Is the Niagara Falls airport open? That would be closer although there’s still a travel ban pretty sure though no police officers pulling over the Buffalo Bills bus

Sucks if the players can’t be with the kids tomorrow.  

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Sucks they most likely won't be with their families tomorrow but better to be somewhere safe so you can celebrate a day or 2 late 

 

Plus I'm sure if it means 1 missed or delayed Christmas most would take the kind of life football has given them

Zero chance they can drive into Buffalo tonight.

 

Southtowns where they all live supposed to get hammered all day tomorrow.

 

It's 538 miles from Chicago, They've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and they're wearing sunglasses.

Or fly into Buffalo even if the airport is "closed" to the general public.

 

Depends on whether they can get a runway plowed.

McDermott spilled the beans at the post game press conference.  Blame him.  

[muppy]

the Bills need to park themselves in Chicago until it is safe to fly.  It's too much risk for a single day even Christmas. .

 

The families WILL celebrate Christmas just not on the 25th. No doubt. It sucks. But it is what it is. Mother Nature can be a female dog

I don't know why they refuse to use Rochester/ Syracuse/ Niagara Falls (still open?) airports.

I'm in Greece NY a suburb north of Rochester on Lake Ontario. We have literally 0 weather right now.

 

It was really bad yesterday and up till around noon. There is some light wind and most of the burbs got 1-3 inches of snow and it's not even blowing.

 

I have made it form my house to Orchard Park in 45 minutes.

OK, I had heard nothing to that effect. What I had read was the Buffalo Airport was closed until 12/26.

Thanks for clarifying.

Maybe they can hitch a ride with Gus Polinski and his Polka Band...they'd fit right in here in Buffalo...you know..."The Polka Kings of the MidWest"??

I started that rumor. I’ve been drinking since the second quarter. 

 

I’m also the pilot!
