Bullshit!! I was looking forward to a bad weather game! This league has gotten so soft! Bettors gotta be pissed too, because they factored in the weather when they placed those bets.

There is a travel ban beginning at 9 pm tonight. Hard to play a game that way.

The NY governor has issued a complete travel ban for tomorrow:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced the game will be postponed to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET. In addition, she said there would be a full travel ban in Erie County (Buffalo) on Saturday night at 9 p.m.

They had no choice. If they held this game and someone died going to or coming from the stadium, there would have been hell to pay.

No big deal for me. Actually, I kinda like it as it spreads the games out some.

Government interference to make the game easier is a bad look...
It’s not about the game it’s about the 3 feet of snow and high winds making for dangerous conditions for citizens in the area.

That's fine, they don't need annoying Stealers fans in Buffalo.

snow + wind has caused the Bills came to be moved to Monday at 4:30 ET
Making sure Buffalo has no chance to win and advance. Sure they can win this game, but they will then schedule them for the early game Saturday, 1-20-24. No time to rest. It's bad enough that people who played last Sunday have to play on Saturday. 7 days to heal and prepare is miles different than 6 or 5 days. This isn't NBA playoffs, though the game resembles it now.

you know Goodell looked at this and goes, “why can’t we have 2 playoff wild card games each on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from now on?”

The last big winter storm in Buffalo resulted in 47 deaths.

They are rightfully being cautious ⚠️.
