This reminds me of when someone accidentally includes the full company email list on a dumb email and we get 1000 responses telling everyone (else) to STOP REPLYING ALL!

 

We've gotten better at managing those lately, I kind of miss the reply allpocalypse

That’s absolutely hilarious! I had a partner that would do that all the time. He retired before we could train him out of it! 😂

I've seen the response change a lot in the (almost 20!) years I've worked in IT.  It used to basically just run its course, and would basically ***** up everyone's email for half a day, or how ever long it took for all the dummies to respond (sometimes more than once.)

These days I think the email Admins must be able to quickly disable an email list when something like this pops up, and usually they're shut down before they really start.

How is a new Buffalo Bills stadium exciting? The New York State taxpayers are funding $850 million dollars $600 million state, $250 million Erie County and the Bills fans are going to be asked to pay more money for the same NFL product they see now with there own public money. Along with still freezing at games because Bills PSE ownership who makes some where in the neighborhood give or take $77 million dollars profit a year off the Bills last year I get that number from the Green Bay Packers community ownership report doesn’t want to contribute money towards a dome for the new Bills stadium. Again how is it exactly exciting news for the Bills fans? The Buffalo Bills were never going anywhere the NFL wasn’t moving the Bills because of a number of reasons too many to mention. We were negotiating against ourselves and our community got ripped off by the other NFL owners and PSE ownership that as a Bills fan isn’t exciting but each there own carry on in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

The reason there won’t be a dome is because Bills fans are knuckleheads. We think we’re tougher than everyone else. The majority of fans don’t want a dome. I think building a new stadium without a dome is stupid. I can’t believe they’re actually going to do it. 
 

I don’t care about the tax dollars because the small amount I’ll be be paying over 30 years is well worth it. As for the Pegulas, as long as they keep spending there are no issues. They do their part.

Football is an outdoor sport. Stop sterilizing the game. It's not about being tough for the fans. The elements are supposed to be a factor and that's part of what makes the game interesting. But so many fans aren't interested unless the score is 45-38 or whatever.

Is that why every major game from college on is played in either a dome or warm weather state?

 

Fans want elements. Players don't.

 

Elements cause additional risk for injury for players.

And if they keep dumping out huge bonus money to push cap into the future so we can win then it’ll all be worth it.

I can appreciate the clamoring for a dome but people act like it’s the new normal. If you extend a radius out from WNY you’ll find there are very few domed NFL stadiums in the immediate vicinity and all of them are much, much newer than Rich Stadium. 
 

Cleveland

Cincinnati

Pittsburgh

New York

Chicago

Philadelphia

Washington

New England 

 

Only Indianapolis, Detroit and Minneapolis have indoor stadiums. 
 

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but the trend seems to be to build covered or indoor stadiums where it’s HOT…not where it’s COLD. (Texas, Arizona, Los Angeles)

This ownership was never going to pay the extra for a dome, cooked up "survey" (of STH only) or not. 

 

Relying on a real survey, this stadium would never have been built at all--it was wildly unpopular statewide:  63% agaisnt: https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/new-york/siena-college-poll-nyers-approve-of-suspending-gas-tax-disapprove-funding-for-new-bills-stadium-new-york-state/71-835ac455-783a-45d9-9c34-6652035d6c95

I wanted a dome. I’m over it. I read the new stadium will be fully enclosed with a canopy. It’ll be much better vs the elements then the current stadium.

 

Not indoor but much better.

The best coaches plan for bad weather and adjust their game as much as possible. 

 

The amount of games played in absolutely adverse weather each season isn't worth the expense of a dome.  It's really for fan comfort. PSE didn't want to kick in for the extra comfort.

That’s BS imo. Weather is the great equalizer in football. 
 

Every bad team Josh Allen faces hopes the weather is terrible. I use to feel that way when we faced better QBs when the Bills were bad.

I just said that.  So weaker teams need to plan to use it to their advantage (see:  Bills v NE 2021).  The wind equalized the offenses by taking away the passing advantage of the Bills.

Which weakens your highest paid players on offense. It’s just a fact. Last year’s Buffalo weather was probably the worst weather I can remember. I don’t think it’ll be that bad every year but when you have a $40+ million  QB and $20+ million WR you want to see them do what they do best. It’s not hand off and block.

Josh Allen wasn’t “weakened” ever last season.  The Bills were simply outcoached in that one game.  Never changed their game plan despite unusually high winds gf precasted well before kickoff.

 

They aren’t crying about paying Rodgers 50 million to play in the Green Bay weather.  
 

It’s an extremely weak argument

You missed a lot of games. Atlanta was probably his worst game the last 3 years.

Omg ... that is all about keeping the field of play frozen. They need to maintain that block of ice in a controlled environment. That's not for the fans' comfort.

The more Josh plays in the Buffalo elements, the better he will get at working within them.

It will become a big advantage, especially with QBs like Herbert and Tua coming to town.

Wait, is this true? So like SoFi stadium? Open air, out of the elements but still ambient temperature.  That might be a good compromise. 

 

I was at SoFi last week in conditions that were probably about the warmest it will ever be at that stadium. No A/C in the stadium but honestly it wasn't that bad. It was warm but nothing you couldn't handle for three hours.
