Talking talent.  No one whatsoever is saying Pitt is the better team talentwise.  Of course it can happen and the Bills are the beneficiary.

 

And same too "on any given Sunday", Pitt can beat Buffalo, however I 100% guarantee that if Buffalo loses Sunday, the blame will be due to the weather.


I agree fans will blame the weather.  But the fact is, if the Bills lose, it will be because Pittsburgh made more plays. Just like with the New England wind game, if the Bills could stop the run in that game, they would have won. As it is, they could not and lost.

Double is the important # and doesn't include Canada and 6.7 million in Toronto Metropolitan area

I don't know what a city in another country two hours away has to do with anything. I guess we have to consider Chicago when talking about Indianapolis then.

And the next two games vs. NE, Buffalo proved 100% just how much better they were and the NE win was only due to the weather.  Geez, just proved my point.😉

Apparently the wind was blowing the Bills defenders into the secondary. Got it.

Winter Storm Watch in effect now from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning. Heavy lake effect snow with winds gusting as high as 65 mph. Travel will be difficult, may be impossible at times. Even if this game is playable, and fans can get to it safely (huge questions), it is sad that a playoff game will be impacted so negatively by the weather.

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.

Orchard Park NY is quite literally one of single worst locations for an outdoor stadium in the entire country. Spending $1.5B to build a new stadium and deciding to put it their is an immeasurable amount of dumb.

Wouldn't this be a Blizzard Warning?

This is shaping up to be a game that the NFL might really need to consider delaying or playing earlier.

 

Of course they likely won't, but it will be a bad decision if they don't 

Saturday will be colder but not as windy

Where's the best place to get up to date forecast information?  Was thinking about making the drive from Columbus, OH on Saturday afternoon with a return after the game.  Reading the board here and listening to WGR is making me feel like that's not a good idea...

It's going to get to a point where they can't play. Does it get moved to Monday night?
