So it's ok to have a domed stadium and artificial turf and build a team to win only on that surface and nothing else? Sorry, but old school teams should have some cold weather in play in once in a while too. If your offense can't handle the weather (or no weather in domes in the case of old school teams), then I have no sympathy for them when they lose. You need to be versitile. I remember old playoff games where Minnesota (domed team) gets blown out at New York in January or when the Saints had to go to Chicago for a playoff game. If the Saints or other domed team loses in the Super Bowl this year, it's their fault for not having a complete team and strategy to deal with the situation. Football is all about dealing with the elements, if you want a sport with no weather factor, watch basketball. |

Miami won in the snow this weekend and they have been nigh on useless in all weather conditions.
Kudos to Stafford though he didn't even wear gloves in the first half (missed the second). |

Always having the SB in southern sunny cities is extremely unfair to most NFL fans. Why couldn't GB, Chicago or Boston fans get a home SB? That's my main issue with the SB always being in NO, Tampa or Miami basically. Edit: It's like if the Champions League final was always played in Spain, Italy or Greece. I don't think most German or British fans would be very happy about it  Last edited on 2013-12-13 08:39:33 by Meitheisman |
