Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I heard Beane on OBL (I think it was) say that the analytics show it's better to go home and back. Interesting that the Bills' assessment differs from other teams. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 When I traveled to the west coast going that way was much easier than coming home. Pushing my schedule back 3 hours was simply going to bed a little later one night,coming back was 3 days of moving the bed time an hour each day. So for Bills going West each time is not as bad.

Must be something about them feeling that maintaining the “normal” weekly plan as close as possible is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commuted coast to coast for a few months and it wasn't that hard. I'd much rather fly twice than have to spend the week in a hotel away from home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think its better to come home so hurt/ injured players can receive treatment. I also think sleeping in your own bed for a week is better than sleeping in a hotel room. I travelled a lot on business trips in the 80's and 90's and couldn't wait to get home to sleep in my own bed. Like Buffalo Timmy said going East to West is a lot easier to adjust to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishRifle Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think the decision was directly tied to our multi-million dollar training facility to help the players recover and receive treatment. Ten to 14 days without access to your state of the art treatment facilities could put you in a huge hole for the rest of the season. Makes perfect sense to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I didn’t quite understand it, but if Beane did the math, I trust him on going back and forth. It’s not like they are flying commercial or have a stop. They also don’t necessarily have red eye flights which for me is the worst with corporate travel. My home office and was in Mgmt for years was in CA for two companies. Bottom line is I can’t sleep on planes so I’m worthless the next day. If you’re on a private jet, non stop, a five hour flight at most, and in you’re own bed makes sense to me. Staying in a hotel for over a week sucks not to mention, most players feel like they were in car crash each week so that makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 From most reports, what a number of players used to do post home game during the Super Bowl years was far more damaging than a five hour snooze in an airplane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This is all about wanting access to their own wellness facilities. The Bills continue to be at the top of the league in injury recovery and maintenance of health, and a lot of that is due to the facilities. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean - you're there for a few days - i don't see the need to stay there for 2 weeks to play in vegas and then in arizona. Vegas is a 6 hour flight, and I probably want to travel on friday - do my walk through early saturday and then lock them in their rooms lol. Catch a late flight home sunday night and take monday off. Back at it on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In baseball all they always are off even they travrl 3 time zones from west to east because of body clock being out of whack for games. since football isn’t a night game traveling is easier where you can keep your team on the same body clock there would be problems if east coast games started at 9am or west coast games at 10pm locally.

papazoid Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Rams are apparently a little irritated by one part of the Patriots' 2020 schedule In Week 13, the Patriots will be traveling to Los Angeles to face the Chargers, which means they won't have to travel anywhere to face the Rams, because they'll already be in Los Angeles. On the other hand, the Rams have to travel to Arizona in Week 14, which means they have to get on a plane on Sunday night, which is something the Patriots won't have to do. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rams-are-apparently-a-little-irritated-by-one-part-of-the-patriots-2020-schedule/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, the Rams play the Cards week 13 (12/6) and have to suffer the 90 minute flight home Sunday night to LA then square off with the Pats on 12/10. WRT west coast games, I'm of the mind that ya fly there Saturday, try to keep your EST bedtime, play, then fly back probably Monday morning. Though I don't suffer jet lag much on the times I've flown West so I'm not a good judge of what's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not whiny - He is the "T*m Br*dy" brandy of competitiveness I have been told. And with airport checks, etc it is probably as fast to drive. I have driven it from game before.

Driving it, compared to what they do, is not comparable. 2 hours ago, GaryPinC said: WRT west coast games, I'm of the mind that ya fly there Saturday, try to keep your EST bedtime, play, then fly back probably Monday morning.

Not being difficult with specific needs makes it a heck of a lot more likely that you get fewer teams coming off byes, etc. Their goal is to balance all that stuff out when they build the schedule...start adding stipulations and it's such a complicated thing that you start having to play multiple teams off byes potentially to accomodate the other stuff...i mean that's an assumption, but I'll stand by it big time.
