HappyDays Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Quote Wait… so you think on a equal playing field, the Steelers stand a better chance at beating us? We won’t have Gabe, for whatever that’s worth.. and we’ll see about Douglas, but the Steelers weakness, especially without Watt, is defending a passing attack down the field. Yeah and I recognize I'm in the minority opinion on this one. But recently the only reason the Steelers offense has done anything is because they could launch the ball downfield to Pickens. People have already forgotten that the Steelers were arguably the worst offense in football until that element became part of their game. In windy snowy conditions I thought we would easily shut them down, meanwhile our own passing offense would be handicapped somewhat but not completely shut down. I thought all in all it gave us a big advantage, contrary to popular opinion. So from my perspective we've now lost an advantage over our wildcard opponent and gained a disadvantage over our divisional opponent.

Offside Number 76 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just now, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: I wonder how this affects Pitt travel plans? Did they already leave for Buffalo, I'd guess not. Will they now stay home till Sunday, but then risk having a hard time getting to Buffalo, or will they fly in Monday morning? That creates an unusual travel plan which could mess with them. Do they fly? I know, for example, that the Giants take busses to Philly and a train to Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something always happens. Its a wash IMO. Playing in the kind of weather coming takes way more toll on the body and there would have been a lot more fatigue.

Warriorspikes51 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 6 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I didn't say I disagreed with the decision. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm just annoyed that now the presumed outcome is we get the Chiefs on 8 days of rest and preparation while we get 6 days. That would of course happen the one time we finally get them in our stadium. Chiefs luck never runs out, just sick of it is all. well considering the temps KC is playing in, they will feel that in their bones for 2 days It may kind of even out. If that happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is great but he has really come on the last three games, and I just have the worst feeling when teams decide to really stick to a run game against us (which bad weather would force). Especially a tough team that doesn't mind having that be their identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the pit analysis part but really bad weather certainly could add some randomness if there’s a fumble or shanked punt or something. They definitely had to move the game too so competitive advantage is not something we really have control over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just now, Einstein said: But think of it this way. It gives us a better chance to advance to the next playoff game, by allowing us to run our normal offense. People don't understand the extra fatigue that players would have had playing in that stuff. It takes a huge toll trying to run around in all that snow and stuff. It's not like the fields would be cleared all game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday weather would have been too much of an equalizer. Monday weather much better. Colder but light winds. 2. Extra 27 hours might help TDod and Rasul. 3. Steelers screwed on travel-either they’re already here (for two nights in the Adam’s Mark) or they have to travel Monday AM.

FTLBillsfan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 34 minutes ago, BillsGuyOutWest said: If you preferred the Bills play in a snowy windstorm, after watching that ridiculous Mac Jones 3 pass game, in a situation where again the biggest mismatch is your offense compared to the opponent’s offense, with the entire season on the line, you are an idiot full stop. An extra day of rest is nice, but it’s not a bye week and the opponent is the one who has to deal with travel while the Bills rest up in their homes. That is the first thing I thought about when I saw the weather reports, The Pats game. Don't want a repeat of that. Stay safe up there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in the kind of weather coming takes way more toll on the body and there would have been a lot more fatigue. Not sure I buy this. There is a competitive edge that appears when the rest differential is at least 3 days. The Bills will be at a two day deficit. So there is that.
