No how bout them Cowboys, nothing. Shouldnt be holding people to higher standards than you do yourself. I see nothing wrong with holding a professional to a higher standard in public than you hold yourself around family and friends. With that said, I'm all for trash talk AS LONG AS YOU CAN BACK IT UP. The thing about trash talk is it writes a check you have to keep cashing. After all that trash talk our team did, we HAVE to show up for every game. Do we necessarily have to beat the Ravens? No, but we BETTER be competitive and make a game of it. I'm hoping this makes every player go even harder in every aspect including preparation and especially on the field. If we are gonna talk it we have to be it. Not just against the .500 and worse teams which at the end of the day, the Cowboys are. 1
Just Joshin' Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 So it is fine for Zeke to do his "feed me" in a game but not for Bills players to do after a game? Interesting. 1
bobobonators Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 It does not bother me at all. The Bills were completely disrespected by everyone going into that game. Let them chirp a little now. From what I saw, nothing that was done was over the top.
Luka Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Been a long time since our team was the one that could run their mouths a little. Loved it.

I didn’t like the comments about saying Dak shouldn’t get paid. We’ve accomplished nothing yet and are coming off 20 years where we were always on the other side of things. I understand celebrating and having fun, but you can do it without disrespecting the other team and their fans. I know we haven’t been here before, but act like it. You’ve added things that the OP didn’t mention. I don’t mind the DL pounding their chest and walking down field 10 yards after a big play (which is what I think the OP was referencing) but waving goodbye and the Tre mocking Dak’s dance step over the line from having fun to rubbing it in. I agree with you there.
krf139 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 This is what happens when we win. Players celebrate. It’s an emotional game. We just aren’t used to winning

I know we haven’t been here before, but act like it. apologies if this has already been addressed but i didn't read the whole thread. to be fair here, i don't know that the heckling on the sidelines from the fans didn't contribute to what we saw. if we were to use the recent past as a guide, we really haven't seen this type of thing from our guys. which would then tend to tell me and i suspect it is the case, that perhaps their fans were being somewhat obnoxious towards our team. if you dish it out, you had better be ready to take it.

Personally, I don't feel the look-at-me celebrations flatter either of them. I think you need to turn down the suck and turn up the good. 2

If Shaq dances because of a sack and we are down 35-3 I'd say what the hell you dancing about... Not winning at Jerry's world on national television i know this was 10 pages ago but.. i think Virgil was referencing sideline antics and not specifically those of after play celebrations.
TigerJ Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Such reactions are so commonplace in football that I don't pay much attention. Overall, the players on the Bills have an overwhelmingly "team first" perspective. I can live with a little "look at me" behavior. 1
JohninMinn. Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Tre almost cost us the Bengals game. I would like to see things toned down until after the Super Bowl win. Edited November 30, 2019 by JohninMinn.
RochesterLifer Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 I'll add my "grumpy old man" point of view. I prefer that players simply walk back to their teammates after a good/great play. My favorite is when someone acts like they've been there before. However, does it "bother me?" No, it wasn't out of line or obscene and I do not demand that others think like me. Dear Lawson and Philips, kick butt next week and have fun after the play next week. 4
The Frankish Reich Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 My simple rules for When Not to Celebrate. 1. Don't do it when you're team is way behind. You have to be winning, or it has to be one of those potential turning point sacks. 2. Don't do it when YOU didn't do anything special. Shaq going unblocked against Denver and picking up a sack was one of those instances. He celebrated as if he had just beaten a double team with an amazing spin move, but he really just ran in a straight line into the QB who didn't even have a chance. 3. Other than that, as long as it's not taunting (as in "mocking the other team" rather than celebrating your team's accomplishment): have fun out there!

Yes, I’m an old-timer and love watching videos of games from the AFL onwards. Even the biggest game-changing plays didn’t have exuberant celebrations. Maybe a hand slap as they left the field.. Today, a tackle for a loss of 1 yard for the team trailing by 40 points will spur numerous chest bumps, dances & antics. I’m guessing fans like that. I don’t. But I’m old.. I'm old too...I remember the AFL games...players went to huddle after a play. It's ridiculous now 1
Mr. WEO Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Did Tom Hanks's character in Castaway do a "look at me" move after he finally delivered after 4 years? No, he did not... Edited November 30, 2019 by Mr. WEO 2 1
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Bruce Smith showboated CONSTANTLY after his big plays! Let them have a little fun. Jesus 1 1
LSHMEAB Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Quite frankly, it's about time the Bills started playing with a little swagger. When you break it down further, you're singling out PASS RUSHERS. I want my pass rushers getting excited, doing whatever it takes to keep the energy flowing. Zero issues whatsoever. 1
Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 The only time I dislike them are when they happen on an early down, but thats because I want them to be ready for the next play that could be coming quick.
wppete Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 I doesn’t bother me, I love seeing Shaq, Oliver, Hughes, Tre all hype on the. Field especially after huge plays like sacks or TFLs. Also love seeing Feliciano going nuts on the offensive side! He’s a maniac!
