HappyDays Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Quote Wait… so you think on a equal playing field, the Steelers stand a better chance at beating us? We won’t have Gabe, for whatever that’s worth.. and we’ll see about Douglas, but the Steelers weakness, especially without Watt, is defending a passing attack down the field. Yeah and I recognize I'm in the minority opinion on this one. But recently the only reason the Steelers offense has done anything is because they could launch the ball downfield to Pickens. People have already forgotten that the Steelers were arguably the worst offense in football until that element became part of their game. In windy snowy conditions I thought we would easily shut them down, meanwhile our own passing offense would be handicapped somewhat but not completely shut down. I thought all in all it gave us a big advantage, contrary to popular opinion. So from my perspective we've now lost an advantage over our wildcard opponent and gained a disadvantage over our divisional opponent. Edited January 13 by HappyDays 1 5 Quote

Will they now stay home till Sunday, but then risk having a hard time getting to Buffalo, or will they fly in Monday morning? That creates an unusual travel plan which could mess with them. Do they fly? I know, for example, that the Giants take busses to Philly and a train to Washington. Quote

Something always happens. Its a wash IMO. Playing in the kind of weather coming takes way more toll on the body and there would have been a lot more fatigue. Quote

I'm just annoyed that now the presumed outcome is we get the Chiefs on 8 days of rest and preparation while we get 6 days. That would of course happen the one time we finally get them in our stadium. Chiefs luck never runs out, just sick of it is all. well considering the temps KC is playing in, they will feel that in their bones for 2 days It may kind of even out. If that happens 1 Quote

I don't think he is great but he has really come on the last three games, and I just have the worst feeling when teams decide to really stick to a run game against us (which bad weather would force). Especially a tough team that doesn't mind having that be their identity. Quote

You must have read the same article a couple week back that I did! LOL True could be by bus. Pretty certain it won't be train though. Seems like Pitt to Buffalo is further than NJ to Phil? Quote

I don't disagree with you entirely, but it's worth mentioning that wind will still likely be somewhat of a factor on Monday, just 5-10 mph less of one. 2 Quote

JaCrispy Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Probably the best case scenario… Just wanted to add, I’m a lifelong Bills fan, and regardless of what happens in this year’s playoffs, I absolutely love Josh Allen and and this team…And are so lucky to be able to experience this era of Bills football! 👍 3 Quote

I agree with the pit analysis part but really bad weather certainly could add some randomness if there’s a fumble or shanked punt or something. They definitely had to move the game too so competitive advantage is not something we really have control over Quote

Never know what results you will get with mcd. Fair enough but at least they have some experience with a moved game (Damar too of course, bad outcome there too, so maybe you're right, I dunno) Quote
