Hopefully this sets a nice precedent going forward. It would be nice if we could shimmy our way out of a few inclement weather games in that hole that Buffalo calls a stadium. Big advantage to the Jills IMO. They avoid having to tackle Chubb, Hunt and one of the top rushing attacks in the snow. Buffalo themselves can’t run the ball much outside of Allen. Buffalo has been struggling the last few weeks… I was thinking Cleveland has a chance here in heavy snow. Buffalo loses home field advantage. But I think their air attack is their bigger weapon. So this works out nicely for them. Game will be played indoors at neutral Ford Field in Detroit. Kind of sucks. Was looking forward to watching the snow game with Miami on bye…
Bills gain the climate advantage, but I'd have to believe there will be a ton of Browns fans in Detroit. It's a quick drive to Detroit from northeast Ohio. I wonder how ticket allocation is handled?
This makes me wonder if we're going to play better in bad conditions than we did last year. Tua said he was going to practice in cold weather after the L we caught in Nashville.
Why anyone would voluntarily live in that area is beyond me. I live outside of Philly, and that’s too far north for me, but I can’t convince my wife to head south or west.
I'm stunned they are making this move. They must feel like you do that they have better shot at winning in doors.
It’s supposed to snow all the way up to game time; I don’t they will be able to clear the roads in time for 70,000 people (plus teams and stadium staff) to get there. Even for a city that’s used to lake affect blizzards, four feet is a lot. That much snow would shut down any other city in the northeast. It would take Philly two weeks to dig out from under that much snow.
