Yeah - nobody in sports but announcers use the term Momentum.

Momentum is such an X factor in NFL games. I think more so than in any other sport. It has so much to do with upset games, big comebacks, last minute victories and halftime turnarounds. Nothing is more difficult than getting 11 players to successfully execute as a unit - positive momentum always seems to be the one thing that can do it time and time again. When your team has a momentum surge, you ride it like a wave. The NFL is mostly a parity league.....the differences between winners and losers can be so thinly marginal. Gotta ride that momentum when you have it. Most of my frustrations from yesterday have been well documented by others on the board, but the one that really got me yesterday was our offensive possession after JL's interception. Cincy was driving strong to go up at least by 10 and most likely by 14. They were moving the ball on us at will at that point in the game. Pettine called a great defensive shift on them and JL caught a rare mistake by Dalton. Took what looked to be a runaway game and gave the Bills a chance to tie it. We have a running QB that Cincy had almost no film on....we have 2 very fast WR's....we have supposedly an entire playbook of up-tempo offense......and we have momentum. After a pick like that, the offense comes on the field strapped in.....receivers are ready to run harder. What an opportunity to go right for the jugular. Run something different! Get their DC guessing. You're on house money on this drive. Flea flicker? End around? Roll out? RB pass? Naked bootleg? pass out of an obvious running front? Play action?????? Nope....ran a slowly developing screen and lost 3. They were ready for it. Burfict came in like a missile - could have killed Freddy - fooled nobody. Sets up obvious passing situation (empty backfield) on 2nd down and they completely had us from there. SACK. 3rd and 20. (this would have been the spot for a screen but we went empty backfield instead and signaled the pass rush to dig in) My point is our play calling on first down set the tone - we choked and handed the momentum back to Cincy. We should have destabilized their DC with something different....instead we let him call the perfect D because we did NOTHING different there. We connect and we send them into the tunnel worrying about us in the 2nd half......even if we miss, we get them to think about how they call the D against us. Great offenses ride that momentum, immediately attack you vertically and make you pay for that pick. We required an all-world punt from B-Mo to prevent Cincy from trying to score. Our OC/HC gave momentum/opportunity away there with predictably bad play calling. Am I wrong Dude???

Moorman was awesome today...surprised to not have seen him in the thoughts today.....too bad the coverage failed us in OT. 12th man was alive and loud today.....proud to see it.

A Marshawn Lynch type RB.....think Seattle would send him our way for a 4th? kidding!!! OC Healthy EJ gaining confidence on the deep ball TE or large bodied WR LG Not that far away kids....this team is gaining experience in a lot of close games with good teams. So many elements are in place. Play calling today was as much as a factor in the loss as some of the execution. Hackett makes me angrier than any player on this team. I liked some of the shake-n-bake from Thad....he looked more mobile than EJ threw a nice long ball but had no feel in the pocket. Too many sacks. Our D turned NASTY during the comeback..was indicative of what they could be if they are properly motivated...so sorry it took having their noses rubbed in tiger poo on a 4th and 15 to wake up. Our DTs stuffed the run and Dalton could not find an open receiver. We looked top class during that stretch. Byrd: welcome back....i'll give you one game to get your game speed back....I will be expecting bigger things from a top paid Safety. Another bitter pill Bills faithful......I believe very strongly....we are not that far away.

Defensive STRUGGLE all the way - 17-10 BILLS Difference makers: FredEx - grinding it out today Kiko - timely pick Goodwin sets up the offense with a short field on a couple of scoring drives. Their TE's are a mismatch....we must shut them down.

When Kiko dials 911 for emergency, his other phone rings. Secretly, in his next lifetime, Kiko wishes he was a third round pick....he likes the chip on his shoulder.....just wishes it was bigger.

Pure greed.

This Nike neon-military thing has totally lost me.

2 SB's since 07 5 SB appearances 4 Wins (One we are VERY familiar with) Not the team to be picking on from a Bills board BUT They are putrid this year.

Bring the nasty on Thursday my man.

Can we please have a quick calculation of the total $ figure this young man has made for being a 1 game wonder? I am sure it's breathtaking. What a country.

Kiko's decision tree: -Can I pick it off -Can I tackle it -Can I fuk it -Can I kill it -Can I eat it

Kiko is Heizenberg

this

Marcellasaurus.

OK for now..... But if we are with Leo/Byrd/Gilmore back again.......man up the corners.....Pressure the QB......put Kiko in space and have Byrd back there when the errant throw comes. I cannot wait to see the D in full fruition with Pettine at the helm.

ummmmm....THIS too

This.

Hackett CLEARLY grew up playing Madden...his play calling is on par with the 19 y.o. stoners playing Madden over the internet.

TJ Graham instead of Russell (f-king) Wilson. that is all. I lied...that is not all.... Byrd: Go F-ck yourself you greedy c-nt.

The defining moment of this franchise turning a corner.

The single most disruptive defensive player in the history of the game....lived every bit of the lifestyle as well. My screen name was in his honor: read his autobiography to find that FilthyMcNasty was his college nickname at UNC.

"this is a winning football team this season, a good bet for the playoffs and maybe more" Crawl - Walk - Run - Sprint - Superbowl ^^^^ (^^^^ - Denotes our current state) I love the optimism brotha....lets win 2 in a row....re-evaluate then.

As a young kid, I was taken to several Bills games at Shea.....My Father wanted to go in plain clothes but my Mother made sure to represent....talkin proud days. Those fans were animals to us....a young family.....nasty animals. Even now, I go to the Bills game every year at MetLife....classless. I think they are the absolute bottom of the barrel in the NFL (tied with Philly). We will see greatness many times over before they do once (well once more). Karma.

+1 ....Seems like a decade ago, many of us probably forgot.
