You can say it won't have a huge effect, but you cannot deny that the altitude will have an effect.
Yeah, big effect on Ben Watson. Or does he train there as well?
So are you telling me that the altitude isn't going to have any effect whatsoever on the players from Pittsburgh? Not ANY EFFECT AT ALL? Is that what you're telling me here?How many Denver players did you see on the sidelines breathing from oxygen masks last week? Because I didn't see any. I *did*, however, see at least three different New England players doing so. Not that that had anything to do with the altitude, of course.
I heard if you get there within 24 hours of the game it has less of an effect on you. Any truth to this?
Yes, there is truth to that.Again, I'm not saying the altitude is going to be a HUGE difference, I'm just saying that the altitude IS going to be a factor. And sometimes, in football games, something doesn't HAVE to be a huge factor to have a huge impact. I point out again... what happens if last week Big Ben was just a step slower when trying to tackle Harper?
