theRalph Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Harrison Phillips is a very intelligent, well-spoken man. His presser is great...he is so real. Which makes it all the more remarkable that, when questioned by John Wawrow (AP), Harrison was not aware the Bills were 0-6 in one score games. Are you shiiiiting me??? I'm sure many fans—me included— have spent a lot of the season worried about this very thing....starting with the week one loss. It was a trend early on, with a L-W-L-W-L-W pattern in the middle of the season that saw the Bills unable to win close games. Hell, they even let the shhiiiitty teams stay close at the end of the season...but ended up blowing them out. That this team has an intelligent player such as Horrible Harry that is unaware of a blatantly obvious and telling stat makes me wonder about the level of "5000 foot view" awareness that's lost when a player or coach is nose-to-the-ground grinding all season. What a silly question....they didn't even know enough to keep 17 off the phuuucking ManningCast.

MJS Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Players focus on one game at a time. They move on to the next game. This is the kind of stuff that fans and the media focus on, not players. 3 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not something any player should be concerned with in the least. Win or lose, close game or a blow out, it’s always on to the next game. Always. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) When you have basically only blowout wins and close losses it is more a reflection of bad luck than anything else. 6 games is in no way shape or form a statistically significant sample size (most agree its more like 100 events, but some say more like 30). Flip a coin 6 times and there is a decent chance you may get heads 6 times or tails 6 times. Toss it 100 times and you are going to get something like somewhere between 35-65 split almost every time. Players care about wins and losses, not by how much. That's for fans to nitpick about. Edited January 25, 2022 by Mark80 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the ManningCast superstition nonsense. Neither changes how they have to do their job. I am somewhat familiar with this concept having been involved in industries over the years where things often get extremely over-analyzed by outsiders and they find it surprising when I don't pay any attention at all to noise and irrelevant information. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’m more concerned that McDermott apparently thought we had a 4-point lead after our last touchdown… 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Coaches and players are more than capable of learning from their mistakes. The problem with the Bills and especially McD is how often he makes new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I find this surprising but not sure it affects much. I remember when Tanneyhill was a rookie on Hard Knocks......they were explain to him divisions and conferences and how the NFL is structured. He has NO CLUE. At one point they were talking about how the CHargers would be good that year and he was not sure if they were AFC/NFC or in his division.

JMF2006 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He probably knows/knew but players like to say all that matters is the game in front of them and that they don't dwell on the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't make you play any differently in close games than in blowouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
