I think this past sunday's game would have been entirely different if we were playing the ravens or titans. (meaning, I think we lose some of the advantages we have with our offense)
I get the macho argument of "football is meant to be played in the elements".......but that was good for the 70s and 80s, before Sunday Ticket and online streaming sites.
These days, the home experience is so good already (sunday ticket, big screen TVs, etc.), that when you throw bad weather into the mix - all the more reason for some to stay home.
For me personally, I dont want our team to lose any advantage it has by playing in a downpour or ice/snow storm (or even wind for that matter like the raiders game).
The Cardinals stadium is a fantastic place to see a game. Very similar amenities and look/feel to Arrowhead (especially in club).......and they have the added bonus of the retractable roof.

Our offense didn't miss a beat apart from some guys occasionally losing their footing. Our guys knew exactly where they were supposed to be according to the play, and we executed. The Donks were reacting to everything, and that led to them being way more slowed down by the elements than we were.
Mahomes apparently doesn't give a shit if it's snowing. He claims he likes it. He's used to the wind from playing in Lubbock and now at Arrowhead.
We've seen two kind of extreme winter stormy-type games from Mahomes. The Colts playoff game and now this past one against the Donks. And he was simply brilliant in both of them.
As this team is currently built with this QB and this system, we're I think actually at an ADVANTAGE in the elements, believe it or not.
