Mr. WEO Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 What do you expect them to say? "We'll just show up and play out the string because it's in our contracts. We don't care if the Jets beat us by 50." The Bills are out of the playoffs and they can take the Jets with them. I don't see how that isn't a motivating factor for these guys. Something other than comparing this game to the Super Bowl, perhaps. It's ridiculous, in fact the most ridiculous thing he could have said about the importance of this game. If these guys couldn't get properly motivated to beat teams like the Eagles, Jax and Skins (when their OWN playoff hopes were the important factor), you think any of them really care if the Jets don't make the playoffs? These guys do not care about being spoilers, why would they at this point? Half of them are going to be in the whirlpool anyway. I can't believe any NFL player actually says to himself and his team mates---hey, let's knock this team out of the playoffs (HELL YEAH!!). I'm sure they would rather win than lose at home but the role of spoiler adds zero motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If that were true why would anyone show up for the game? Looked like a full house yesterday. "Hello, Mister Barnum? I have a sucker on line 2." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 If that were true why would anyone show up for the game? Looked like a full house yesterday. Fans like watching football at the stadium. They are great fans. Not one of them consider this game in any way like a Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 For those who don't think Boobie Dixon is a leader, you might want to pay attention. At least someone is speaking up and trying to motivate the fans. This alone would impress me if I was a coach. I don't think FAN motivation is the problem with this team, or worthy of a player's time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Beeeews Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We just barely skated by a horrendous bunch of Dallas Cowboy backups in probably the most hideous game ive witnessed in some time. Boobie and anyone else needs to shut the hell up, because the results will not be the same. We and Rex will get absolutely embarrassed this week, and we will get exposed for the frauds we naturally are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonious Monk Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If the Bills win, think the defense will hoist him on to their shoulders like they did Schwartz last year? Such treatment is one of the perks of being a "player's coach," right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 A superbowl where our prize is .500 and still finishing worse than our coaches old team? I'm sorry, we are losers no matter what ^^^This. Exactly this. It's sad when fans are more emotionally invested in a team than the players and coaches themselves. I have nothing against Dixon personally, but the quote is a perfect example of a player not understanding that after 16 years of this crap, nobody wants to talk about silver linings or intriguing subplots about games without any playoff implications for the Bills.

BarleyNY Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If that were true why would anyone show up for the game? Looked like a full house yesterday. I wonder how many of the fans that paid full price would have purchased tickets and showed up if they hadn't already sunk that cost? The Jets game offers an excellent chance at resale (which the Dallas game certainly did not) so the percentage of Jets fans should be a much better indication of how fans feel.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000611057/article/boobie-dixon-playing-jets-spoiler-is-our-super-bowl Boobie says the Jets game is the Bills SB. "I know we're gonna have a lot of guys jacked. We already know what's on the line." Uhhh...what? Know what it means when the last game of the season is your teams SB? It means you missed the playoffs....again. What's on the line? -if the Bills lose, they won't have a winning record and will be 3rd in the division -if the Bills win, they won't have a winning record and will be 3rd in the division. I think the only thing that's really on the line is whether Rex and his Big Mouth that told us "get ready (for playoffs) 'cuz we're going" is -doubly shown up by his old team, because they have a better record and much stronger D with the same DL and LB -triply shown up by his old team, because they have a better record, stronger D, and left bootprints on our backs on the way to the playoffs he promised us Edited December 28, 2015 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What exactly is on the line? Draft pick? Rex's job security? His pride? That stupid girlfriend dumping him analogy? What's this nonsense Boobie's talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
