Billsfanatixs Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Back in the Superbowl years, or just prior if I recall correctly, the call outs of players not digging deep enough lead to 4 Superbowl appearances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 We need something. Someone on this team to step up as a leader? Someone to get in someone's face. Maybe we can rent Brady & Belichick for a week. I honestly can't think of 1 player on this team that fits that description? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'll take anything at this time to light a fire. Even having to say that tells me they aren't what I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not talking process now because nobody's asking them right now how they do it. They still do talk about stuff that is essentially the process when asked, stuff like the 24 hour rule, stuff like one game at a time, stuff like getting better every day. They do that because it's the best way to get better. It's not going to lead to perfection, or undefeated seasons. But working as hard as possible to get better is what they should be doing. They will. Edited November 23, 2021 by Thurman#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me started on the coaching staff again. I’ve said enough about McDIMWITT after Sunday to last a full season. Well.. maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I remember reading an article about Dick Butkus, after a loss the players were scared to go in the locker room He would throw furniture, kick in lockers, He even started fights with his own players Edited November 23, 2021 by HOUSE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays, you have man-children being slapped on the back, saying everything will be ok when they screw up, instead of being kicked in the ass. Even though we hate the "evil empire", you would never see Bellicheat clapping on the sidelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) If Josh keeps yelling at people on the sideline and throwing hissy fits on the field when someone gets a penalty, then they'll be bickering, alright.

No one wants to hear it. Fans want see McD, Allen, or one of the vets on D yell and hear about players getting their ass chewed out. Right orb wrong it’s not the mentality of the team.

Plano Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 can we stop comparing everything they do to the teams from 30 years ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 If the players won’t do it then it’s up to the coach. I know it’s not his style but he’s the only one left. McD got the kind of Process roster he asked for. Unfortunately he forgot that there’s times when somebody has to get mad! Coach…it’s that time.

I’ve said enough about McDIMWITT after Sunday to last a full season. Well.. maybe. Was saying Sunday that this team doesn't have a Kyle Williams type. Or a Zo type. The kind of player that when they speak everyone pays attention. Poyer and Hyde, to their credit seem to be trying to fill that role but I don't think they have the same amount of clout that a Kyle Williams would bring. This years team just doesn't seem as close knit as they have been. Players that we have let walk like Shaq Lawson, John Brown and Jordan Phillips...while limited on the field brought a lot of unity to the team and have we have yet to replace that.
