They must think that the Ralph will be a mess on Tuesday night as well.

According to Jason LaCanfora it's either Detroit or the Meadowlands.

There's no way the NFL lets it become a Jets home game, is there?

Just move the game til Tuesday or Wednesday and flex Browns-Bills to Monday Night next week.

I dunno why that wouldn't be an acceptable solution.

The only reason I can see the Meadowlands being a conceivable idea is that there won't be a chance of having a half empty neutral crowd stadium cuz we all know the NFL is about image.

And you won't have to worry about blackouts

Too bad that Frozen Dome Classic wasn't being played...that would have been a good spot to hold a game like this in Syracuse. Tailgating would have sucked since there are no large parking lots but I would have liked to see how an NFL game was received in the 'Cuse and it would have still been like a home game with the fan base.

Move it to the Meadowlands then make the Jets come here twice next year.

I wonder how the game is going to be televised.

According to Profootball talk.com, Toronto is a possibility.

It sucks, the game was scheduled to be on local TV in Ft Myers, now who knows if it will be shown at all outside of Buffalo & NYC area?

Toronto doesn't want to see the Bills play.

Isn't the past 6 years enough evidence?

They have the Leafs to laugh at already.

The smart thing to do would be to cancel the game altogether... Make it up only if it has playoff implications.

The Jets are 2-8 and the Bills are 5-5... Chances are slim that, in the grand scheme of things, this game will mean anything.

I'd be willing to bet that, had Foxboro, MA been hit with all of this snow, moving the game to a neutral site would be completely out of the question... It would be played in Foxboro, or not at all.

I wonder how the game is going to be televised.in the past espn has picked up games that were rescheduled. Not necessarily football, but they have broadcast Monday us open playoffs and such. Seeing as they are an nfl partner i could see them doing that

Jim Nance just said that the game will be on Monday at 7 PM on CBS in the Buffalo and New York markets.

Yep, the out-of-towners might be out of luck watching the game if it's like it sounds it is. Maybe they'll put it on NFL Network for those folks or something.

Sure seems like they should do that.

Haven't heard anything about that yet.

Agree. Next week's Monday night is Miami/Jets, not exactly a marquee game either besides that of course, it's in New Jersey's palace.

It ticks me off we lose a home game, and have to play on the road without practices. Yes I know it's happened before, but there's no reason it should again, the NFL for all its high powered "organization" looks real feeble and second rate in dorking around so long in handling this. It doesn't take a mad skillz genius to have obvious contingencies in place for the sport, no matter who it involves.

I wonder if tickets are going to be discounted. I would think about driving to Detroit, but not to get there and pay $100 for a ticket in a half-empty stadium.

When Ford Field staged the Giants-Vikings game after the roof of the Metrodome collapsed, tickets were free. Presumably, they’ll be free this time, too.

"They" are saying free with donations accepted.

Who, exactly, do they figure is going to buy a ticket to this game? Nobody is going to be in the stadium.

This is ridiculous.

I suppose that if the dome at Ford Field caved in and the Lions had to play the Jets at the Ralph, and tickets were free, I would go.

Hell, I may even drive to Detroit for this game.
