This has been a problem for years....way too many penalties on returns. (Not a bills issue - general NFL rules issue). Just another reason returns are awful. Just give the teams the ball at the 25 on KOs and require FCs on punts. Forget this nonsense.
I don’t care who you are or how old you are. You do that flight - you have jet lag. End of story. Whether or not you can overcome it and perform is a different story. But there is definitely a difference in how these teams are feeling right now. It’s just a fact. Gotta overcome it though. Pretty crappy on the nfl both teams aren’t feeling the same.
Im watching Eli and Peyton and they have no clue what to say. it's kinda funny - they clearly (and admittedly) planned to spend the entire game talking about Rogers...now they are pretty clueless what to talk about - except what they WOULD have said if rogers was in.
This is probably the right attitude. A few years ago we were the underdog. The surprise team that took the league by storm. That helps being the underdog. Last year we were supposed to win it all (so we thought). For a million reasons - that didn't happen. Now people are expecting us to just be back in the pack. Gives us a chance to play that underdog role again. We're a good team. We're a Super Bowl team. But we have to scratch and claw our way there. Nothing will be given to us this year. Thats a good thing. And barring significant injuries - we should be back in the AFC Championship game at a minimum.
