The last few days have directed the attention of the Bills fans and the rest of the NFL to the weather in Buffalo, New York. The west side of New York was on watch for a massive snow dump that would make movement impossible and a football game even more so.

In response to the snow, the league moved the game to Detroit, but that left the team with a logistical hurdle in getting the players to the airport during the snow pile up. As such, the drama is now about whether the team will reach the game at all. Fans have reacted to the news. Here's some of what they had to say:

Looking at the big picture, fans appear to feel an overall sentiment of frustration. It would not be the first game heavily influenced by the weather. Many others wondered what the solution would be if the team was unable to play in the contest, since the Bills also play on Thanksgiving.

In past years, Tuesday has been the backup time, but since the team plays on Thanksgiving, they would have to play two games with only one day in between. It would be the shortest break in NFL history. Some fans expect the Bills to forfeit and continue the losing streak as a result.

If the Bills lose against the Browns, they will drop to 6-4. They will also be on a three-game losing streak. Overall, the tide has been turning against them since they struggled to beat the Green Bay Packers in Sunday Night Football nearly a month ago.

If the Bills are forced to forfeit due to the snowstorm, and also lose on Thanksgiving, they will jump from a three-game losing streak to a five-game one in four days.

Even if the team is able to reach Detroit for the game, fans are expecting them to be down a few players who were unable to get out of their homes. In other words, the snowstorm could snowball into a season-threatening event.

The team is currently third in their division at 6-3 and don't have the tiebreaker against the New York Jets. They'll need to make up additional ground to catch the 7-3 Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, Josh Allen is dealing with an elbow injury and hasn't played up to his potential.

In each of his last three games, the quarterback has thrown two interceptions. Put simply, the team needs Mother Nature, their quarterback, and opposing teams to fall their way to get a desired outcome and avoid disaster.
