Buffalo Bills 2023 Thread

[Toga]

Davis being out might save Josh a pick since those two are completely crossing wires this year

He will be missed in this type of game for his blocking abilities. Bills do need to use an early draft pick on a WR.

unless its dangerous they will play... They play thru hurricanes wind and rain. White outs may make it hard to see on TV but lots of storms do that.. if its too bad for the players to get there thats different.

Its also a holiday on monday and they have a monday night game.. They could always try to move it to that afternoon if they could get the infrastruture set up.

0 teams play through hurricanes. Any games near a possible hurricane are always moved to either a different day or different venue.

bills jets played in 2013 in 60+ winds because of area tornados around the meadowlands.

Windy. Snow will taper off and end during the morning leading to cloudy conditions during the afternoon. High 27F. Winds WSW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

those who want to get there to tailgate it might suck. might not even be well plowed around the stadium or in peoples yards.

The total has plummeted nearly 10 pts yet the spread RTS. You’d have to bet Pitt here from a value perspective. A 10 pt drop in total yet the spread unchanged at 10?

When I looked Sunday night or Monday morning it was 35.5 and remains 35.5. Not sure where you looked or when but I've never seen another number since the matchup was set.

Davis and Rapp out for Sunday

Dodson and Douglas not ruled out. Dodson practicing today but Douglas will not

Thanks, this is a general question...did Rapp really get hurt on that game-ending interception? What happened? Thought he landed on the ball

It must have been on that play but before the actual pick. Maybe pushing off to dive for the interception. It did look like he landed on the ball but he got up limping and favoring his leg.

Yes unfortunately he did, calf injury. Doesn't appear overly serious but he's out this week for sure.

That's bizarre. Just looked back at my group thread with buddies and I texted them the 35.5 number at 12:46 Monday afternoon. That didn't leave a lot of room for it to fall from Monday at midnight when the game ended.

And now the governor has pre-emptively declared a state of emergency.

Monday would be better

 

[Cusefan0307]

Move the game to Monday. This has all the makings of a 3-0 game if it’s played. Not sure if anyone remembers the Jet game a few years ago, but the stands were basically empty.

 

[Toga]

You think Erie County would hesitate to institute a travel ban in at least the Southtowns after what happened last year? Then what? Move it to Monday.

Problem is NFL is seeing/imagining record TV numbers as people tune in to watch a game played in a shaken snowglobe.

I also think because the warning is for Sat-early Mon they're likely afraid if they move it and at 1pm Sunday its just windy their never gonna hear the end it. I'll be shocked if they actually move it.
