Dafuk? I just don’t want to see us have another home game moved. We already only had 8 and lost 1. If you are moving 1/4 of your home games in a season due to snow then I think the idea of the new stadium being open air needs to be reexamined. How is that complaining a lot? All I’m saying is i don’t want to see another home game moved. It’s a disadvantage to us

Even if the Bills played in a dome the Browns game would have still been moved.  Imagine that, spending an extra $800M of taxpayers dollars on a dome and they still move the f###ing game.

People seem to have trouble realizing this lol I don’t believe it even snowed at game time in buffalo for the browns bills game…a dome wouldn’t have changed anything 

 

A football game was just a silly use of emergency resources given the situation

Thank you!

 

I really don't get why this is so hard for some people to understand. 

 

The Browns game was not moved because of snow on the field and not having a dome. It was moved because the entire neighborhood around the stadium was buried under 5 feet of snow, roads were impassable, and there was an active travel ban.

who said the game was moving? I see many crying about snow and questioning if it will be moved back to sun or to detroit or where ever. little snow isn't going to move this game. as for the last move,you know what the conditions were and even if they had a dome, the game would of still been MOVED.

 

I would bet my bottom dollar that after the dome is built and another storm like the last one comes around, as it will, they'll high tail it to detroit.

The only reason I even said anything was because I thought I saw someone saying the game could be moved. If that’s not the case then yeah, all good.

I'm not sure what bug is up McDermott's ass but put Elam on the field. His boy Dane gets beat like a drum, we need to see Poyer and Tre bracketing Tyreek and Elam on Waddle. Let his natural talent and athleticism create a big play. I'd rather have the boom or bust guy who can cover 1 on 1 out there over the scheme fit guy who is consistently mediocre. He should've started all year because at this point, he'd be a part of the defense, he'd know the calls, he'd have the on field experience with Poyer and Milano and Edmunds. Could've had Tre back and the possibility of two shutdown corners. Instead McDermott has flip flopped all year and it hasn't worked. Teams continue to attack that side.

I would equally place as much confidence into the Farmers Almanac this far out…..  I’m not trying to shoot the messenger, but this appears as a desperate attempt by the BUF NWS office to maintain relevancy.  

When did you get fired by the BUF NWS?

I honestly don't think the issue with him is in coverage but what he is doing on running plays and when he's away from the ball.

 

I have nothing to back that up other than thinking about the comments he and Frazier made about him fitting into the system.

If they move another game then enough of the BS. Build a dome and if the location is a serious issue then there needs to be rethinking of plans. 

Give up the dome idea already.

 

So you want to rethink the plans?  In other words, lets wait till any anti-public funding of the stadium will evolve and we will end up with nothing or a stadium in 30 years.

15-22 inches in Southern Erie including OP

 

He just looks so awkward when he runs...has no wiggle or shiftiness like Mahomes and Allen have.

 

Allen's vision, instincts, elusiveness, cuts and power running is truly something to behold

The Bills were forced to relocate 2 games in their history (2014 and 2022) due to snow. Two historic storms just happened to come in a relatively short window of 8 years. It's a pretty huge leap to then assume an average of 2 games a season could be expected to be moved just because we can't afford a dome.

I think they weather will be just fine. I'm not a weather guy, just a guy who has a computer. Map seems favorable to OP. 

 

Lake Effect Bands love to settle over OP and EA

It didn't just happen randomly, it happened in large part because the Lake Temps were extremely warm for that time of year, which we can expect to see more and more of...which means this likely will become a semi-regular occurrence instead of a once in a 1000 year occurrence.

So without a doubt, OP will get a lot of snow Saturday night right?  Like some rare shift could happen and they get barely anything?

For the education and professional experience level it takes to work for the NWS, the employees get paid peanuts.  Maybe when I’m 60 and already sitting on another pension I’ll consider working for the NWS.  Otherwise they can keep their $80K per year GS-12 job that requires a Graduate or Doctorate level degree plus 4-6 years operational experience.  🤮

His tackling was an issue in college but the more he played the more I saw his nose in there. Elam is a smart kid, I've watched him since he started for the Gators. They were a horribly coached defense and he was our stand out secondary player. I saw improvement from him every game this year. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked the first time I saw him make a tackle in the run game this year. You would've never seen that at Florida.

 

I think McDermott has been selling him short. It's cute to put Benford in there when you are facing a run heavy team and he may end up being a great nickel corner but on the outside is where Elam thrived in college and we are facing one of the best receiving duos in the league, as pained as I am to admit it. We also still have face the Bengals and Burrow and most likely the Cheifs again in the playoffs. 

 

Would've been nice to have spent this time getting your first round corner up to speed, all I'm saying.
