    Where was the leadership - Von Miller?

    Or have mental breakdowns and turn to drugs/alcohol to try and cope or commit suicide. But in your world that likely doesn't happen either.  Must be a great world you live in.  But it isn't the one called reality. When you choose to join the rest of us in it let me know. Until then you can go on ignore.

     

    I love it ,  you truly are one of the worst posters on this board.  Alcoholism,  drugs, suicide?  What does that have to do with losing badly at home in the playoffs and your excuses about climbing mountains?

    You'll understand someday when it happens to you.

     

    Please stop.  At the end of the day football is just a game.   There are a lot of people out in the real world who deal with life's ups and downs and and continue to perform at a high level when needed in important  essential jobs despite facing constant adversity throughout.  They don't make excuses about snow storms or summer heat like you do.

    No. You simply sound clueless.

     

    Direct quote from John Wawrow's article in the AP from a guy as connected as anyone in the local media:

    https://apnews.com/article/buffalo-bills-cincinnati-bengals-von-miller-nfl-super-bowl-184cba878a8cc0a3168231096f6aab1e

     

    "Adversity finally caught up to the Buffalo Bills, who were left depleted and defeated while closing an emotionally draining season two wins short of their Super Bowl aspirations.

    Unable to draw on the motivational inspiration of injured teammate Von Miller displaying the Super Bowl trophy he won last year in the locker room this week or injured safety Damar Hamlin’s surprise appearance at the stadium Sunday, the Bills delivered a dud in a 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in a divisional playoff game.

    “Keep their head up,” coach Sean McDermott said he told his players afterward. “Even though this hurts, I’m proud of them in the way that they handled themselves with class this year in the ups and downs and the adversity they faced.

    “They’ll take that with them, but for right now, this stings. I wish it were a different result.”

    The Bills were flat from the beginning, seemingly spent from a two-month stretch in which they watched in stunned horror as Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati on Jan. 2, had their schedule disrupted by two winter storms, and showed signs of fatigue in a sloppy 34-31 playoff-opening win over Miami last week."

     

    But yeah, you must be right.

    Wawrow is paid to write stuff like that .  It doesn’t mean it’s true .  Emotionally depleted is a euphemism for getting butt whooped by the better team unfortunately in this case .  Can’t put lipstick on a pig

    Oh it's certainly valid.

     

    Well...let's see.

     

    Tops Shooting in the summer

    Massive injuries to the secondary seemingly the entire 1st half of the year(Hyde out/Poyer hurt/PS corner starting most of the Miami game)

    Heat Exhaustion game in Miami

    Snowvember game moved to Detroit followed by a short week again for Thanksgiving back in Detroit

    Loss of Von(who was talked about as the "final piece on D")

    3 games in 12 days

    Second massive snowstorm/blizzard that killed 40+ people and having to leave early and come back to a crazy scene after missing Christmas with their family

    Damar Hamlin situation and the emotional energy that it took to come play the next week

     

    It's been a really tough 6 months for WNY. Maybe the toughest I have ever experienced here in totality.  There are times *I* felt drained this year from going thru all of this.  With a team that connects and feels as part of the community more than any other perhaps in all of sports would it be any wonder they felt that heaviness and the emotional and mental toll it took? Trying to win and play for all of WNY? Let alone them having to go thru all of the stuff with the football aspects and trying to keep it together(which they did a better job than I think any could reasonably have expected).

     

    They are humans...eventually you simply run out of gas when you don't get a chance to refuel.

     


    The Tops shooting had no more effect on the Bills than the average person in Buffalo,  maybe even less so given the privilege afforded by high salaries in football. If the Miami game in the heat was still weighing on them in December ,  I don’t know what to say . The Bills were not in Buffalo for the brunt of the snowstorm and got bused back in on Christmas Day after flying to Rochester despite a driving ban and after asking inappropriately for a police escort: 

     

    I guess my point is starting to get through now?

    No, you just saw a team that was mentally and emotionally drained from having to climb countless mountains during the year and it finally exerted a physical toll on them.

     

     

    Countless mountains huh.   I counted one.   The rest would be the kind of stuff other teams face as well

    I’m over this defensive scheme. Bring in a new DC.

    That's not necessarily true...they led the NFL in stuffs this year by a wide margin...that didn't have anything to do with making mistakes, that is simply playing on the other side of the LOS.

     

    The issue is in big games against good offenses they play timid.

     

    Nope. The issue is lack of talent and a sound defensive philosophy.  You can play aggressive all day but if you have JAGs and hobbled DBs coming back from ACL surgery on your defense , they won't put up much of a fight against more talented players.

    They are if you buy through the team. Each team gets an allocation. I assume you have to win a season ticket seniority based lottery to get that shot.


    yup there is a lottery but that’s very limited .  so the average person either has to go secondary market or official ticket package where the price is 5 k per

    Ravens and Lamar do not reach contract agreement

    They win that game last night if Lamar is the QB. 


    One of the pre game analysis shown yesterday was how Ravens were averaging around 25 points a game with Lamar this season.  Without Lamar it went down to 15 ish.   Big drop off there,  so unless the Ravens are planning on totally rebooting on offense and tanking next season ,they will pay either through franchise or new contract .

    Lots of things being ruled out does not mean there could be some other condition that has not been discovered.  This is good news, hopefully he is 100% healthy and can even consider coming back to play but I would think there would always be a concern, what if...  I think Reggie Lewis had some DR's saying he should not continue and one gave him the all clear, that did not go well.

     

    Lewis went shopping for a doc who would clear him despite multiple experts saying he should not play again due to a heart defect.  Would think that type of thing should not happen in this day and age.
