Always harder to go from West to East. They're in Buffalo/Orchard Park at the moment, but their bodies aren't going to want to sleep at 1000h. Morning shows up awfully early. Wonder if they're all on Ambien? Throw in the fact that two of their receivers were tending bar at Casey's Grill last year, and the Bills look to be in good shape.

VOR Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why is that? They're professionals who are experts in traveling clear across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why is that? They're professionals who are experts in traveling clear across the country. They're professionals. That the part with which I'll agree. Experts in traveling across country? NO ONE is an expert in traveling across country. Least of all these kids. They're in their 20s, they land in Buffalo (with no transfer, assuming they took the charter) after a 5 hour flight, and it feels like three hours ago with regards to their body clock. No harm, no foul. Until they try to go to sleep. Presto. It's still three hours behind. 10:00 P.M. feels like 7:00 P.M., 11:00 P.M. feels like 8:00 P.M., etc. That's fine until you have to wake up. Then things start to suck a lot. Don't get me wrong - I'm not expecting the entire Frappacinos team to miss the bus to the stadium. I'm not expecting ANYONE to miss the bus to the stadium. But I can assure you it's not a good feeling in the morning to come from PDT to EDT and expect to function at 100%. Maybe at 96%. 4% means a lot at this level. Even to professionals.

VOR Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I was being facetious. I said the same thing (i.e. that traveling cross-country would mess with them) and got jumped by a couple posters. The record pretty much speaks for itself, since the Hawks have been a pretty good team under Holmgren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My secondary point is that it's usually easier to go East-to-West. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
