Pete Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 4 hours ago, Warriorspikes51 said: IF we advance, the following results seem to be the best outcomes If KC Wins, we wanted CLE. Browns have best chance to win in Baltimore IMO. Mahomes again: less than ideal. Even if here. AFC Champ appearance vs CLE if we’re lucky If MIA Wins, we wanted HOU. Early forecast is more of the same later next week. Sean’s D against a rookie QB (as good as he seems) who I don’t think has ever played in anything close to this. AFC Champ appearance vs MIA if we’re lucky a LOT of IF’s obviously. Fun to think about though I expect Miami to be absolutely destroyed tomorrow Cleveland is the only team that scares me. That is a historic defense. Bring KC to Buffalo. I want KC 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) We’d have a much better advantage is this game moved to Indy. No one has an advantage playing in this muck, especially not a QB from California. The 10 point line might as well be 0. Or 50. As the skill of the players is damn near out the window. The idea of “buffalo blue collar bad weather team” is laughable in most cases anyway, but playing a team from the exact same geographical area makes it absurd.

UKBillFan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm not too fussed about the weather. It's just an excuse if things go wrong but the Bills have already shown they're capable of struggling this season even in decent conditions. Do the job; get out of there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Why not move the game. There isn't going to be a "game" in the traditional sense. Gonna be a Mickey Mouse contest of fun in the snow with no visibility on the field and mega winds. Anyone can win or lose a game like that; skill and talent just got sucked right out of the equation. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) 8 hours ago, Beck Water said: I dunno about peak, but the NOAA forcast calls for 32-37 mph winds possibly gusting "as high as 65". I would guess that number has an error bar which is where 60-75 might come from, but that would seem like the upper end of the upper end. Still, if I were a Steeler, I'd be wondering if a 3 hr bus drive to hotel near Highmark Stadium might be preferable to a bus to the airport, 1:15 flight, bus to hotel. I know what listed flight time says. But it’s 100% not an hour plus. I regularly fly Albany to JFK/EWR which is a super similar distance and it’s 25 minutes wheels up to wheels down and about 45 minutes gate to gate. And that’s commercial. These guys are chartering. Also, the Albany airport is maybe the worst airport in the country. Edited January 13 by Mango 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at families house in Amherst having a cup of coffee with my uncle at like 7am. I was facing the window. The thermometer outside said it was like 40 degrees. It was rainy by no wind. Then in the snap of a finger everything turned white. Trees were blowing sideways. And the temp immediately dropped like 20 degrees. I looked at him and said “I gotta go” (my inlaws were in Syracuse). I’m already packed and out the door in 5 minutes. The roads were already a disaster. I’m on the 90 in short order doing 30 in 4 drive listening to people call in on the radio saying they were on the 90 heading the same way going 15. They must have gotten on after me.

PBF81 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 38 minutes ago, CSBill said: Thanks, Nuccie. That is better than some of the ominous scenarios I've read in this thread. I hope it holds. It sounds like the real snow is supposed to start happening early this evening. At least the Steelers will be here so the game can be played one way or another. The amount of snow forecast, 1-2 ft., isn't unmanageable although it'll make parking a PITA and who knows what they'll do with it inside the stadium. Last season's Miami game had unremoved snow, but not that much of it. I thought that was about the limit. Not sure how much turnout they're going to get for $20/hour to shovel in those horrific conditions in sub-zero windchills, at night too. If I were younger I might do it for $20/hr, a place to sleep, free food, and club level tix. Anyone know if there are any live cams near the stadium? You'd think they'd have one, they're not expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmd07 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If we lost this game because of wind/snow it will be just another historic Bills curse on big games. But I keep telling myself they have to play in it too. If Rudolph pulls this out we dont belong. On the positive side a friend in Colorado saw Josh play a few times in Wyoming. Wind snow games and Josh was the best player on the filed and won games with his legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd have one, they're not expensive. The other issue with getting people to shovel is the fact that snow won’t be done at that time. Typically they are shoveling out the stadium after a storm. This will be in the middle of it. I’m not bothering driving out in the snow for a one off $20 hr gig.

Checked the board and most flights into BUF today are already cancelled. Except a few Delta and an American. But those will probably be cancelled later. No airline wants their planes stuck here. It will be tough to land for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
