without a drought Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Even if they were, which they weren't. Give it a F'n rest. Stop looking for perceived slights and trying to make nothing into something. It's a bad look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Game was a Buffalo informercial. That said, it’s hilarious how allllll week, every host on WGR talked about the “amazing” weather we’d have… then the day comes and the weather is an issue right out the gate.

What's next, Love Canal references? Did you watch any games last year or read any of the posts last year. The bad weather was a factor in many of them especially rain and wind. It was talked about a ton last year. The wind was a factor in this game as well. The Pats game was second coldest in franchise history but was tolerable with no precipitation and little wind. Its not a judgment against Buffalo. Just facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Why Miami (or those effected by the heat, wouldn't just install covered seats on opposing sidelines (or both) with ac or similar, I don't know. Should be mandated by the NFL. Been to a few baseball games in extreme heat & sun & that is too unbearable. Yes they mention the weather because it is worth mentioning and has affected way too many games. Even cold is fine if there is no wind. Wind creates havoc with the ball and makes things unpleasant.

JESSEFEFFER Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's a story within the context of how the game is played. Over it's history, Highmark/New Era/The Ralph/Rich Stadium must be one of the toughest places to kick/throw/catch the ball in the entire NFL. In the last game we saw 2 botched kick returns, a misplayed punt return, a blocked kick into the wind and two Chris Boswell missed FGs.

blacklabel Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Every game broadcast has a list of talking points these guys are supposed to hit. It's irritating sometimes when they keep trying to create a narrative that isn't there, though. Was it a little windy out there? Sure. But they were kinda playing it up like there were typhoon-style winds going on and we were all gonna get swept away to Oz or something. Nothing will ever top the Bruschi Play Counter from years ago. Good lord that was the worst game broadcast in history. Edited October 11, 2022 by blacklabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord that was the worst game broadcast in history. It is a narrative. I can't stand that almost weekly weather in a Bills game is a talking point. Three games already this year weather was a factor to some extent (Miami, Baltimore & Pitt) and may or may not have paid some factor. Last year two losses were weather related (Tenn & NE). And yes Orchard Park seems to be affected way too much. Is any team as affected by weather more so then Buffalo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHateMe Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 No defending it, the weather has been a** for the past year for every home game just about... with some extreme games mixed in like vs NE.

Low Positive Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I'm just going to keep posting this in every thread complaining about announcers. The hostile media effect is a perceptual theory of mass communication that refers to the tendency for individuals with a strong preexisting attitude on an issue to perceive media coverage as biased against their side and in favor of their antagonists' point of view. Partisans from opposite sides of an issue will tend to find the same coverage to be biased against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Oh come on!

DrDawkinstein Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I mean, more often than not, Buffalo weather does suck. I dont remember the announcing crew being harsh on Buffalo about it tho.
