Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I heard Beane on OBL (I think it was) say that the analytics show it's better to go home and back. Interesting that the Bills' assessment differs from other teams. 7 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 When I traveled to the west coast going that way was much easier than coming home. Pushing my schedule back 3 hours was simply going to bed a little later one night,coming back was 3 days of moving the bed time an hour each day. So for Bills going West each time is not as bad.

I commuted coast to coast for a few months and it wasn't that hard. I'd much rather fly twice than have to spend the week in a hotel away from home. 5
JMF2006 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I think its better to come home so hurt/ injured players can receive treatment. I also think sleeping in your own bed for a week is better than sleeping in a hotel room. I travelled a lot on business trips in the 80's and 90's and couldn't wait to get home to sleep in my own bed. Like Buffalo Timmy said going East to West is a lot easier to adjust to. 3
AmishRifle Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I think the decision was directly tied to our multi-million dollar training facility to help the players recover and receive treatment. Ten to 14 days without access to your state of the art treatment facilities could put you in a huge hole for the rest of the season. Makes perfect sense to me. 5

machine gun kelly Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I didn’t quite understand it, but if Beane did the math, I trust him on going back and forth. It’s not like they are flying commercial or have a stop. They also don’t necessarily have red eye flights which for me is the worst with corporate travel. My home office and was in Mgmt for years was in CA for two companies. Bottom line is I can’t sleep on planes so I’m worthless the next day. If you’re on a private jet, non stop, a five hour flight at most, and in you’re own bed makes sense to me. Staying in a hotel for over a week sucks not to mention, most players feel like they were in car crash each week so that makes it worse.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Based on the injury report last season (knock on wood) whatever Sean says.... 2
sherpa Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 From most reports, what a number of players used to do post home game during the Super Bowl years was far more damaging than a five hour snooze in an airplane. 2
thebandit27 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 This is all about wanting access to their own wellness facilities. The Bills continue to be at the top of the league in injury recovery and maintenance of health, and a lot of that is due to the facilities. 3 1

I mean - you're there for a few days - i don't see the need to stay there for 2 weeks to play in vegas and then in arizona. Vegas is a 6 hour flight, and I probably want to travel on friday - do my walk through early saturday and then lock them in their rooms lol. Catch a late flight home sunday night and take monday off. Back at it on Tuesday.

chris heff Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Not to mention that their experience flying on a private jet is significantly better than flying commercial..
