YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/19/nfl-news-notes-rumors-ben-roethlisberger-steelers-bills-sean-mcdermott The Bills are coming off their bye and getting their quarterback back, and if nothing else, Sean McDermott and his staff have a young, reworked roster playing as hard as any in the league. The head coach has found little ways to reinforce the message through bumps; for example, he discussed the path the Red Sox took to the World Series title in a team meeting earlier this month, to remind them of the value in resilience. In particular, he pulled out the Sox’ devastating 18-inning loss to the Dodgers in Game 3, and how they bounced back hours later to win Game 4, then won Game 5 the day after that. “It looked like everything was falling apart on them,” McDermott told me. “They used it to really catapult themselves into a stronger team, and they ended up winning it all two days later. Those moments are the ones that you’ve gotta build strength from. And they’re tough, no one wants to lose, but when you’re doing it the right way you’ve gotta use adversity as your ally.” Sure enough, the Bills heard that one, and bounced back from a 41–9 loss to Chicagowith a 41-10 win over the Jets. 1
Coach Tuesday Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Not sure how I feel about this. Boston sports should never be emulated. 5 2
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Never bring up anything Boston related to get your team pumped up, it will just piss off the fans. I root for every team from there to lose, I hate the accent, I hate the fans and I hate Tom Brady. 6 2

metzelaars_lives Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 This seems like a bit of a stretch. 1

BillsVet Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The Red Sox claim to be "small market." Buffalo is a small market. McD would do well to avoid using the Red Sox adversity card ever again. Too many Yankees fans in WNY!

Coach, will all due respect...it's OK to hate the Pats, Bruins, & Celtics, but what RedSox did this past season was historic, and there is no debating this. 1
Epstein's Mother Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The difference is the Red Sox bounced back against a team that wasn't in full-on quit mode.

They were the best team in the league by far, IMO. When the Yankees crushed them in what Game 2 I think it was. The sky was falling then.

I am a bit confused Epstein; what kind of team in the MLB playoffs/World Series would be in full-on quit mode? Am I missing something obvious from your post?

stuvian Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 The Red Sox were in the World Series. We're at the bottom of the AFCE
