I'll be on a cruise ship docking in Maui at 8AM with 5 others who will want to see the game.  1 PM ET will mean a 7AM start in Hawaii.  I hope the ship is carrying the game that early, as I doubt bars in Maui will be open for the early game.  I suspect we'll be watching on our phones!

I think they get the WC weekend off… I’m expecting Ian Eagle and Davis   
 

edit : guess I was wrong !! 

 

Yeah, no way Nantz and Romo would take the week off for a playoff game. They are the number 1 CBS announcing team.

Sorry , no disrespect intended , but you don’t know how Tua will be playing ; why would he go out if he is “ scared”.?   Thats just speculation/ fan speak  and if he is out there , with all the focus specifically directed toward him ,,he does not play without clearance so it’s out of his hands.  Usually you expect a guy with three documented concussions in one year to be shut down, but if he has no symptoms and clears the protocol, I bet this coach goes with him with so much at stake. 
Even our own  pro bowl center has SIX concussions, at least two within this year , and I have not heard  he is playing scared (he  has never said so ) and obviously he has not been “one hit” from “ his career being over “ ( related to his concussion history , yet EVERY player is ONE HIT from their career being over as  Hamlin nearly or possibly demonstrated a week ago ) , ao speculating about  Tua   because you are a good Bills fan is being a little biased. 
 It’s been a great year to be a fan of this team as they seem to keep winning despite making several mistakes that somehow they find ways to recover from ( another red zone int by Josh, lost fumble by motor , touching a punt and turning it over to the Pats , allowing Jones,who everyone on here describes as average at best , to go 17/17 in three TD drives as our d faced an 8-8, now 8-9 team), and truthfully  we were behind by three to this bad offensive team on our home field at one point, so who knows what to predict? 

       Despite the mistakes, they keep making spectacular things happen that they pull out wins with, like two kickoff returns for Tds , Tre making a key drive stopping int , and while Gabe seems to be  dropping balls more than expected or not getting two feet down more than once , in comes Smoke from the past with a great Td catch, or  Allen makes up for the red zone int with a perfect bomb to Diggs and extends another play finding Dawson in the endzone!   Here’s hoping Dorsey will roll out some new wrinkles , like Beasley, Smoke , throwing downfield to Cook, running Josh inside the ten, using Shakir more etc.  
Predicting anything about Tua and the Fins just seems impossible this year and I personally hope he is out.  ( alls fair in the playoffs cuz it’s one and done !)   It’s a little concerning as he did lead them to one of the wins against us and they played well against us  in cold weather: it probably will be another one possession game ( we won the last one here in the cold 32-29, they beat us by two in Miami, so seems it will be very competitive).
We played at a different level last year in the playoffs, but injuries have really taken a toll this year.  Hyde is out , Hamlin is out , Poyer and Tre are not 100% , and the guy Beane thought was critical to advance , Miller , is out.  Throw in an OC in his first playoff game and it might make things a lot more even or unpredictable than we expected. Vegas tho must think Tua is not playing with that line, and any advantage to overcome the gift KC got having to play only two games to get to the SB,  after losing head to head to both us and Cincy, is something I’m all for.  
 

 

His head is fragile, his body is fragile, look at his injury history from his last two years of college ball going forward, and he knows it won’t take more than a conventional tackle in which his head hits the ground to put him out of a game, with yet another concussion, we have all seen how his HC is giving him the RG3 treatment, but you can ignore this if you like,

I’ve been at Disney during games. It will be hard to avoid updates. What’s your plan that day? I’ve been the guy wandering around the parks watching on an iPad / phone, not ashamed to admit it. 


it turns out that this is more complicated. I just found out that that day we will be at some park in Orlando called Discovery Cove. You basically stash all your stuff in a locker and wear a wet suit and swim around with sea animals and stuff all day. The great irony of it is I will probably be swimming with dolphins as the bills are playing the dolphins. 
 

anyway, i think this may make accessing my phone during the day impossible.

I am going to need some major help. I am going to be at Disney with the family that day. There is no way I can watch it live.
 

I can probably avoid media all day. But any ideas on how best to watch a replay later that night? 

 

(My only thought was subscribing to NFL Gamepass, which I think lets you watch replays after the games are played. Anyone have experience with this?) 

You don't need Gamepass.  All of the playoff games will be free on the NFL app, as long as you're within the US.

But replayed for free too? I am probably not going to be able to stream live, and I can’t DVR it at a hotel, so will need to rely on replay, I think.
