Tougher Roster or build a dome?

[Matt_In_NH]

There is no path to a dome.   

[Steptide]

Everyones arguing whether to build a dome or not if it's an advantage to our team, and I'm all build a dome so 70 thousand fans can enjoy then game and not freeze their balls off

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

First off, my dome brothers, I have really enjoyed complaining about this all year with all of you. 
 

Second, all I can remember is Josh playing two games in perfect weather conditions in Arizona last year, and throwing absolute lasers. How can you not want that every week? Behold:

Josh allen qbr. 

 

2021 

Home rating - 85.8

Away rating - 99.4

 

2020

Home rating - 103

Away rating- 110.5

 

2019

Home rating - 76.9

Away rating - 92.6

 

I'm on dome bandwagon

The only reasonable option after seeing this is to offer all home games to the opposing team.   They will all take it.   Home games are the problem.  Let’s eliminate the problem

A dome in OP seems like the kind of graveyard that is the City of Niagara Falls in a nutshell.  The Turtle?  Wintergarden?  Rainbow Mall?  Why pay for ***** that you don't need?  If the Bills "need" to move to Austin or San Antonio, then let them.  Enough is enough with paying for ***** that doesn't make sense.

 

I liked the Turtle in Niagara Falls.  I (and others) just did not use it enough to make it pay.

Lol yeah.  We lost.  Oh well.  The vision of playing in ideal conditions where each team can play to their fullest potential has faded and gone from my wish list.  Now I just have to hope that Mother Nature is good to us and that Beane can build a better run game and we can improve our run D

Oh and some want us to pay for **** because they like to throw it and sell it.

Just did the math for 2021: the rating for opposing QBs in Buffalo in 2021 through 8 games is 60.9. The Bills have a massive positive rating differential of over 20 (you have to factor in sack yardage lost into team passer rating, so it'll be a little less than 85.8 for the Bills). Anyway, the differential is over 20. That is huge. With regard to Buffalo weather, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander: opponents have to play in it too. In 2020 and 2021, when Allen's rating became a thing, they will be 15-4 at home including the playoffs assuming they beat the Jets.  

 

 

Yep and maybe free agency will be rescinded and players won't be allowed to make business decisions about not playing their home games in a negative individual performance environment.   

 

More realistically...........over the course of the life of the new stadium..........players will have considerably more influence over where they play.

 

And while they might not otherwise choose against living in a city for 6-7 months if the QB/HC and money is right.........superstars aren't likely to choose to run their races on a muddy track. (and I'm told that Terry Pegula fancies a heated natural grass field........so that could become quite literal ).

Get more female fans who do not have balls.

 

And a big shame that stadium will be much smaller than 70K.

If the 50 MPH wind game didn’t convince the Bills to build a roof, then nothing will. 
 

But I hear you. Just time to pray for good weather conditions every Sunday from now on out.

Yup.  Luckily our QB is a monster and if we can build him a wall that can run block as well as pass block, we’ll be fine.

[Nextmanup]

If Josh Allen's foot doesn't slip on his QB sneak on 4th down in Nashville, we almost certainly win that game.

 

If we win that game, RIGHT NOW we are the NO. 1 Seed in the AFC.

 

And you guys wan to tear down the entire roster so we can be "tougher" or build a dome?!

 

Wouldn't it be easier to buy Josh a new pair of cleats?  

 

Thank God fans have zero say in what gets done.

 

 

[Since1981]

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. 

[Success]

I mean, people kind of forget that even if we have a dome, we might have to go to NE, or Pitt, or NY, or Baltimore, or KC, or any one of a variety of places in the playoffs that could have terrible weather.

 

Peyton Manning had a dome. It didn't serve him too well for many years when he had to go TO New England in the playoffs.

 

[Since1981]

Stadium Avg wind speeds. Doesn’t seem like a lot but 8 mph to 16 mph is +100% increase in wind.

 

Buffalo/Orchard Park 16.1

Foxborough, 14.5

Kansas City, 10.6 
Cleveland 10.5

Chicago 10.3

Green Bay 10.0 

Tennessee 8.0

Jacksonville 7.8

Charlotte 7.4

So this week might be a catalyst to see what we do next as am organization.  

 

We have a soft team...I think everyone agrees there and it showed yesterday. Soft as in undersized, and just not cut out for hard nosed football...so with this roster are we better in a dome?  

 

Good news is we get to see in 3 days.  What if we go out and look like our old selves Thursday and throw it all over the field.  1 game after getting embarrassed and playing sloppy in the elements...

 

So my question is like the chicken or egg debate.  Do we:

 

1.  Continue to build the greatest show on turf roster that is more speed focused than power...and cave on building a dome?

 

2.   Gut the roster and bring in some big bodies that can bully people come December and Jan in the elements of western New York.  

 

I honestly think this needs to be talked about when considering a new stadium.  What is the personality that we want to build and that is the stadium direction.  As of now...our roster is more dome and less western New York.  

No, not everyone agrees with your assessment.  I am not sure what part of the game you felt indicated the Bills were soft.  The holding the opposition to under 280 yards and 13 points on offense? Or maybe the running for 233 yards on their defense?  Maybe it was the 5 sacks of their QB?  Enlighten us please on how that performance was soft.

[Since1981]

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)

You’ll eventually get where the rest of us are. You’re just bit slow. A year or so behind us.

Indeed.  Who wants to see a dome, off season, that basically nobody uses?

 

And yeah, in the 1980s, Niagara Falls was jumpin', in particular during the holiday season.  But, of course, it's not longer the 1980s.

There was an American Indian restaurant there in early 80's  My girl friend and I took bus to Niagara Falls, looked around, walked across bridge to Canada and walked back but thing I remember most about that was that restaurant.
