This team isn’t limping in. They have experience in the latest scenario (high winds, snow, physically tough AFC North opponent, etc.). They’re as prepared as you possibly can be. 

That's really yet to be determined. Your opinion is duely noted but it's just that.

Yeah our local media is blissfully unaware of what @HappyDays has reported and is just going day by day checking to see if these guys practice.

 

They've turned every show into breakdowns on the weather and whether or not the Steelers fans will travel well.

 

Meanwhile we have 8 guys not practicing for this game. 

so by 8 you mean 5 (from yesterday) of which 2 were vet rest days?  just cause they werent seen during media portion doesnt mean they aint practicing.

It's the opposite side of the ball that hurts. The wind can negatively effect the Bills passing game. That's where they have a clear advantage over Pitt. 

 

Do you really want the game to come down to a running game vs Pitt? I don't. They have been on a tear running the ball and it's not like the Bills have been consistent stopping it. D Jones will help though. 

 

IMHO, a clear weather game with minimal wind would be ideal. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen. 

They didn't limp in. They went on a winning straight similar to this year. 

 

Allen threw the ball pretty well in the wind game against the Pats...the one where Little Mac only threw 3 passes.

Players from last year stated as such, that they needed the bye (1 seed). They were gassed, limped in.

 

Allen said this year they’re peaking at the right time. 
 

Game play supports what the players have said.
 

They know more than you.

Sounds like Gabe is out.
 

 

If a sprained ankle in Week 2 was still being mentioned as the reason for his down year, then I had no reason to believe he’d be ready to go from a PCL in one week.

 

Sorry Gabe, nobody bought the sprained ankle excuse last year, and this year the numbers and efficiency are even lower and you’ve been healthy all year. 
 

Get told how hard of a worker he is, 2 weeks after the season is over he’s taking shirtless pics and he’s got a beer belly and 0 definition.

The players said all of that after they lost to Cinci. There was no such talk of that prior to the game. If so, go ahead and give me evidence of such. 

 

In fact, one could argue the opposite narrative. The Bills were a team of destiny due to Damar making a miraculous recovery. Win it all for Damar was a common theme. It's destiny and fate wasn't uncommon to hear. 

 

Bills playing at home!!! Huge home field advantage. Bengals oline depleted. Bills gonna smash Burrow. There was no fuc!!!!! talking of limping prior to the game. 

 

There was no talk of being gassed even after the Miami playoff win. Listen to Allen and the rest of the Bills afterwards. They talked about being resilient, winning is all that counts, and playing better.

 

Not one Bills fan I know said the team looked gassed. They don't have anything in the tank. The season is basically over they are on fumes. Instead, it was a resounding theme of how the Bills were gonna smash the Bengals. A few dissenters caught hell for their differing view. Low and behold is that a common theme. 

 

Let's talk reality rather than an alternate reality that fits your views. The limping in shiiiiit is non sense. They just get beat by a better prepared team that is a bad match up for Buffalo. Not to mention the McD game plan was horrific. 

 

Who knows what happens in Sunday. I hope to the high heaven the Bills blowout the Steelers. If not, I'll take a win ugly. Just win!!!

They had one last year vs the Bengals. 

Luckily 17 kicked that playoff wrecker to the curb so he won’t be up at 2am with cops and a psycho in heels the night before the game.

A part of me wants the game moved.

 

I don’t think really cold weather is an advantage anymore. 

 

We have to make it an advantage.

 

Our team is in Buffalo.  They'll likely make the playoffs often with Allen, and will be playing a lot of games in January in the years ahead.   Weather is likely to be a big factor in many of those.

 

The team can embrace crazy weather, as they did w/ the frigid playoff game against the Pats - or fold in it, as they did against Cincy last year.

 

I think Beane has taken steps since that game to make the team more physical, and more versatile.  We can block & run w/ the best of them now.  And we have a tank of a QB who can make things happen in any conditions.  We probably would have won that Pats wind game if they just let him sling it the whole game.
