Steelers fans are NOT happy.
They know the deal. They needed bad weather to have a chance.
It's still going to be bad weather. Just not horrendous weather.

The playoff schedule was determined less than a week ago. Seems like they could’ve checked the weather report.Plus the other game is in dome. It is not like it is two outdoor games in northeast and/or upper mid west. They had all the flexibility in the world.
I would think that Peacock was given the choice of which game they wanted, since they ponied up so much cash for the right to have this exclusive. And the Peacock game was always going to be Saturday night.
The NFL in general LOVES these games in bad weather. Makes for great TV, especially in places that don't really experience winter.

The frozen locusts will have the same impact as frozen iguanas. They will pour down from the sky, lowering visibility and rendering footing challenging. During periods of heavy locust precipitation, the trajectory of the ball during a pass or kick may be affected.
The helmet-wearing players on the field will not be impacted too much by the frozen locust fall, but coaches and players on the bench should consider protective headgear for the game.
I must admit I did not consider the possibility of frozen locusts falling from the sky. I only considered the possibility of the locusts flying into the stadium on their own.
Excellent point!

The locusts could also limit the passing game
Locusts are cold blooded. No chance at all that locusts affect this game. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, Kraken are all on the table. But no locusts.

HUH? The unknown. Driving with Lake affect all along 90 from Erie? maybe getting stuck or stuck without a hotel etc
With the weather emergency being declared, it's possible I-90 gets closed at some point.
If a tornado develops inside the stadium during the game, is that better for us or the Steelers?

Not really that huge losing a CB and WR in 150mph winds and 10 feet of snow.
Will this be the first NFL game ever played in the middle of a Cat 5 Hurricane?

I’ve heard a few QB’s like Tom Brady and Alex Smith say “when there’s snow, you throw”. because the receiver knows where he’s going, but the defender does not. This makes is harder to cut and recover for the DB.
Yes about the snow. But wind is different - it pushes the ball some place that the QB doesn't want it to go.

If you are just adding up weeks 12-18, then the Bills played one less game in that stretch. Pittsburgh had their Bye in Week 6 - the Bills in week 13

Najee Harris didn’t practice with a knee injury. Do we know anything about that?
I think he's missed a practice a week for a little while. I had Jaylen Warren on my fantasy team so I paid attention to Harris's status. At the moment I assume this is just continuing the pattern. If he misses Friday that would be a bigger deal.
-
I think there's also a psychological point to this. Benching him now would put some negative vibes into the o-line. He knows that the fumble was on him and so does everybody else. Let him overcome that with the help of his mates.

Everyone keeps quoting me asking if Armstead is out. I was quoting this poster’s 2nd paragraph stating that their best “O-line” is out. I’m Assuming that’s ArmsteadTerron Armstead does not have an injury designation for the game. He was Full Practice on Friday.
Same for Liam Eichenberg (Center) and Robert Hunt (Guard) and Austin Jackson (OT)
Tyreek Hill was also a Full Practice on Friday, although he was seen in a boot on Thursday at his home when dealing with the aftermath of the fire there.

There doesn’t need to be a violation of league policy for him to be nursing an injury and it not being reported.
“A reportable injury is considered any injury that causes a player to miss a game, prevents them from finishing a game, or prevents them from completing their normal practice workload.“
There have been plenty of times when a guy plays all year and gets surgery a week after the season ends. Then they mention it has been bothering him all year. Kair Elam was not on injury reports before being put on IR - they said the ankle was bothering him all season, not that it just suddenly happened in his last game.

Sorry but no sure how any list that doesn't include Steve Spagnola is credible.
You can argue he's the main reason the Chiefs have been able to win 2 championships and are fielding a historically good defense in KC this year that is more than good enough to carry them to another and why I would give pause to the idea the Chiefs aren't going to make it far this year in the playoffs between their offensive struggles and having to go on the road for the first time in Mahomes career.
A true perfect match type of hire when the Chiefs made that move after 2018 season.
The list is basically the rating given by the players that are under that coordinator on a score of 1 to 10. You don't rate other team's coordinators, only your own. If you hate your coordinator you give him a low score.
Also, don't know how many players might have thought "my guy is #1 in my book" and chose the wrong answer.

