    Or how many dumbasses will be shirtless to get on TV? You always see those idiots. Suffering in an outdoor game with miserable cold weather, snow, or rain doesn't make you "tough" fools. It also doesn't make the game more enjoyable or safe for fans and players. It's just stupid mentality. Meanwhile, the owners, executives, and families sit up in their cushy heated suites enjoying the game.

    Sounds like a miserable experience to me. I wouldn't pay to sit in that type weather to watch a game. Not a chance.

    Weather shouldn't be a factor that determines whether a team wins or loses the game. I just want to see the best team win.

    I think we can agree that Miami whoops KC in a neutral field with just average weather.

    KC has a huge advantage in this game due to the temperatures.

    I agree. Weather shouldn't be a factor. This isn't 1940, where there wasn't more modern ways to limit that.
    Honestly, I doubt the advantage of any cold weather team is that big. They still face the same elements. Sure, they might play in it more, but I'm sure there are guys on both teams who grew up and played in hot and cold weather, or did it in college.

    We will see. You may be right.

    I just don't see Miami looking normal in below 0 temps.

    A high scoring Miami team vs this version of KC probably wins by 10 points.

    I usually think they've been drinking for several hours already and won't notice the frost bite. But if they pass out, that's all she wrote.

    Yeah thinning out your blood with alcohol in really cold weather isn't too bright.

    I have sweated in -10 degree weather. But it froze. It does not take long to go Hypothermic, particularly in wind or moisture.

    I grew up in SE Texas close enough to the coast that 2 measurable snowfall were all we had between 1960 and 1976. I moved to Michigan in 1991 and discovered winter.

    And yet many will tell you they need the alcohol to warm their blood.

    It's ridiculous that an indoor game is scheduled Saturday at 3:30, and an outdoor game with incredibly low temps is scheduled for 7:00 that evening. Granted, it would still be ridiculously cold during the day, but it's stupid those games aren't reversed. I get that it's all about money, but it's asinine and more dangerous the way it is. JMHO.

    And another thing- it's ridiculous, in my opinion, to have a Monday night playoff game. Just put three on Saturday and three on Sunday.

    KC's offense is horrible and there defense is faultering. They are limped in... Miami can run up points on them.

    I have 0 confidence in Miami. They will disappoint in yet another game against a team with a winning record like they have done all year

    I didn't think Miami was that soft, but how can you take them seriously now?
