Mikie2times Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) When teams travel time zones oddsmakers adjust. Just look at the performance of West Coast teams traveling east ATS. Oddsmakers already adjust the lines, but not enough to account for this. We see the same performance decline when east coast teams travel west. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/bucs-nfls-east-coast-teams-at-disadvantage-when-traveling-west/2299324/ I have zero problem putting the screws to Josh or coaching or whatever the area might be if it's warranted , but if you didn't think this game was a coin flip you're severely underestimating how difficult of a spot this was. It was arguably the most lop sided situational match up in NFL history. It was a complete screw Job by the NFL to put us in this position. It's a testament to how good we are that this game was even competitive. It shouldn't have been.

Rocbillsfan1 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 It’s like having your opponent waiting on top of a mountain to play football and then you have to run up the mountain and then play a football game. Its ridiculous. And being a little off your game in a contact sport leads to injuries. Player safety my ass. The NFL is the dumbest run sport in America but no one cares and we just keep giving them all our money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, OK, then it was a coin-flip, but we lost, and really not all that closely. Just sayin'. Allen, Diggs, Davis and the OL gave Allen time. But there are definitely reasons to criticize coaching.

1ManRaid Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 That's why this was the one game in the first half of the season that worried me, aside from always flukey week 1 of course. Absolutely criminal to have our "home" game be in this situation. League needs to make a rule that the home team in London has no worse of a travel situation than the road team. We should have faced them last week where we have the same travel, then they can be the home team the second week with the advantage of facing a jetlagged team.

He could care less what sacrificial lamb gets sacrificed for his greed experiment. You wouldn't see the Cowboys, Steelers or Niners shipped out to tea town to get screwed out of a true home game. The outcome of today's game was decided in May. And Terry is just as culpable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie2times Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 2 minutes ago, BadboyBills said: How would a west coast team travelling to Europe handle it? That's a 9 hour difference. Going there and then back. Just following the Miami game was a let down spot. That was an extremely emotional game. When a team wins a game like that it is not uncommon to see them underperform the following week. That is the most criminal thing of all of this. It didn't take an engineer to see the Bills / Miami game in week 4 was going to be an important, physical, football game. For the NFL to ask us to do this following that game was criminal.
