I’m sure this has been suggested before but it’s completely asinine to have 3/4 of the regular season being played under normal weather and then all the playoff games to be played in snow conditions every single season. Given the negative effects of playing in snow this completely screws all-run teams and makes it very risky for speed oriented teams. Having home field advantage where the home team can decide the weather during playoff games would seem more balanced and fair.

Snow is better for running teams. The point your making is cool, but your facts are off

I believe the last two championship games were not in the snow. Besides if there were no snow then you don't get an excuse when you lose. If I win it is in spite the snow and I still won. If I lose it was solely because of the snow and it would never ever have happened under non snowy conditions.

not exactly. fumble chances increase huge in the snow abd running teams are already fairly easy to subdue as it is.

That may matter with late pro and vet, but with good linemen it doesn’t matter for the rest of the tiers. Plus, once you run outside it’s over if your HB is fast/quick enough

Outside running sucks in the snow. Inside running is gold.

Inside rushing never really works against me and it’s pretty meh for me. Looks like we all have our own different experiences in the snow lol

anytime after sophomore its pretty bad for an all or mostly run team. its actually worse at journeyman because the anti fumble sas are less in play for power backs.

Yeah that’s a load of bs. Just look at some of the playoff games this season. Fumbles considerably up relatively speaking to regular season. Snow also nerfs outside running somewhat.

I admit, against better teams you'll struggle. However, most teams can barely defend with the perfect conditions and snow just buttfucks em even more.

Then again I automatically assumed we were talking about a S* HB with at least 90 speed and the ability to screw defenders like a horse

Put on your thermals and suck it up, cupcakes.

The real issue here is we need to fix intimidation.
