It’s 6-1 half a dozen to me, we lose rest and prep time now (if we win) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fans for either team, plus a huge $$$ loss for the Bills. On the other hand I want to see Josh & Co. cook in ideal conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question whether snow and cold is any real advantage to us, especially against a fellow cold weather team. We are not a power offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would’ve been an interesting crowd. Steelers are a national fanbase and the Bills have a ton of fans within driving distance of Atlanta. We know Allen can throw in weather. We’ll see if Rudolph can. And an inside game would definitely allow them to target Dane Jackson if Douglas can’t go. And without Davis, the deep shots may have been limited, but Allen should have time without Watt out there. Anyway.. it’s not happening, and it seems we want it that way .. so just don’t complain about the lack of rest. Beat the Steelers and then beat the Chiefs at home. Nobody is going to care about any of this if an option was provided by the league for today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not a power offense. Oh I agree, but it is still an advantage to play at home vs a neutral site. I’ve always thought that weather as an advantage is overrated.

I just checked and the Rochester airport shows a lot of incoming flights scheduled normally. About 2 hour bus ride from there to Buffalo. Maybe that would be their plan.

Rockinon Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 KC's 2 extra day advantage is more like 1 when you consider travel. Only real advantage is time to rest. I'm sure as far as preparing for KC they can step up their timetable with meetings and practices. Hopefully we come out of the Steelers game healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
