Usually Lake Erie freezes by early January which is why Rochester typically ends up catching up and passing us in snowfall by the end of the season(except last year) since Lake Ontario rarely freezes...and also why the Tug Hill Plateau area gets buried all winter...

 

Must suck to live there and deal with not only a metric crap ton of snow but also temps that fairly often get to -20 to -30+ below zero without the wind chill...

 

 

I used to drive around Lake Ontario to and from college at St Lawrence U… Watertown, and those towns… just crazy, stupid snow.

When McDaniel sees some of the throws of snowballs at him from the stands, he'll bench Tua and sign the fan from the stands.😀

What are the odds that, after the beatdown his team receives, he blames it on the weather?

 

First Things First - let's focus on delivering said Beatdown first before hypothesizing the reaction.

 

Chris Simms/Mike Florio - Florio is "buffaloed" by the fan chatter about depriving the Dolphins of sideline heaters.  Simms carefully packed up a large crate of Bulletin Board Material, labeled it "Tungavailoa, Tua, for the Use Of" and shipped it FedEx Overnight to Miami.

 

TL;DW basically said that when Tua has had to play in bad weather, he's not just been off, he's been awful.

 

Kurt Warner echoes the concerns about Tua needing to prove he can play in bad weather but in a more measured, positive way.

He also echoes the concerns Greg Cosell, Dan Orlovsky and others have raised about our WR corps: how good is it, after Diggs?  Can the #2 and #3 guys make the tough catches, because last week, they couldn't.  Says in the red zone, Josh is going off script and pressing trying to create and that's causing problems.

Aww, dang... now the Fish are going to be prepared if the weather is a little bit chilly...

Maybe they could add some paper snow on the field to go with that bitter 60 degrees

With McDermott's comment, I wonder who starts this game at CB2?  Probably Jackson but maybe that comment left the door open for someone else?

Royal - Jackson is the worst corner I have ever seen. What's your opinion of him.

Haha yeah set the AC to near perfect football temps while being indoors. That should really help them prepare.🙄

They favor this Florida team, yes.

 

This Bills team is soft and the OC doesn't want to run the football. We caught a real break when they let us move the Cleveland game to Detroit or that woulda been a loss. 

 

He's on a roll.

Then you haven't seen many CB's if you think he's the worst you ever seen. He's having a down season sure, but he looked good last season and had a good year drawing a bit of attention.

 

In any event, it's clear he's struggled some this year, but don't see how you could honestly say the worst you have ever seen

Last week: This is ridiculous, build a dome!

This week: This is brilliant, bring on the snow!

Somehow this reminds me a little bit of the (possibly apocryphal) saint who decided to see how he could tolerate being burnt by putting his finger in a candle flame.

I think it will be a close game and I think Tua will be better than people are assuming. But I think the Bills will win.

I’m with you.  Snow is a great equalizer.  I was hoping for a clean field.

It’s an equalizer for speed. Favors team with better run game and defense. Which is

Watertown averages slightly less than Buffalo in terms of snow but places like Booneville and Highmarket get crushed with like 200+ inches

The only thing that will do is delay their arrival time to whatever hotel they are staying in.

 

This isn't "shutdown the airport" snow.

No, but if you’ve ever landed there, especially from the northwest (which will make their plane have to do a 180 at low altitude given where they’re coming from), you know it’s not the most comfortable trip down.  Hope they enjoy that.

Regardless of the weather, I want to see the Bills play a solid game for all four quarters. Eliminate self inflicted mistakes (penalties, dropped passes and poor execution) and on D better initial tackling, getting off the field on 3rd down and getting after the QB.

PREACH!

 

These miami whiners wish they didn't have to play in Orchard Park EVER. I hope our Bills D-line folds Tua like a piece of paper @-@

They should’ve moved out of the afce when they had the chance

After the Cleveland/Detroit weekend snowstorm with 60+ inches….the forecast calling for 10”-18” this weekend sounds like flurries.
