    Anticipated Chicago blizzard could impact Bills-Bears Week 16 game

    Even if the game itself is not impacted by the snow, it sounds like pre-game travel will be — and the game will be bitterly cold


    The Buffalo Bills have had to navigate around multiple crazy-weather events during their current five-game winning streak, and as they get set to travel to play the Chicago Bears this weekend, another set of complications from Mother Nature potentially awaits them.
    WGRZ chief meteorologist Patrick Hammer mentioned early Monday morning that Chicago is anticipating a blizzard on Friday, which could complicate travel plans for those coming into the city — including the Bills.

    (And yes, the Lions play on the road at the Carolina Panthers this coming weekend, so Ford Field is not set to be hosting a football game this weekend.)

        Nonsense. We should win every game by 20+ or blah,blah,blah,failure.. Just win.

          You know, that would be good karma for losing a home game earlier in the season. I'd say that would actually feel a little more like a home game for us.
          Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

            Hopefully the NFL won't wait until the last effing minute to move it again, if they do.

              Let’s hope, but at least the Bills have been through this and understands what to do.

                if nothing else, its gonna be another cold one. That Russian vortex thingy.

                A high of 9 on Sat, low of 1 and winds as high as 26 mph.

                Be prepared with the most accurate 10-day forecast for Chicago, IL with highs, lows, chance of precipitation from The Weather Channel and Weather.com


                Kansas has been warned, we're getting wind chills of -20 to -30 on Friday.

                    Hammer pegged the last Blizzard in Buffalo, so I’m sure he’ll get Chicago weather right…

                      Expect a heavy dose of rushing from Josh.

                        Peter King had the perfect observation of how the Bills are built and the myth that they are a “better dome team” in his weekly “Awards Section"....

                        Offensive players of the week


                        Josh Allen, quarterback, Buffalo. I laugh when I hear people say the Bills are a better dome team than iceberg team. Last two games in Ice Station Zebra weather: Bills 44, Patriots 7 last January, and 32-29 over the Dolphins Saturday night. Uh, 76 points in eight quarters of awful cold weather? Kill the “better in a dome” narrative. Allen was brilliant Saturday night (see my NFL Next Gen Stats section, above): 10 rushes for a team-high 77 yards, 25 of 40 for 304 yards, four TDs and no picks for a 119.2 rating with brilliant drives of 75 and 86 yards to overcome an eight-point fourth-quarter deficit.

                          So this time do we use the home team locker room or is the less greater visitors locker room our best bet?

                          Even if you're just a littlestitious we should keep everything the same.

                          If you've paid attention you will get the littlestitious comment.

                            Whether you're stitious or not, I'm sure Chicago gets to decide who uses what locker room as they are the home team. They may want the visitor locker room, as that's what they use every year when they play the Lions.

                              Major airlines have issued travel waivers ahead of the winter weather storm that’s forecasted to rock cities including Chicago — a key air travel hub — the hardest.
