Agreed. If all attention is on Diggs it puts a ton of pressure on Kincaid.

Attending these kind of games is a blast. The traffic in and out on the other hand 
As much as some people would probably hate it. With how big business is in the NFL, and how much of a TV product it is (I believe all but 1 of the top-30 watched broadcasts in 2023 were NFL games) I don't think a single team should be playing outdoors (or at least have a retractable roof) It dilutes the product, increases injury chance, and is rough on the fans too. Its honestly archaic.
I get the feeling between this game and the Mia/KC game, there's gonna be a lot of awful football this weekend. Great news for the Ravens, as it probably increases the chances the better teams lose this week.

No doubt. I can't remember if it was the NE playoff game, or the Mia playoff game, but one of those we didn't get back to my Dad's (20 minutes away from the stadium) until about 2:00 AM.Attending these kind of games is a blast. The traffic in and out on the other hand

Line has gone down to 9 and total is down to a whopping 34. I'm guessing more weather related than anything?

The teams were told by the NFL today that it is planned to go at 1 PM Sunday

I look forward to being there at 6:45
biggest issue will be his run blocking on the edge but luckily Sherfield is a good run blocking wide out. Weather should be a mess for a Gabe Davis type game anyways.

If it does get moved which I’d put at a 5-10% chance it’ll be in Buffalo at 4:25pm Sunday or Monday night in Buffalo like 7:00pm.

The new stadium will be mostly covered except the field of play but how it’s set up it’ll mitigate most of the wind which is all I really care about as a season ticket holder.
This current stadium is a wind tunnel built below ground. Figures the Bills finally make the playoffs once the 2 seed and bye goes away.

They offering $20/hr to shovel the stadium.

Reach out to the small colleges and high school football teams in the area, make it a whole party, rent a place nearby, convince some players to show up and take pics, throw them some preseason freebie next summer....so many ways to make this a PR win, and instead it's: 20 bucks and hour, we'll let you take breaks.
Not a big deal, just a bit lame.

Smart move to move the game to Monday

Soft.

Those conditions would have been brutal and dangerous for fans to get there. Monday looks better... a bit less snow, and way less wind. Should still be a cold snowy game but not near what tomorrow would have been.These Buffalo fans.
Soft.

Yes, the weather report I linked earlier is that the snow was going to end roughly same time as the game. Waiting 24 hours makes it a lot safer, and frankly, the BIlls don't want snow messing up their curb-stomping.

Seems like snow might continue into hard into Tuesday morning, as the forecast has changed quite a bit.

I was looking forward to a "weather" game, but I guess anything that makes it easier to pass the ball works in our favor.

Probably the right decision but it royally screws any fans that traveled to Buffalo fir the game
Deamon

It's still going to be a 'weather' game. Still expected to be snowing during Monday's game and windchill's around 0 degrees. Just a bit less wind, a bit less snow, and more time to prepare
Deamon
Footballguy
100% the right decision. Does suck for them, but hopefully they can get Monday off work too, and the conditions won't be quite AS miserable for them in the stands.

Weather Channel Forecast for Monday in Orchard Park
Monday during the day:
Monday night into Tuesday morning:
It will still be a rough weather game, but at least it should be more in line with a "normal" winter weather game.
FYI, there is a total driving ban for all of Erie County starting at 9 PM Saturday night. Tandem trucks and empty trucks are already banned on the thruway from Rochester to the PA State Line.

Probably would have to take Tuesday off as well since the game won’t be over until the evening.

How about all the gamblers putting money on the under all week long as the weather forecast trended worse? Weather will probably still be tough but there are going to be a lot of pissed off people. Over/under already moved from 33.5 to 38 on DK.

I mean, it is gambling

Seems to me if you’re worried about player and fan safety enough to move the Bills/Steelers you would move the KC/Miami game too.
ETA: looks like the NFL had no choice but to cancel since roads are going to be closed

Most books voided bets last year when game was moved to indoors to Detroit.

Haha, DK still had their lines up when I heard. Hammered the over 33.

Pansy NFL..

Totally not the right decision.. Remember back when football was played in snow.. But again, the NFL wants Buffalo to advance.

So if Pittsburgh wins, will they move the Baltimore game.. Playing Monday and then Saturday seems bad.

wait are they soft for not doing anything last year or are they soft for doing something this year?

People whining about schedule changes when they're in reaction to emergency weather conditions is wild.Have some sympathy for people whose lives, health, and safety are at risk.

True, but I took the Under and under on most of everything else, like Rudolph passing yards, Johnson Rec Yards.. Now seems like all that is going to be in trouble.

They moved game last year and now this year. There was a separate storm Christmas (Bills were away) where they didn't do anything and a bunch of people died. They since added some text messages that go out to everyone, decades behind the times.

I understand why they moved the game, but that’s kinda weak sauce.

I don't know who Lee Sharpe is, but he is wrong.. It's simple, can't make it Sunday to the game, stay home.. There is no reason to move this,.. Play in weather, like the NFL did in the past. Like I said, if Pittsburgh wins, they are in a huge disadvantage having to play again on Saturday in Baltimore.
I just wish these GD owners would get rid of Goodell.
If a team can't host a game, move it to the away team's stadium.. Play the game in Pittsburgh tomorrow.

It’s still gonna be 19° and snow/rain/sleet
I think the high winds were a concern.

Yep whiteout's and a travel ban. The dome talk is pointless, would have been moved with a dome. (The new stadium will be partially covered to mitigate wind.
Agree Monday should still have a snow game feel.
There is DRIVING BAN in place due to severe weather and dangerous road conditions. Should the players and coaches spend tonight at the stadium to prepare? Maybe they can huddle up with the cheer leaders to stay warm. And if the hardcore fans want to snowshoe in who is the NFL to stand in their way?? Screw safety concerns, Let Them Play!
Where??
