ganesh Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Bills defense appeared to be flat in the 4th quarter in the humid South Florida weather and were gassed by long drives by the Dolphins. Will the defense be able to stay physically strong through 4 quarters in a similar environment in Central Florida. It is a huge change to the body to train in sub-zero temp in Buffalo and then go play in 70 degree weather in Jacksonville. Our hope is to run the football and control the Time of Possession so that our defense remains strong and not fatigued. They have to figure out a way to get off the field after 3rd downs.

You're aware that the fieldhouse is climate controlled, yes? This isn't Rocky, they aren't training in a meat cooler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 But what about the humidity? Elevation? Coriolis effect? North Korea? So many factors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 LOL it's likely to be in the 40s or 50s on Sunday in Jacksonville. I think the better question is how the Jags will handle the cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigs Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Jacksonville is northern Florida. It’s not going to be 70 on gameday....it’s going to be snowing in Tampa within the next few days. It’s going to be somewhere between 50-70 down here so I’m assuming Jax will be 40-60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 1 hour ago, LeGOATski said: But what about the humidity? Elevation? Coriolis effect? North Korea? So many factors. Coriolis only effects long time of flight plays, like field goals over 40 yards, long passes and kickoffs. The Bills have bigger problems with short time of flight, non Coriolis kicks, like on-side kicks. So that will be something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It's gonna be a home game for the Bills, I think they win it by picking off Bottles 2 or 3 times. Assuming McCoy is able to play some role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming McCoy is able to play some role. If Shady's ankle was broken, he wouldn't miss this. Knowing our luck, Bortles will turn into the next coming of Joe Montana and throw for 350 yards and 4 TD passes.
