I think that is a valid concern. But given the weather I’m more concerned with winning this game. Moving to Monday hopefully brings some of their talent advantage into the mix again.

Think they are missing the safety component for fans and workers. The new stadium is not below the ground and has some fan cover. Likely this will mitigate the insane swirls that exist at the Ralph/Highmark. It’s about the potential disaster of 70,000 traveling in this. Watt and Steeler fans were and are hoping for the worst possible conditions knowing that helps them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’ll at least give us a Sunday game but it’s ok we’re the bills and if this is our year we’ll find a way They wouldn't really be able to plan because they won't know for sure who they are playing until after the game on Monday. But it does give them 2 extra days go rest and heal up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The league could have shown a little foresight. Buffalo is the NFL City most likely to have weather that could force the postponement or relocation of a game. Knowing that, the league could have scheduled Buffalo-Pittsburgh on a Saturday. That way, if weather forced a postponement, they could still have played on a Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trubisky's a verifiable backup. Lots of FA QBs and they could afford to sign one as little $$ invested in QBs now. Cousins would fit there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but overall the move to move the game to Monday is a huge win for Buffalo. Pitt is the only game that counts. This move makes our offense more functional and dangerous. It gives back a huge edge to the Bills. If the Bills played on Sunday the Steelers chances would have increased on game script alone. I think the Bills team is pretty resilient. They should be able to handle one day less of rest. I think we fans and players have been salivating to play KC in a home game. They should be ready to play regardless of a day less rest no matter the opponent. I think the only real derailment would be an injury to a key player.

The Minnesota game had already been rescheduled for the following day before the roof collapsed. (when they got 15" of snow, not the 2-3' expected in Buffalo). Then it was moved to another location after the roof collapsed. Take your dome and gub'ment nonsense the same place the other guy is taking his political nonsense. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Whatever happens from this point on...I blame Miami. If they didn't trot out a noodle armed QB that has zero clutch gene and they were able to handle business at home and win the division both the Dolphins and Bills would be playing in warmer Florida. And I would be there having fun in the sun all week. Now I'm stuck home and have to shovel snow tomorrow. Seriously, EFF the Fins.

BRH Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The Steelers are now flying in tomorrow night, arriving at 7 pm.

Many grasp it, then again acknowledging it would impede an agenda. I hoped that the Bills would build a dome, but they didn't. Great, still can't wait to get to the new stadium. All this crazy stuff about the game being postponed has happened. Great, I'll watch the Bills Monday. Now it's all about the unfair advantage. If the Bills win, great. They just will have to suck it up and win the following Sunday. I have a lot of family back in the Buffalo area. I hope they all stay safe, even though I wanted the game to be played on Sunday. It's not going to happen now, so it's no big deal. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 And anyway, it's my son's 21st birthday on Monday and when the game got moved, his amazing big sister and her friends chipped in and bought him a ticket to go with them. (They weren't going to deal with tomorrow's weather.) They asked if I wanted to go with them. Nah, I've paid my dues -- I was at the first Houston playoff game on New Year's Day and the AFCCG against KC -- and I'm perfectly happy to watch this one from the warmth of my home in front of a big TV. But I'm stoked that my son gets to experience this on his birthday. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
