I think if you ranked out all the NFL's top teams by their ceiling and how good they're capable of playing the Bills probably top that list. That was one hell of a statement slaying of New England right there.

I have a ton of respect for the outdoor stadium teams. That's the way it should be IMO. When I fire up my TV in the playoffs I prefer to see people freezing their asses off, and of course the beered up idiots not wearing shirts.

part of why I don't enjoy going to the games as much anymore is because I've gained weight.
due to some medical issues (the details of which are not germane to the discussion), I'm up around 300# give or take a few based on the day.
Bottom line is that the seats are too small, too hard and that would only be exacerbated with the extra layers to withstand the frigid weather.
I actually love the cold. Lived in PA for 4 winters and you'd think as a CA kid, I'd hate it... nope... shoveling and layering didn't bother me and I had two babies in that time and all the extra it takes to take babies out in the freezing cold...again... didn't bother me. We have even considered relocating to Minneapolis from Tampa because we just don't like the heat (wife's literally allergic to the heat and will pass out and/or break out in hives from it) and really miss the seasons that we were spoiled with in eastern PA.
Sure, the outdoor stadiums look great on TV when it's cold, but the TV experience with all the accessible home theater gear (big screen, big sound, big comfy seating...and BATHROOM access), home prepared or catered food and none of the stadium costs ($100 to PARK? I must be a cheap bastard because I'd rather grow wings and fly there than pay that)... all in all, the game day experience just doesn't match up with being at home.
Plus, I'm old and curmudgeonly now. When I was a kid, I skipped school in 1985 to go to the Fabulous Forum and buy two tickets to the Finals (Lakers Celtics... nothing better). That was an experience I'll never forget.
Last couple of times I went to a game here in Tampa (to watch the Rams kick the Bucs ass!), the game experience was...meh. I loved meeting folks from here and I'd do it again if things were in order to do it, but for something so rare... only 17 reg season games... it didn't feel that amazing. I've been just as excited at a Dodger game and they have 81 home games.
Sorry, y'all know me and long posts...
