  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

In the 15 yrs since Peyton Manning, the domed Colts offense has been in the top 5 once, top 10 five times, and 30th twice.

Domed Detroit has been in the top 5 for the last 3 years, but only 2 other times in 15 yrs.

No dome Patriots under Brady were never out of the top ten.

Domes don't matter, players do.

Kurt Warner? Domes don’t matter for the great ones. Sometimes the really good ones can take advantage of the benefits.

This is so wildly disingenuous lol

Your post is meaningless.You just told us bad offenses are bad and good offenses are good.

If you're trying to argue about indoor stadiums convey more offense, you have to look at the splits per season indoor vs outdoor and look for trends. Someone sort of almost did that for QBs over on reddit, and surprise surprise, QBs on the whole saw their passer ratings rise when playing inside vs outside. This isn't foolproof either, as QB rating has flaws and also isn't the best surrogate marker of successful offense.

Here's the post for reference

Ideally, you'd stratify by team, by year, and look at the difference in their DVOA and/or EPA based on environment (i.e. indoor vs outdoor)

It is not unreasonable to hypothesize bad teams are bad inside and worse outside, while good teams are good inside and a little worse but still good outside. This is because bad teams are bad and good teams are good. But that's not to say weather (or lack thereof) "doesn't matter". The answer is out there.

This can be tough to disentangle, but in general, an Outdoor NFL passing offense at Home is about equivalent to that same offense on the Road when Indoors. Every other Home/Road Out/In (Dome @ Dome, etc) split is measurably negative. That's the simplest way I've ever seen it explained.

There's too much involved to pin it on individual QBs or coaches or even schemes. It helps in a broad sense. That's the one thing we know for sure.
