maryland-bills-fan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 You do know that the other team plays in the same weather. We do have several advantages when there is a lot of wind or weather. [1] Allen has the best arm in the game and his fast throws mean that the ball is in the air a shorter amount of time an the wind has less effect on it. [2] Wide receivers know where they are going and when they are going to make their break. Defensive backs have to respond immedialely and have more trouble shifting their weight to change direction. So they fall down or give a bigger cushion. Note that running backs do not have this advantage as they have to quickly respond to defensive players- so there is more a wash there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Bad weather, or more accurately stated HIGH WINDS are the Kryptonite to any passing game. This is particularly true when your passing game relies so heavily on WR production as the Bills does. Upgrade our RB's & TE's and the Buffalo offense will be very dangerous even on high wind days. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Weather is every team but the ravens and titans kryptonite and we beat the ravens anyway in bad weather lol Josh's arm strength is a huge advantage that allows you to actually pass the ball in winds like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Making an observation that is bared out by facts. The wind has affected Allen as it seemed so did the rain vs. Tenn & KC (yes slight injury too). I'd rather weather is not a factor (or excuse) on Sunday. Thought it was a significant factor vs. Baltimore. Looks okay Sunday. Edited January 19, 2021 by Billsfan1972 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It didn't rain against TN. It rained earlier and only had about 5 minutes of sprinkling in the 2nd quarter. The Bills weren't scared to throw the ball against NE the first game, the Pats played 7 DB's almost the entire game and we ran for almost 200 yards. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not an in-the-trenches team anymore. It seems unlikely that they'll dump a ton of money into the new one. A lot of soccer stadiums do the half-roof thing. A trend that never developed in the states, but seems applicable to Buffalo. It's cheaper, but still gives the fans some protection from the elements. I don't think temporary trends in how the team plays factor into the new stadium discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I remember reading something about the Bills stadium and the wind back in the 90’s. The article said that because the stadium is recessed in the ground that the wind goes over the top of the stadium and just barely hits the tops of the goal posts. I remember being in the top area on the 50 yard line and I got blasted by the wind. I also remember being in the front row on a similar windy day in the visitors end zone and barely feeling any wind. The QB, Kicker and punter would probably be the best people to ask about the crazy wind in that stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If Allen can teach himself the subtleties of throwing the football in that typical west-south westerly wind in Orchard Park (usually from November on)...it would be a huge home field advantage. When the winds whip up like that it's usually going towards the tunnel end. Those deeper passes need some touch because they carry. He needs to throw very high, let the wind take it and allow the WR to run under it. He can learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Bills Fan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 A while ago there was an idea to cover the existing stadium. I think it was like the old UB bubble...an inflated roof.
