Leadership isn't as strong this year, and McDermott's voice may not be connecting like it once was. I also just believe Josh absorbs all the stress & chatter fans do. I actually think the opposite I could see this team being lax and putting forth a mediocre effort if they go into the game knowing they are in regardless If their backs are against the wall, I think they come out ready to roll 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Our defense is playing lights out considering all the injuries we’ve had on that side of the ball…. I’m pretty confident that will continue Sunday night in Miami….

Paul Costa Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, BigDingus said: Nick Wright actually made a point I agree with today (among many I disagree with). He said if the Steelers lose Saturday, he expects the Bills will play significantly better Sunday knowing they're only playing for seeding. But if Steelers win, the Bills having 24 hours digesting the added pressure will make them come out tight & play worse. Leadership isn't as strong this year, and McDermott's voice may not be connecting like it once was. I also just believe Josh absorbs all the stress & chatter fans do. I disagree. Bills are going into this week with a win & get the #2 seed mentality. They have a great opportunity to change the whole season around. I think we are going to play well. And if we play well we win.

Anything to put the Bills in a negative light. Wright will pick against us every step of the way - and when we win, there will always be some reason unrelated to actually deserving the win. I like the other guys on that show, but simply cannot watch it anymore. He's trying to become the heir to Bayless. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, finn said: I preferred Jake Kumerow. Dude seemed to catch everything thrown at him. By contrast, Sherfield has caught just 8 balls on 18 targets. Factually, in 3 years in Buffalo, Kumerow had 7 receptions on 14 targets. I guess that’s better than 8 receptions on 18 targets, but how is that “everything thrown at him?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charms the media without really giving them anything, doesn’t insult the opposition, makes it about his teammates.

You talking about the team with the longest active winning streak in the NFL? Or are you talking about the team whose defense has been downright stifling for the past month, allowing an average of under 300 total yards offense during that time? Taking the ball away at will? Closer look at the offense shows they are just a couple plays away execution wise from being absolutely explosive again.

He is a great recruiter, not a great coach, imo. As long as his talent is superior to his opponent's (i.e. SF, UM) it typically overcomes the multiple mistakes he regularly makes. Additionally, he is much better off in college where players have less power and only have to put up with his idiocy and attitude for 2-3 years. Every pro job he ever takes will likely blow up in his face within 3-4 years when adults and professionals are done with his stupidity and self-important ignorance. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
