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. Looks like there might be rain in the forecast.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 40% and low winds, which seems fine. 23 minutes ago, Buffalo Boy said: Josh has improved his weaknesses every year. Do you think he, Daboll and Diggs haven’t already discussed working on this? It's a weakness with most QB's (bad weather), however it really affects the Bills offence more at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Baltimore game was more of an 'underestimating how bad the wind would be' type scenario...we probably expected the ravens to come out and play a lot of man and blitz like they usually do which would give us lots of single coverage deep shots but that one open look diggs had where the ball got blown 10 yards to the right was a wakeup call for both teams...second half we were focusing on short to intermediate routes and having success 13 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: When you were conducting your research, how did you control for all possible variables, other than weather, to reach this conclusion? Yea im not sure it affected us more...we could really load up on the run because lamar isn't a great passer in even normal conditions but the threat of him passing is certainly there in decent weather I think our first matchup with kc and the ten game was more about Josh's injury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo drove down and scored to go up 7 - ran almost 6 minutes off the clock. Baltimore drove down and threw a pick 6 to go down 14 - but also ran almost 9 minutes off the clock. Buffalo then got the ball at the start of the 4th quarter and ran another 5 minutes off the clock. They ended up punting as they were in a poor down and distance in baltimore territory - but up 14. The 1st and 2nd down calls had nothing to do with wind - the QB sweep was snuffed out and the mckenzie pass didn't work. Next possession they were in FG territory and tried to run clock. But this is a successful possession in a 2 score game - no points, 5 minutes off the clock, pinned them at the 10. If baltimore had scored on any of their 2nd half possessions i think buffalo's offense is opened up a bit more. But they didn't Edited January 19, 2021 by dneveu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Weather is an issue only because we don't run the ball well...and our defense had struggled. Defense much better now so it's even play ground this weekend. And on O...more designed QB runs is what I expect to soften them up regardless of weather and a short passing game.

We're not an in-the-trenches team anymore. Retractable would be ideal. A lot of beautiful fall days for football, heck even Indy game was sunny and pleasant in January.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think this Bills have no running game thing is a lot like the Bills have no run defense thing. Singletary is not some 3.2 ypc career runner. He’s an average NFL running back and capable of 4.0 ypc plus. Same with Yeldon. Where the running game has consistently looked bad is on 3rd-1 and 4th-1 where this line gets no push and the Bills lose yards every time. I agree with other fans that state the Bills need to run a smidge more for this game, but I still expect a 75/25, 80/20 pass-run ratio. Daboll has said many times that they trust Allen with the ball in his hands and that’s where they want that ball to stay. For sure Daboll and McDermott are thinking about every scenario and combing through every bit of game film to see where the advantages lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You really think passing and high scoring offenses are a temporary trend in the NFL? The players will be wearing flags and playing with a nerf ball before they go back to ground and pound, dude..........mom's just ain't signing their kids up for that game anymore.

Here's my thoughts on a dome... They played football in middle school and high school... outdoors. They played football in college - most likely outdoors (at least likely the majority of games). Why do they move to all indoor games in the pros? It's an outdoor game, its played in the fall and winter, and the fans tend to like that weather aspect of it.

Nextmanup Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Actually, bad weather at home Bills playoffs games has historically been our ally, definitely not our kryptonite. Including this year. No reason why the weather shouldn't impact US as much as, or more than, our opponents, but it has never really worked out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
