Bills ought to fly to Oakland on Friday

[G. Host]

The Bills have a lot of problems adjusting to West Coast and should consider flying on Friday rather than Saturday. This will allow them to get a practice in on Saturday and shake any rust from flying. They have not won in Oakland/LA for a long, long time.

I used to keep history stats on my website (no longer room) but on a old version of my website I have history stats (sorry ahead of time for popups):

The Bills have not won in Oakland / LA since 1966!

Re: Bills ought to fly to Oakland on Friday

The Bills problems have nothing to do with air travel.

Air travel across this continent for a 3.5 hour, mid afternoon event, held the day after, is totally inconsequential.

Pro athletes and pro management should understand that that excuse dog don't hunt.

Since that dog isn't allowed off the porch.... how about climate change?

I've only been to the West Coast once, but I'm with gameboy. It didn't screw with me at all.

Re: Bills ought to fly to Oakland on Friday

It is more than 3.5 hours flight and since a lot of those guys are so large travelling in a plane for that duration can slow down muscle circulation and result in increased cramping. It usually passes after a day or some which is why I recommended flying on Friday. Flying on a Saturday risks delays (occasionally air traffic and weather delays have forced teams to get in as late as 1 AM day before on cross country trips) and not giving enough time to settle in.

Make Friday the travel day and Saturday the light workout/walkthrough day - it only makes sense!

I'm not sure its going to matter. I know the cowboys stayed in the bay area the whole week after the 49ers game, and they still lost and were stymied on offense for 3 quarters until Drew led them back late.

I just have the feeling that lamont jordan is going to be a beast in this game, and if the raiders control the clock the rout will be on. I just can't see buffalo taking this one, especially since this is the 3rd game of a 3 game homestand. They were smacked by san diego last week and will be ready to play against the bills, plus a worse raider team beat us last year.

If the Raiders defense slowed down Dallas's attack, I don't think Buffalo has any prayer at all.

I believe they came to Buffalo during Bledsoe's first season here.

Come on! What the hell make you think that Bills ought to fly to solve problems.

Yes and they won in a shootout 49-31....even bledstud and his 400 yards couldn't carry the bills to a win that day.

In fact, the raiders are 3-0 in their last 3 games against the stud, including the big win a few weeks ago against dallas. They just have his number it seems.

Well tha it's a good thing Drew isn't playing the Raiders this week. I do expect a win on the road which will send us flying high into next Sunday night when we have the Patriots! Would it not be nice to be 5-3 and all by ourselves in first place?

Seems Dudsoe forgot to mention Drew's 3 interceptions and one fumble lost in that game as well. But, he OBVIOUSLY wasn't the main reason the team lost.

Heck, Not that it matters, but I'm flying to Oakland on Friday as well!
"jet lag" effects different people in different ways. I know I was never bugged by it until rencently. Either way, I'm still thinkin our Bills win comfortablely.
