That might as well of been a lifetime ago, at this point I’m sure the fan base out there is feeling pretty good as they should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Why does this board always seem like it's huffing paint fumes? 🤔 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) These guys are human, and although they are pros and are supposed to have their best day every day, it must be natural for a team that has been good for a while to just want the playoffs to begin. I mean, fans feel it sometimes, like the season is just preseason, especially if you are still trying to get over the playoff hump. You've got this nasty taste in your mouth from last year's playoffs but you can't do anything about it until mid January. We beat KC in KC in the regular season 3 times in a row! But not when it really mattered (this is what I mean). Edited January 4 by TheFunPolice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I wouldn't say fumes is the right word. The offense looks like they're pressing and not playing loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think the Bills have alot of talented, older, expensive vets that get injured as the season wears on. Bills always start the season as though they are shot out of a cannon. the D and O are at full force. But as the season wears on the older vets get injured and the younger inexperienced players have to fill in. Because of cap reasons, the Bills will be forced to get younger in 2024 so the problem should get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the salary cap era. The one big exception is the Tom Brady Patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I'm in the camp that sure last year they really were running on fumes and it's hard to fault them after everything they had to endure....I disagree they are running on fumes right now this season, it's more just an inconsistent level of play.

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. He’s right guys, check the Bills record under McDermott in December. It checks out 2 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: I wouldn't say fumes is the right word.

I don't agree that the team always looks mentally exhausted. But the team does look unexceptional at times. I think that a factor of (1) poor offensive scheming, and (2) an unfair share of injuries to key players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBMB Poster Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I don't know, it seems like they were super amped for the game against Dallas and then to follow that up on a short week, across the country, with no game film because of a new coaching staff I thought they played well, then you can't tell me that the Defense was not amped up to play the Cheaters and totally set the tone. I am sorry, not to be an apologist for the offense, but to go against Belichick's defense is no small task. They did what they had to do to get the W. I thought Bills have played really solid December football. When it comes to wins in December and January, they don't ask how, they just ask how many. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really egregious losses Yeah, the Chiefs loss, where they gave up 17 points after the two minute warning, including the tying score after they went ahead with 13 seconds left, wasn't that bad at all. It wasted the greatest postseason a QB ever had and probably cost them a Super Bowl title, but it's okay because they were playing a #2 seed.

Well, I guess this would explain why they are currently 4-12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
