Go ahead....call me a wimp. I sold my ticket because I don't wanna be too cold and would rather sit in my warm living room. Come on lay into me people. Make me buy a ticket again

 

if you don't mind me asking, what did you get for it? The pairs on either side of my seats are on TM for ~$550/ticket...

being hit while playing in the cold I've been told by previous athletes hurts a lot more. Hit him and hit him some more then. That would be sweet . 

 

We rarely punish QB’s when they run. It’s one of my biggest gripes with our defense. I would be instructing our runners to level Mahomes, Lamar, etc when they run. I’ll take the 15 yard penalty a few times.

 

I’m not worried about them retaliating and trying to level our tank of a QB. If anything, i’d be more worried about tendons and ligaments in cold weather (they become more stiff and have less ability to stretch).

The tickets in the section I had were going for around 160. I sold it for $155 but only got $140 from ticketmaster or stubhub because they charged me a resale fee. Only issue is, I have to wait until 7 days after the game to get my money for it which is stupid.

Looks like weather will be very similar to the Pats game this year, which was one of our worst game of the season on offense. Though I think that's more coincidence, not sure how much of that was actually due to the cold. 

 

I really think that was a massive letdown game after the big emotional Detroit victory.  The Bills just went through the motions in the first half.  Josh has proven he can literally play a perfect game in freezing cold.

 

A cold game for the Ravens in Baltimore is in the low 30's.  I live near there.  They don't play in teens or single digit games.  It's a different kind of cold in WNY.  Lamar will hate these conditions.  The ball won't come out of his hand like it normally does.  The Ravens receivers will not catch the ball as cleanly as they normally do.  The Bills need to execute in "our" conditions better than Baltimore and I think they will.

Tackling that freight train known as Derrick Henry is going to suck in cold weather.

Just don’t let him get going-  

 

I’m operating under the assumption that we will have a solid game plan to disrupt them early and often.  It has to happen

And along that same line of thinking, if the opportunity is there, our D should make it a point to hit Lamar on every read option, whether he keeps it or not. Every. Time. I thought Watt and the OLB missed several golden opportunities to do just that last Saturday.

So he only has 1 loss when games are below freezing?  Point is you can try to spin that however, sample size is not there to draw any conclusions.

 

In all these years he’s only played 2 games below freezing? I’m not arguing, but that seems almost impossible.  🤷‍♂️

I think Buffalo is a good 9-10 degrees colder on average in January than anywhere else Lamar is likely to play so you never know.  Crazy stat but there’s a chance it’s legit 

 

im gonna fact check myself on this but I think Buffalo is probably the second coldest city where people play outdoors with Green Bay being number 1

I mean them rarely ever playing in games that cold is significant…their receivers don’t have the best hands in normal weather.  The bills play in it a good amount and know what to expect.  Might not be a big advantage for the home team but it is one

With weather like this, maybe they should have considered a temp controlled dome for the new stadium. Not sure if this has been discussed before. I can start a thread if needed. 

Wow. If only 🤔

I thought you had me but allegedly Chicago is a degree or two warmer on average in January 😂. Totally forgot about them though lol 

 

I go to Chicago most summers and it’s hot as hell so they didn’t even cross my mind for cold

It's not actually. Avg Jan temp there is 32/22 for high/low and Buffalo is 31/20.

 

Also not windier either. And definitely not snowier 😂

lol we are all mostly friends here. I don't hate that you are cold temperature intolerant. I am the same way with pool water. I'm a Firm 78 degrees or I am not entering NOPE

 

But for me being in orchard park for a playoff game (a dream scenario) I don't know how much anti freeze I'd be inbibing. B ut I doubt I would be feeling any pain.

 

Also Preparation matters. I would even post a thread asking  for a socal persons need to buy recommendation list for sitting outside in the cold.

 

No  doubt I would get great responses.

 

peace bro/sis GO BILLS. m

It could be anywhere. Cincinnati showed me the coldest weather I’ve ever experienced. The freezing mark is not terribly rare, and it just seems odd that Lamar could have played only 2 games below freezing. Regardless, I’ll take any advantage we can get.

Buffalo is listed as 2nd coldest city with Foxboro actually being 3rd. GB obviously first. 

 

Combined with everything...cold, snow, wind, Buffalo is the runaway winner in worst weather stadium for football tho...followed by GB and then Cleveland
