Did you ever play sports? When it was raining or snowing, we just got that much more pumped. Personally, I prefer no elements so that 1. Teams can play to full potential and 2. People can comfortably watch them. I get why some people like the elements though. I am too old and too disabled for that stuff anymore and like I said, I like to watch teams play to the full potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Oh, playing football in the rain on a real turf field that turns to mud is a riot. But I'm with Scott, I no longer like going to games in the elements, especially when you have family members along complaining the whole way...haha.

No one in Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Foxboro, KC, Seattle, etc has complained about their team not playing to full potential when at their peaks.

Well my original point was crap weather = you better be able to run the ball......and stop it. Against meh defenses or teams that don't have hall of fame QBs and elite rookie RBs where you know they're going to be grinding it out, I probably don't sweat it at all.... Don't take this team lightly. Our D better be in full run stop mode and prepared for a QB that won't go longer then 2.1 seconds to get rid of the ball. Build a freaking dome! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the teams playing against those teams you listed that lose when playing in these stadiums? Are they playing to their full potential too, or are the elements having a positive effect for the home team? You can't have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elements effect both teams. The reality is that better teams win and worse teams lose. The weather complaint is purely driven by fan watching experience and nothing else.

I'm sure there are cases where the exact same gameday rosters of 3 teams played each other at various points in the season, leading to a situation where A beat B, B beat C, and C beat A. Who's the better team in that example? Or when two divisional teams split their divisional games. Or in 1990, when the Bills beat the Giants in the regular season, but the Giants beat the Bills in the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further proof that simply playing in a dome out of the elements doesn't mean your team plays to its full potential, voiding that whole argument. It's like "Oh man, good thing the Super Bowl is in the Georgia Dome because that means the K-Gun will be unstoppable!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a permanent rule in the CBA through 2030 to get gameday active rosters increased. Makes it less of a game of attrition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
