I'm loving all the fake tough guys on Twitter saying the NFL are pansies for moving the game and how they would gladly play in it and played in far worse in high school.

 

Beane needs to contact some of these men and get them in for a tryout

most of them are likely from south of the mason dixon and never saw more than an inch or a dusting. idiots.

For all the "why did they move the game" people.  Would you be willing to go shovel that stuff out?

 

It's not even that. That's the easy part, once people can actually get to the stadium! Which might be next week Tuesday.

I hear you, but I don't know about "easy".  My brother just sent pictures of his house in Alden (2 feet), and he said it was some

heavy damn stuff.

No doubt! Just saying it takes a lot more time remedying the state of emergency on the roads surrounding the stadium before enough people can even get there to do anything about it.

Should've played in Buffalo.

Just over an hour until the 2pm presale...anyone hear anything?  Nothing in my email, nothing in junk, nothing on Bills Twitter, nothing on Bills website, nothing on Bills app.  Maybe they are putting details out on Tik Tok??

Nothing. Been scouring. Just hope the Taylor Swift Bots don't snag all the tickets in 2 minutes then resell on stubhub for $200+

ahem. MAYBE they haven't gotten their chit together yet. AKA flying by the seat of their pants.   That's my guess

It was win and in for us with three games to go…we must’ve been in better tiebreaker shape 

We would have been out. Just like Cleveland... But Cleveland did lose one. Bills eventually lost all three. The Giants beat them next game. Guess what they did that season? 😉 

Nothing to do with the weather...

I get that everyone involved is in a mad scramble, but is it too much to ask to get a price range?  Certainly they know how much they're charging by now.

Just received the email...no pricing details yet, 6 ticket limit

it is not the greatest look for the Bills to be tardy with this very pertinent information. Im calling not prepared for this event.  In view of the circumstances it seems this is all being decided on the fly . Is that reasonable? That's debatable

in 2014 when this happened they were Free.   They need to be 75% off or more

They're banking on almost 100% of season ticket holders buying all the tickets for the game in Detroit?

PizzaPapalis in Greektown was a post-game staple, but sadly they didn't survive the pandemic.  So sad seeing great establishments just disappear.  Wanted to take my kid for steak at Ditka's when we were in Chicago a few weeks ago and they shut their doors as well.  If Ditka's can't make it in Chicago who the hell can??

that was the one I was thinking of. Haven't been to Detroit since the big C. Bummer. How about Nikky's?

Looks like they are still there but never tried their pizza...we always went to Papalis.  Definite bummer.

Naw, the Blizzard of 77' wasn't a Lake Effect event. The lake froze over early that year and there was a steady accumulation of snow until 75mph winds from the north blew two months of snow off of Lake Ontario onto WNY and across 7 counties. 

 

There were 30 feet drifts in some places, with near Hurricane force winds. 

 

 

 

 

That was an event a month and a half in the making---it snowed for 35 straight days prior to that and there were a lot of plows down and broken due to how much they were in use prior to the actual storm itself. The wind blew the snow with such force that it crystallized and turned into something like concrete and wasn't even be able to be moved by plows, they had to use heavy equipment to break it.

 

When they talk about once in a 1,000 year events, this literally was one of them...the required things that had to happen for such a long time prior to the actual storm occurring were crazy.
