MClem06 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Does anyone feel the need for the locker room to show more emotion towards the rivalry games? I know Stevie said he hates the Pats and that whole comment that went down right before the boston bombings that backfired a bit. BUT I loved that he said something. It shows that they really love being a Buffalo Bill. That's been missing big time. Even though Team Spirit is such a cliché term, it would be nice to show some emotion that everyone would see... Everyone goes back to when the Bills were repeat AFC Champs but it's time to develop their own independence and their own message to other teams. There hasn't been one since.
Cynical Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Does anyone feel the need for the locker room to show more emotion towards the rivalry games? No. I know Stevie said he hates the Pats and that whole comment that went down right before the boston bombings that backfired a bit. BUT I loved that he said something. He also said some comments about nobody being able to cover him before the Pats this year. How did that work out? It shows that they really love being a Buffalo Bill. Or is it he just tired of losing to the Pats? That's been missing big time. Even though Team Spirit is such a cliché term, it would be nice to show some emotion that everyone would see... Everyone goes back to when the Bills were repeat AFC Champs but it's time to develop their own independence and their own message to other teams. There hasn't been one since. Even back then, that took time. Think about it. What kind of animosity does EJ or Robert Wood have against the Jets? Or the Dolphins?
Dorkington Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 We have no room to talk trash. If we become good, go for it (though I'm not a huge fan of it, myself).
Max997 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Rivalries are better when both teams are good The early 90's Bills Dolphins games were great
HamSandwhich Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Actually, Cynical (aptly named BTW), people who went over the game tape have shown that Steve was, in fact, always open. EJ just wasn't looking his way all the time.

Rivalry's are for winning teams.
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 "Talk is cheap," "Actions speak louder than words," "Act your age not your shoe size!" "Anything that you say may be used against you!" People and teams need to remember that all the "trash talk" is eventually put up in the opposing team's locker room, and is used to motivate the opposition against the big mouth's. It is what it is...TRASH!
bills7834 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I'm not a big fan of trash talking. I was a fan of the hatred the team had for the Fins though. I remember Thurman after a big play flexing along the fins sidelines. I think athletes should play fair but when they play with an edge they tend to perform at a higher level. I even see it with the 16 year old travel soccer teams I coach.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 trash talk when you are playing good is one thing. the NYETS have yet to look that good
