This is why I love this game

So, windbreaker or poncho?

Wind , rain , snow, whatever... Heavy elements and football go hand in hand since the inception of the game

You can tailgate in the elements and watch the game comfortable in the stadium.

Agree.

 

The tailgating atmosphere is for the fans.

 

A built for speed team needs an enclosed stadium.

If we could put a roof on the stadium right now to finish out this season id do it…but going forward long term we can plan around playing in the elements. A dome benefits the opposing team too I’m sure some teams wish they could take their roof off against us this season but they can’t 😂

In Sept and October too?  That's ridiculous. Why wouldn't you say nice weather goes hand in hand when it's sunny? 

 

This is stupid weather to play football in.   Somehow people decided that of all types of weather the game is played in, bad weather is football weather.  Crazy.

Nice Weather is obviously a part of the game also.. that's why games in September and October are so beautiful 

 

But as a purist there's also something beautiful about the elements

 

I've watched plenty of films of football game from the 20s and 30s 40s that were played in the elements and it's just beautiful to me as well

Snow games are fun. Wind and wet are not.

[HappyDays]

So many Bills fans are no fun. We should be relishing a December important division game on prime time in the wind and snow. This is Buffalo football.

All the talk about a new stadium.. dome or no dome

 

This weather right here.. the feeling in the air right now.. is exactly why I fell in love with this game and dedicated my life to it 

 

This is Buffalo.. this is how football was played a hundred years ago.. this is tradition

 

The hairs on my arms are standing up as I'm typing this because as I said I could feel it in the air.. it's electrical

 

Usually nervous before big games.. but I'm so calm right now.. because this is Buffalo

 

And Mac Jones is not prepared for everything that is about to be thrown at him

 

Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills

Absolutely my feelings as well. This is football.

We need a year where the cap isn’t significantly reduced and we can invest in a more balanced offensive line…no dome should benefit us in the long run with a strong armed qb.  We really were  forced to choose dline or oline to work on this offseason and the offensive line wasn’t THIS bad last year lol

Haha I got an eye roll so maybe I can further explain 😂 we’ve got a big physical qb with a cannon arm that can run the ball and I wouldn’t say he’s been excellent at airing the ball out and letting his receivers run under it anyway so you’re nearly always going to be hurting the other team more than yourself with an outdoor stadium in bad weather…not to mention you get to practice in that weather if you choose to do that leading up to the game and a ton of teams are used to playing half their games indoors

Send that memo to the coach and front office who thought we should be a passing team with no run.

 

Thanks!

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is false. People are just embracing ALL types of weather. Football is absolutely an outdoor sport.

I think we found a running game over the past couple weeks with Breida and Spencer Brown on the field. And when we absolutely need to pass the ball we have a QB capable of running or throwing through the wind way better than the guy on the other side.

but no one ever calls sunny and 60 football weather...it's only extreme bad weather where they say it

The problem is the NFL is not the pure game of football you’re describing and you grew up playing. That’s the sport. The NFL is scripted entertainment. I know it’s hard to accept the two are not the same.

 

If Buffalo wants a championship they will need to build a state of the art stadium probably a dome/retractable roof and crawl to Goodell on hands and knees and make him believe they’ll fulfill the desired scripts perfectly in exchange for a championship or two.

Okay, I can see your point there. 

 

Although, I've heard "great day for football" in all types of weather, sunny + 60 included.

But do you see this type of reaction for a sunny and 75 degree day in September?  Does anyone say 'this is football weather'?  No
