Jets at Bills this Sunday

[bkln]

From the look of it I doubt that Jets and Bills will be able to play this Sunday, Bills didn't even practiced yet this week. NFL should move this game to Monday or Tuesday. What you think?

[Red]

They mentioned on one of the news stations last night or the night before thst they were trying to get it moved to Monday night they are offering $10 hr and 2 tickets to the game to anyone that will go to the stadium and shovel

Tues would be rough , because then they play Sunday11/30 at 1pm vs the jets that play thay Mon night . as a fan tues night would be a cool change . we would have Mon night game, Tues night game, and 3 on Thanksgiving

I was wondering how they were planning on doing that since there was still a travel ban in Orchard Park last I checked.  

[Waldershrek]

Of course people (including county officials) are complaining about them using all this equipment to clear the snow from the stadium when there is still people unable to leave home. Nevermind the fact this equipment is privately owned and does not belong to the county.

who cares about a baseball game anyways? Are the Bills Triple A?

[wooly]

Pretty much a meaningless pee wee match up that doesn't even need to happen this season.

They could reschedule it for June and it wouldn't matter.

.... but if anyone wants to come shovel my driveway I'll give you $11/hour and 2 tickets to a Sabres game instead!

It's unfortunate for everyone, players, fans, money makers, but my guess is the game will be played Sunday or Monday. Both teams are out of the playoffs anyways imho.

It was just on the radio they are hiring ppl in shifts at 10.00 an hour to come shovel out the staduim..so they plan on playing sometime there...gave acontact place...should be on the web sight for anyone out that way in need of extra cash

[Lawdwaz]

First off buildings ARE collapsing RIGHT NOW and it WILL be getting worse.  Schmidts Garage in Hamburg has suffered a MAJOR collapse just now...........I heard BJ's in hamburg has a sagging roof also.  Just wait until that gets wet from the increased temps and rain.......good bye roof. That entire area around the stadium was hit very hard.

 

The Erie County Sheriff can not give deputies that have been working non stop since Monday night for a football game.  I'd bet there are 30-50 or maybe more needed for each football game.  What about Orchard Park PD, you think they are worn out?

 

The game isn't happening folks.

I thought the county put a stop to that because of the travel ban ?

Personally if they would cancel all NFL games for the rest of my life I'd be pretty happy or just get it off tv.

All I know is what I heard at 12pm on the way home....

[phade]

Moving it later to Mon or Tues isn't going to help.

 

The temps and rain is going to make that snow go somewhere...that much snow and rain usually means flooding. They're only hinting at it now, which stinks, because I think there's going to be some serious flooding going on.

I believe my dept is sending out structural collapse team your way to help out.

[landtracdeerhunter]

Cuomo's in town, he can go shovel it out.

 

He's good at shoveling stuff!

I just talked to a friend who is on the "Fire Wire" (he chases fires) and he has had better than 50 roof collapses come in TODAY.

With the roads closed in so many of those areas, I can't imagine how the shovelers could get there? I have only been out to one game. I remember there being a ton of parking on peoples yards and off stadium grounds. Without those spots is thee enough parking on the grounds for the entire crowd?

Nope

Now I'm hearing they will probably change the venue and move it to Monday to Detroit, Pittsburgh or DC.... I agree the game doesn't matter from the playoffs perspective but I will still watch it....

[mlammerhirt]

Nfl is a joke....the Bills should lend all their equipment to the cleanup effort.

Like Willy said this is a joke of a game and with this serious weather situation the Bills game should be an afterthought!

[G-Man]

but then what would we chat on here about....????

[Nomad]

Monroe county special opps collapse team and Rochester Fire Dept. Rescue 11 and Truck 10 headed to Buffalo to help out with building / roof collapse .

[fasteddie]

Well , if they move it out of The Ralph , It shouldn't be blacked out .

Even if the stadium were to be cleared , what about all the parking lots . Remember years ago when Buffalo was buried , people died , they loaded train cars and dumped that snow in Syracuse and some people there bitched .

Do the shovelers have to bring their own shovels ?

[growalot]

Even though I heard it on the radio...here is the link...
