when you feel overconfident you take things lightly or don't prepare as well as you should. it's human nature. i do it all of the time because i'm lazy and i try to cut corners whenever possible and it often gets me into trouble. the Bills players felt superior because they were reading into the hype and feeling good about a playing a team they already beat once. they were banged up after a tough opponent and thought they could skate by this week and rest up for next week against a much tougher team. when you preach 1 of 11 and the 1 doesn't do their part then the other 10 suffer. but it was very evident that not just 1 but most of the players were taking last night off. absolutely no energy. i turned the game off after the Jets scored in the 3rd quarter. if they weren't interested in playing then i wasn't interested in watching.
They didn't...because it was a trap game. Sore from a tough game they worked hard for, thought they could get by with minimal effort, got their butts handed to them on national TV. Classic trap game scenario
We are witnessing one right now. Players look tired after a big game last week. Thought they could phone this one in. They are getting their lunch money stolen
Definite trap game. Bills feeling good about themselves, came out uninspired thinking they would walk all over this team. They arent good enough to overlook anyone.
