Billsfan1972 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) We play in Miami when weather here is still pleasant and the last 6 games are all against north eastern teams where the elements could play a factor. Actually the whole season was played vs. teams in cold weather markets (except Miami & LA). Bills fans should savour back to back weeks @ Ford Field. Anyone else have a schedule as bad as Buffalo's? BTW Bass would be unstoppable kicking indoors. Edited November 21, 2022 by Billsfan1972 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I agree. I know a lot of fans think we have a home field advantage with the snow and cold but i’m not so sure. We are the not the 70’s Steelers. We are a passing offense that relies on crisp routes and clean fields. 4 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Knowing McDermott, I feel like they'll have something special for Miami. No way they just try a fry the bills in Miami and the bills don't have some kind of subtle jab to get them back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast weather could be a big advantage vs Miami…they don’t run the ball particularly well and tua doesn’t have a lot of arm strength to throw in the wind. The jets we should really be beating in any situation…if edmunds and Milano play I don’t see us losing that one. NE I’m not sure what to think about. Their running game seems pretty average this year I think we picked up klein so we can run some 4-3 without 2 godawful linebackers being on the field if one of edmunds/Milano is injured. We’ve been trapped in the nickel a few games because of that i think the panic after the browns game is somewhat of an overreaction…they’ve got a bad record but that offense is in the top 5 in the league in yards per game and we played them missing a handful of high impact defensive players Edited November 21, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I think the Bills front office needs to make deals for outdoor events at the stadium prior to when schedule is formulated which would limit number of days during later months. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love watching games and being comfortable and knowing the elements don't play a huge part in the outcome. Anyone who liked the NE game in OP last year has got to be kidding. Also the Baltimore game weather was a factor as was Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kelly era Bills could run the ball when they needed to, which is a big reason why they won at home in the cold and the wind. They were built for the wintry weather.

LabattBlue Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I am not sure if the owner has any input into schedule preferences(I think they can at least make some requests), but it is idiotic that the Bills play at Miami early, and here in Buffalo late. It should always be Miami here in Sep/Oct, and at Miami in Nov/Dec. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it does, however that goes for all conditions and I'd rather the conditions be good. Bass has a great leg and yep would like to see 60 yard FG's, not 42 yard ones having to compensate for the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