They only show the top 5 among Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. No Bills among this list.
Top 5 Defensive Coordinators
Aaron Glenn - Detroit Lions
Steve Wilks - San Francisco 49ers
Dan Quinn - Dallas Cowboys
Brian Flores - Minnesota Vikings
Raheem Morris - Los Angeles RamsTop 5 Offensive Coordinators
Frank Smith - Miami Dolphins
Thomas Brown - Carolina Panthers
Brian Schottenheimer - Dallas Cowboys
Brian Callahan - Cincinnati Bengals
Kellen Moore - Los Angeles ChargersTop 5 Special Teams Coordinators
John Fassel - Dallas Cowboys
Chris Tabor - Carolina Panthers
Matt Daniels - Minnesota Vikings
Dave Fipp - Detroit Lions
Darren Rizzi - New Orleans Saints*The survey was administered online by Artemis Strategy Group during the NFLPA visits between August 28 and November 16, 2023. All NFL players were given the opportunity to take the survey. 864 offensive players rated their offensive coordinator, 774 defensive players rated their defensive coordinator and 1,025 who play on special teams rated their special teams coordinator.
With 53 players on the active roster for 32 teams, that would be a pool of 1,696 players. I don't know if players on IR or practice squads were included

If Diggs is hurt the Bills are about to get severe punishment for not reporting it.
No they won't. Injuries only need to be reported it it is likely to affect his availability for the game. Diggs has not been Questionable for these games - he was certain to play. Literally every starter in the league has some kind of painful issue at this point of the season. I remember a few years ago that one of the Bills O-linemen had to have his wife feed him during the week because he couldn't lift his hand to his lips. He was not on the injury report and he did not miss any games.

yeah… a bit of a surprise, no? Was he banged up?
Could be veteran rest for Linval. Obviously they must expect Jones to carry a heavy load today.

Pats are mostly worried about draft position if you read Boston papers. They are desperate to lose and hope Commodores beat SF. 😃
I'm pretty sure Bill Bellichick is not thinking the same way. For one thing he wants the record for wins. For another thing if he's not the coach of the Pats next year, what does he care what position they are drafting from?

It would not be McD’s style to use Lenny and bench Murray. I would be very surprised.
One point in favor of doing this would be that it gives Murray a week off before hitting the playoffs. Veteran guys like him could definitely appreciate a late bye week to get fresh for the playoffs.

I think he's hurt and gutting it out Bills are better off not announcing it and teams will continue to give him extra attention and hopefully other guys make the best of the opportunities
I think he has a rib injury. Any time he takes a hit he has to come off the field for a play or two. That's not like him.

BUT , they didn't😅 go look back at all super bowl winners, they are littered with these type of wins. Did i like it🤕 not at all but onward they go.
I started following the Bills in 1967. In 1968 they won only one game that year, over the NY Jets. At the end of that season, Joe Namath guaranteed a Super Bowl victory and delivered.

Chargers continue to clean house: Goodbye, Sebastian Joseph-Day
https://sports.yahoo.com/chargers-continue-clean-house-goodbye-192622074.html
He's second on the team in QB hits behind only Kahlil Mack. Also a team captain.
Strange timing.

When I watch the highlights of Cooks big runs I often see one or even two Cowboys shadowing Allen even after he handed off the ball. The Cowboys really were terrified of Allen and overcompensated big time to contain him.
Well if that's true, the Dallas D won't be nearly as concerned about Tua doing a keeper run

Kaiir’s game
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
On the play where he got run over, he was obviously willing. It takes some guts to stand there and get blasted by a bigger dude.
After the game in an interview, he said his feet were cold when he first went in from just standing around on the sideline. Until the INT he was clearly bad throughout his first drive. But at least from watching the TV, the only other time I can recall him on a play was on the INT that he dropped, and that wasn't an easy catch. Generally, a CB who doesn't get his name called must be doing something right.
He was quite below average in the early part of the season, which the Bills have attributed to his ankle injury (at least publicly). Hopefully he will have more to offer if called upon again during the playoffs.
