Success Posted January 13 Posted January 13 7 minutes ago, Chaos said: If the Chiefs win, they will have 8 days rest next sunday, the Bills will have 6. Two extra prep days is huge for top tier coaches like Reid. I saw a coach interviewed once - can't remember who it was - but he said the actual gameplan isn't some ongoing thing. They usually get it together in a few hours, and spend the rest of the week practicing for it. So, yeah - they get a bit more practice. But they also have to travel. It's not some huge advantage they'll have. And I'll take the trade-off as a fan. The shorter prep time wouldn't mean much if we lost a flukey game tomorrow. 2 1 1 Quote

Two extra prep days is huge for top tier coaches like Reid. Yup because the players always get 1 day off per week and 1 day is a travel day. So how many days of practice extra does them team have. Yes coaches 8 players 6. Rest days for actual playing from last game Yes 8. Quote

Taskers hype vid from last year is going to have to be changed from “it’s gonna be cold” to “as long as it’s mild” Incredibly stupid post if you live in WNY and experienced what happened here a year ago. 2 Quote
Wayne Arnold Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Dolphins at Chiefs should also be moved. Two days rest for an opponent in the playoffs is an unfair advantage never seen in the NFL before. We're cursed af. 1 1 Quote
Thrivefourfive Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Haven’t read through this thread, but express your opinion on moving the game to Monday, guaranteeing the Bills next opponent has a full two days extra rest next weekend, no matter what. https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form The old timer seem to not recall a governor getting so involved in the Bills business..

Nope. heck, I can’t think of this ever happening They don't have lake effect weather. A Vikings game in 2010 was postponed due to snow in Minnesota. It actually happened in Buffalo just last year! There are several other examples, and even more for hurricanes. Edited January 13 by Bob Chandler's Hands Quote

When the weather gets bad, at best they will just keep the major yardlines clear. Its impossible for them to have the field constantly fully cleared. Have you ever seen a bad snow game before? Quote
Success Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Just checking some of the thoughts of Steelers fans online - they're melting down and saying we're scared of their run game because we want to play in better weather. But doesn't that mean that they're scared of our pass game? Quote

He been talking about this all week and I even tweeted back at him the temp indicators in a few hot Miami games and he didnt say a word. Many other people did too. Not a word.

I see a more Duck Hodges and Tommy Maddox than Big Ben career here. Unless they draft someone else. You see Pickett being the one? He's been Neil O'Donnell like two seasons in. Trubisky's a verifiable backup. Quote
