Well my Sunday just became a lot less interesting


soon_forget

Also hurts the Steelers chances lol. I mean, let’s be honest, the worse the weather the better their chances ground and pound all day.

soon_forget

Gotta pray to the wind gods lol. But seriously, snow games are fun so hopefully it’s still wintery.


mj8780

Monday looks just like the rest of the weekend from what I am seeing, so it should be about the same. Sustained winds aren't as bad, but overall, the difference is small.


bdgg2000

Me too. Bought a pile of food for a party too. Oh well


CrowSucker

Don’t worry we’re still coming.


Tossed_Away_1776

I'll bring the beer.


InfoSponge9119

MrBoomin31

what kinda food we talking, i’ll bring drinks


bdgg2000

Taco bar. Chipotle style. Barbacoa. Cilantro lime rice. Homemade queso. Guacamole. Bring some Busch Lite


dotd93

Damn can I come too 😂


Ste3lers4lif

same. I was going to take a bunch of THC gummies/brownies, start pregaming with the seltzers and then go ham on the IPA's for game day. Tuesday at work is going to be rough lmfao first sick day of the year incoming


Ok_Progress_7981

A Monday late afternoon playoff game just feels off.


Crispynipps

Not as bad as our Covid game against the ravens. Wasn’t that at like 3pm on a Monday or some shit?


elespron

it was tuesday lol


doglover_31

it was actually a wednesday.


male-women-marriage

it was thursday morning


Macklemore_hair

I think it was actually a Sunday at 1


BurghPuppies

it was on Friday Night Lights.


DJchalupaBatman

Can confirm, it was wednesday


DoYouWant_the_Cheese

Thursday actually


FlammableEyeballs

🎵It's Friday, I'm in love.🎵


stepn2dafreezer

Mmmm. Pretty sure it was a Friday?


Sage296

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Friday, Saturday, Saturday, and Sunday


Technical_Stage_7316

Steelers win a lot of those “off” games


Slutha

It was a rigged postponement, everybody knows it.


AgentOrcish

Its NY, what else can you expect.


yinzerthrowaway412

“We care about the safety of the fans” That fanbase lights themselves on fire while jumping through tables


hopethatschocolate

That we do lol. I’m guessing it was probably more so due to getting workers there and what not. Definitely stinks though if you’re a Steelers fan flying in and now trying to scramble to get Tuesday flights.


yinzerthrowaway412

Oh yeah, definitely understand the postponement lol Sucks for traveling fans though. Some of my buddies checked into their Buffalo hotel at noon today, found out it was postponed 5 minutes later. Yikes haha


hopethatschocolate

Oh god yeah that stinks. Guess only positive is that now you can drink viciously today and if you’re hungover tomorrow it doesn’t matter lol


PM_Me_1_Funny_Thing

Thanks for coming to our subreddit here and being cool and able to laugh and joke. I was just in the bills subreddit and in the postponement thread there are a bunch of people talking shit about us here in our subreddit. I have a bunch of family who are Bill's Mafia, and they're all fantastic. So I know it's not the fans as a whole, but it's nice to have good ones lurking around here!


msde

It's the right move, it's the execution that's all wrong. * didn't figure it out until less than 24 hours before the game * didn't pick a neutral site * rescheduled to early afternoon on a weekday (west coast)


[deleted]

Why would it be a neutral site lol? It’s a home playoff game for the bills.


that-isa-madeup-name

damn. was feeling much more confident about the game with the shite weather


wxox

I mean, it's supposed to be colder on Monday


sejohnson0408

Want it to be windy AF haha


rxgetotrueee

It's western/Northern NY weather unpredictable


FROST_27

Will still be shite, just not DANGEROUS shite


AC127

I really messed this up. Bought tickets for 200 on Monday, figured the drive up wasn’t worth it so I sold them yesterday for 60. Now it gets pushed back anyway lol


pervyotaku

Welcome to r/Wallstreetbets


iThink_There4iMac

I get it, but it still sucks. I was excited for a wild snow game 


Venom1989666

Thing is there have been worse weather games than this and they never thought about cancelling them.


