mannc Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Actually, the Bills have had really good weather this year...by my count, the Philly game is the only Bills game so far this year where the conditions were less than ideal. No shock to get nasty weather in Orchard Park in mid-December.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Everyone in Dallas is talking about preparing for the “cold in Buffalo.” It’s going to be 48 degrees! Hopefully it pours. We know Josh can sling it in a monsoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hate when weather is a factor, although I suspect it will help us more given we’re more accustomed and I think we have a better running attack than Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll know who your true friends are by which direction they sneeze on a windy day! No, it’s certainly not nothing. Josh has the arm and the experience in that setting, so we can just hope that gives us a bit of an advantage. No telling what the wind will do in that stadium in the next 5 minutes, so I’ll just wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering Josh has proven he can sling it in the rain. It fascinating to me how Dallas is so focused on the weather. It’s like they’ve never played in 40 degree weather before. It sounds as though they are anticipating the “cold,” rain, and maybe wind will have a big enough effect on them that they need to prepare for it - when really, it’s football weather.

Then again, as a Bills fans for many decades I think of examples where the weather (usually snow) SHOULD have been a disadvantage for teams but just wasn’t.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 As some of you know, I am a big-time weather worrier and dome enthusiast. But this is the rare game where I think bad weather will really help us. Dallas can be run on. And they really need ideal conditions to click on both sides of the ball. They like playing on fast turf in clean conditions. I wouldn’t mind a cold, rainy, ground and pound game. Get Murray and Ty involved and pound it.

kkim0904 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Weather definitely favors Buffalo more . I think the weather advantage of rain and wind combined does us more favor than 30 degree temperature. It is not cold as typical December winter. But rain with wind gust of 10-15 mph, wind chill will be around 35 degree. this is bad condition for indoor team to adopt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
