    I'm not saying he has a cannon like Allen, but his arm strength is better than average IMO. He certainly has a stronger arm than Pickett or Trubisky, and most importantly more accurate

    The National Weather Service just this afternoon issued a winter storm watch for much of Western New York, including Orchard Park, where the Bills play. The watch, in effect from Saturday afternoon through Monday morning, said more than 7 inches of snow are possible over the weekend, with winds possibly reaching 60 mph.

    They should play it in Pittsburgh.
    damn Cleveland

    That old lake effect snow can dump much in a short bit of time lol
    Does anybody remember the great Shady McCoy in the snow up there?
    When we win, we may not be able to get home. Lol

    You're giving Allen more credit than he deserves. He has not looked good as of late and he throws picks which is great for the Steelers.

    I parlayed the over with the Steelers covering when the matchup was first announced.

    Several weeks ago I took the bills at 11 to 1 to win the SB. Obviously I'll gladly eat that money at this point.

    Why? Bills would lose home field advantage.

    I know this is being denied already but if there is safety concerns for fans they will either move the game to Monday night or move the venue.

    Its a win-win for us either way. We either play in Buffalo in a wind/snow storm, which keeps the game on the ground and somewhat neutralizes their biggest advantage over us (QB). Or we move the game to the NFL stadium closest to us, that we play in once a year, neutralizing the home field advantage that Buffalo worked really hard to get. I'd prefer playing in the storm, but the secondary option doesn't suck for us either :)

    Speaking from Vermont, where these types of storms (called nor'easter rather than lake effect, although I do live near a pretty big lake) happen a few times a year- it's going to be all about timing. The traditionally vague storm warning gives a pretty big time window for snowfall, so if it does not happen during game time it might not be a big deal.

    After I made my post I thought maybe he has tickets to the game. If true, that would suck for him if gets moved.

    No, he really doesn't have a stronger arm than Pickett. He just throws the deep ball with better touch. That isn't the same thing.

    Allen, on the other hand, has ridiculous arm strength that may allow him to throw the ball some despite the wind.
