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.

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.

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


would be hard in Detroit and Minny with their Domes 🤪

RG III is a terrible commentator.

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” 

Incredibly stupid post if you live in WNY and experienced what happened here a year ago.

Haven’t read through this thread, but express your opinion on moving the game to Monday, guaranteeing the Bills next opponent has a full two days extra rest next weekend, no matter what.

The old timer seem to not recall a governor getting so involved in the Bills business..

Has a game ever been delayed in Detroit? Minnesota? 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! There are several other examples, and even more for hurricanes.

What weather are you looking at?

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/2e94f34c79f75a14f51529430e0841d97fa7411d7f7324c40f6360a241a51dce
 

if you total the high ranges here for both Saturday through Sunday night it’s only 12” over a 48 hour period.

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

 

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?

Just checking some of the thoughts of Steelers fans online - they're melting down and saying we're scared of their run game because we want to play in better weather.

 

But doesn't that mean that they're scared of our pass game?

Not a damn thing.  He been talking about this all week and I even tweeted back at him the temp indicators in a few hot Miami games and he didnt say a word.  Many other people did too.  Not a word.

chiefs play tonight.  The players don't play a game on sun, monday, tues, wed, thursday, friday, saturday = 7 days between games
Bills play monday.  The players don't have a game tue, wed, thur, fri, sat = 5 days between games.   There is no gettting around it, this is a big advantage to the chiefs

Seriously?  Will have to see if McDermott and rest of league start shutting him down now that there are 3 games on film.  
 

I see a more Duck Hodges and Tommy Maddox than Big Ben  career here.  

 

Unless they draft someone else.  

 

You see Pickett being the one?  He's been Neil O'Donnell like two seasons in.  

 

Trubisky's a verifiable backup.

Yes. Steelers fans wanted a blizzard. I work with one, he said their only chance is if the weather is bad.

Dolphins at Chiefs should also be moved.

 

Two days rest for an opponent in the playoffs is an unfair advantage never seen in the NFL before. 

 

We're cursed af.

you mean the Browns-Texans game should be moved ;)

 

Dolphins are gonna win that game tonite.
