Call me crazy, but I feel the Bills just didn't come out motivated yesterday. I believe the Bills were the better team and will keep believing that unless they lose the next 3 games. We've played tough teams, we beat Jacksonville. Oakland, even though winless, is a tough and physical team.
Whatever motivation they had coming in the game I think wiped out when Edwards went down. And the way his head ricocheted on the turf I figured it would be a concussion. But the rest of the team should have been motivated to play tougher football after that. I remember Edwards during the Oakland game in the 4th quarter, being knocked down hard, goes to the sidelines, sits to recollect his thoughts for a second, gets up and marches up and down the bench yelling at teammates and getting them fired up before going out and winning the game. That type of leadership and vocality is needed more in this team. I expected Whitner to fulfill that void when Edwards went down.
It seems at times we're motivated to play 'balls out' football and the offensive line and defense do great jobs, and then other times we just look like we're going through the motions with less attitude.
We need more attitude from more players.
