Rich Stadium Original Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 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. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I will do my part by observing the travel advisory and stay out of the way. You’re all welcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 why would they not be rested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Bill Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Why in the world they did not leave earlier? They could have had an easier trip and even possibly had a practice. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzboy54 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 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.

HOUSE Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) The Bills would most likely fly from Niagara Falls Airport They might have their own snow plow to get them there. . Edited November 19, 2022 by HOUSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Rich Stadium Original Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 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.

It was botched. 1 1 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
