    RUMOR: The game will be delayed until Monday….

    You can’t get this many people safely through impassable roads, it’ll take days to clean up. I’d figure Monday late-afternoon game & Thursday game is an oh well tough beane.

    Are you ready for some snow? The NFL may witness its first snow game of the season when the Browns travel to face the Bills in Week 11 on Sunday. A winter storm watch for Erie, Genesee, and Wyoming counties in the Buffalo area has been issued by the National Weather Service starting on Thursday night and lasting through Sunday, via The Buffalo News. Highmark Stadium, the home of the Bills in Orchard Park, New York, resides in Erie county.
    A projected one to two feet are forecasted to hit the area while the heaviest squalls could produce one to two inches of snow per hour, per the National Weather Service. Below-freezing air blowing across Lake Erie is expected to generate snow throughout the weekend.
    Naturally, this could have a big impact on this AFC matchup between Cleveland and Buffalo. The Bills are looking to snap a two-game losing skid and claw back atop the standings in the AFC. Meanwhile, Cleveland is looking to rebound after a 39-17 road loss to the Dolphins.

      When is the heaviest of the storm supposed to hit? Could they move the game up to Saturday? Moving back would be incredibly unfair to ask the team to turnaround and play three days later.

        Or

        Maybe they should reschedule the Thanksgiving Day game to Friday or Saturday.

          It will start on Thursday night and snow the heaviest on Friday and Saturday.

          Supposedly about 31 inches.

          A band is going to set up around the city and suburbs and just sit there for three days.

            It’s possible, but I’d be a little surprised if they were willing to do that. The Lions on Thanksgiving is a huge tradition for the NFL.

              It's Buffalo. Plow the snow, play the game.

                Another problem is can they need to clear snow out of stadium and clear parking spaces as well.

                  As of right now, Saturday looks like it will be much worse than Sunday. But you are right. They can't be expected to play 2 games in 4 days.

                    Let’s spend $1.4+ Billion on an open air stadium.

                    Brilliant.

                      They can't move this game any further down the line. The Bills already play 3 games in an 11 day span (Sunday, Thursday, Thursday) thanks to the genius NFL schedule makers. Has a Bills game ever been moved besides the one a few years ago when there was that huge ice storm and they had to play in Detroit?

                          They can't move the game to Monday and they won't. Period.

                            the only thing I can see happening is they move it to Detroit.

                            I'd assume that that decision would have to be made ASAP, like today or tomorrow.

                              that's possible. And you're right, they need to make a decision soon. But they're playing somewhere on Sunday
