Big Turk Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) It was so noticeable yesterday that they thought they could just go in there and walk away with a W that even their opponents noticed it: "I was just looking on their sideline, and one thing I noted is I was like, 'they don't have the same energy as us,' ” Griffin said. “I feel like if you feel like one team deserved this win, it's us, but you've got to believe that." "So that's one thing I kept preaching at everybody else. 'Look on the sidelines, watching them walking around, it's like they don't care. They don't deserve this. Let's show them why.' " When your opponent can tell you are so arrogant, unprepared and unfocused that you don't seem to care, that's a major problem.

starrymessenger Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The truth. Every nfl team has great players. Bills were flat for whatever reason. If you are not up to play even the Jags will clean your clock. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I thought this yesterday. Something is up. The Bills were absolutely bereft of competitive Fire yesterday. I haven’t seen that kind of mailing it in in sometime. Has to be a reason. Someone’s pissed at someone. They absolutely stunk yesterday on offense.

dorquemada Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The Bills are soft mentally. They certainly have plenty of physical skill, and the games they have won are because of that. They showed a little mental toughness against KC, but then again, that was mostly emotion boiling over from last year. Other than KC they havent beaten a good team this year, and now have lost to a terrible one. Other terrible teams will notice that if they play with enough intensity the Bills will fall apart and run for the bus. Never mind peer and near peer teams that are well coached like the Saints, Pats, and Bucs. Today, that looks like 4 losses. Will 10-7 get them into the playoffs? Even 10-7 assumes they win the games they should like against the Jets. Right now, i don't see 10-7 getting in, and if by some miracle it does, we'll let out another long sloppy fart in a road game like yesterday Going forward every team is going to smell blood in the water and come after the Bills. The question now is, do they respond in kind, sack up and play better, or do they fold up and limp across the finish line? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think Griffin is correct...or put another way as J Allen (ours) said, they wanted it more and that certainly seemed to me to be true. Watch the reactions of the Jags on the sidelines when they made a good play, they were enthusiastic, jumping up and down, most were standing up. Meanwhile the Bills sideline for most of the game was quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely stunk yesterday on offense. Something is most definitely wrong. Reminded me of some of the Sabres games in their second year after the lockout. The first year they came out of nowhere to be one of the best teams in the league, losing in the ECF to Carolina in game 7. The next year, it's like they knew they were so good that they didn't think they had to try to win and their effort was mailed in often times...they still won a ton of games but you could just tell something was "off" with them. I am hoping this isn't what is happening with the Bills but it looks like it from the outside. I hope they don't suffer the same fate as that Sabre's team because they will be going home early in the playoffs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeFrommStateFarm Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I wouldn't say the Bills didn't care but you could see they were very relaxed just going through the motions. Its like they expected the Jags to just lay down for them and they would walk out with a win. The intensity on the Bills side line was definitely lacking.

zow2 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I gotta pin some of the "not ready to play" on McDermott and the team leaders. We better not see that again. Every game should be taken very seriously. It's all fun and cute when the guys are horsing around in practice, dancing, and doing their instagram nonsense and fluff pieces on Bills video. That should be over now. This was a spanking and it's time to play up to their potential and find an identity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team was totally flat and lacked emotion but I dont think there is "something up" or "someone's pissed. It is a simple case of overconfidence and that is largely on McDermott. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cage Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The truth is everyone saw this as an after-thought, not just the team. Without criticizing anyone else, I'll own up to my part. I sat there calmly watching through the 3rd quarter. The only thing I got upset about was the penalties and that they wouldn't cover the spread, but really I expected they would win in the end. It wasn't until 5 min to go that I realized they might lose. During Chiefs and Titans games I was on edge stressing over each play from the beginning... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im open to anything right now… Pretty limited in moves we can make post trade deadline. What I saw from Davis yesterday didn’t scream “we’re good at WR”. When our OL is such a mess, we can’t have strengths of the team not being actual strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
