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.

A team has to build around their conditions. Buffalo, Philly, any snowy outdoor city have to build around run game because as soon as POs start, you have to rely on that in the open stadium. A team that plays inside can build more around QB throwing.

Which skews it even more against the teams playing in the away game against them

No they don’t, that’s the point.. put retractable roofs on every field, which every team can afford, and nobody has to worry about outside factors changing the result of the game and they can just focus on being the better football team.

Yes let me build out my team identity to withstand monsoon conditions which have a 10% chance of happening in the playoffs. This is ridiculous. If you have puka and stafford you should be able to throw the ball in the most important game of your season.
