What's our win percentage in 1PM games vs the Texans?
-
Yes!
Thanks to the Jews, the Raiders will be wearing their black jerseys for a 1:00 kickoff in 100*+ weather!
In all seriousness, we now have 2 September 1:00 home games. If we lose these games, I'll shut up about our stupid owner requesting no September 1:00 home games.Larryfinfan and padre31 like this. -
Does anybody remember last season's opener at night?

And yes, I remember last year's home opener. It was hot and our team was out of shape. Hopefully, these guys can learn from their mistakes.phin616 likes this. -
Something definitely changed up top. I don't know if it's Ross changing his mind, listening to the fans, or maybe Joe Philbin's input. The Dolphins have specifically sought to reduce and/or eliminate entirely those September 1pm home games. Steve Ross has admitted it. He says fans don't want to come when it's so hot. Now suddenly we've got two 1pm games schedule through mid-October, and a 4pm home game in September, and even that one 4pm game is now being rescheduled for 1pm.
There has definitely been a change of mindset. -
If not for the holiday, the game would've stayed at 4:15. -
It's a good thing they have a full off season this go around :) -

Good, to me, the "W" is the thing, if we beat the Texans for the first time, that is a pretty good vindicator for moving to pm games.
Though Houston is hot and muggy as well, so it is not a huge edge but I'd like to see them at least try. -

You guys are suffering memory loss. Ross pretty much admitted that moving games to 4:15pm was a mistake back in January. So it's no surprise that they only had 1 4:15pm start (and now none).

At least that's what I took out of that interview with him
(Damn, who was interviewing him? A radio interview...just can't remember who it was) -

This makes me happy. Now hopefully we can win so I go into Synagogue that night positive and upbeat.

Only time it should be used is during severe weather.
There is no reward practice in the bubble.
We gain ZERO advantage by practicing in a bubble on a hot humid day. We gain zero advantage by rewarding the players by letting them practice in the bubble.
Want to reward the players? Take them out for ice cream after practice. They are getting paid millions of dollars to be the best they can be and gain a competitive advantage. Practicing in the bubble while it is a beautiful day outside takes away that advantage. -
