For everyone that keeps quoting me on this, I responded a few posts back saying I forgot to consider the logistics of getting in and out of the stadium.  My bad.

 

Sorry! I didn't read through the thread! That's my bad!

If Tyreek Hill can play, the Bills DB's will not have the footing to catch that guy...even with a bum ankle.

After watching Tua throw the ball in perfect conditions last night I'm very skeptical he'll be able to display his vaunted "accuracy" on a cold night with snow & wind swirling about.

2-3 feet is manageable given the warning and recent experience.  Maybe they cant have fans in the stands put can plow the field.

 

Oh for sure...not saying it's going to be like it was a few weeks ago at all.

Actually, you are right, that would be a real must-see sporting event.

 

and exactly what the outside world thinks of/expects for a Buffalo December game!

 

Like the "Frozen Tundra of Green Bay..."

He has looked like trash 2 weeks in a row.

Lol, why? Before they're from South Florida? Meanwhile the team from Buffalo could barely do anything on offense.

 

Oh yes woe are Bills without a dOme, right dOmer?!?

 

There is a difference between living in a sauna and living in WNY body adjusting to it.

it is not as if Bills players drive each day from home garage to indoor parking at practice facility.

[TheFunPolice]

it would be amazing contrast of Bills/Dolphins games too!

 

One played on the surface of the sun

the next played in a snow globe

a snow event (just on the edge of manageable) in Buffalo for a HUGE Saturday night Bills/Dolphins game where the fans have "pre gamed" all day in the parking lot is 100% EXACTLY what the NFL wants to see. 

 

incredible television, and the atmosphere will be electric!

 

Lake effect snow doesn't automatically mean several feet. That happens every few years and impacts a handful of days. It's overblown 

they LOVE snow games at night near Christmas, ratings through the roof!

No worries at all.  Just realized it probably would have made more sense for me to delete the original comment.

Hey, the snow in Bedford Falls didn't stop Harry from flying in to help his brother George Bailey, so the snow in OP isn't going to stop us!

Funny enough though, this game will only be on NFL Network unless you live in the WNY or SoFla markets, correct? 
 

A lot of people don’t even get that channel through their provider.

In terms of getting 5+ feet yeah...in terms of getting 1-3 feet, it usually happens multiple times a year.  Usually not in the Buffalo metro area, mostly in the Southtowns and ski country.

Have some of you never lived in Buffalo?  Even if there is two feet of snow on Saturday they will still play the game in OP in front of a sold out stadium.  It takes historical amounts of lake effect snow to force a venue change.

We'll just have to see, won't we? Mike White threw for 268 yds and 63% ribs and all. Josh had 147 "in his element."

 

Of course Tua will have more than snow to worry about if we bring that same offense Saturday.

100%. I wonder if anyone considered this aspect during the site selection. 

They paid some company six figures to tell them to build across the street. 

[frostbitmic]

I want to see cold, some wind and a little snow to greet the team from south Florida with the QB from Hawaii.

 

I also wouldn't complain if the sideline heaters for the visiting team malfunctioned... That would be Karma.

Everything about the new stadium is a joke

[clayboy54]

The new stadium planners were banking on Global Warming. Unfortunately, that isn't working out too well.

People have to figure this out…no more complaining. Amazon, NFLN, and more may be required to watch games. Just the way its going to be.