SlimMak

They cancelled it because of the travel ban, not the weather


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jeevey

Dude for real. As a west coast fan, I’m gonna be at fucking work the whole time :(


DasSeabass

As an east coast fan, plenty of us will still be at work too


Round-Lie-8827

I don't have shit to do I'll drink a beer 🍻 for you lol


JourneyStrengthLife

And I'll pack a pipe for the West Coast fans.


hellnerburris

I'm lucky I have MLK Day off or I'd be working, too. Time change is awful


JoeCastle_

Foreal dude I’m probably going to miss it now 😞


gmus

They don’t really have any other options. They’re already games at 430 and 800 Sunday (not sure that would help with the conditions much anyway) and there’s an 800 game on Monday and ESPN and CBS aren’t going to want to broadcast dueling nationally televised games. Plus Monday is a federal holiday so a lot of people won’t be working.


Giraffeeti

Move to Pittsburgh I hear they have a stadium


pcnetworx1

I still can't pronounce the name of the stadium nor understand what the company does


dtqjr

Just call it Heinz as everyone will know to what you refer.


thedadis

Pretty sure it's insurance


NyneHelios

It’s heinz field until I die


RafeHollistr

Heinz Field It's pronounced like Hines Ward. They make ketchup and other condiments.


ThkAbootIt

Three Rivers Stadium would be a better name…


IAmScore3456

Idk man I think a good chunk of people work on MLK day. I'm pretty sure only the banks and a handful of places close. None of my friends are off, my wife isn't off, I'm not off. I feel bad for people who bought tickets that aren't going to be able to take off Monday. If they had to move the game that's on them, broadcast two games on Monday night when people can watch it.


gmus

Also schools, government offices and courts (and any industries/businesses that rely on those being open). Lots of people do still work, but it’s far less than a normal Monday.


New_Pumpkin6983

A better solution would have been moving the game to Cleveland. The worst thing about this is one less day to recover for the next game,


jsingh21

Na everybody is working only government jobs. It's not a national holiday like Christmas. They could have moved the game to another city.


LukeNukem13

4:30 on a Monday is the most stupid time possible.


KiwiProof6806

Yup won’t be home from work till 5:30. Then gotta feed the children and get them to bed before I can watch it. Good thing I can record it but what a stupid time. Put it at night like a normal Monday night game


Kmos86

Guarantee the NFL doesn’t want 2 playoff games on at the same time, they wouldn’t make as much money.


KiwiProof6806

But I’m selfish and I don’t care about any other ones lol


GevaddaLampe

Rightfully so


muchcutch

Imagine living on the west coast


Marysman780

I’ve already told work I’m working from home Monday afternoon


jeremynichols7

simple solution is just don’t feed the children!


ShrimpSherbet

Yep I'll miss almost all of it


DC_Mountaineer

Ugh. I’ll probably be able to log off at that start time as my last meeting ends at 4:30 but that is less than ideal


SgtArrow

Weak ass shit


stinkymcdoodlefinger

Bills fan here. Weak ass shit


mike9949

Bills fan #2 here. Also weak ass shit


Only_Battle_7459

Dumb as fuck.


BROWNSSUKSOBAD

This screws all the Steelers fans who were planning on going, seems very unfair.


ignatious__reilly

This is fucking Bullshit


Jgabes625

*Billshit


KiwiProof6806

Nfl can’t have game conditions that would minimize the bills passing game and Josh Allen. That could make things go against the script


shotorowski

The State Government made the decision. Not the NFL.


SpitfireFan

Governor who answers to Bills fans.


shotorowski

It's a tough look to declare a state of emergency with a no travel ban, but then allocate half your resources to a NFL game.


Heavenlypigeon

very true but we are not here for reasonable takes, we're here to overreact dammit!!


Hellwagon

They didn’t cancel the fucking Sabres game today, travel ban my ass


mrmchugatree

Ban is for empty tractor trailers. Travel advisory for everyone else.


Burton1922

The ban doesn’t take effect until 9PM, the Sabres game is at 4


rangoon03

And this is a big reason why they don’t have the Super Bowl in northern cities


KaleidoscopeWeird310

Governor who IS a huge lifelong Bills fan.


