Logic Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So I'm sure by now most of you have seen the 2017 Bills season review on NFL Network. Toward the end, they played Kyle Williams' Jacksonville playoff pre-game locker room speech. It reminded me why he's my favorite Bills player of all time and sent chills up my spine. For those who haven't had a chance to see it, I'm not aware of any free video of it being available, but here it is in text format: "I want you to go back in time, men, and think about a time that you were thinking to yourself, “Man, I just want a chance, I just want a chance to GET to the NFL. I just want a chance to play. And if I could just get a chance to get in the playoffs, man"…Go back there in your mind, and remember the type of effort you promised yourself you would give! Remember the type of gut-straining effort you said “I will give that if I have the opportunity to do that”. Look at your men when you walk out the door. Because we don’t just strain for that name on the back, men. We got a banner that covers 53 in here, and tens of thousands outside. That’s who we represent. We represent passion, energy, and love! And that’s who we are! That’s who we’ve been. And that’s what’s gonna carry us through, men. We are different. We are a different kind of team, men. It’s time to show that today." Anyway...not just the speech, but the passion with which he delivers it...just awesome. When the day comes that #95 finally hangs up his cleats, it will be an enormous loss for the Buffalo locker room. Here's hoping he ends up on the Ring of Honor where he belongs. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Right. Clearly the fact that the Bills lost the game completely invalidates the passion and eloquence of a player who gave a pre-game speech, and therefore my admiration for said player. What was I thinking?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work and they still lost because tyrod sucks! It means a lot more. OK, we lost the game BUT we made the playoffs. I would prefer that we had won BUT we're finally heading in the right direction. I saw the NFL network show, and if i didn't know how our season ended, I'd swear they were super bowl bound. We have to start somewhere, and this is our best chance to do that, in way too many seasons. Go BILLS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I don't know how anyone couldn't have been happy with making the playoffs and even losing that game. The next game was at the Cheaters and they had no chance. Yet they broke the 17-year drought with a team everyone thought was going to secure the 1st overall pick, they were able to add defensive talent in FA and the draft, and might have gotten their franchise QB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind the defense didn't lose that game. It was a good speech. So it wouldn't be a good look to trash the speech because they lost. If anything I feel sorry for the defense losing that game because the offense was dead on arrival. I love my team and I understand the struggle. I seen the impact of the culture change before and throughout the season. The team just couldn't score points..... It was a serious weakness.
