Virgil Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 The stadium is a grass stadium, yet we were forced to play on turf; which was apparently very hard. To make things worse, we may have lost some key players for the season as a result. This has nothing to do with outcome of the game. Add in the NFLPA calling for grass fields, yet the NFL prioritizes their cash cow London games over player safety. If I’m the Bills, I lost a home game to that? If the Pegulas could, I’d hope they tell league to ***** off to future neutral site games 6 4 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Because Goodell is a ***** heel. I can't believe the NFLPA didn't say something about this. Edited October 8, 2023 by Bubba Gump 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a big way to, honestly I know injuries happen but the season enders are just awful luck. Allot of teams suffer injuries and guys come back but for us it seems when a guy goes down he goes really down as in see you next year.

Ya Digg? Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I heard someone say earlier this week that the premiere league won’t let the grass be used for anything other than their games. There have been issues in the past with the fields being ripped up too much after an NFL game. If that’s the case, the NFL gave the premiere league way too much leverage. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soccer field is 3 feet above the stadium foundation and the football field is on a rubber mat on concrete. It sucked. And it sucks more for the season than it does this individual game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 My only guess is it was considered a home game and we don’t play on grass. Other than that I have nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgang Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I feel sorry for the fans that traveled to London. They were great today; they showed up and were loud.

Its not science so blaming the field when both teams played on it is not a solid conclusion. It's likely 90% bad luck, 5% bad technique, and 5% the surface whether that is turf or frozen grass. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) I remember 2 seasons ago when people were praising our training staff because we were relatively healthy all year with the exception of Tre’s ACL. If they deserved credit for player health, do they deserve criticism for the last season plus 5 games of injuries?