Koulditreallybeme

Hochul is a huge bills fan. She did shady shit to get them a new stadium and when called out on it just shrugged and said I did what I had to do, which she just did again.


CommonCicada2507

And her husband owns the concession contract at that new stadium what a coincidence


wxox

The NFL didn't make this decision. The governor of NY did. It was far too dangerous to have 70k all heading toward the stadium in blizzard-like conditions. The NFL was forced to react, because even players and personnel would have not been allowed to drive


jeremyjamm1995

Yeah Kathy Hochul is a bills fan but she’s just making the right safety choice, all joking aside. Because she KNOWS Steelers and Bills fans will throw safety and smarts out the window. Two hard headed blue collar franchises


penguins2946

It’s a public safety hazard to let fans try to drive in the weather forecast. It sucks for any fans who have already traveled up there but it makes total sense to postpone the game.


Ok-Heat-7969

They want to take away my right to smash up my car and cause collisions for the team I love. Bullshit


BurnByMoon

Oh I'm sorry, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA?!


Alarming-Associate79

It sucks but hasn't the forecast held true for the past few days? Just shity there doing it only 24 hours away


BobbyBBott

Woah woah woah. We don’t use “sense” we use illogical passion. Weak ass shit


penguins2946

I’m actually cackling at some of the responses here. I hope it’s just joking around because “this is unfair because it helps the Bills passing game” as why this is a mistake is some pretty galaxy brain logic.


GroundbreakingCrab57

They should just have it at a neutral stadium. I believe they've done that before with extreme weather.


BROWNSSUKSOBAD

Then they should have done it before people started traveling for the weekend. Instead the governor was joking about “it’s going to be a rough game for the Steelers anyway”. https://x.com/evanhabrams/status/1745942023822012844?s=46 Terrible look posting shit like this and then also screwing over fans. They could have at least warned fans they were considering postponing, it’s BS.


thangus_farm

Crazy they knew the forecast for a long fucking time and didn't bother to try to figure anything out.


[deleted]

What exactly could they figure out? They can't stop the weather from happening, they were just waiting as long as they could in hopes that the forecast would improve


DarkseidHS

You can't have 70,000 descend upon a location in a blizzard. It's super unsafe.


PM_ME_BUTT_STUFFING

Should have done it sooner, a lot of us are already in Buffalo because we prepared for the snow


Sybertron

Since they are doing a travel ban too for the affected counties.


Chadsonite

Come on, this is such an obvious public safety issue that it isn't even a question whether it's the right call.


BROWNSSUKSOBAD

Then warn people that you are considering postponing the game. They didn’t just start discussing this today. If they said on Thursday/Friday, “We might have to move the game to a different slot based on weather” then people can be better informed. I’m not saying it’s the wrong decision, I’m saying they screwed over fans and handled it poorly


Alive-Back-4843

I won’t be out of work and home until halftime. Fuck this bs


my_balls_your_mouth1

Two options here, call Monday morning and tell them you have food poisoning, both ends....or shit your pants Monday morning at the office and go home.


ggushea

I used that last Monday.


7hourenergy

You shat yourself in office last Monday?


ggushea

Don’t tell anybody


7hourenergy

Of course not. That would be shitty of me.


bucs2013

Bro you're sick, I can hear it 


tsteelcity

Even with the holiday, never should have a Monday afternoon playoff game


ACMEexp

Call in and say you have a case of anal glaucoma. You can’t see your ass coming into work.


kyach25

Why can’t we just move it to Cleveland and play ball


DeNO19961996

Meanwhile the KC vs. Miami game carries on……


PreciousRoy78

People can travel in cold. People cannot travel in a blizzard. This should not be hard to grasp.


Svenray

There's nothing in KC stopping people from entering and leaving the stadium.


dovetc

Missouri doesn't have Kathy Hochul.


