slowmoe57 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Per my Nephew since they had 70 inches of snow the Bills are going to cancel todays practice and game may be moved to Monday night since they wont get enough practice in. This sounds like a bunch of Hooey to me but would royally suck since I am going ---- or not . Anyone hear of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billo83 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The only way I see this happening is if people won't be able to make it to the game on Sunday because of it. Would think that Buffalo is well able to handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There's actually a very real chance it gets moved.. Bunch of articles here in Rochester talking about it.. the bizarre thing is 8 miles away in downtown buffalo there was barely a trace of snow but in Orchard Park they're covered. They're talking about a couple more feet tomorrow which will go a long way in determining what happens. Meanwhile this sunday in buffalo it will be 50 and on Monday close to 60.

JetsFanInDenver Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Bills should just concede the game. But wait a minute, not so fast, nice try Bills. I know you want to improve your draft position and worsen the JETS draft position. No way we are going to allow that. Not at our expense. We concede the game. You win. But wait a minute, not so fast, nice try Bills. You wanna get a free victory to improve your chances of going to the playoffs. No way we are never going to allow that. Not at our expense. Just concede the game already. We win. - Schizoid personality disorder suffering JETS fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There's no way it gets played in Buffalo on Sunday. They have anywhere between 4 and 7 feet and there could be more tonight. The field in covered and it takes 3 days to clear 1 foot. The Jets would have issues flying or driving in. They'll have to play elsewhere or postpone until it melts a bit.

faba Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Despite over 4 feet of snow already dumped on the area this week and more than a foot more snow expected, the Buffalo Bills are still preparing to play Sunday's game against the New York Jets at Ralph Wilson Stadium as scheduled. "All of our intention and all of our focus is 1 o'clock on Sunday," a Bills spokesperson said on a conference call Wednesday. The Bills did not provide a timetable on when the NFL would decide whether it will be necessary to postpone the game or move it to another location. "We are working with the Bills today to determine the status of the stadium," an NFL spokesperson said. The Bills estimate that they will need to clear 220,000 tons of snow in order to clear the stadium for Sunday's game. The team is seeking at least 500 fans -- working on three shifts -- to shovel out the stadium. In return, the Bills will pay fans $10 per hour and offer free game tickets. "We don't have a minimum number [of people to shovel]," Bills vice president of operations and guest experience Andy Major said. "We can't have too many people helping." The team tweeted out a picture of their snowbound situation. The amount of snowfall is unprecedented for the stadium. {C} "We have not had this much snow, as far as we know, in the history of our team," Major said, adding that it typically takes three days to clear one foot of snow from the stadium. With driving bans in place across much of the area, Bills players were unable to get to the facility Wednesday and may not be able to practice Thursday, either. "We really don't know exactly what's going to happen, obviously with the weather report for tonight," coach Doug Marrone said. Marrone and most of his coaching staff stayed overnight Tuesday and plan on remaining at the facility Wednesday night. "It's very difficult to put in words exactly what is going on," Marrone said. "It's just a very, very difficult and challenging situation, not just for our organization and our football team, but for the region." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Anyone looking to pick up some extra money want to shovel 220000 tons of snow I'd pay them $10 an hour to not have to shovel that sh-t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lake effect snow and it's carved out a very specific area to dump all that crap on. So travel in/out of Buffalo isn't a problem. It's getting to the stadium.

munchmemory Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 For Bills fan i choose yellow. They just announced that the stadium ushers/usherettes will walk the sections with the syrup dispensers mounted on their backs. Right now with travel at an absolute standstill, they are going with the basic cherry, vanilla/coconut, and blue raspberry as the closest match to the Bills colors. Also, as of today, Torani has agreed to helicopter in a few special flavors like hazelnut and English toffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
