No. The equivalent comparison would be that the Bills have an enclosed sideline that is somehow naturally heated, while the Dolphins sit exposed to the freezing temperatures and snow and the Bills say sorry you cant use heated benches or giant heaters because we don't. Its just a dumb advantage that is going to get someone hurt. Players should have adequate respite on the sideline. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings beat MIA playing in the same circumstances. Do you not see the hypocrisy? Did you read what I wrote. They were NOT playing tin the same circumstances. One team has natural shade and 30 degree difference whereas the other team doesn't. Why is that so hard to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and no Tua It was 123F on the Viking sideline in the 2nd half. It's fully sunny outside my window right now, even though it's 48F. One poses a player safety risk, the other has the sun out.

That the Vikings are? The season is going great and your being sarcastic about the one, flukey loss, why? Don’t you have anything better to do?

The Vikings faced practically the same temperature circumstance and won. Don't make excuses. Life isn't fair. @Warcodered We had a "cold" front sweep through here so the dew point was much lower for the Vikings game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings beat MIA playing in the same circumstances. Do you not see the hypocrisy? The temperature was A reason for the struggles in Miami. Not the sole reason. Other reasons include making elementary mistakes (The Vikings also suffered from this), coming off a short week (not an issue for the Vikings) and missing an extraordinary number of players in the secondary (not an issue for The Vikings). And yet they still only beat us by one score. The underlying problem is heat stroke is a serious condition but it’s just being written off as “home field advantage”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different circumstance than having one team deal with 30 degree higher temperatures than the other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 22 minutes ago, What a Tuel said: Its not about winning or losing. The bills very nearly won too. Its just a stupid idea to have one shaded sideline and one not, and then say you cant have tents or any shade because we don't use it. The Miami coaches and players had no influence on the stadium being configured that way. I railed against this after the Bills played there, but you can’t really blame those that decided to set it up this way, with the home team in the shade. Baseball teams do this also with the placement of the dugouts, although those players have some cover and they can sit. As you mentioned, the real issue is player safety being disregarded with respect to protection from the elements, in this case being the heat and humidity. Nobody should be forced to endure 120 degree temps without some protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pegulas should use their fracking experience to find a geothermal vent to build the new stadium in an orientation that it naturally heats the Bills' sideline in the sub-zero winter.

BillsFanSD Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Do we actually know for sure that that temperature reading is accurate? I don't know that human beings -- even NFL athletes -- are capable of doing anything in 120 degree weather. I have five marathons under my belt (none terribly recent -- I'm past my racing days) and I wouldn't bother going out for even a short run in those conditions. Neither would any other serious runner. My money is on "broken thermometer." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they can decline visitor sideline from using tents, misting benches etc even if they bring their own, so long as their side don't use them. It just so happens they don't have to use them because their side is shaded and 30 degrees cooler. They did decline the Bills from utilizing them when we played.

Augie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 26 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Dopey, NFL rules mandate if one side got heaters or for the matter coolers/fans, other side gets equal access to same but they positioned the field in Miami so the Dolphins get natural shade and the visitors dont. Every game in Miami in Sept and October should start at 4 if not a night game. OR, at the very least, the rules need to be altered to allow shade on the visitors side. To argue the home team didn’t use tents is ridiculous. THEY WERE IN THE SHADE. One team gets shade? BOTH teams get shade. It’s an unfair advantage, period. I’m not whining about losing that game. In a way, I’m kind of glad we lost and eliminated the “perfect season” pressure. But every single early season 1:00pm game provides an advantage to the home team, and could result in serious injury/illness or even death. If you think that is fair and safe, DC Tom wouldn’t even waste keystrokes on you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Bills losing and the Vikings winning is completely irrelevant in this discussion. The condition is very unsafe for players on that sideline. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
