A bad weather day could level the playing field. Take nothing for granted. Forecast for Sunday (right now) calls for temps near freezing, 30% of rain or snow, and winds in the teens.
Buffalo, as a market, can't make you enough money to invest in a billion+ dollar stadium. So it's pretty simple. If Buffalo wants to stay in the NFL it has to subsidize a stadium. No way around it.
You are already spending $1.5B. What's another half bil for a stadium that will enhance the team and the fan experience? Let me remind you "the future" is 5 years from now. We expect Josh Allen to be our QB for another 15 years. You don't want to give Josh a nice place to throw?
He's a fool then.
Colts game, pouring rain, L. Pats game, gale force winds, L. Both of those loses hurt us in playoff seeding. And who knows what next week is going to be like? We are a passing team. We want weather that doesn't take away our passing advantage.
Two weeks from now...home playoff game against the Pats...lake effect blizzard hits totally eliminating any passing game for both teams. Now it's run game vs run game...against the Pats. Can't wait, huh?
All bad weather does is reduce both teams to mediocrity. Unfortunately elite teams are brought down further. Hooray for us for winning but why would you want to inflict that on yourself?
