Bills thread for 2023-24

[BUCKSKI]

Gonna be in the 20's windy and snowing this Sunday. Home
Been articles in the media about local authorities making the environment safer for visiting fans.
Hope they bring helmets with shields, parking lots get pretty bad with snowballs.
I know that Santa won't get beat up in WNY like some places
Great Having Monday off, might see some bourbon in the forecast Sunday

Go Bills!

[trapper2000]

i  do  think the  bills   will  win  however   the  snow  is  supposed  to  be  over   bye  noon   and  the  steelers  play outside in the  cold  too and  not that far away  .......i  don't  think weather  will be a  factor other then  wind  and  field  goals

Pittsburg and B-lo are two different weather creatures.
The Burg does not get arctic cold, ? Lake effect, wind?
Freezing rain perhaps, hills.
The weather will show up to play a part! Got that feeling!

Coldest part of the day is forecasted from 1-3pm 19 degrees, 60% precipitation
Bring the gortex, handwarmers and flask!!!!

[Neil McCauley]

Bernie Rayno had some interesting predictions about this...

&t=49s

lake effect south of the game, and tons of wind.

[ice4066]

That is lame...

[Raquettedacker]

The total wuusification of what this country has become..  Especially this state. 

[WARRIOR_ON_ICE]

Agreed. How many people are going to be at the stadium on Monday ?

[WARRIOR_ON_ICE]

Kathy Hochul is keeping all of us safe   

[Raquettedacker]

And all the people working at restaurants and bars tomorrow expecting big crowds will be out of a lot of money.  Who’s going to show up Monday afternoon.??

It’s the bills and Steelers. 2 diehard fan bases, they’ll show tomorrow.  Honestly it probably increases profits by adding an extra day for fans to spend money.

[UofLCARDS]

Kathy Hochul is keeping all of us safe   

That would be a first if it was true ....

[Raquettedacker]

[trapper2000]

 62,000  fans  most  coming the  thruway   during  white  out  conditions  and  them  driving  out  threw  2 to 3 foot of  snow  ......  yeah how  dare  anyone  usr there head and  delay  the  game  bye  20 hours   so what  if  if   thousands  of  people  are  endangered  .......and  millions  of  dollars  are  lost  ........

They are paying $20 for people to shovel today, first shift started @ 8am, still a driving ban in Erie County and all thuways.

Love to watch them play today, but do you know how difficult it would be to babysit 50,000 fans?? , let alone a 100,000

Had season tickets for the 80's-90's Bills, GREAT STUFF, but some folks are just nuts and party all day and get loaded. Man you could make documentaries just in the parking lots!.
I might have to take Tuesday off now??? IDK???

[trapper2000]

i  find it amusing ,people   complain about  risking  rescue workers  when people  go out on iffy ice  yet  people  would  be willing to have a  game  when  travel is banned   over 2  foot of  snow is expected risk   70 thousand  fans  risk   rescue workers   block snow romoval  risk  firemen and police  and  risk homeowners  when  rescue can't get to them  all this  for a  game that  can  be  played  monday ......and it sure isn't the  first  weather postponed  game ....besides  monday is a  holiday ....... i think they  did the  smart thing  ....  storm of 2014 moved the  game  but  the storm  still cost the  lives of 14 people

Trap, well said. In addition, as the county executive noted law enforcement required to police the game would take away from helping those who put themselves senselessly in harms way but traveling when they are banned from doing so.

I had season tickets in the 90s. The scary part is Bills fans will be pregaming from 8am until kickoff. They will get ugly for sure. Takes away from the experience for families who attend and is why I will likely never go to a live game again.

I’ll just smoke chicken wings and enjoy the game on my HD TV
