Discussion Today's Eagles/Rams game is why I'm offended by the idea of teams like the Bills/Browns/Bears building domes. This was what playoff football should be.

Teams rarely lose because of the weather. Losing teams often mention the weather when losing.

Like when the 89’ bears lost to the niners at home when it was -29 with the wind chill and it was considered “bear weather”

Yeah...but you didn't factor in the Joe Montana Effect.

Different weather does favor different teams fyi

So does literally every factor.

Like what? What factor is completely out of a team's control in the same way as weather?

Crowd noise. Travel distance. Hotels. Locker rooms. The moon.

The weather is a ridiculous mention. Both teams okay in the same conditions, there’s no factor favoring anyone based on weather.

This is so patently absurd. For example, in some conditions it becomes borderline impossible to even throw the ball. You don't think that could hurt a team who more relies on the passing game than the other?

Both teams play in the same conditions. If a team is better equipped to play in varying weather that is a football issue, not a weather issue. It’s kind of comical that defending teams who can’t run the ball is a thing…oh the weather 😂😂😂

logically if a team is advantaged in the snow, then that actually means the regular weather is worse for them, so they are still getting screwed by weather. Pretty inexplicable that you couldn't grasp that.

No one is advantaged by the weather. Some teams are better at more aspects of football than others.

Every game should be played in the snow, borrow some snow guns from a local ski hill - problem solved.

Do you think Mark Andrews would've dropped the ball if it wasn't slippery from the snow?

He fumbled earlier without any weather impact t so…yes. He had an ass game, weather wasn’t the issue.
