1 day less is hardly something they should be overly upset about if it is announced soon. They have a VP/Director of Player/Pro Personnel and his scouts just to break down films on other teams, so we can't act like they wouldn't be prepared.
This is a very isolated situation of extreme rarity. I think some concessions can be made. How do you think the Bills' players feel right now?
It's a tough one, but something also has to be done to finish the season, and moving post-season games is probably not high on the NFL's list of ideal scenarios. That, however, is the only other semi-reasonable option I've seen. Pushing everything back and eliminating the break week before the Super Bowl so that there is some room to play this all out is pretty much option B.
