Anything to accommodate the Steelers

Actually, with the weather conditions/wind, I think it gave Pittsburgh the advantage with the way they were running the ball and expected them to shock Buffalo. The wind would've likely made both offenses one dimensional. The postponement benefits Buffalo if you ask me.

That's what I was thinking. While Allen is a huge Jekyll and Hyde performer (sometimes from play to play), when he's on, he's deadly, so I was hoping for utter shit weather to neuter him and make the game a running game battle. Especially without Watt there to (in theory) disrupt Allen's timing.

All I know is that the winner of this game better be playing Sunday of next week because it'd be some sort of bullshit for Buff/Pitt to be playing after four days rest against an opponent who would have six just because some chick politician pussied out on playing in bad weather, especially when KC is still full-go for tonight despite how they're only going to be playing one of the coldest games in NFL history.

Yeah  explain that. I want a snow covered field and huge winds….Steelers played in awful conditions last week. I much rather the terrible conditions for any hopes of winning.

4:30 EST on Monday???  I guess there was already another game schedule, but what a shitty time for everyone that works.

Shhh, we're trying to keep it on the down-low that the New York governor is actually a Pittsburgh sleeper cell agent trying to bring down the one good team in her state so Big Pennsylvania can rule the empire!

Need to keep Patterson kicking extra points instead of FG attempts?

Unfair keeping of a PI flag in the pocket killed that Browns drive.

I want to punch everyone involved with that Peacock promotion saying they’re creating history with the game tonight.

Playoffs should have a sky ref or some shit. Inexcusable missed dpi. Also wtf is the Browns defense doing?

Stroud killed the Houston drive with the wide open bomb TD overthrow.

Lucky Stroud over threw that somehow 

Looks EASY on the over but we’ll see

Browns set up for the Stroud dagger on the 1st possession of the 2nd half!  

Everytime I see Stroud playing well, I get irritated thinking that if it wasn't for the corrupt officiating last year against Georgia on the 4th down dagger stop the Buckeys made, they'd have been national champions!

Very impressive game from Stroud.  Most QB's, even future elite ones, struggle their first playoffs or two.

Could be a bit of a sophomore slump next year, but looks like Stroud could be great.

Ehhhh, I hate that thinking.  QB play has a lot to do with making the OL and play calling look better.  Bit of a chicken/egg thing.

HOU won 3 games last year.  Didn't do it himself, but Stroud deserves a ton of credit for the turnaround.

He made great plays when they got near him. Steelers pass rush couldn’t touch him….Browns pass rush couldn’t touch him. I mean that’s pretty significant. He made the plays and the OC was a big part in what the plays were.

Maybe teams will show blitz and back off into coverage but what I watched I’m not guessing on a bad sophomore year

We can finally put to bed the idiots who want Flacco to be on this team next year.

Tua looks fucking awful tonight. Quit throwing immediate passes out to the flat that have no chance of going anywhere.

He does but most would in this weather.

He processes quick.  Gets the ball out quick.  After watching Kenny PIckett, I can appreciate how significant that is.

What I'm saying is, you put any of about, I don't know, 20 lesser QBs on that team and the OL and playcalling don't look nearly as good.

Also, why do guys like Wilkins make that blatant roughing the passer penalty. It’s one of the dumbest, unnecessary things they can do. 3rd and 20, he’s already released it and you shove him down for no reason. And it’s Mahomes of all people so you’re definitely not getting away with it.
