Tougher Roster or build a dome?

If McKenzie doesn’t fumble, I suspect we get at least a FG before the half, and then could potentially double dip after halftime.

The Colts would have run all over us in a dome too

We need both. This team is as soft as any I've seen in several years. The trenches are light. Our OL/DL get pushed around by more physical teams. And 3 of our 4 loses reflect that. I'd argue the weather (wind, rain etc) is much more consistent in Buffalo than in Wyo. We've already seen Josh struggle multiple times in these conditions. I'm looking for advantages. I think a dome would enhance Josh's skills. And a physical team can easily run onto a field with a roof. Do both, change the finesse culture and give Josh that edge. Or enjoy your constant wind games and watch JA struggle.  The choice is yours.

We were down 17-7 having had the ball twice... with 2 minutes in the half.  It was a 2 score game, and we got the ball at half.  That fumble made it a 3 score game, and then we took our time getting down there and settled for the long FG.

That was just... such a game killer.  Any momentum from a stop is lost.  3 score game.  Everyones pressing on both sides of the ball now.

Revamping our OL needs to be priority #1 this offseason imo.  
 

that was my #1 priority this offseason too…. Yet we basically have the same OL as last year +1. 
 

 

We did absolutely nothing to improve the OL other than accidentally stumbling on Spencer Brown. Ford & Boettger are worthless. Dawkins looks covid slow and when Williams leaves the RG position he is a mess. Apparently Bates is Yeldon. As you say NewEra it needs to be priority 1,2 & 3.

lol....yes. YES!!

 

The Bills are such a uniquely crafted group that they alone (unlike GB, NYG, Chicago, NE, KC) will only reach the SB if they play their home games in a domed stadium.

 

If not domed....then DOOOOOMED!!!

 

This dome stuff is out of control!!

[Nitro]

No dome.

Seriously?? By the time the stadium is built, there realistically might only be 4-5 guys still on the roster.  5 years is an eternity in the NFL.  

It's more that our style has to align.   Right now it doesn't.

I think the real question is can JA play in loud packed stadiums? We know 2020 Josh was near MVP level with no fans and near silence. Also Wyoming Cowboys Josh played in mostly 20-30k fans in the mountain west conf. To me it seems like his game changes on the road against good teams in loud places! I still like our QB it's just noticeable of his struggles

A stunned silent home crowd didn’t seem to elevate his play.

It as if people believe they accidentally built a dome team and now need to deal with it. 
 

The two teams on display yesterday could have played in a perfectly controlled indoor stadium on a perfect day in San Diego and the outcome would’ve been the same. 
 

They got knocked on there sorry tails.

Just put a giant tent over the existing stadium.

 

Solves a lot of problems.

1.  It fixes the problem with the team.

2. Solves the stadium dilemma - adds roof, preserves existing stadium by keeping it out of the elements, it's cost effective and keeps fans out of the weather.

3. Makes Buffalo the hottest free agency destination, because everyone wants to play at "The Tent at Highmark", the world's loudest tent.

Its amazing that the Lions aren't more competitive given a dome is an obvious substitute for an NFL caliber roster.

[RyanC883]

 Both.   Get a tougher roster and a dome.

Reading this board a day after a loss is like watching this

Don’t forget the perennial contender Atlanta Falcons! 

[Southern_Bills]

Awesome take, the team only lost because the weather was bad. 

 

You can't control the weather in all situations, I'd suggest just preparing for all situations. 

 

But I'm simple, so forgive me.

I went to the Super Bowl in Atlanta. The Cowboys were WAY MORE physical than the Bills and the game was played in a dome.  Once they punched us in the face....it was over. Remind you of anything you've seen lately?
