LabattBlue Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I always like to say how being at home is a big advantage come playoff time, but yesterday the Bills made me a liar out of me. 😂 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorquemada Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 They looked pretty bad last week and were lucky to draw the Dolphins. Homefield used to mean watching visiting teams struggle in the snow. Deeply ironic that we've now built a team that requires perfect weather conditions to perform 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Wasn't much of a home field with all that orange in the crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Seems like the way we were built to take advantage of the elements at home back in the 90's is markedly different to the current roster, as has been commented on by other posters at some length. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Disagree wholeheartedly- we have a team that can play in elements. They did not though. They would’ve been flat in cincy or a dome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they begged the league to move the Browns game to Detroit, instead of another outdoor venue that was available. Then, the dome in Atlanta that never happened.

Boatdrinks Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It’s an advantage, but it’s not as big as it used to be. Parity and rules that favor offense have changed that. There’s a reason the home team is only assigned a 1.5-2 points in the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 1) We didn't lose due to the snow. We lost because we got dominated in the trenches. 2) It was embarrassing hearing the loud "who dey" chants. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is at a disadvantage when it snows. Unfortunately it looks like I will still be talking about the 90s Bills to my grave. The current administration only drafts and signs defense, and they even fail at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It's unbelievable how overrated home field advantage is. The one seed is important but it's because of the bye week. That's infinitely more important then home field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 So how about next year they sneak into the playoffs and not worry about homefield and then turn it on? Worked for the Bengals last year and this year. Instead of going all out beginning of the year and everyone getting injured let's go like .500 until Dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our players were "gassed" from the week... tired at home, tired on the road.... what difference does it make! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tua plays, even brain bruised Tua, Miami wins that game by at least 10 1 minute ago, B-Large said: Considering our players were "gassed" from the week... tired at home, tired on the road.... what difference does it make!
