The Rams even when there were known more for there potent offense had a solid defense and the Colts Super Bowl same with Saints but they can never back it up back to back but with that being said playing in the dome has the disadvantages and you never see consistent defense mentality . Opposing teams dont mind come into the dome . Yea its loud and we do have that home field advantage of noise but teams dont mind coming into these conditions especially if they play there games outside in cold weather. Plus there are teams like Packers/Saints

Also we are not built like a dome team . we dont have that team speed /big play makers Saints/Colts and even Rams do . Even on defense our team is solid vs run and we are able to run . We would be a perfect outside weather team .

but our fans won't show up on time to a warm comfy stadium, you think they will show up any sooner to watch an outside game?

the people, the coach, the scheme, lack of injuries, all of those have more to do with the continuity of a defense, you're trying to blame it on the actual field....

the way some people grasp at straws amazes me
