So the Bills get to play in a dome Sunday. I’ll wager the Dolphins will be in Buffalo during SOMEWHAT frigid conditions. Doesn’t seem quite fair. They played an NFL championship in similar conditions.
Bills get a pass

You think they’ll call first dibs and get the shady sideline?
Hope nobody turns the thermostat up, they’ll complain about the heat!

I’m confused, both teams would have had to play in the snow, and now both teams have to play in a dome. What’s the problem? Buffalo is also losing a home game.

Pro Football Talk explains the reasons why and covers the stupid conspiracies.
It's an infrastructure, public safety thing. The same as when a Miami game was moved due to a hurricane.
The game was moved for the safety of everyone. They don’t want anyone but emergency vehicles driving on the roads because they are expected to have 4-5 feet of snow.
Being fair has no part in this decision. Saving lives and not having fans or players travel to the Buffalo stadium in dangerous weather is far more important than the fact the game was moved to another stadium. In the end it’s only a GAME and it isn’t worth risking one life to try and play the game in Buffalo.

- you tell me and we will both know
Call it a tie that will stuff their record up.
Safety trumps all. No sport should take precedence over lives.
This. If Allen is a better QB then Tua, and the Bills are a more talented team then Miami, then have Miami and the Bills play in climate controlled environment if the weather comes close to being horrible.
Bills get a huge break, but not Miami, right?
it was never realistic from a safety stand point, but damn i was hoping so bad to see a game in 6 foot of snow
They’re human beings man.
4 feet of snow isn’t a joke.
We got 3 feet here in Bethlehem, Pa a couple years ago. People can’t go anywhere for 2-3 days with that kind of snowfall. Like maybe you can walk your dog 20 feet, if you’ve managed to shovel every couple of hours.
Unlike water, YOU have to move the snow.
And on that note, I’m ready for some snow. I fugging love it. I weep for all your Floridians who’ve never gone skiing or at the very least sledding.
Book yourselves a trip to the poconos ASAP.

well as of right now, the Bills can’t even fly out of Buffalo.....if they go by bus it'll take them about 5 hours or so if they go via Canada into Michigan......and they can’t move the game to Monday because they play on Thursday

When was last time traveling to Detroit was the safer option for anything?
I love how for the big emergencies they always break out the cliche, "abundance of caution...blah blah blah".