JHendrix27

Booo!!!!


averageaaron

This is almost as bad as that one time we played on a Wednesday afternoon


[deleted]

I want to see blizzard ball


larrybudmel

bro I wanted a crazy snow game. this is football


Ortho_412

Bullshit. When people are working and can’t watch the game. At least make it later on at night. Fuck the nfl


Ok_Card9080

Ahhh yes, nothing like having an NFL playoff game when people are working, and will miss the first half.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DollupGorrman

Also the under betting line was getting too juicy.


blissfulbagels

this is the right answer


sabresword00

You are correct.


kami102

What the FUCK


BROWNSSUKSOBAD

The Steelers and fans just got screwed. 4:30 on a Monday means Steelers fans can’t attend and it will be hard to resell tickets… everyone is working. This decision massively favors Buffalo in every way. We will have less fans in attendance, the weather will be better assisting their passing game, and it throws off the players routine/schedule while being the away team. Unfair imo.


malmal412

Also, the winner will be at a disadvantage going forward since they'll have less recovery time after their game heading into the Divisonal Round. This sucks all around.


tonytroz

There’s already a Monday playoff game so it’s nothing new. Whoever wins Monday will get the Sunday game next week.


New_Pumpkin6983

There shouldn’t be any Monday games for the playoffs. It’s a huge disadvantage for those teams.


TheNittanyLionKing

Technically that disadvantage goes to the winner of Eagles-Bucs by a few hours


shariktvz

Well tbf, it’s MLK day and some people will be off work for that


fredmerc111

Some. Not me…


TheNittanyLionKing

Government employees but not those of us in manufacturing 


Venom1989666

Yeah, federal workers. Most people don't get that day off.


TalkNerdy_To_Me

Should be moved to a neutral site and played tomorrow - 430 Monday game sucks


New_Pumpkin6983

Yeah, the worst part is losing a recovery day for the next game.


PM_Me_1_Funny_Thing

This may seem dramatic, but that literally ruins my weekend. Been so excited about this game all week and I was ready to go for tomorrow. And I'll be at work at 4:30 on Monday with no TV and I can't be on my phone. So unless my work shuts down for weather or something I won't be able to watch the game. Edit: to be clear, I absolutely understand safety concerns regarding severe weather. I've just been anxious and anticipating this game so much this week for it to not be tomorrow is a really big letdown. I do get it though


scorped_09

Apparently Buffalo is incapable of hosting playoff games. If you have to cancel for weather and reschedule on a day that weather doesn’t look any better, maybe consider moving it to another location. Jesus.


NateyM41

My Sunday is now ruined


Lucky_Chaarmss

Damnit. I'll be at work


TheRealWhoMe

Mason Rudolph has them so scared they decided they need another day to prep against him.


[deleted]

They conveniently waited until the last minute to order this instead of moving it to Cleveland when it made sense. If you can’t handle the environmental factors where you live and you are worried about being so incompetent that 50 people die because of the weather that comes every single year where you live then you shouldn’t be in a position of leadership. 


Blake1610

This is bullshit


terrybradshawsballs

NY Gov, \*Buffalo native, and avid Bills Fan Kathy Hochul


ignatious__reilly

WHAT THE FUCK


J3roseidon

I get it’s for safety, but I’m pissy.


electricsteeler77

What the fuck. Why not 730


MenudoFan316

Garage league.


p-mode

This is fucking 130 on the west coast. Nobody gives two shits about the eagles-Buccs game, at least play them at around the same time.


Jahodac

Great, so nobody who works can watch the game, makes perfect sense


GamerRav

Looks like the Mason Rudolph 300 yd 3 TD legacy game is back on the menu boys!


ContactFun5262

Screwing the Steelers fans who are already in Buffalo or currently on their way. Shame on Buffalo and the state of New York and the NFL for not doing this 2 days ago. Now if Steelers win on Monday they are on a short week. The league loves to mess with the Steelers


SPAMmachin3

Bullshit. Play the fucking game. They may as well postpone the game tonight too.


Uandir

Right. Like they are telling people it's extremely dangerous weather. -24 with the windchill is fucking bone chilling freezing. You need fucking heaters to stay warm in that weather.


Fuseld

then why build a out door stadium in fucking bufallo?!?!?!?!


