    NFL game in a dome, it really sucks.

    My two experiences in OLD fashioned domes were in cities that don’t know football and ugly domes. Indy people read books at halftime—they are not mafia!
     

    I like to think about “clear covering with openings”. This idea idea of a clear plastic covering is a good middle ground.

  2. It’s interesting to see behaviors based on incentive. You could bet/fantasy knowing incentives….especially lopsided teams year end. 

     

    —poyer + Hyde chuckle about a bogus interception at the goal line …  “my bonus!”

    —AB there was some snarking about his incentive not being reached

    —Diggs, ideally you sit him at half Jets but if he’s 2 catches away—2 yd hitch routes are coming…

     

    $500k+ for easy work…it could really skew behaviors in some situations

  3. We are just noticing bad conditions more because we have a modern, quality team, great QB, group of good receivers. Exaggerates our focus maybe. 

     

    We have evolved beyond “ground and pound” (aka our passing game sucks)

     

    Oct 9, 2001 

    Cleveland a 6-3 over Buffalo.

    T Edwards/ M Lynch


    We had a good running back !!??  it was miserable weather, and worst game ever.

    Allen would be acclimated to it given that he's playing in it nearly every week, it seems

    QB doesn’t exactly acclimate to wind really.

     

    360 degrees, variable speeds, gusts, sustaining, vertical and horizontal field, start of pass, end of pass. it’s not really an acclimation thing like cold or hot. 

  5. because Buffalonians want to be #1 in ***** football weather in 2040:

     

    “This was a runaway. No NFL city puts its players and fans in more challenging weather than Buffalo.here is a full list of the football weather misery indices we calculated for all NFL cities with teams that do not play their home games in climate-controlled stadiums. Remember, a higher FWMI means worse weather. 

    1. Buffalo (77.4)

    2. Green Bay (65.6)

    3. Cleveland (65.2)

    4. Pittsburgh (57.3)

  6. Townie buffalonians want to build a year 2040 stadium to match one in 1972. 

     

    Terry, wants to HEAT the grass too!!
    = mud in Oct/Nov.

    = half froze slop Dec 

    = spray paint it green Jan for TV

     

    Recent Govt subsidized Yankees $1.7B, $14B LaGuardia, $15B JFK. 
     

    ....cover it or we lose good players. 

  7. It’s a lost cause! The Low IQ BUF townies will only argue that a cover is for “girly men”. (Btw, OJ called, he wants his glove!)
     

    Josh realized we need a stadium cover for highest winds in the NFL (2x), we need as a recruitment, future teams, rules changes, and all styles of future team play!

     

    A cover isn’t about girly-men or nostalgia—it’s about a competitive long term team future.
     

    f the next (local) generation, again.

    strong OL and HOF RB will allow you to do that.


    jeez. You can’t have everyone on the team as HOF. We have excellent players in most spots on D, most spots on O. Let’s toss in HOF RB and line. You can’t build a team with pro bowlers at each position.
     

    beane decided we had to have a modern pass attack to win. Dah! We have that 

  9. The three arguments for open air:

     

    1) “ manly-man harsh conditions are for real men to watch, everyone else is weak”. I suppose?
     

    2) “Other stadiums are open air and are fine”. Bogus. BUF is the worst weather in NFL, by almost every measure (wind, wet, cold). every player knows it affects their career negatively. 

    3) Costly dome

    Downstate NY Yankee stadium had $1.2B subsidy of $2,3B.  Suck it up kids, let’s get $$ for upstate for once!! Spans 50 yrs not a big deal.

  10. NFL is a passing league, period. Buffalo windy outdoors is not a passing place. you need a great passing attack to get to or win SB. 
     

    Yankee Stadium “ $2.3 billion stadium, built with $1.2 billion in public subsidies” 

     

    No place is as bad as BUF. NONE. 

    what is wrong with you?!

     

    p.s. I relish the snow bowl as much as anyone but that’s now how you get to or win SB
