Just reiterating how much this situation sucks. If we play the game Sunday, it's not going to be fun to watch(well, speaking for myself) when you can't see the field or tell what is going on. On the flip side, if we move the game, we lose the home field advantage and that is something the team worked hard for. I feel like the best bet would be to move it to Monday, but for some reason it seems like that is not an option and I don't get it.

Hochul issued a SOE but the game is staying in Buffalo? Come on! If it's going to be that bad, I would say move it or postpone it.

This is the only thing keeping me off the ledge right now.

Yeah, I think it's mostly this week that is the problem, but when it comes to bad weather for the remaining AFC teams, we get the worst of it for sure. If we lose this one, I am seriously going to wonder and worry about how this changes the team dynamic. Will they even want to try for home field anymore? Will some of the players not want to play for The Bills because of this? I mean, it sucks. It could derail us, and if you work really hard for something and it backfires, it's going to have some sort of impact on you. Where do you go from being a team that could, at the very least, give The Ravens a run for the money but bounced out for fluky reasons out of your control? If we lose, I am terrified of the consequences. It might not be locker room bickering, but aggravation for playing in this market 😑

I wish. Is it wrong that I wish Hochul would call it already?

I actually almost mentioned that one too. It was 2019. The weather was sloppy and once the Eagles started piling it on, The Bills looked like they wanted to just get off the field.

Right? I feel like we might have been better off just going back to Miami this week. This SUCKS! There is no other way around it. The sheer amount of Bills fans I see excited about this is so puzzling to me. WHY? This does nothing for us. If we lose our passing game, how is that exciting? I had people get mad at me on another site for even suggesting it might get moved. If our season comes to a crashing halt on Sunday, it won't be because the better team won, it will be because the weather made it impossible.

Same! The next update will be "hell", if it isn't already.

I am so conflicted on The Bills potentially moving the game to Cleveland. I know right now it's a rumor, but I believe if the weather event is upgraded to blizzard or a safety hazard it might? Anyway, I want our offense to be able to shine, but one plus would be Mason not being able to air it out to Pickens or Dionte, something I have noticed him doing the past few games I have watched. Plus, our D is a little banged up. I think our D is at a possible advantage, but our offense not so much.

That game was amazing. It was very cold, but there was no wind. I feel like The Bills tend to be sloppy in snow, but then again, snow is sloppy. I am hoping they can come out like The Bengals did in the divisional last year, but again, I don't think wind was a huge factor in that game.

This will be my last comment on this, because it's going in circles. I am not lapping up a narrative! I sensed and commented about this LAST February after the AFCCG when he started liking posts that were building Joe Burrow up to tear Josh down. That is when I started to notice. The media wasn't even commenting on it at the time. Stefon did his little press run during the SB and again showed no love to Josh, where in years past he did. Again, I started to notice this stuff before the press and narratives from the press started to surface.

I would be feeling a hell of a lot better if it was a warm weather team. I think the Texans would be in shock. I don't think Pittsburgh has as crazy weather, but they are a tough team, with their defense and run game. I am not saying I think this will be a day in the park for them either, but I do think it evens the playing field, and this game will come down to mistakes and who makes the least.

Yeah, like I haven't seen this! Or any of the other clips of them "getting along". I already stated their "work relationship" is doing better these days than their "personal friendship", but winning cures all and losing brings out other things. Again, if we lose, this week? Next week? Don't make it to the big dance? You will see. For me personally, I have seen enough to know how it will go. Roll your eyes all you want, but after Stefon had to sit there and answer questions to the media about his brothers comments, his brother proceeded to do it again a few weeks later. They are close, super close, no doubt if Stefon disapproved of him saying those things, he would continue to do that. It speaks volumes. I am not sticking my head in the sand over this 🙄

For me personally, it's knowing how much the players hate it(which is understandable, I don't think any like it). Jordan Poyer HATES the cold. He gets miserable when October comes around. Josh has talked at length about how he loses feelings in his fingers and toes(I relate!! Might be a raynauds thing). We have not had too many snow games that I can recall in the JA era, but I am thinking of some of the sloppy weather games in the past and how they went. 2021 Ravens Divisional game-it wasn't the best. The wind was strong and made life difficult for the offense. I think Josh had some almost passes to Diggs, but they sailed. Taron Johnson's pick six was a game changer. 2021 game against Colts. It was windy and a lot of sleet. Bills could not get anything going on offense. I think Bass missed some field goals. We got blown out. 2021 Wind storm game-Little to no offense. When he finally started to throw the ball it was too late. 2021 Falcons game. Sloppy weather. Sloppy turnovers. Cole Beasley was our saving grace in this one. Josh had some great runs. Was a struggle up till that point. The bad weather game against Cleveland was moved to Detroit, so no comment. Divisional game against Bengals last year? Sloppy. Poor footing on The Bills side. So yeah, hard for me to get excited about this game that will have even worse inclements. The Bills have done better in bad weather games, like rain ones against Philly and Dallas, so I am hoping maybe this time around the heavy snow won't hinder them too badly, but it's hard to get my hopes up with their history.

