I would imagine plan B is to charter busses through Canada, no?Why did the Bills not go yesterday? Cancelling practice today and it will probably be a challenge to leave tomorrow. They may end up having to travel Sunday morning for a 1pm game

Or maybe fly out of Rochester?
Cold and/or snow may not be a big factor. Wind is another story. With the combination,the two starting qb's involved,start your rb's in this game and both defenses.
Thanksgiving day game could have been pushed back.. People would have gotten over it.
The whole county? I hadn't heard that. The Northern parts of the county aren't getting hit.I would imagine plan B is to charter busses through Canada, no?Why did the Bills not go yesterday?

Apparently there's a driving ban in the county so that could be a problem.
Could we then be talking about the Browns game being cancelled Sunday and pushed ahead to a different week? Interesting dynamic if that happens. Play on a Thursday? Watson back for Cleveland? hmmm...
Looks horrible now

Yeah, I can definitely see CBS network execs supporting that idea.
It's lake effect snow - anyone saying they know what's going to happen doesn't. The models indicate that's the most likely outcome, but all it takes is a subtle shift in wind and Orchard Park just gets flurries while Eden a few miles south is a white out (or vice versa). The one thing we do know? Real stupid of Buffalo not to leave last night.
The northern most towns don't have a driving ban at the moment. All the towns/cities not bordering Niagara County do have a driving ban.The whole county? I hadn't heard that.

Is there not one actual buffalo in this town? Cripes
Not sure why lots of people seem to think that these types of jokes about snowstorms are just fine when similar jokes regarding droughts or hurricanes or earthquakes or tornados would be understood by everyone to be in poor taste.
Seems crazy that the Bills didn’t at least rent out hotel rooms near the airport and have the entire team stay at there last night. Trying to organize one trip out for everyone is easier than your entire organization trying to figure out how to get from their houses to the airport or buses.
It would be like Buggs Bunny tunneling in the old cartoons.
It's happened before.
Understood but when I read too many people upset the game was moved, just assumed there was a humorous lane somewhere in here. I didn't know lives were in jeopardy, I just assumed like we do in Hurricanes, everyone locks the door and pops open a couple can s of their favorite adult beverage.
No, I wasn't talking about the 2014 move. There was a game in the Mario Williams era where fans/volunteers were taking snowmobiles to pick up players and take them to the stadium.
If the gametime temp is 40 and the gametime wind chill factor is 35 how does that add up to 19mph winds? Doesnt seem right.
Way to go NFL/Bills on the whole "Presale for Bills ticket holders" thing!
Yeah that makes sense.....I knew40/35 with19 mph winds didnt sound right.
They did give season ticket holders a window to buy first. I went in and looked, it was $30 for the best seat in the house. I decided against doing the drive.Way to go NFL/Bills on the whole "Presale for Bills ticket holders" thing!
Zero effort to get Bills fans/ticket holders first shot at tickets.
I can’t imagine too many fans from the affected area buying tickets. while it’s a short term PITA for the Bills, playing in Detroit is a pretty good solution, since next week will basically be a home game logistically for them now.They did give season ticket holders a window to buy first.

I agree in general, but there are many Bills fans in southern Ontario who should be mildly affected by the storm, and fans in the Buffalo northtowns could conceivably take one of the northern bridges and cross through Canada with relative ease. They'd probably need to leave ASAP though as the snow band has just shifted north of the city.
I live in a snow belt also, they can be very tricky as a wind shift can really mess things up. Be safe.
Not really. All you needed to do is enter the code. I joined the queue at 1:58 and already had 2000+ people ahead of me. That, and considering how fast tickets were hitting the secondary market, it is pretty clear the scalpers had no problem cutting in line.
The airport's open, Bills Mafia has snow mobiles, and the wind shift has opened the window for SE Buffalo for at least several hours - they'll get there...eventually.
It's the humidity.

Well, it seems to be sold out, so people are going.
