Hmm, can it be the NFL calculates the increased odds they'd have to play on the road in conditions like that? BS. BFLo/OPark gets this by November. This year snow is later. I started working in Chicago: Nov. 2, 1992. I was shoveling snow my first day on job. And that's Chicago, which averages only 35"/year! Here this year, we've only had a dusting to 1" and that was yesterday! 3 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: But if they weren't "crap" and this game was required for them to make the playoffs or knock them out of contention, you would be happy that the conditions could have cost them a potential playoff spot and not the play on the field?

Fadingpain Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The reality is that a game like we had today is extremely rare. A crazy, lousy game like this every 15 years is no big deal. What is not rare is playing in a boring, sterile environment on a carpet if you have a dome stadium. Every game is totally in the wrong environment.

Andy1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 That game was beautiful today. What a memorable game. That is why I like football - the sport is not sanitized, weather is a factor. Granted, today was on the extreme end of the spectrum. I don't want every team to be playing in the same corporate sanitized dome. I hope we never have a dome. Likewise, Chicago, Greenbay and Miami should never have domes. Domes are like suburban sprawl - they all look the same everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 21 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: I agree with you here, that wasn't Football, and how would fans react if this team was actually expected to be contenders and lost a game like this because of a fluke play caused by the snow and they missed the playoffs because of it? The difference between the other teams in the north east not having domes and the Bills is that those teams don't have the stadium in a location thats known for getting hit with large amounts of lake effect snow. If a new stadium is built, it may mean a dome, partial roof, or location out of a snow belt. It has nothing to do with fans being wusses or "snowflakes" and more to do with being able to play proper football and not the mess that happened today. Its fun to watch, but not a great game thats decided by the skills of the players.

Nick the Greek Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Do any teams in the northeast play in domes? Id say no.. Pitt, Jets/Giants, Pats, Browns. Also other cold weather destinations Chicago and GB. The only playes are Indy and MN. Domes are weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about the offense for one week? At the end of the day its all opinion. In my opinion your memory is favorable bc we actually won. Watching that game, to me, was painful when players cant perform not even at 50% of their talent level; When an entire position (qb) is completely removed from both teams; and when neither team can execute its gameplan not bc of incompetence but bc of weather. There are only 16 games in a season and only 8 home games. To me, today was a waste of my money. I pay to watch top notch athletes perform; and not to watch a spectacle that amounts to not much more than a pee wee football game. Just my opinion.

BeginnersMind Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I’m shocked anyone would want a dome. Sure, if today’s game happened every week, it would suck. But it rarely happens and when it does embrace it. Buffalo = snow Suck it up buttercups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. At this point, I was hoping they'd lose out, and get a better position in the draft.....but someone said in here earlier this week, that the Bills are consistent at 7-9, or 8-8 or close to that, so they always are in the middle, which gets them no good picks, which continues the mediocrity.
