Because of the heavy snow, a travel ban has been placed in parts of the Buffalo area. As such, the Bills may not actually be able to travel to Motor City for their game against the Browns, putting the Week 11 tilt in jeopardy.
Guess they'll have to forfeit then. That's a shame. [Reply]

I remember a story of NFL players being picked up by snowmobiles... Can't remember any details. But yeah still need an airport.
I don't know why you wouldn't have already flown out. Seems dumb. [Reply]

Yeah it does kinda suck.
I guess Niagara Falls is cool but other than that it’s “blah”. [Reply]

Last time this happened they were snowmobiling players to the airport. [Reply]

Upstate NY is pretty nice. I went hiking on family trip up in the Adirondacks one summer when I was a kid and it had some gorgeous lakes and scenic areas but Buffalo just seems like no man’s land in between the rust belt and northeast. [Reply]
