Do they have planes built like that available for charter?

 

While NFL teams may make a ton of money its still much harder to justify buying or paying to have a plane setup for this for a total of maybe a dozen trips a year

Yes

Mine told me a 747 needs 10200 feet to takeoff fully loaded, BUF main runway is less than 9000 feet.  

There are ways to get past any obstacle if you want to.  They shouldn't be sitting in small seats. I don't know which is worse- on the way to the game getting stiff or for a sore body coming  home.

Yes

 

I assure you, that was NOT my plane yesterday. I might be sad to land in that thing!

At least three teams...the Dolphins, Ravens and Broncos flew on the Atlas 747 to BUF.  Those clubs took their L's and flew out of BUF fully loaded with players, staff and their luggage plus fuel,, so it can be done.   Obviously they don't need to max out the fuel load to those cities but the runway is long enough for their needs.  Since Miami got an A for travel I assume the Atlas 747 is configured better for the large football humans.

Dolphins finally won something.

First of all, these things feel like course evaluations, which are an airing of greviences. Secondly, the Bills charter Delta commercial airliners, so, of course, players have to ride coach. The Fins charter a plane for the entire season that is configured better for the team with larger seats and a consistent crew (https://simpleflying.com/miami-dolphins-atlas-air-boeing-747/). That is the reason for the rating. The training staff complaints are probably why the head athletic trainer got the axe. 

Terry is Cheap! LOL

Kim Pegula's absence from her leadership role is a significant loss.

Piss and moan, piss and moan. As DeNiro said, "shut your pie hole(s)"...

It’s very low considering the Bills are a winning team. John Harbaugh being that low is surprising also.

 

Also strength coaches got a F- in 2023. That’s interesting. It’s gone up.

Eagles were 22 and the SB champs

I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for multi millionaires flying coach.

You've seen the size of these guys right? Be 6'8" 300 lbs and sit in coach. Millionaire or not it sucks.

 

Now do that right after you just got banged around by other people that size for three hours.

 

This, for me, is a no brainier and something the team can 100 percent fix.

And if it's truly an issue they can fly in and out of Niagara Falls. The airfield is PLENTY long enough to handle anything there.

Coddled. 😂

Well maybe that's because you're not 6'6" and weigh 350 and just finished playing an NFL game in the trenches and have to sit for 3+ hours in coach.

 Not head coach.

The Eagles were 22nd and the Cheifs were 26th. No way any of these teams will win a superbowl like this.

They may be limited by the runways at the Buffalo airport. The Fins charter a 747. I doubt that could land there.

Fly out of Niagara Falls … they were able to handle the big birds there

Beane questioned the validity of the survey, the F- in particular:

 

"My question is how many people actually completed this survey? This is the problem when you do anonymous surveys. Are we talking about six people, 12 people? You're talking about we have 70-something players when you count our practice squad and beyond. So, it's really hard to ascertain who gave the F-minus for their plane travel. Ultimately, we love feedback, but we're not getting that in the building..."
