Wow. I didn't know this, it's a natural disaster area;

buffalo is a disaster area all on its own.  it doesnt need weather conditions...

I’m not throwing any opinion on whether this is right or wrong.  I’ll side on safety, move the game back a day, that’s fine.

I don’t recall playoff games from 20 or 30some years ago being postponed due to weather.  Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know.  Granted, there are more playoff games these days than back then.  No opinion on it, just an observation.

cincy and san diego was -60 wind chill.  might have kept the pass happy chargers out of the super bowl that year.

I think a lot of folks forget/ignore the indirect infrastructure associated with these games and how adverse travels for those folks ain’t worth it.  Or maybe he’s simply taken too many shots to the head to consider those folks.

But among those folks have to be Bills leadership who are currently in plans to continue with an outdoor stadium.

I’m going to guess the game is postponed because of the travel conditions rather than if the stadium has a lid or not.  I’m going to guess a lot of indoor destinations in and around Buffalo are going to be closed because folks aren’t going to be able to get to them.

Wasn’t that the season where the Super Bowl was at the Silverdome?

Yep.   brutally cold here too.   Power went out just before the game started and it literally came back on when they flashed the final score.   I wanted the Chargers to win so badly.   They were fun to watch and they had star players who probably had really good children that would never do anything wrong. 

 

Chargers went from winning in OT in warm, humid Miami to that game in a week.      Now Buffalo postpones a game because of Wind Chills of -30 ...............we've gone soft.  

That Dolphins-Chargers game was the best game I've ever watched.

Poor Browns.

Looks like the clock struck Midnight for Flacco as he throws back to back pick 6s as the Texans continue to pour it on.

Hey, we're kind of like them............that could be us tomorrow.

Crazy to think that the Texans are now just 2 wins a way from the Super Bowl after where they were at like 9 months ago. Landing Will Anderson and most importantly CJ Stroud in the 1st round was a complete franchise altering day for them. 

Oh and of course how could I forget hiring Ryans and his staff. Amazing how quickly things can change when you bring in a great coaching staff and knock your draft out of the park.

NO, YOU'RE WEAK........YOU'RE ALL WEAK !     In my day we'd watch games with at wind chill of -59 and we'd walk uphill to get there, both ways, with no coats !          If course uphill was walking up my driveway to get in my house where I watched the game on TV with no coat on.     BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT NOW, CAN WE?

What do you mean?   I know it's 45-17 but there's 7 minutes left and this is the Browns we're talking about.   You never count 'em out !

Maybe building an open air stadium in a snow belt wasn't the best idea...but people didn't think about those things in the 70's...it was all about pet rocks, cocaine, casual sex and mood rings

They can’t use that excuse for the new place, set to open in 2026.

I enjoyed the clip where she couldn’t see out the suite window because it’s completely frosted over.

Watching Juwaan Taylor false start without a penalty like it’s September.

I hope Ben Johnson saw that TD play to Tyreek. Great play design for Jamo

I've never seen a QB get his helmet smashed in

The obvious answer to the blizzard is to relocate the Bills to London.

Yes, the first casualty of the low temps.

Not necessarily commenting on it cause of this game cause I'm sure the weather is playing its part but in general its funny/impressive how the Chiefs defense has now become the strength of the team. Most metrics have it as a top 5 or even 3 defense and it does pass the eye test, where as the offense has been hit or miss most of the season.
