5 losses, all away, all grass fields

[cowboybish]

This is interesting but maybe it's more coincidence. All 5 losses were away games on grass fields. Thoughts?

 

[D4KADON]

And guess what


All of our playoff games will be away and most of have grass fields

Bad trend considering game Monday.

All 5 losses?

ATT stadium converted from turf to grass?

 

[cowboyec]

our first loss this season was wk1.
AT HOME.

For what it's worth Jason Garrett made a comment during the game yesterday to watch the Dallas defense as they are seemingly track stars on artificial turf yet on grass they simply do not play as fast.....which came to fruition yesterday and the playoff game against TB is on.....grass.

Tampa will be running the field irrigation 24/7 until game time.

Maybe we should have tried harder to sign Gregory. I heard he likes grass.

Um.. the first loss was at home .. on turf.. and I don't think Philly has real grass. But carry on..

Ceedee and pollard look noticeably slower on grass. That hurts us bad.

Loss 1: At AT&T Stadium - Turf
Loss 2: At Lincoln Financial - Bermuda grass, grass/turf hybrid
Loss 3: At Lambeau Field - Kentucky Bluegrass
Loss 4: At TIAA Bank Field - Bermuda grass, grass/turf hybrid
Loss 5: At FedEx Field - Latitude 36 Bermuda grass, another hybrid grass

Raymond James Stadium - Tifway 419 Bermuda grass, another hybrid.

What this all boils down to. We lose.

Everybody looks slower on grass because everybody IS slower on grass. The differentiator is how it impacts one's stride. It will typically impact the long strider less than the shorter, choppier gait. Speed is generated from the impact of the foot on the ground. The softer the ground the less feedback to the foot and the shorter and less explosive the stride becomes.

Big Grass is working with the Illuminati to ensure we lose. Wake up sheeple.

 

[Rayman70]

We had big leads in 2 of them. Both teams have to play on grass. I don't buy it.

The GB and Jax losses had nothing to do with field surface. They were up by double digits in the 3rd quarter of each game. The Philly game, they were playing the best team in the league with a backup QB. Play that game on grass, astroturf or concrete, they're very likely to lose in similar fashion.

Not all losses were away…the Tampa Bay loss on opening night was at the AT&T stayjum/shopping mall.
