Just posted on Finheaven:
If Miami was Buffalo's opponent, for damn sure they would have found a way to get the game in as scheduled.
The heard the chatter about Pittsburgh possibly being successful against them with their running game in the snow.That last point always gets me….reminds me of when everyone talked up Cleveland that year the game got moved about how good their running game is yada yada then we ran them straight out of the building 😂. Pit is a stunningly mediocre team with an average oline and now that the game is moved they’re the 88 redskins and got screwed supposedly

The the Phins lose and we win then Finheaven is going to be the most entertaining site in the world next week
Yea I doubt they’ll grasp the difference between 10 inches of snow during the game and cold vs just cold 😂.

And one less day of rest if they advance.
I wonder if they worked out that the two teams winning Monday will play on Sunday next week instead of Saturday…still less rest than the opponent though but it could be worse

So what’s the weather like for that time?
We were supposed to get a bunch of snow Monday too but it looks like Mondays forecast improved

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills 8:15 pm. As we can see, wind was ~30 mph from the WSW at game time, with gusts up to 46 mph at game time, gust speed falling and wind falling slightly during the game.
Josh Allen 15 of 30 for 145 yds. No, it's not a record-setting passing performance but the point is - he threw in it.
Now, you're probably gonna say "but my point is....the Patriots won, 14 to 10!". So I'll move on to my point: football, for all its chess moves and complexity, is at core a simple game. It comes down to, as Josh's Wyo Coach used to say, "Man whupping man". The Pats don't sniff victory if Breida doesn't fumble a handoff from Josh.
Hang on to the rock and as @oldmanfan said, "go out there and whup their butts."
Wow I just said the wind was the same but you had charts and figures 😂. Pats needed a lot of plays to all go their way and it was their lucky night. It happens. Its not like they were a bad team that year either

Maybe, but I have to think a terrible weather day usually helps the inferior team. Pitt is just that.
If the wind is over 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph the passing game is virtually dead or at least severely hampered.
No man can pass in those conditions. It is concerning despite your spin.
That’s about what the pats wind game was and we could pass in it still even straight into the wind…I’d argue we waited too long to pass in that one

The weather is bad news for the Bills and great news for the Steelers, who are an inferior team in exactly the areas eliminated by the bad weather. The only difference between them now is that Allen can run more effectively than Rudolph, which is not much of an advantage. The game is likely to be decided by something stupid: a blocked punt, a defender falling down, a fumbled snap, etc.
It's basically a coin flip game, which sucks, because the Bills would blow them out in good weather.
The Steelers running game isn’t as good as ours even without factoring in qb runs. Their oline is mediocre, teams have been stacking the box and they have swung games hitting a big play or two through the air. It feels like people are comparing what they think the Steelers and bills franchise are known for vaguely rather than the actual current teams lol

Whoever they get for oc seems even more important than hc now…that defense was gonna be fine either way

They probably should’ve won last week and played at home this week if they were worried about it

With all due respect I really don’t think that’s the issue. I believe the consideration is that of general public safety, not home field advantage.
They can consider multiple things at the same time lol and given the clock has pretty much run out on moving it and still having the game at 1 Sunday, its likely they prefer a reschedule over moving it if the weather gets too bad

Play the game. Josh can still throw the ball.
I gotta agree…belichicks face when Josh started throwing darts into the wind in that infamous wind game was priceless. The result of that one was an absolute fluke and people take it like it’s gospel.
we’ve won all of the high wind games I can think of but that one

Last year’s playoff game vs Cincy was played in a snowstorm and not moved. Why would they move this one?
That was like a dusting of snow dude lol. They’re talking about possibly 18 inches now in this storm not sure how much during the game though

The guys on FS1 this morning said the Steelers would be morons to attempt even one pass in the weather. They should run every play and wait for Bills mistakes. I also would question Buffalo throwing any pass beyond 5-7 yards. If they try to get cute in terrible winds and snowfall it will not be good. It's not only hard to throw but its hard to track the ball and catch it too (it's rising and dipping all over the place). It will be a waste of a down if Josh is trying to complete downfield passes.
Just run, scramble a bit with Allen and play better D than Pittsburgh and wait for THEM to make the mistakes.
Now I’m kind of glad the wind game happened because that’s an absolutely idiotic strategy that people think is viable apparently lol that game was an absolute fluke with NE breaking that big run…they had like 200+ rushing yards and only crossed midfield twice. That NE oline was pretty good too and pits is just ok. And who says running every play is any safer? The fumble risk is high.
not saying youre wrong it’s the fs1 guys. Keeping the passes shorter would obviously be smart.

