What happens if the Bills can’t get to Detroit?

[SantaClaraHawk]

They are supposed to leave tomorrow for Detroit, but the storm is not abating. Planes aren’t taking off, and there is a driving Ban around their and surrounding counties.

They couldn’t postpone the game to Monday because they play Lions on Thursday. So when exactly would the game be made up if they can’t leave?

Bills plan to fly to Detroit on Saturday afternoon; what if they can't get to the airport?

The Bills will play their home game in Detroit on Sunday.

If they can't play this weekend, then they'll just have to play a doubleheader some other Sunday.

If they can't play this weekend, then they'll just have to play a doubleheader some other Sunday.

But can they do so under the cba? After all, that’s why moving the game to Monday wasn’t an option as they are scheduled to play Detroit on Thanksiving.

By boat? Port of Buffalo to Port of Detroit? Afterall they are on the same lake, and 210 nautical miles or 250 miles. A boat going at 20 knots will take 10 hours. Or boat to Erie, and go from there, by plane or bus. Buffalo to Erie is much closer, 80 miles, then charter a plane to Detroit.

This will be interesting. Both teams have had their bye already and presuming a Bills win, this negatively impacts both teams (Bills playoff seeding and the Lions draft order).

The game should have remained in Buffalo and played in 5 feet of snow. Cmon, it's football. Back in my day, we'd walk to school in more snow than that.

Wussies.

It looks pretty incredible there.

If you're wondering what three feet of snow looks like, the Bills have you covered

Buffalo airport reopens; now the Bills just have to get there

The massive snowstorm in Buffalo has subsided sufficiently to allow the local airport to open.

Born seventy-five miles away and so glad we left when I was a kid. Look at all that pretty (cold, annoying, dangerous) snow.

Btw, it’s a real blue tick, not Twitter blue.

Twitter has so screwed up that blue tick.

They could flex another game to Thursday and schedule them to play that game on Sunday after Turkey day.

They made it!

Bills dig themselves out of snow to make trip to Detroit

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills executives Ron Raccuia and Derek Boyko weren’t going to let a little — actually a lot of — snow stop them from picking up left tackle Dion Dawkins on Saturday morning.

I am sure the Bills Mafia would agree with you
