Nope. That was grandpa's nfl.

Yes.

Players hate playing in cold weather.

It hurts a poop ton more for everyone and your muscles are tight as poop.


Thurman Thomas even admitted this that the team loved going to Miami in December to get away from the cold.

Cold/bad weather does not give the bills an advantage.

If it did then why the hell did the bills miss the playoffs for 18 straight years?

Anyone who has done manual labor/played sports in the cold can admit it’s way more difficult.

36 I know you have a duty to exaggerate for your journalism job but this is just a comment section on the worst organization in the 4th/5th most popular sport in the U.S.

The cold sucks

Buffalos popularity/population continues to decrease for 1 primary reason, it’s actually a better city than most of the south, those 7 months break most people.

Bottom line, the cold is definitely worse than the heat, it definitely has more disadvantages even to the home team, Fitz is able to survive to the age he is only in Buffalo…need I say more?

LeBrun on Insider Trading talking Eichel: "Teams are saying, we have to have a conditional component to any potential trade, because we don't know what Jack Eichel is going to be like when he comes back, we don't know when exactly he will be back..."

You don't, and that's always been the catch. That grade A prospect has to be coming this way with possible conditions on picks.

Has more disadvantages to warm climate teams and dome teams that don’t practice, play, heck even live in a climate like Western New York or the other cold weather climates.

Patriots practiced in rain, sleet, snow. You bet Gillette was damn cold too. Best dynasty of all time.

Patriots could run up tempo, could take their time, could throw 30 times, could run 30 times. More often then not Bill had top 5 if not top 10 defences that punched you in the throat.

The Bills’ defence and efficiency on the ground so far this year could make them a pretty dangerous team in sub 30 degree weather with the home crowd behind them.

Yep, should be moving forward now, the Kings are asking again and the Rangers as well. Sabres like Byfield, Turcotte and Kaliyev, Kaliyev is going to be a very good player, very good.

The only 2 warm weather cities to win the super bowl in the last 10 years have been Tampa and New Orleans.

Either the cold forces teams to only have that to focus on or it makes teams stronger.

Edit: I still don’t believe it’s an advantage, the cold limits talent/skill/creativity

It should be an interesting week, two weeks who knows. I'd rather him go to LA with what they have to offer out of those two.

Saints had home field advantage the year they win. Played two games in a dome, SB in Miami.

Buccaneers built one of the better defences of the past decade last year.

Indianapolis was also a dome team though.

Wasn’t that the game Tracy Porter had the pick 6 ?

Saints defence was dreadful that year but really put it together for 3 playoff games

1) Byfield or Turcotte - I’d like Byfield! But kings seem dug in…

2) Kaliyev

3) 1st with conditions

4) ?

Cap work-
Quick ($5.8) - cap dump? Can they dump him?

Second dump?

It does become a cluster frank to figure out…

Our Florida 1st, a 2nd and Samuelsson for Brady Tkachuk.

Who says no?

Don't the Senators hang the phone up quickly at an offer like the above for Tkachuk?
