I think that is a valid concern. But given the weather I’m more concerned with winning this game. Moving to Monday hopefully brings some of their talent advantage into the mix again. Quote
ColoradoBills Posted January 13 Posted January 13 For all the "domers", remember what happened in Minnesota with their first dome. Quote

Think they are missing the safety component for fans and workers. The new stadium is not below the ground and has some fan cover. Likely this will mitigate the insane swirls that exist at the Ralph/Highmark. It’s about the potential disaster of 70,000 traveling in this. Watt and Steeler fans were and are hoping for the worst possible conditions knowing that helps them. Quote

I’m sure they’ll at least give us a Sunday game but it’s ok we’re the bills and if this is our year we’ll find a way They wouldn't really be able to plan because they won't know for sure who they are playing until after the game on Monday. But it does give them 2 extra days go rest and heal up Quote
BigAl2526 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 The league could have shown a little foresight. Buffalo is the NFL City most likely to have weather that could force the postponement or relocation of a game. Knowing that, the league could have scheduled Buffalo-Pittsburgh on a Saturday. That way, if weather forced a postponement, they could still have played on a Sunday. 1 Quote

Trubisky's a verifiable backup. Lots of FA QBs and they could afford to sign one as little $$ invested in QBs now. Cousins would fit there 1 Quote

Which you would know if you actually read the article. Take your political crusade somewhere else. Did you read the article? The Minny game was moved because the dome collapsed…. the Government moving the game and not the nfl (acting alone) is unprecedented Edited January 13 by peterpan Quote

It's a massive advantage for the Chiefs/Texans/Browns. Unprecedented, actually. Any one of those three teams will likely be favored next weekend. 1 3 Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Idiot Dolphin fans have now moved onto "This is two years in a row that Buffalo game got moved. They need to move the team if it's so unsafe." I can't stand them stupid morons. Quote

I hear you but overall the move to move the game to Monday is a huge win for Buffalo. Pitt is the only game that counts. This move makes our offense more functional and dangerous. It gives back a huge edge to the Bills. If the Bills played on Sunday the Steelers chances would have increased on game script alone. I think the Bills team is pretty resilient. They should be able to handle one day less of rest. I think we fans and players have been salivating to play KC in a home game. They should be ready to play regardless of a day less rest no matter the opponent. I think the only real derailment would be an injury to a key player. Quote

The Minnesota game had already been rescheduled for the following day before the roof collapsed. (when they got 15" of snow, not the 2-3' expected in Buffalo). Then it was moved to another location after the roof collapsed. Take your dome and gub'ment nonsense the same place the other guy is taking his political nonsense. 3 1 Quote

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Whatever happens from this point on...I blame Miami. If they didn't trot out a noodle armed QB that has zero clutch gene and they were able to handle business at home and win the division both the Dolphins and Bills would be playing in warmer Florida. And I would be there having fun in the sun all week. Now I'm stuck home and have to shovel snow tomorrow. Seriously, EFF the Fins. Screw everything up. 1 Quote

The reports online predict 12” for this weekend. Less than Minny got. For the last time, the snow accumulation itself is not the problem. Edited January 13 by BRH 1 Quote
