This will likely be the case for the next 30 years of bills football in January

Yup. 

Last game in 1975 was Jan 12th SB

First game playoff 2024 Jan 13th

 

the old man nostalgia for “tough football weather like olden days”

…is actually early onset dementia.

IF we advance, the following results seem to be the best outcomes

 

If KC Wins, we wanted CLE.  
Browns have best chance to win in Baltimore IMO.

Mahomes again: less than ideal. Even if here.

 

AFC Champ appearance vs CLE if we’re lucky 

 

If MIA Wins, we wanted HOU.
Early forecast is more of the same later next week.  Sean’s D against a rookie QB (as good as he seems) who I don’t think has ever played in anything close to this.

 

AFC Champ appearance vs MIA if we’re lucky

 

a LOT of IF’s obviously.
Fun to think about though

 

I expect Miami to be absolutely destroyed tomorrow

Cleveland is the only team that scares me.  That is a historic defense.  Bring KC to Buffalo.  I want KC

I remember watching the first round of the playoffs (no wild card) on Christmas Day.

We’d have a much better advantage is this game moved to Indy. 
 

No one has an advantage playing in this muck, especially not a QB from California. 
 

The 10 point line might as well be 0. Or 50. As the skill of the players is damn near out the window. 
 

The idea of “buffalo blue collar bad weather team” is laughable in most cases anyway, but playing a team from the exact same geographical area makes it absurd.

It is what it is. No one's moving the game to Indy. Why complain about it?

I'm not too fussed about the weather. It's just an excuse if things go wrong but the Bills have already shown they're capable of struggling this season even in decent conditions. Do the job; get out of there.

Thanks, Nuccie. That is better than some of the ominous scenarios I've read in this thread. I hope it holds.

Ok, agree. But I only wish the bills were building a new stadium soon and took these season-impacting weather issues into account. Like a roof of some sort. That would be awesome.

Why not move the game.  There isn't going to be a "game" in the traditional sense.


Gonna be a Mickey Mouse contest of fun in the snow with no visibility on the field and mega winds.

 

Anyone can win or lose a game like that; skill and talent just got sucked right out of the equation.

I dunno about peak, but the NOAA forcast calls for 32-37 mph winds possibly gusting "as high as 65".  I would guess that number has an error bar which is where 60-75 might come from, but that would seem like the upper end of the upper end.

 

Still, if I were a Steeler, I'd be wondering if a 3 hr bus drive to hotel near Highmark Stadium might be preferable to a bus to the airport, 1:15 flight, bus to hotel.


I know what listed flight time says. But it’s 100% not an hour plus. I regularly fly Albany to JFK/EWR  which is a super similar distance and it’s 25 minutes wheels up to wheels down and about 45 minutes gate to gate. And that’s commercial. These guys are chartering.

 

Also, the Albany airport is maybe the worst airport in the country.
