BuffaloBaumer Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 They were starting to fade over the last few weeks and now I think the spotlight will officially shift to the Dolphins in our division. I think this will be a very good thing because for some reason or another, they just seem to crumble when everything is going perfectly. It’s time for the players and coaches to hit reset and reassess their goals. They need to concentrate on winning the division and figure out home-field and everything else that follows after that. Let’s forget about all the commercials, all the trash talking, all the double digit pointspreads and get back to basic football. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just get out of the building with a one point victory. 7 3 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramza86 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This team trounced the rams and the titans when they were 99% healthy. I hate to say the health of this team is everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Bills need to hope the high draft picks they've spent on defense start to pay dividends because the lack of weapons on offense and bad oline play is starting to look worse and worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. Just amazing stuff. Typical luck for us. We were supposed to be on top of a dumpster fire whilst the four in AFC West destroyed each other. Instead it’s the other way round. It’d be nice if we had three dreadful teams to face annually like the Pats at their peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills can go ahead a game with a win against the Vikings. Dolphins may be in the spotlight but eventually they will play a team they can't beat up on and move out of it. Allowing Justin Fields to carve you up for 32 points is indefensible. Edited November 7, 2022 by What a Tuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 It’s a long season with 9 more games. This game represents the clunker we knew our guys had in them. Now we will see if the Bills are the team the national media anointed as SB favorites. The coaching staff and players have to come out next week with fire and win a game. It’s go time.

LeGOATski Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This seems like something that is largely just in fans' heads. Commercials and stuff were filmed before the season. Podcasts are just conversations they have in their free time. Players give zero ***** about point spreads. The struggles are injury-related, scheme-related, execution-related against talented teams that are giving the Super Bowl favorites their best shot. We shouldn't act like the team suddenly lost focus because they're getting attention, which they've gotten since last year...the last two years even. In fact, these are the same types of struggles we've seen every year and it's more just part of the game, the ups and downs of a season, than it is a lack of focus. You really think these guys have lost sight of the actual goal? Seriously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think they have lost focus but I do think that they believe they can just flip a switch and throw 50 yard bombs to get back into the game whenever they want. That is not how this game works And defenses are starting to realize it. Defenses are playing them differently and if they don’t adjust, they won’t even win the division.

They'll probably have momentum going into the playoffs like they have in the past. They'll probably be considered one of the best teams in the league, like they still are right now and have been in the past. Woah, big surprise, right? And fans will act like it's some kind of new development when it's not. "It must've been because the spotlight was taken off them!" Yeah? Really? In my eyes, injuries is the real storyline right now. Pretty much the only true storyline. That's the actual struggle these players are going through. Not focus. 5 minutes ago, BuffaloBaumer said: I do not think they have lost focus but I do think that they believe they can just flip a switch and throw 50 yard bombs to get back into the game whenever they want.

BuffaloBaumer Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Can I be clear that the spotlight is not determining what wins and losses come to this team. I am saying that it will probably be good for the team and the fans if all the hype is focused elsewhere for a few weeks. It would also be nice if Dorsey was watching the Chiefs game right now and would start figuring out how to get some quick releases off to our secondary receivers.
