stuvian Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I can't take TNF or London games seriously any more. NYJ needed this game more than we did and it showed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 oh piss off jets had the same time to prepare and they humiliated us. Grow up. He said it's unfair on everybody. He was speaking concerning all players that play Thursday games not their loss to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hes got a good point. The team was really dragging last night. If guys are banged up on one team, it is a real disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I didnt know that whining is part of the process. Playoff teams still manage to win these games vs mediocre opponents.

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Grow up. He said it's unfair on everybody. He was speaking concerning all players that play Thursday games not their loss to the Jets He wouldn't have said anything about it though if the Jets hadn't handed him and his team a very humiliating loss ion prime time TV. Irvin said it best and they were proven inadequate. Went back and listened to the interview and he didn't sound as bad live as the quotes read. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21270122/richie-incognito-buffalo-bills-critical-thursday-night-football-games Edited November 3, 2017 by Bills Fan of Maryland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I agree. The Jets stayed home to practice/rest more while Bills had to travel to NYC on short week with less practice/rest. Yeah because travelling from Buffalo to NYC is so freaking difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You mean you haven't read all those studies about how difficult it is for the road team traveling east? well NY is a wide state, the jet lag from those 30-45 minute flights can be killer I hear. It's never a good look when you complain about how unfair something is when it doesn't appear to have had any affect on the other person. The Jets didn't appear to have any issues playing on the short week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice_32 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 We are a talent deficient team. We win by being over-prepared. That hurts on short rest but there is no excuse for what was an obvious lack of effort last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The Thursday night games are a crapfest for the most part. I didn't feel great about this game at all, then again I felt the same about the Raiders game and look what happened there. They just looked tired from the get-go. Then McCoy got dinged up and couldn't really play the way he wanted. And I understand why they have Mike Tolbert on the team, but I think they really need to reevaluate that and think about bringing someone else in or allowing Banyard or even Jones to take some snaps because these 1 yard dives by Tolbert aren't doing much.

Livinginthepast Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The should have the 2 teams that have a bye the previous week play the Thursday night game. Cant be too hard to figure that out. That way there are no excuses. Also please kill the London games they are almost but not quite as bad as the Bills in Toronto series!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I didn't read that as him using it as an excuse as to why they lost, not sure why others are either. I guess people hear what they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd1 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I wonder what if the home team/road team winning percentage is skewed for Thursday night games? I wouldn't be surprised. Different teams can be affected differently...different coaching staffs, new coaching staffs, more injuries the game before, etc. I believe the Bills are a better team than the Jets, and I believe these Bills will make the playoffs. I don't believe the Jets will make the playoffs. I don't know, there may be quotes from the past where he has voiced displeasure with TNF, no? There have been plenty of player complaints. I don't think ANY of the players or coaches have done anything other than say negative things about TNF. I don't consider TNF games to be a true measure of the teams. And all this "suck it up" from the fans is ridiculous. NONE of you have to actual play in these games, so how could you have any idea what you're talking about? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/03/home-teams-have-fared-well-since-start-of-thursday-night-tv-package-in-06/ According to the Spreadapedia database, home teams have won at 62.4 percent clip on Thursdays since 2006. This 58-35 mark includes NFL Kickoff and Thanksgiving games. By contrast, on all other days in this same span, home sides have won at a 56.6 percent rate (1,140-873-3). well NY is a wide state, the jet lag from those 30-45 minute flights can be killer I hear. It's never a good look when you complain about how unfair something is when it doesn't appear to have had any affect on the other person. The Jets didn't appear to have any issues playing on the short week. Boy, you sure haven't traveled much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well it's post game comments after getting beat down. Nothing to see here. Thursday games are dumb how they set them up though. I'm not sure why they don't just do Monday night double headers. I always love those on opening night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
