Go for it and let me know what you think.

 

 

 

 

Why do people hate MNF?  Do you have to work nights or something?  Or go to bed early so you can't see the whole game?

 

What's not to love about "playoff weekend" lasting an extra day?

 

You'd rather have no football on Monday night with the whole thing already behind you for another week?

 

I want more football.

 

 

I think the concern is you seem to be penalizing the winning team so that they lose a day of preparation for the next game.

 The sham that is Shaq is finally apparent to even the lowly Jets.

A little birdy says if round 1 is Pats @ Bills the game will likely be Saturday night.

 

Funny enough a little birdy told me it will be the Monday night game...

True enough about the Jets, but he also flamed out in Miami, and three of his four years in Buffalo were mediocre at best.  He had a decent year in his contract year, but that’s it.  He is not worth the phone call in my opinion at this point.

You can go for it and go for 2 on TDs, but you can really put your defense at a disadvantage if you can't punt.

Kicking leads directly to points, punting doesn't.

Another birdy told me Sunday @ 1.

[sonyab1974]

Hmmm. I noticed the time of the game has changed to 4:25 pm. It was at 1. I wonder why they changed the time.

Hey Netflix: Bills theme, 1974 to present day, sonyab fell asleep to OJ game 1974, wakes up to Josh Allen 2022, can't believe there's not a dome yet in OP.  Pitch the pilot I'm in.

[Ray Stonada]

Buffalo is not building a dome. Why not get over it?

Big yes to the bolded, especially in the playoffs. I have competing priorities in my life besides just football. I love football! But I love other things too. And I also have to make time for things I don’t love, but ought to do. (Like my job and other responsibilities.) 

 

So yeah, Saturday and Sunday are great for playoff football. Give me 3 games each day and I’m very happy! But don’t try to take a third night out of my week. 
 

As a side note, the MNF production is so obnoxiously bad that it actively hurts my enjoyment of the games. That’s been true for a while now, but doesn’t HAVE to be true going forward, so it’s a lesser complaint in this context.

I can't give you evidence of the future because it hasn't happened yet.........just like they didn't know that the majority of the games played in Rich Stadium would be played in an era of player free agency.    

 

The outdoor stadium crowd is mostly just thinking about what's important now.

 

I'm banking on significant change.

 

Higher costs of attendance, more player freedom,  a less violent but faster and more skillful game with a lot more technology on the field,  a season that continues to stretch deeper into winter and less fans wanting to shell out those big bucks to sit out in that cold all seem like good plays to me.

 

And if you want to pretend that the prospect of playing in the league's worst weather hasn't hurt the Bills chances of signing players in UFA..........even in a system where the owners have much more control over players than they will in the future.........then you do you.    

 

To paraphrase Lee Smith on the sideline last game..........nobody likes being out in this sh*t.

 

The bills media dept made a video on preparing for the weather games.  One of the bills employees said “the players hate this weather”.  Hate.  Why would a player that hates the winter conditions choose to go play in arctic conditions?  It’s one of the reasons we had to say overpay for FAs in the past.  

Now that we have an elite QB//HC/GM players should be taking less to join this team.  Instead, we paid Emmanuel Sanders 8m.  Feliciano overpaid.   Klein overpaid, Norman overpaid, butler overpaid, addison overpaid, Quinton Jefferson overpaid, Matakavich overpaid.  All average ball players.  All overpaid.  We don’t even overpay for great players, we overpay for average joes.  All of those guys are just that….and overpaid.  
 

I don’t pay attention to the economic infrastructure and ongoings in Buffalo, so I can’t really comment on why the city/state wouldn’t want to build a roof, but I know why we should want to build a roof.  To watch better football, to sit comfortably and enjoy the game without being miserable.  So families can sit and enjoy the game (because most kids don’t want any part of sitting in that weather to watch football). So we can better attract free agents and keep our players.  So the stadium can be used for other things while being located in a city that is freezing cold almost half the year.  
 

Lee wasn’t just talking about the players.  Lots of people hate that weather. Oh well, it was fun thinking about while it lasted.  Maybe, if we lose to the jets today, the pendulum will start knocking again.
