Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[Husko]

Move the KC game to the Bills slot so that players, fans, and employees don't die of frostbite. Move the Bills game to Monday evening so fans don't die trying to get to the game. This shouldn't be that hard.

No way NFL moves 2 games. Especially with Peacock involved.

IDK man, the more I think about it, this weather completely neutralizes the QB position. If Pittsburgh can run the ball better they might be in trouble.

When you can hand KC another competitive imbalance by giving them a second extra day between games you simply have to do it.

Last year a medical emergency handed them the 1 seed. This year a weather emergency hands them an extra day off.

moving the game is a real disadvantage (short week) for the next round

I assume whoever wins gets the latest game next week

Is Monday supposed to be that much better forecast? Genuine question.

Yes. Light snow 10-15 mph winds

Yes, big time.

I have to say, as someone who is always a big critic of he NFL and an even bigger critic of the governor, very impressed to see the way the best decision was reached here. Given the timing of the travel ban announcement, my assumption if Hochul told the NFL she was issuing one to force their hand on postponing. Props to her for getting the NFL to the right place.

At least I'm off for the first time in years already. And this may work in our offense's favor.

 

[Husko]

Agreed. I've always wanted a dome. But keeping the stadium in OP was always the worst part of the decision, for multitude reasons

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Supposed to be in a car driving home to ny from sc. gonna have to rethink travel plans but my dog also has surgery Tuesday at 8.

Which means if KC wins they get two extra days of rest versus us if we win cause they would come here and they play today.

Since all other AFC games are today, Bills/Steelers will have a 2 day rest disadvantage no matter what.

This is the main negative. Texans/Browns/Chiefs will all have two days rest on us. But oh well

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

News is saying the Steelers are planning to travel to Buffalo tomorrow….

You can’t travel to Buffalo tomorrow… there’s a blizzard… that’s why no football guys.

Good. Bills seem to have magic when the world is against them.

Hell is straight up freezing over for this team.

Also allows a few of the fringe Buf injury guys a extra day of rest.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Not concerned about the rest disadvantage. If the Bills are going to lose, it's because they'll shoot themselves in the foot, and they do that regardless of the rest situation.

What will be interesting is now the entire divisional round schedule will have to wait until Monday. Normally, the 4v5 matchup wouldn't affect it, they can setup the schedule Sunday night. But Baltimore won't know who they're playing next week (Pittsburgh if they win, Miami/Houston/Cleveland if Buffalo wins) until Monday evening, and if they do the right thing and don't make a team play Monday/Saturday, that means Baltimore could play Saturday (if Buffalo wins) or Sunday (if Pittsburgh wins), which means the entire schedule would be on hold.

Who are we kidding though, they'll probably make Pittsburgh play Monday-Saturday (hey, it's more rest than teams get for TNF!)...

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Because whoever wins this game won't be at a big enough rest disadvantage already.

 

[Zman5778]

Because whoever wins this game won't be at a big enough rest disadvantage already.

If that happens, whoever wins will most likely play next Monday. No way the NFL will make a playoff game winner go Tuesday/Sunday.

Looks like Ben Johnson is the favorite for the Washington job

Going to be pretty cold Monday, less wind
