Soft soft soft. Can’t build a persona as a cold weather team when you’re too scared to play in the cold weather. Taskers hype vid from last year is going to have to be changed from “it’s gonna be cold” to “as long as it’s mild” 

oh, it’ll still be cold on Monday… as well as next Sunday…

I think they should move the divisional game to London. Fly the Chiefs in early to get acclimated and then fly the Bills in late.  You know, all in realm of experimentation to see if the playoffs can be played internationally in the future.

I know we haven't made it easy on ourselves this season. Putting ourselves into a position that we needed to win out the last 5 games to get in. Then we have the Von Miller situation, the Tyler Dunne article and now dealing with this and having the game moved for the playoffs. Nothing is ever easy for this team. It's insane

if we get the storm expected, i dont see how we play Monday either.

As we all know, its not like the day after a snowstorm is guaranteed to be better than the day it occurs.
The roads will still be snow covered, stadium full of snow, Gonna be tough for everyone to reach the place after the expected comes.

I dont disagree with their decision necessarily, if anything they likely shouldve moved the game UP to today yesterday, knowing this was a possibility

Oh well, GO BILLS

I was surprised it wasn't going to be Monday night to give more time for prep

Listening to the Miami fans whining on Twitter is something. They really don’t understand the difference between “it is cold” and “there is a travel ban?” The Bills game isn’t postponed because of the temperature. It’ll be colder Monday. It is postponed to keep emergency response clear.

I'm flabbergasted that anyone here thinks this is a bad thing.

 

Aside from it just being safer for fans & players - this just doubled our chances of winning.  Tomorrow has potential to be even worse conditions than the Pats wind game.  Basically, a game of chance.

 

As for "less rest," it's no different from having a MNF game in the regular season.

 

Except that our opponents play on Saturday and get and 2 more days rest.

 

That's a 40% rest advantage!

They could easily avoided their problems, if they didn’t meltdown and give the division away!

430 on a Monday just seems like a weird awkward time to have the game played… Why not just make it 830 so it feels like a Monday night football night and people have time to get out of work and head to the game…. I’m gonna be pissed if there’s only a couple inches of snow up there tomorrow at 1 o’clock and the game coulda been played…

Others are mad but i’m elated! If the weather will be any better, I think that favors us.

Pretty much where I am. All things considered I would have preferred a clean game at 1 pm Sunday.

 

That isn't an option. The choice was playing through a flukey whiteout squall which is the kind of variance the Steelers would need for an upset, going to a neutral site at the last minute or waiting 28 hours. Of those options I like the last best

My friends are saying we’re cowards for moving it to Monday. We have less time to prepare for next week. We’re an embarrassment. Etc…. One said he’s not going to watch now. 
 

I love the Bills and our fans but man some people have such selected rage and overreactions it’s embarrassing. 

It's more a lack of comprehension to actually understand the what and why of the situation.

No offense, but stuff like this is just f-ing stupid.

TV networks would disagree ;) They want just ONE playoff game at a time. They could have put it at 5PM though. Anyway, it is what it is. GO BILLS

How many times must it take morons to understand, it's about getting to and from the game.

Fantastic news assuming the weather will be better. 
 

Playing tomorrow would have been a carnival game where whoever gets the ball to bounce the right way wins. Reminder: the “blue collar Buffalo tough” thing is a figment of some boomers’ imagination. Josh is from California. No one likes to play in god awful weather and it loses any semblance of skill-based result. 
 

oh and should be safer for fans, if that’s your thing. 

 

It's his experience playing in cold and snow that helps. Not where he grew up. Did you forget where he played in college?

Cause the Bucs and Eagles are playing then, they would never have two playoff game running simultaneously.

They’ll play on Sunday next week, it’s business as usual. Not a worry. 

If the Chiefs win, they will have 8 days rest next sunday, the Bills will have 6. Two extra prep days is huge for top tier coaches like Reid.

Has a game ever been delayed in Detroit? Minnesota? Nope.

 

heck, I can’t think of this ever happening


You mean those places that have their stadiums centrally located with transit options and not located in the middle of nowhere only accessible by car?

Jesus people.  Last Saturday I got stuck in that stupid East Coast storm coming back to Rochester and it took me three hours to drive from Princeton to Stroudsburg before I finally called it and got a motel room to ride it out.  And I wasn’t dealing with 70,000 drunk fans either.  ***** happens.  Blame the league for scheduling us on Sunday when they knew by the end of last Sunday night that this was most likely coming.

Go run around in your driveway tomorrow, before clearing it, full effort on and off for 3 hours.  During your 5-10 minute breaks between each instance sit on your stairs.  See how you feel the next few days.


Before clearing it? How is that analogous to a field that’s constantly being cleared?

Legit question - have they ever had 18-24 inches of snow and 50mph wind gust forecasted during one of their games?

No I would just play the Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers game Monday but with one difference no fans. Same way the Buffalo Sabres vs Vancouver Canucks game no fans. No reason for the Buffalo fans to go watch the games at home issue a refund in my opinion. Go Bills! Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

It’s gonna feel like that weird Kansas City game we had up here a few years back in the rain when it started at 530 on a Thursday if I’m not mistaken

To clarify I was referring to the wild card game being moved to Tuesday and thus having a divisional round game on a Monday