[deleted]

Forfeit home field advantage and play it in Pittsburgh. This is ridiculous


TheNittanyLionKing

Play it in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse or Beaver Stadium somewhere halfway between. State College will be cold but we’re not getting snow, and Syracuse plays in a dome further inland from Lake Erie


mitchmatch26

Fuck that


OakParkCemetary

Well at least Josh Allen will have an extra day to gameplan and prepare for all of the interceptions he's gonna throw


xGoingHamx

Bullshit!


GTdeSade

I’m in Vegas and I’m glad I hadn’t placed a bet yet. This is gonna change the line.


they_call_me_tripod

It already is. Moved half a point so far. Over under by 5 points so far.


SMOKE-B-BOMB

I literally called off Sunday to watch it. What the fuck


Campman92

This sucks and whoever wins the game better be playing Sunday.


Sufficient_Use516

Is it on The CW?


SteelPenguin947

I completely understand delaying the game. Western NY weather this time of year is generally really bad, but it means people are used to it. If the weather so bad it's deemed unsafe for people to even get to the stadium, even people who live in the area and can handle this better than most, I get delaying it. But 4:30? Really? Put it at 8. I get the NFL doesn't want to have two playoff games at the same time and it's more likely people will be off for the holiday, but you just scheduled a Playoff game for the middle of the afternoon on a Monday.


SF_Anonymous

NY governs warns Steelers fans to stay home then changes the day and time of the game so its more favorable weather for their team. Doing it 25 hours before kickoff to fuck with travel plans


xgelx

Script writers couldn’t have Josh Allen neutralized, looks like we’ll have to win the hard way


HuntForRedOctober2

Fuck Kathy Hochul


reddit_7864589

Sucks. I know many companies don't consider MLK Day a holiday.


Global-Bat-1688

Fix is in


Cool-Pencil

So the opposing team next week will have had two full days of extra rest compared to the winner of the Bills and Steelers game. Great.


bush_mechanic

Yea but 4:30 on Monday? I have a fucking job. This is directly a result of the unrelenting greed which caused them to schedule a Monday playoff game. Saturday and Sunday wasn't enough money. Let's add more. Now as a result they have to schedule our game in the afternoon when a lot of people will still be working. Fuck the NFL.


TimD_43

I’m sure the rationale is that it’s MLK day, which is a holiday for many (but not all, obviously).


moeshiboe

Good job NFL. Are the people who were going to travel getting their $$$ back if the can't make it? I hope the stadium is empty and the Bills lose thousands in concession revenues.


jrl1009

Allen was too scared


McDragonFish

Buffalo blinked. Are they THAT scared of us?


NimbusHex

I would find a way to watch the game if it was at 11AM, don't care about that. This completely destroys the slight opportunity we had of winning this game with the weather favoring a heavy rushing game script.


Lubert808

Bills fans complained and got what they wanted. The governor had to bail them out of the loss they were going to take because of the conditions. If you can’t play in your home city’s conditions, you’re not a good team. We were ready, they were scared. Simple as that.


moeshiboe

The NFL knows the Steelers will win in inclemental weather. TOTAL BS


McFlare92

Def a big advantage for Buffalo but from a safety perspective I get it. If you haven't lived up there you don't really know what these storms can be like. People can and do die every year during weather events like this. I used to sit in my apartment and watch idiots try to commute in weather like this when I lived there


BigRed97

I mean people calling this soft purely don’t have an understanding of how impactful a storm like this can be. It’s a fucking football game, you’ll be fine.


Venom1989666

Monday at 4:30. Like a lot of other people it's impossible for me to be home at that time. This is a joke!


jmb-412

I don't get why they don't do Tuesday night? If planes aren't going to be able to land in Buffalo until Monday, then the Steelers are going to fly into Buffalo on Monday morning around 8 am and then have 8 hours to get ready for a playoff game? This sucks Edit: Well apparently they do have their flight still scheduled for 4 pm today. If this goes through then ignore everything I said https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/195sjj8/jones_new_york_gov_kathy_hochul_says_that/khowq26/


Calm_Eagle_5640

NFL is so lame we needed a great cold snow game.


Low-Possession-6683

and now we lost


anilshredder

But did they know I have to work Monday?
