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.

 

I have lived 35+ years out of my life here.  Agree...this isn't about moving the game, it's about watching the Dolphins trying to run for the bus in the cold, wind and snow.

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

Actually, doesn’t that contribute to lake effect snow?

Have the Bills put 'Squirrel' Winters on the payroll yet?

As for the Dolphins, "freeze, you bastards, freeze!" 😁

Ys, when it heats up the lake in the summer. Unfortunately not when it gets very cold in the early winter. So, it's kind of like 50/50.

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 

I’ve lived in Buffalo my entire life 

 

There are snow storms every year where we get at least a few ft of snow over a few day period

 

Do we always get snow storms with 6 feet in a day?  No … a few ft? Yea

Yes...it creates warmer lakes later in the season.  Huge LES amounts like we have gotten twice in the past 8 years largely depend on temperature differences between the air and water.  The warmer the water, the bigger the temperature difference and the more moisture that can get added. Especially in November, which is why both storms happened to the day, 8 years apart.  It's basically the same action as how T-Storms develop in the summer.

 

Additionally, there may come a point in time where Lake Erie won't freeze during the winter, much like Lake Ontario which is why Rochester, Syracuse and Tug Hill Plateau regions get more snow usually...Lake Ontario stays open for LES all winter most years while Lake Erie usually gets shut down in early January,

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

Nice work, if you can get it. 🤔😁

How silly are the Bills going to look if they have to move a 3rd game in 8 years due to weather while setting to break ground on a billion dollar stadium with no roof?

 

I did not expect such a comment from dOmer.  

I am SOOOOOO shOcked.

 

[T&C]

According to weather dot com for Sat. night in OP:

 

Variably cloudy with snow showers. Low 26F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

Fwiw Sal C says he thinks  Bills are wearing red unis Saturday vs Fish 

[Einstein]

Alright, guys, start packing. Heading to Detroit.

Why do people think crappy weather is football weather and it's the Bills advantage? Don't you think players prefer 50-60 degrees and dry conditions? 

It should be an advantage when playing against a team from a warm weather climate. Just being used to crummy weather should be an advantage.

It was windy not snowing 

 

I can't believe it took 3 pages for someone to correct that. Like did he even watch the game?

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.

To be fair Allen only had 27 attempts and white was like 45

 

Josh wasn’t asked to sling it the entire game aggressively

Mike White went 11/19 113 yards after the injury. 55 of which was with 3 minutes of the game left and the Bills defense was protecting the sidelines up two scores and ensuring they use up the clock.

If Tua struggled throwing the ball in Sofi, it will be comical watching him try to throw in the elements in OP. If Hill can't go or is limited by his ankle injury it will only make Tua's life worse next Sat night.

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.

Providers don’t carry the NFLN, or subscribers may not have it included in the package they have?

Tua sucks. He's gonna suck in sun, in rain, in snow, in a dome, in outer space. We should blow them out no matter what but bad weather hurts us much more than it hurts them.
