BeastOfTheEast Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 the heat and humidity of Tampa. Remember two seasons ago when the Bills ran roughshod over the Jags, in Jax, in week#2? And, it wasn't like western NY didn't experience a hot summer....in fact it was VERY hot and humid....not unlike Florida weather. Weather will not be a factor in this game. The Bills are well conditioned and look for them to win a defensive struggle down in Tampa on Sunday.
Cmichael91 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 The amount of money these guy's make, the great physical condition their in and with the hydration measure's they take before game time there should be no reason why weather plays a factor in their play on the field. It's been a pretty hot summer, I think the Bill's are set and wont have to worry about weather.
bobblehead Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I thought half our team came from Miami U anyway?
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I thought half our team came from Miami U anyway? 441007[/snapback] Nope Miami U is in ohio...we have players from the university of miami...just bustin yer balls

If the players over-hydrate all week, it should give them plenty of hydration for during the game. Fact is, the Bills are MORE TALENTED than the Bucs at just about every position. They will win this game.

Between 1/3 of the players puking for a week, another 1/3 on the can for a week straight, and the other 1/3 with their intestines bound in a tight knot and in the hospital, all the Bills would have left are Lindell (known to hate Retatta) and the practice squad (not allowed to eat Retatta - "haven't earned it, Rookie")! Bad things man. Bad things. Dave.
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I'm wondering in the wake of the televised special about huge NFL players, and the effects of their weight on their health. Do we have guys who are close to being over their weight limit. The assertion by ESPN in the special was that they tend to dehydrate themselves to avoid being fined for being overweight. Do coaches relax the restrictions in a week like this, or could this be a problem?
1959BillsFan Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 BOE, I followed you. I hope you don't mind. IMHO, I think really the only place that weather and environment becomes a factor is Mile High Stadium, Denver. The players not used to the thin air become oxygen deprived and the kicks sail further. As far as heat and humidity goes, McGahee, Moulds, grew up down there and spend their off season conditioning down there. They should have some pointers if the players are concerned about playing in those conditions.
1959BillsFan Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 WOW, the responses actually update in here and darned fast might I add.
sillyeddie Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 WOW, the responses actually update in here and darned fast might I add. 441249[/snapback] I especially don't think heat is a factor for a Bills team so recently removed from the sweltering days of training camp. I mean it's still hot and sticky around HERE. Maybe playing in the heat in November and December might be more of a change.
BB27 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I suspect the IV's will be running at halftime. Nothing hydrates you as quick!
