    Yeah, but if Josh thinks he can out throw 30mph winds and 43 gusts he needs to check his ego at the door. lol.  A frozen ball being thrown at 90mph to a guy 7 yards in front of him in snowfall/wind will not be real catchable.  

     

    This game will be all about who can play better D, run the ball more effectively and make a special teams play or two that hurts the other team.  Whichever teams gets more takeaways is likely to win. 

     

    In my opinion the better team going in, should still be the better team in a bad weather game.

     

     

     

     

    I’m hoping the weather isn’t as bad as predicted. I’m also not predicting a Bills loss either way. We have what it takes to win, I just don’t understand people pretending that Allen can throw the ball if the wind and snow is what they predict. No one is throwing into that type of wind. It’d be against the laws of physics. We shouldn’t lose this game, but be realistic about the type of game it might be.

    You guys realize that James Cook isn't the only one allowed to run the ball...right? That that unicorn of a QB we have that can run with the ball in his hands? Like Leonard Fournette? They are allowed to run as well. 

    Good point, but a running back vs running back game with no passing is still a toss up. Not exactly what you want with Josh Allen. I think people overvalue Fournette a bit. He’s a decent short yardage guy, but I’m not sure he’s going to be much better than any other RB #2. Fournette has a lot of miles on him.

    I'm hearing a lot about how the bad weather will be the great equalizer. But that bit of conventional wisdom applies more to high school & college football where the discrepancy in talent between two teams can be enormous.  But in the NFL playoffs how big is the difference in talent between the eventual SB champ and the worst PLAYOFF team?

     

    BOTH teams passing games will be impacted by the weather.  How do we know that considering all that Allen brings to the table compared to Rudolf that the bad weather might actually favor the Bills passing game?  Will the weathers impact on the Steeler's passing game allow McD to be much more aggressive with the run blitzes to shut the Pittsburgh rushing attack down?  These conditions might actually hurt the Steelers as much or more then the Bills.  Think about Pitt spending half the game setting up that play action strike to Pickens that in the past went 70 yards for a TD only to see the ball flutter into the ground before it reaches it's target.

     

    When a loaded Ohio State plays a bad Northwestern team awful weather can be a great equalizer and turn a 40 point Buckeye win into a 10 point win.  But I just don't see it having a big impact in the NFL.  BOTH teams will be negatively affected.

     

     

    I agree, but I think my fear isn’t the passing game being affected, it’s the passing game being completely eliminated. If we get blizzard conditions with 50mph wind gusts, no one is throwing the ball. It would be Cook vs Harris the entire game. Josh Allen is an all time great, but even he’s not throwing into 50mph wind gusts and a blizzard.

    Or you know, our QB turns it over every time we're within striking distance of actually scoring points.

    That’s also true, no doubt, I just posted at a moment where I wasn’t very impressed with Brady’s plethora of first down runs. Allen’s turnovers have helped hide the fact that offense has been poorly called and schemed tonight imo.
