corta765 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This is not a post to complain about our weather as much as just the fact I can't remember a season with so many games regularly played in legitimately crappy conditions.

HardyBoy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 2019 was worse. You know, the year JA was awful throwing deep suddenly, and then 2020 mostly perfect weather and really solid deep game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I was at the Bills Raiders playoff game - coldest in franchise history. I was also at the Bills Arizona Cardinals game that was hit with insane winds. Those were the two worst home weather games I can recall until this year's New England home game. Bills Colts with Peterman at QB, KB at WR, and Shady scoring in OT has to be up there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less if it is cold as we are up north, but this year has been unseasonably heavy with strong weather be it wind, rain, or snow. 11 minutes ago, Big Turk said: Bro...if you thought the Falcons game was heavy snow, I'm not sure what to tell you.

It was a consistent factor in the game, the had the guys cleaning the field etc.. I have lived here my entire life I get it is not a foot of snow, but it still was a legit condition that had an impact. 52 minutes ago, HardyBoy said: 2019 was worse.

Ray Stonada Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 We’ve always had cold, windy games in December. I was at the home game in the 90s against the Jets, high of 0 with wind chill of -30. What’s new is all the rain in the October and November games. That’s a newer pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 It’s been a worse than normal weather year for Bills home games and it definitely hurt the offensive numbers, but the team’s (and Josh’s) worst performance of the year was on a picture perfect day in Jacksonville.

Go figure. Lol yea it’s definitely way more offensive line dependent than weather dependent. Falcons game is a bit of an outlier with good offensive line performance and a bad performance from the qb as 2 of those picks really were the right decision and looked reasonably well thrown we just got unlucky with a tipped pass and clueless refs 😂 Edited January 4, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Bill Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 1 man's bad is another man's good. As a fan some if the most memorable games was barrel fires, beer in a snow bank, carrying cardboard for your feet, a few extra shots of JD, heated socks, new torque, hot sausage on bbq, chili, long underwear, extra sweaters. This was the thing that made Bills fans special, like Green Bay. Let it snow, let it blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I've been to almost all the games this year. One thing I can't get over is how underdressed some fans are.

Since1981 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) We are just noticing bad conditions more because we have a modern, quality team, great QB, group of good receivers. Exaggerates our focus maybe. We have evolved beyond “ground and pound” (aka our passing game sucks) Oct 9, 2001 Cleveland a 6-3 over Buffalo. T Edwards/ M Lynch We had a good running back !!?? it was miserable weather, and worst game ever. “In-Josh-We-Trust 2022” Edited January 5, 2022 by Since1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it snow, let it blow My point isn't as much the weather in terms of complaint as just in general its been unusually active compared to the years I have gone in the past. I love a nice 35 degree day with a touch of snow. Works for me and I am comfy. 15 hours ago, SectionC3 said: Second worst weather I recall. 07 giants was the absolute pits. Coldest game I have been to was 2016 Steelers. It was like 3 degrees at 8 am with -2 wind chill and the beer was freezing playing pong in the cups. It was to the point the coolers with ice were warmer then the outdoors. Add it a nice blustery snow it was pretty narly. Worst weather I have been at was either the Colts game this year were it just wouldn't stop raining throughout with the wind or the Pats in 2016 at home which was a washout also. I thankfully avoided the Pats night game this year (wife went lucky her haha) and she was also at the Giants game in 07. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
