Why weren’t the Bills allowed to play on the grass?

I feel sorry for the fans that traveled to London.  They were great today; they showed up and were loud.  I want to stay excited for the giants game next week (driving up there from Virginia with a group) but it’s hard with the letdown today and all the injuries.  

Hats off to the amazing Bills fans in London today.  With that said I hope the Bills don't have to make this stupid trip for a very long time.

Does Miami play KC in Germany on a grass field or turf?

I guess it all depends what the “Bundesliga” wants.

They may have also switched footwear this week after playing there last week?

Idk, purely speculation.

I think they played in a different stadium last week.

Are they snobs like EPL?

Yes, they’re European.

I remember 2 seasons ago when people were praising our training staff because we were relatively healthy all year with the exception of Tre’s ACL.

 

If they deserved credit for player health, do they deserve criticism for the last season plus 5 games of injuries?

Thats what I was guessing but I don’t know much about that domain so I didn’t want to sound like an idiot.

 

Me neither... the avalanche of injuries was really, really awful to watch.

I was under the assumption all week we were playing on elite grass. Are you saying that we could have played on that but soccer said no, so we played on ***** turf? Is that really what happened?

The big issue is the Bills were sleep walking. That arriving early on Friday was the biggest problem. Stupid decision. 

I dot wanna compare myself to a world class athlete, but when I traveled to San Diego, it took me 3 full days before I felt back to normal. Bills shouldve left on Monday, not Thursday

I've taken a few red eyes back from Vegas. And I was a pos for a few days.

This is why I dislike McDermott..he has a long list of very questionable decisions as HC...as a DC I love him not as a HC though

Yeah, they should have touched down Wednesday. Practice Thursday & Friday, walk throughs on Saturday and be ready Sunday. 
 

Friday travel is nuts. One day rest essentially.

but Roger says the league is concerned about player safety. Goodell and the league are a joke.

I'm glad Goodell is not near me right now because I would probably have to go to jail

I guess it is more important that they wont have paint over the blue endzones. Money is more important than safety.

It's 7-5 in Denver

Can't have the fake futbol teams tear up that precious English soccer grass can we? Also I noticed jags spikes on their cleats were just nubs while Bill's had the longer spikes

The stadium is a grass stadium, yet we were forced to play on turf; which was apparently very hard.  
 

To make things worse, we may have lost some key players for the season as a result.  This has nothing to do with outcome of the game.  
 

Add in the NFLPA calling for grass fields, yet the NFL prioritizes their cash cow London games over player safety.  
 

If I’m the Bills, I lost a home game to that?  
 

If the Pegulas could, I’d hope they tell league to ***** off to future neutral site games 

If the Bills home field was natural grass,  these complaints might hold water, but when they play on turf at their home field (and have for decades), I don't get the complaints.
