    So the two games we've won don't prove anything, but one loss will.  And even if we win (and are 3 - 0), it doesn't show that we're good.  Makes a TON of sense...

     

    :beer: 

     

    Finally you are starting to get it.

     

    There are only two different outcomes for losers (which "Negifans" imagine the Bills to be) -  1. a LOSS  or   2. Not a LOSS ? ?

     

    So to these "Negifans" the Bills have two Not Loses.

     

    BTW, "Negifan's" fear disappointment so their main objective is to NEVER get their hopes up!

    It's also a trap game with the Pats looming on the horizon.  However, MCd is good at keeping them focused, and the Offense is getting better each week.  

     

    MOST of the Bills current roster are young.

     

    They do not carry around all of the baggage filled with the woes of Bills teams of yesteryear.  They probably don't fall asleep thinking "lions and tigers and PATRIOTS - oh my".

     

    They are well aware the the Pats are a formidable foe. But I don't think McDermott will let them think, for one minute, that the Pats are unbeatable.

     

    I just watched the Miami game - with only a little over two minutes left in the 3rd quarter the score was 16-0.  Where have I seen that score recently?

     

    Go Bills!

    Why Successful Teammates Clap For Mistakes

    What would make successful teammates CLAP for mistakes?

    Aren’t they damaging and destructive?

    Well, if repeated without recognition, yes.

    But I would argue that how you and your team handle mistakes is the key determining the difference between your organization and your competition.

    Sincere and sustained great effort will always result in a few mistakes. A group that is prepared to cope with those mistakes in a positive way will always outperform those who become frustrated from or fearful of the experience of errors.

    Let me explain.

    Legendary basketball coach John Wooden used to tell his teams that “the team who makes the most mistakes will probably win.”

    Like any other experience, mistakes are an opportunity to improve - or to implode.

    How you and your teammates handle setbacks or mistakes or adversity is one very significant way to gain an advantage – or suffer a defeat – due to your responses.

    The truth is that swimmers don’t drown because they go underwater...

    They only drown if they stay there.

    So what I have shared with teams over the recent past is a simple and effective response to mistakes or human error that ALWAYS results in better performance.

    I ask them to CLAP.

    That’s right.

    When you or your teammates commit a mistake, the key behavior that will allow you to “bounce beyond” it is an immediate and intentional three claps.

    And as you clap three times in succession, teach yourself to remember the following steps to overcoming mistakes mentally and getting back to competing successfully:

    Claim it, Learn from it, And Play through it!

    Claim it

    Start by acknowledging the mistake and admitting responsibility.

    Own the behavior, or you will remain a victim who must wait on someone else to change for circumstances to improve! If you point the finger of blame at others, your team will not get any better until they do – but if YOU claim responsibility, you also claim control and power to make things better yourself.

    Learn from it

    Second, understand what happened so you don’t repeat it.

    If you have to lose a point, or a possession, or a sale, don’t lose the lesson the experience offers! Make the necessary adjustments to your training, your behavior, your mental playlist, and your attitude so that you can succeed the next time you are in that situation!

    Play through it

    Finally, commit to making the next play.

    Too often, athletes find themselves letting one bad play affect the next play and become a string of mistakes instead of an isolated event. The next play is the only one you can control – so invest your effort in playing harder rather than pouting!

    If we handle mistakes better than our opponents, over time we will be more successful.

    To ensure a positive and productive response, work on clapping to yourself and use this method to move beyond adversity.

    People who work hard and take risks will invariably make mistakes.

    That is not the issue. The issue is whether you will drop your chin, pout, and complain about the past... or focus on the future and make it better because of what you learned!

    Everything in life will either make you better or make you bitter...

    Our response to mistakes – ours and our teammates’ – is the difference between winning and losing! With three simple claps, you can inspire better behaviors and positive team development.

    Instead of looking backward and replaying the mistake over and over in your mind, clap past it and turn it into more productive reminders and encouragements for the next play...

    Great teams clap for mistakes.

    If your group needs to work together through adversity and improve communication, team building events can act as a fun and impactful catalyst for the changes you desire, and will help you to create a more cohesive culture.

    Week Two: Bills at Giants

    I just feel Barkley will be too much for the Bills. I see a high scoring game, like 31-28. I think the Bills lose a close as the Giants will play loose.

     

    Josh Allen throws for 350 yards and 3 TDs but the D let's us down.

    My fear is that the Giants love to dump it to Barkley. The Bills defense wants you to dump it off. I just think Barkley is going to have 100 yards receiving this game. 

     

    This is my hope.

    The Bills hardly ever put up a good defense and offense game. It always seems to be one or the other, mostly defense. The defense is do for a stinker and the offense is due for a big game.

     

    This seems like a very painful pastime...

    His theatrics, such as those strange hats, make me wonder if his head is in the game 24x7 and if he sees himself more as an entertainer than a professional QB committed to bringing his best every Sunday.  My advice, drop all the nonsense and get to work or give it up. 

     

    Spot on - Thank you!

     

    He is acting like it is a big joke and everyone else is acting like ( "uncle Cam does not have a lampshade on his head" ) he is OK...