The lake effect forecast appears to be getting worse and I'm sure the NFL is keeping an eye on this along with input from the Bills and Erie County. The rumor about Cleveland was denied yesterday but where there's smoke there's usually fire. They can't have 60-70K people risking their lives on state roads getting in and then somehow getting home safely. I think Cleveland being floated out there makes some sense in that both Buffalo and Pittsburgh can saddle up pretty quickly, last minute, to get over there. They may hold off on any decision to move until Saturday, which seems kind of nuts but they just don't know where the squall line will set up.
Yea the denial was not even a denial really lol they said ‘there’s no plans to move the game’ and there likely aren’t yet…doesn’t mean they didn’t talk to Cleveland about being a backup site
I think it’s too late to have the game Sunday and move it now though so they’re either playing in it or it’s gonna get postponed. Last time they decided to move Thursday and it was still tough so I’d assume Friday would be even worse
-
There’s a lot of legendary coaches that would be just ok if you took their best player away lol. He was also the gm that drafted Tom and the coach that gave him a shot too so I think he deserves some credit for Brady’s success also

Come playoff the McD has been disappointing.
So what. I doubt the Steelers pass game can beat the Bills.
It's playoff time. This isn't the time to trust McD. Sorry but it's true.
I don’t think there’s as big of a distinction between a big time regular season game and a playoff game as people make it sound. We’ve been playing playoff football for weeks now against playoff teams battling for seeding and the defense has played well.
1 minute ago, The Jokeman said:I don't think we have 4 healthy starting caliber LBs on the roster to pull that off. Toss in Pittsburgh's WR of Johnson and Pickens can be sneaky good so playing just 3 DBs makes no sense.
All the talk about Pitt has been interesting to me…you’d think they are calling the army offense and just running every play lol. Really their running game has been mediocre and they’ve been getting it done throwing when the box gets crowded

We’ve now heard it said many times that a 4th down play with a throw and pick in the end zone is “just like a punt”. This contradicts every coach who has taught his DBs to situationally knock the ball to the ground on 4th if there’s no clear lane to return past the 20. Just this past Sunday Allen throws a 4th down pick to DaShon Elliot in the EZ. For sake of example I’d use another division team- if Elliot had cost a Belichick team 15 yards with a blunder like that he’d probably be sitting for the rest of the game. The reality is you can’t count on the other side to be stupid. A punt in the same situation could easily yield an inside the 10 yard line starting point versus the 20 the Fish got on this play- a play they could have had the ball at the 35 if Elliot played it right.
No one has said a 4th down throw is just like a punt lol a deep third down INT is just like a punt because it’s either intercepted deep down the field or knocked down/dropped and you have an opportunity to punt still. A 4th down play you’re gonna lose possession if you don’t make a play anyway so you might as well give it a chance…that’s not really the same thing. Gabe had a chance at that ball if he didn’t fall down
yea in retrospect when everyone’s covered on 4th down it’d be nice to be able to go back in time and punt but unfortunately the world doesn’t work that way lol

If the Fins have Mostert available their run game is better than KC. Suck it up and deal with it.
It’s about the same…neither can run the ball when the box gets crowded. Agree with the suck it up part though lol

Steelers can watch tape of the same game too though, and plan accordingly, right? Hope I’m wrong, I just suspect we’re going to be doing a lot of nail biting during the game, hoping a bounce goes our way near the end. On the other hand, if we get up early, I could see the game literally “snowballing” away from Pittsburgh, as they try to mount a comeback only to keep digging themselves into a deeper hole and whatever Bills crowd is there going crazy.I feel like watching film probably doesn’t do it justice

17 - 16 Bills.
Josh does just enough in terrible conditions that favor Pittsburgh's excellent run game. But I worry about every team.
Excellent run game? lol y’all are pushing it they’ve got a pretty good run game as long as they can throw to keep the box light…teams that were able to stack the box absolutely demolished them. Their oline is not very good
really depends on what the weather actually ends up being but I’m gonna say 21-10 bills

I saw something online about the Chiefs game and the freezing cold that i haven’t seen before. Cardboard. Bring Cardboard.🤔
“The Chiefs will allow fans to bring in a piece of cardboard no larger that three feet tall and five feet wide to help keep their feet warm.
"Basically (the cardboard) it cuts down on the conduction," Shaffer said. "So it's not even so much the insulation part as it's just you're not in direct contact with the concrete."
Shaffer said when your boot or other footwear comes into contact with the cold concrete, it literally sucks the heat right out of the bottom of your feet.“
That’s brilliant…I had like 10 layers on for the bills pats wildcard game and everything was toasty except for my feet on that frozen concrete…had tons of socks on and hand warmers in my boots but it made no difference

Just now, Bleeding Bills Blue said:
Rudolph is currently averaging 7.7 yards after catch per completion which would be best in the league by a full yard. He's been propped up by a few long catch and runs. He isn't exactly slinging it, nor do i expect him to in poor weather.
Oh yea I don’t either that’s what I was trying to say…they’re getting lighter boxes because Rudolph has been hittin some throws. People are makin it sound like pit is playing smashmouth football and will run it on us easily even if we know it’s coming which is definitely not the case
Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Generic_Bills_Fan
No one has been watching pit and has any idea how they’ve been winning. If you can load up against the run against them they can’t do diddly..their running game can’t stand on its own. This move helps them more than us imo still the right thing to do though
