contain him like they did henry earlier in the season. I know the defense has been banged up and had problems stopping the run since then but maybe they step up to the challenge sunday?

Contain is the key word. Stack the box, force Brissett to throw, blah blah blah. The usual. I hope they don’t go exclusively nickel.

How many games did New Orleans play in San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina?  Did the dome help them?

Bills beat themselves. All 3 games the same thing. They had a chance to make plays and finish those games multiple times and just didn't.

Yes, agreed. The Miami game wasn’t really beating themselves, they were beat by weather & injuries, but I hear u. It would take a collapse of epic epic proportions to lose this game. I have never been so confident in a W. I think we are going to see Buffalo play with a lot of anger.

Detroit being only 2.5 hrs from Cleveland and the fact that nobody will be able to get out of Buffalo on Saturday may make this a defacto home game for the Browns. 

If you’re only moderately smart you can!

Obviously,you get out asap to go North across the 401.

By morons that don't understand that the in-game weather has no bearing on this decision.

Agreed, but also is still a good reason to have a dome. Stupid to live in a place that can get predictions of 3 to 6ft and not have a dome.

 

Is it smart to have primary vehicle be a convertible, because you hsve a garage lol

Talk about taking facts and twisting. 
New Oreans literally used the dome DURING the hurricane to save hundreds of lives.

I’m just glad we have the game to look forward to on Sunday cause I know yesterday there was talk about canceling the whole deal altogether 

 

This was never going to happen.

They left 20-25 pts on the field that game. Missed FG, dropped TD by Davis, Allen turfing a wide open TD to McKenzie, etc.

Please explain how a dome would stop snow from falling all over Buffalo. Moving the game has nothing to do with the actual field or the stadium, why are so many people not understanding this??

5 days later it was evacuated and they played on the road for a season.  The point is acts of god can impact a dome environment too. 
 

For snow - Minnesota had to play on a college field when their dome roof couldn’t hold the snow.

You're aware that "dome" was an inflatable bag of gas? A little different now.

Games have been moved/postponed in Houston too for Hurricane Ike.  Does NRG meet your stadium standards?

Well they are domers who are unhappy with not getting a dome paid by someone else  so add it to unrelated threads.  Next they will go to games and wear domes on their heads like the bag heads who went to games with bag on their heads.

 

 

Bag heads at least make more sense because it hid their faces so they were ridiculed less except when they took it off to throw up or opened their mouths to talk about it.

Circus of sadness

I'm quite relieved this game has been moved. Unlike many of the posters here who thought that 2017 Colts snow game was the coolest thing ever. I thought it was an embarrassment. But I was more worried it would be like the 2007 Bills Browns game in Cleveland where 8 years into the drought we went to Cleveland with the playoffs on the line and played in the worst conditions Ive ever seen for a game. Lost 8-0 and were knocked out of the playoffs. I remember thinking why bother playing this game under such horrendous conditions? It was a terrible product from an already meh Bills team.

Agree... But where's the drama in that. Maybe leave a fake playbook laying around. 😉

Was flying into BUF w family for the game. Just changed airline tix to DTW.   I’m not that familiar w Detroit.  Anyone have a recommendation for a good area / hotel to stay?  And good restaurant for Saturday night?

NEWSFLASH: Both teams came into that game with identical records.  Cleveland still missed the playoffs too!

 

It wasn't the snow.

 

Cleveland went 2-1 last 3 games and still didn't get in at 10-6. Bills lost out last three games.  That game meant squat to Bills...

Funny how Dolphins games don't get moved due to heat though lol..

Completely different scenario.  A more fair comparison would be when they(and other florida teams)  do move games due to Hurricanes.
