Will Bills Make it to Detriot Rested for the Game?

[Rich Stadium Original]

I live in Orchard Park and the current storm has made the town a mess. We have, in my neighborhood, a little over 4 feet of snow with many roads impassable.

For now, it has stopped snowing, but as many of the players live in my area, I'm curious how they are going to get them all to the airport as planned this afternoon.

That heavy snow has moved up to the airport area now, and with heavy snow and 1/4 mile visibilty, it is pretty much unusable. If things get delayed considerably, what kind of pre game rest will they have?

I'll be curious to see how the NFL and Buffalo Bills handle this.  Cant delay the game as they play again on Thanksgiving.

Cant make them forfeit as you moved the game out of town.

[Pete]

Didn't the Bills fly out last night?

Snowmobiles pick up Buffalo Bills players on way to airport

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I will do my part by observing the travel advisory and stay out of the way. You’re all welcome.

why would they not be rested?

[Toledo Bill]

Why in the world they did not leave earlier? They could have had an easier trip and even possibly had a practice.

Single dumbest part of all of this was to not move the team to a hotel up north on Friday. Could have flown out of Rochester.  Just mind numbing in its lack of foresight

Sal said they have a window they targeted today which will be no snow (Looking at the radar it is still in play). Who wants to sit in Detroit longer than they have to?

The Bills would most likely fly from Niagara Falls Airport 

They might have their own snow plow to get them there.

Sal Cappacio on the snow and leaving for tomorrow's game (He will be on the flight with the team)

[Mr. WEO]

sounds like all they will have is rest

I think each of then had to cross country ski 25 miles to the airport to catch their plane.

 

That is exhausting!! Here's several Bills players on their way

[Rich Stadium Original]

In terms of rest, I was referring to even IF they do get out of the airport, by the time the round everyone up, it may not be until very late tonight or early tomorrow before they fly out.

Terrible planning. They were planning for the game to be at highmark until it was clear they couldn’t. 
 

It was botched. 

[WotAGuy]

Won’t have to worry about any of this once they get that wind confusion facade on the new stadium. Canada will probably hate us though.

Bills get on the magic bus from the stadium and have a snowplow escort to the airport!
