Jerry blames bad performance against Bills on weather

[BigD5]

It’s a shame the weather only affected Dallas and not Buffalo. The league should do something about that!

I am a pro-Dome guy. My posts have demonstrated that over the decades, well-before AT&T Stadium was even thought of. Weather can influence players' performance significantly and/or just introduce wacko variables.

Receivers and running backs can more easily fumble wet balls. Slips and falls generally happen far more often in wet conditions. Wind can blow passes, punts and field goal attempts sometimes YARDS off-target. Lightning can disrupt the flow of a game, changing a team's momentum. The list goes on.

I prefer controlled conditions, where teams have NOTHING affecting game play except maybe crowd noise--which is not a weather condition. That said, NOTHING weather connected factored into Dallas' performance and outcome in Buffalo. Zlitch.

Let me recommend BASKETBALL. None of that pesky wind rain sleet or snow. Sometimes they DO have the thermostat set too low. So take a sweater.

Yes the weather played a factor- and not because it was raining but rather bc the cowboys prepared for a bad weather situation and didn't adjust the game plan on the fly

 

[Asklesko]

Blame it on the rain.

Oh, Jerry. Smh...this is the crap that permeates that the organization. Lame excuse making that justifies wetting your pants in public...again.

No thank you. The National Football League has dragged itself into the 21st century but ten domed stadiums have been built at this stage. The number includes franchises in northern climate states such as Minnesota and Michigan.

Money is (as always) the underlying factor. Ever increasing ticket prices are encouraging franchise owners to make ticket buyers more comfort during their in-person game experiences, so they can spend even MORE money. The players benefit as a by-product of having a dome built to further entice ticket buyers to separate themselves from their cash.

The number of franchises with domed stadiums will only increase. It will take time. Definitely more time than I will ever see, lol, but it will happen. Eventually, the only people proclaiming fellow fans as adverse to weather at games will be holdouts in Chicago, Buffalo, etc. Even they will eventually succumb to progress. Everything in life almost always usually does.

I told you it was the rain. The ball was slippery...and if you noticed that every time Buffalo got the ball the rain stopped. Then when the Cowboys got the ball it started raining again. Then Buffalo got the ball, the rain stopped, then Dallas got the ball and the rain...

Yeah, JJ, it was the weather.

Didn’t you know the NFL controls the weather too just like the refs good post I got a good laugh have a merry Christmas

Just shut up Jerry.

I wonder what the Cowboy players who played in the ice bowl would think of this? lol

‘The elements’ enhance the home field advantage for northeastern-based teams - especially in the late season playoffs. They are silly not to leverage that advantage. JMO

No excuses this is football, bad weather is when your toughness comes out in football players, sorry Jones this isn't flag football

Buffalo performed like it was a perfect 75 degree day. While we looked like we were battling blizzard conditions. We played the same way we did in perfect conditions in Arizona and San Francisco.

 

[Brooksey]

Dak blew his chance in the first half holding the ball

Nobody is talking about how bad the second half weather was. We weren't stopping the run either way at that point.

That deer in the headlight look from our QB and no run defense...sickening isn't it

The thread isn’t about our QB.
