[Wild card round - Steelers @ Bills - 2nd half game thread]

OMG this is going from bad to worse

[Wild card round - Steelers @ Bills - 1st half game thread]

Wow.  This is not looking good

[What's your confidence level going into the game today?]

I'm getting very nervous and feel like I want to throw up.  I think we will probably win, but sense that it will be way too close for comfort.

The Rams are actually starting to annoy me with how bad their defense is right now.

Big difference between the Bills and the Flacco led browns and the cowgirls. 
geez you guys. Relax. The Bills are a good playoff team with the exception of last year which we all know carried  a lot of baggage. I’m not guaranteeing a win I’m just saying that those games have nothing to do with this Bills team. Battle tested. Playoff experienced. Win in different ways (ST, pass, run, defence)

I agree, but assuming we win tomorrow, we are at a rest and recovery disadvantage against the Chiefs.  Little things like that can move the needle

All right. Cleveland is down. Let’s  hope THIS Texans team can show up in Baltimore next week and knock them off for us. 

Houston could knock us off the way they are playing!!!!

Singletary never once did that for us!

Well that wasn't a great start

So by this logic, every team coming off a bye or mini-bye should be favored in any game.

 

That isn't how it works.

This is the playoffs, elimination is at stake.  They should endeavor to keep things as equal so possible

It's a massive advantage for the Chiefs/Texans/Browns. Unprecedented, actually.

 

Any one of those three teams will likely be favored next weekend.

Yup, they will have a 40% rest advantage

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!

The Bills have been prepping for possible opponents the moment the playoff field was known.  Probably before then.

Agreed, but I'm talking about the physical rest and recovery disadvantage.

[Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm]

This is bad.  We will be playing a team next week (assuming we win) that played on Saturday.  They will have a 2 day rest and prep advantage over us.

[Fish FANS think it's unsafe to play in the cold....ironic?]

They would only have the right to complain if KC used a weather machine to focus all the snow and wind on the Fish sideline. 

Agreed.

 

I think teams should be allowed to bring whatever equipment they need for player comfort and safety on the sideline.  For for Buffalo, this would mean we could bring sun shades and water misters when we play in Miami in September.  For Miami, they can bring seat heaters and whatever they need to stay warm on the sideline in cold weather games.

 

Beyond that, everything should be equal on the actual playing field and the weather or elements will affect both team equally and indiscriminately.  I really don't know why the NFL hasn't evolved their sideline equipment policy because there are certainly VERY LEGITIMTE player safety concerns.  The Bills playing in 112 degree heat in Miami isn't safe- just as it wouldn't be safe to stand around in -25 windchill for the Miami and Chiefs players this weekend.

Baltimore isn't battle tested like we are. This is the year to win the AFC if there was one. Have to see how this years script plays out.

 

I don't know man.  Hasn't Baltimore played the most playoff teams (and has the best record against them) this year?  If anything is going to derail them, it will be that their starters ended up with 2 weeks rest and come out of the gate slowly.

Like epilepsy?  Does that mean epileptics should quit having epilepsy and avoid relapses and they can just not have seizers?

 

No, no one actually thinks that.  It's not the same as a disease, is it?

It's recognized as a disease by doctors, governmental bodies, etc.

I used to dream of the day that both Brady and Belichick were gone from the *Patriots. Now that it has happened it seems a bit anticlimactic. But I raise a glass anyway and say, “Ding ***** the wicked witch is dead.”
 

 

Agreed, but why are we censoring "*****"?  Nothing wrong with onomatopoeia!

All of the others teams boards I've been to are the same. I haven't been to anywhere near all of them though, so could be a decent setup somewhere 

I lurk on our weekly opponents message boards and most are unreadable trash as far as formatting and ads are concerned- notably Planet Chiefs, Jet Nation and the worst... Fin Heaven.

 

On the flip side Pats Pan Forum is pretty decent (and seems like a good community) as is the Ravens message board (Russ Street Report or something like that).

 

TBD is the best though!

[Browns hosting QB Joe Flacco for workout]

12 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said:

 

Not for nothing, Flacco is the 2nd greatest playoff QB I've ever seen, behind Brady. 

Hopefully #3 after JA (hopefully) hoists the Lombardi next month.

 

Edit:

 

#4 because Kurt Warner was also incredible.  He might actually be better than Brady in the ppayoffs if you consider the comparison between two QBs and not the teams and coaches behind them.  Brady obviously has sustained success and is the goat, but for one playoff game, I'd have to think hard about not picking Warner

I’m very happy he and his family are safe and appreciate the good sentiment  but I absolutely would not donate anything in favor of this guy. He’s trash of a human. Want me not be biased? I wouldn’t donate for Von miller either 

Well that. Plus he's got insurance.

 

I just think the narrative would be interesting... Bills Mafia supports Tyreek Hill before key AFCE battle.
