It did seem like the team lost some steam when the KB touchdown was incorrectly overturned. Sort of like Thurman's SB fumble, there may have been a Here-We-Go-Again reaction. Anticipating failure does indeed tend to bring failure. But I've never heard a Bills player say he expects to lose against the Pats or anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard numerous Bills players over the years say that they expect the BS calls that all seem to go the Patriots'*** way, not that they expected to lose. Jerry Hughes said it after Sunday's game.

They wouldn't care if it were 10,000. Buffalonians will watch the SB and the Stanley Cup finals regardless of who's in it.....look at the ratings. I'd prefer to watch greatness, despite the fact it may have been procured illegally in some fashion(s). Don't worry, I want TB to go away as much as anyone else here. 17 Bills fans??? Dude, no one travels like Bills fans! I work in many cities around the US and i can tell you that on Sundays no matter what city i travel to, there are tons of Bills fans wearing Bills gear, flying Bills flags. We are deeper than you give us credit for Bro! Bills Mafia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not see the irony? No. The fans have been here for 17 years, at least. The players are here for 3-4 on average? Generously. The players don't get the excuse that the fans suck.

smuvtalker Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I'm definitely not trying to call you a liar, however, I must admit I'm kinda surprised to hear you say you've heard NUMEROUS Bills players state that they expect to lose every time they play the Patriots. If that is in fact the case those players need not put on a Buffalo Bills uniform. While it's true we haven't had very much success against the Patriots the past gazillion years, no player should ever feel like they are going to lose a game, against the Patriots, or anybody else for that matter.

Albwan Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) For the super bowl this year, brady and co will be behind 50 points, comeback to win tom will appear to have been concussed on a play that no one was near him, he comes back into the game all pumped with eye of the tiger blaring Its already been scripted.

However I can read posts that express resignation, defeat and self-loathing. If "fans" want to hate themselves, their team and bow to other teams, that's their choice. Just don't start pinning that loser mentality on the players without evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that ive heard Bills players say they expected to lose the games against the Pats. I said that they always say that they expected calls to favor the Pats whenever its convenient, or that its not uncommon for these questionable calls to go their way. That in my opinion is a form of defeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way this team played the first half didn't appear that they were mentally defeated. That 4th down give-it-to-them was the final straw that broke their back. as that triggered a 24 point burst.

And whats even more discouraging is the fact that we as a fan base really don't expect to have a chance to start beating the Pats until Brady retires.... Their dominance over us has definitely gotten into our heads to a level that i pray to never see again in my lifetime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me like YOU anticipate failure. This is a problem with you, not on the Bills. That game was closer than the score indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
