Yep . High percentage chance of snowball activity in those areas

Not surprising .. bad weather, reschedule, low star power opponent. Also a guaranteed home game next week vs KC if they win . Definitely won’t be a full stadium

Makes sense. Latest slot on Sunday..just get it done! Go Bills!

Pretty cool for the Detroit fans

Belichick ?

Pretty good intro by Eminem

Exactly. Now a road team has won, which I like. You know each round there will be a road upset ; now that’s out of the way !

Cowpokes getting schooled right now

Didn’t exactly happen for him overnight though

I think those ARE essential , right ?

I don’t think so, as the Steelers are the low seed and not hosting.

The Bills playoff position wasn’t determined until the leagues final regular season game ended. The potential matchups / times were shown at halftime. Iirc , the Chiefs were playing on Saturday regardless (I believe NBC wanted Mahomes for their Peacock exclusive game ) and there was a scenario where the Bills were involved in that game. The Bills as the 2 seed were going to play Sunday after a Sunday nite game the previous week. That sounds about right. It was one more day rest vs the 3 seed with a Saturday game.

nope

You heard correctly, but that was related to the Damar Hamlin situation rather than some “ experiment “. More just a “ fair” solution to Buffalo if both the Chiefs and Bills qualified for the AFC title game. The Bills ( and Bengals) played one less game than KC, and the Bills had a head to head win over the Chiefs so this would only have taken place if that matchup materialized. As we all know, Buffalo was eliminated in the divisional round. At the time, the NFL did say that neutral site Championship games were probably happening down the road.

Oh I agree, but it is still an advantage to play at home vs a neutral site. I’ve always thought that weather as an advantage is overrated.

It sounds like the NY officials knew it is an advantage for the Bills to play at home in the playoffs ,and lobbied for the game to be rescheduled rather than played elsewhere.

That’s not what was being considered though. It would have been Atlanta if they had changed the site.

It appears the NFL actually wanted to move the game to Atlanta vs playing in a blizzard.

So you’d prefer that Bills vs Steelers was moved to Atlanta instead of rescheduled ?

There’s bad weather , then there’s dangerous weather.

This is correct. The NFL would not play a game there, much less a playoff game.

Bills 23 PIT 15

A lot of stuff went uncalled in this game: I generally prefer that to the alternative. On the play in question , I believe Josh thought Ty would be able to break the plane. I don’t recall a receiver actually in the EZ, so I guess a throwaway and 3 point try was the better choice. I don’t think there was gonna be a next play as the time expired.

Sure, but if Bills and Dolphins both win, Dolphins go to BAL. The chances of the Bills seeing MIA in these playoffs are slim. I agree that KC in our building would be a nice change.

The schedule ( place finishers within divisions - not exact teams ) is a rotation that is predetermined for many years out. Example : AFCE 1st place finisher hosts AFCW 1st and 3rd place ) You can find it online.