I love his competitiveness and how passionate he is. Those are things I appreciate about him, but I do agree that may be difficult, and I say this as someone who defended him left and right when he came here, especially to the Vikings fans who were like "just you wait". Well, last off season was pretty damn eye opening, and I never thought he would semi turn on Josh. The Maddy Glabb thing was also eye opening, but she got the brunt of it, and what made that whole situation even more eye opening was that it was caught on tape. It wasn't like it was something she just said for the world to hear, it was something(though reckless) she said in what she thought was private. So, I realize and semi accept that there is some good and some bad with him, but I hate what happens when things don't go his way. I don't think he and Josh survive another bout like that, and them not getting along on a personal level will continue to hinder their play together. People can get mad or annoyed all they want with me over these comments, but I am seeing the patterns with him and I don't want to be in denial about all of this.

Sometimes it's what he says, or doesn't say, or what he skates around. I remember him liking shady posts about Josh right after our season ended, and it was a lot of cryptic stuff after that. They did not speak in the off season. It was noted by some pundits. Josh flat out admitted they had a falling out but that they patched it up during training camp. Whatever it is still lingers, and I am not going to sit here and pretend or even allow myself to pretend things are awesome between the two. Stefs brother downright shades Josh while the season is still ongoing, and Stefon allows it. He(his brother) is essentially his mouthpiece and says what he might feel he can't right now. FWIW Gabe Davis's mother has been doing the same exact thing. Again, I know this will be met with some eyerolls and whatever, and I do love Stef the player and often the person, but I don't completely trust him. I have a feeling that is where Josh is at with him. I am fairly certain of how he will react on Social Media if our season ends, especially if it ends this Sunday. It won't be pretty, and his true colors will come out even louder as he is barely containing them right now. Maybe they are "locker room family" which is fine, but at one point I do believe they were very close. I don't sense that anymore.

His press conference was a little better than the quote, I think? I feel like he is pretty much implying he and Josh aren't close. If anyone else watches it, please let me know what you think. I listened to the press conference and felt a little better, but I definitely sense/am getting that he and Josh aren't really friends anymore. Bums me out a little, but I think they are cordial and know what's at stake.

Yeah, getting tired of the shade and digs he keeps making at his QB and possibly OC. Somehow some Bills fans that don't see through this will spin this as "see, he really does love Buffalo!!" If we lose this week, or next, or don't make it to the SB, mark my words, he will be very active on SM. It will be a long off season with him and his brother.

Awesome. Just keeps getting better and better 👎

I knew the minute a "snow storm" was suggested a few days ago, that it would keep getting worse and worse each passing day, and it has. I am so sad, and so defeated by this, that I did not even ask my boss if I could go to work early on Sunday so I could get out early(something I usually do). I will see the 2nd half, but I just don't have the patience/mental stability/whatever for this. It has made me officially grumpy and angry at the world, because the terrible luck for this team continues. We won't be able to watch our star QB shine. I don't know if passing the ball will be an option at all. The game will be flukey AF and I can easily see us being on the wrong end of that, even though I know we are way more talented. I don't know if it's worth it to try for home field anymore. If we lose this one, I am thinking no! I almost wish we lost in Miami now and feel like we are now being punished. Before anyone makes angry faces at me or eye rolling emojis, I don't think this game means a "loss" for us. I realize both teams have to play in this garbage. I just know it will hinder us in a lot of ways, and I hate that. I feel like the team worked really hard to get to where they are now and I hate that something like this could derail the team, especially since in the Josh era, this might be our last season with a lot of the guys on this team before a mini rebuild.

I would trade with KC in a heartbeat!! We had weather like that for the WC Pats game, and look how we did? The wind is always the issue, and swirling snow is not going to help. I know extreme cold temps are dangerous, but you can prepare for that. I fear the weather we are getting might derail our team, and honestly, derail free agents from wanting to come here. If we lose, we literally do not have home field advantage.

I'm rarely scared of any other team. The Bills are the team that scares me 😄If this game was in better conditions I think The Bills would wipe the floor with them. The weather makes it a little more complicated. Hoping we can get our run game going.

I was going by the Don Paul podcast someone linked here. Yeah, it could be Sean's get out of jail free card. It also just makes me sad, if we lose this and sense it was because of the weather(like the first Pats game of 2021) because then we have to wonder if working so hard to get "home field advantage" is worth it. I don't blame the crappy weather in the divisional game last year, but I don't think it helped. Do they keep trying for home field and hope there will be a year where the weather isn't god awful? Don't get me wrong, it's January, it's Buffalo. I get that, it's just that it's not going to be just bitterly cold, or just windy, or just snowy, it's all of the above. It's a lot.

Yeah, I feel like, at the very least, it neuters The Bills more than it does them and puts them at borderline equal playing field. I think The Bills are no doubt more talented, but I feel like they have a better run game. I don't think we will see a lot of passing in this game. We cannot make any mistakes. No turnovers. It would be devastating I think. I doubt field goals will even be a thing. If we lose this one, I am not sure I ever want homefield "advantage" again. I am almost wondering if we would have been better off losing in Miami and playing on the road. I hate saying that because I usually like the comfort of home, but our offense cannot air it out in this type of weather.
