  1. It's pretty difficult to win when you not only have to beat the other team, but also make plays to beat yourself. The culture of failure to me goes hand in hand in with not having situational awareness. Im sure a lot of us were thinking before the Leodis fumble on the KO against the Pats, whatever happens just dont get stood up, you know they are going to try and strip the ball. What happens, boom stood up, and fumble. How many times do you watch a receiver make a first down, espcially going across the middle and you say get down. Watch a guy like Welker, he does it consistently. Thats smart football. Or after you got the first down, have 2 hands/arms covering the ball. Or when its better to take a sack and keep the clock running, not get flushed out and fumble like JP did.

     

    To me the culture of failure is real, and its combination of stupid play and poor coaching. If I'm Marrone, I devote entire meetings about situational awareness with film examples.

  2. 2007 Broncos down by 2 with about 3 and half minutes to go. Bills get the ball back and go 3 and out. Denver gets the ball back, at one point the Broncos had a 3rd and 23. Which of courses they convert. Broncos...no timeouts, Javon Walker is tackled in bounds as the final 14 seconds tick away. Of course Denver ran the FG team out, got the kick off with 1 second to go, Elam kicks drills a 42 FG for the win.

     

    Peters got beat bad on the blitz on JP's Jets fumble.

    Believe it or not, they still have a solid shot if they win out, which I know everyone will say is impossible. Using the espn playoff machine, if you give wins to the teams that rank higher in their power rankings the rest of the season and flip one game (GB over Pitt) and make the Bills win out, the Bills would get in at 8-8. At the very least, if they beat TB, Jax and Miami, they should be mathematically alive going into the final week.

     

    I know people get exasperated about the mere mention of the Bills in the playoffs because they are frustrated with the losses and constantly being let down by the Bills. I really get that. But what you have to understand is that the last wild card spot will likely go to a team with a mediocre record, and with three very winnable games coming up for the Bills, there's still a shot.

     

    Dude we havent won 2 in a row all year and you're talking about winning out, 4 in a row, 3 on the road including the Pats at their home field. Plus every future loss of teams ahead of us has to go just right. Good luck with that. Soon you wont have to go to ESPN to play around to find some miracle path to the playoffs and being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs will be a cold hard fact.

  4. I posted this in a different thread but it it fits better in this one.

     

    There were thousands of Falcon fans, a good bit of Bills fans, I really wonder how many actual Canadians attended the game because it cant be that many, this with freebies given out all over town. Im not part of the doom and gloomers talking about the Bills moving north. If these games are any measure of Canadians hunger for American football I dont see it. I swear at points early in the game you could almost follow a conversation in the stands it was so dead. And yes I get that the team playing isnt named Toronto. Maybe Toronto to the shock to noone is a hockey city first and I do think Canadian football fans may think about what having an NFL franchise in one of their largest cities would do to the entire CFL. Just maybe they have some pride and loyalty to a football league played across their country. Really what is the attendance for an Argo's game? Less then 40k in the seats for the NFL....scary .I would be leery if Im an owner going to plunk down close to a billion for a team. Hell American football fans in a great weather city like San Diego are sweating a move. Just becaue Toronto is bigger, doesnt make them an automatic success as an NFL fanbase.
