Not Applicable Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It's felt this way the past three seasons. They just always seem mentally exhausted. Tons of games where they have no spark, nothing goes smoothly, players constantly looking beleaguered and embattled...it's weird, right? I can't put my finger on it, but there has been something off mentally with them for a long time. My gut says it's coaching, but the players supposedly like McDermott & Co. 3 3 8 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Every fan base outside of Baltimore and SF are probably feeling the same way. 8 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I thought the same thing until I took the long Xmas NY break to watch as many games as possible. Every team looked bad outside of Baltimore and even at that I felt there were signs the Ravens are not invincible and can be exploited by an equally physical team (IE: Browns, Chiefs or Bills).

I’m sure the players love McDermott, he seems like a genuine good guy, but is he championship caliber? 1 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 4 minutes ago, Governor said: Brady killed our passing game for good so we go as far as our OL can take us. They will need to dominate from here on out. Brady doesn’t throw the ball. Even Josh admitted the passes didn’t feel good spinning out of his hand against the Pats. He missed a few open TDs. He also played rather mediocre against the Chargers in another “gotta have it” game. All Brady can do is scheme up the offense and call the plays, it’s up to those on the field to capitalize on what’s available. And the offense has left plenty of points on the board. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 3. 2021 we were pretty dominant with a very small period of a funk. Other than that, we were great.

gobills404 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The Bills have lost 1 game by more than 1 score over the last 3 years and 0 games over the last 2 calendar years. If you wanna question coaching and execution late in close games then I’m all ears, but to suggest this team lacks consistent energy or motivation could not be further from the truth. They show up ready to play as often as any other team in the NFL. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It felt like this in the late 80's/early 90's. The price of being a great team that can't seem to get over the hump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
