Success Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 7 minutes ago, Chaos said: 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. I saw a coach interviewed once - can't remember who it was - but he said the actual gameplan isn't some ongoing thing. They usually get it together in a few hours, and spend the rest of the week practicing for it. So, yeah - they get a bit more practice. But they also have to travel. It's not some huge advantage they'll have. And I'll take the trade-off as a fan. The shorter prep time wouldn't mean much if we lost a flukey game tomorrow. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two extra prep days is huge for top tier coaches like Reid. Yup because the players always get 1 day off per week and 1 day is a travel day. So how many days of practice extra does them team have. Yes coaches 8 players 6. Rest days for actual playing from last game Yes 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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” Incredibly stupid post if you live in WNY and experienced what happened here a year ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. heck, I can’t think of this ever happening They don't have lake effect weather. A Vikings game in 2010 was postponed due to snow in Minnesota. It actually happened in Buffalo just last year!

When the weather gets bad, at best they will just keep the major yardlines clear. Its impossible for them to have the field constantly fully cleared. Have you ever seen a bad snow game before?

stevewin Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) 47 minutes ago, Success said: 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. Not to mention Thurs night games. The day rest thing doesn't bother me at all - esp when the positives of moving to mon are taken into account. "We lose a day rest!" is the new "We are doomed if the weather is terrible!!"

I love that they think the Bills decided themselves to push the game back... not the County, State of NY, Goodell, the Steelers organization, etc... The winds out at the airport are 28-35mph, gusting to 50-55 this afternoon. It's not even safe for the Steelers plane to land here...that would be a terrifying attempt. They canceled it until later Sunday afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcam2012 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This is great news for the Bills. A likely much milder weather environment is a prayer answered from the football gods.

BigAl2526 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The one thing I don't like about the decision is the short week it will give the Bills to prep for the division round assuming they beat Pittsburgh. Buffalo's potential opponents next weekend all play today. The fact that Buffalo's opponent next weekend will have played their wild card weekend game today (Saturday) makes it even worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
