LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 A really well done piece on the people of Buffalo, the team and tragic events of this year and how it brought out the best in both. So proud to see how the community & team rallied around each other and in many ways are dependent on one another when a tragedy strikes. 1 19 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 On top of the events the film mentioned, there was also the big storm that pushed the team out of Orchard Park for a week, and the heat stroke game sitting in the sun in Miami. I understand the theme of the film is the connection between the team and the community, and that's beautiful to see, but looking at it from only the team's perspective, this has been the season from hell, and they came together, fought through it, had a season with excellent results, and are in position to make it back to the SB. They didn't dominate that many games this year, except the first two and the Pittsburgh game, but considering the injuries to Hyde, Miller, Milano, Oliver, Poyer, Hamlin, Edmunds, White, Benford, Morse and Allen (and I'm forgetting some others), to keep winning and winning and winning despite the challenges, is ridiculously impressive. Maybe all that will go into the film they make after the Bills win the Super Bowl. 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also add Knox losing his younger brother right before the start of the season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the "heat stroke" game, Allen said most of the players didn't fully recover until something like Thursday or Friday. That's some significant effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to the fact of just how hot that game was, it was only the 3rd game of the year and starters not playing but only a series or 2 in preseason nowadays, players are still getting into game shape in September. At 1 point in the 4th quarter the offense had no Diggs, McKenzie & Knox, all were missing time due to heat related issues. Add to that to a very gimpy Gabe and being on their 3rd string Center and backup RG & RT. I have no idea how they managed 497 yards of offense that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox losing his brother...and a big one no one talks - The mysterious indisposition of Kim, the CoOwner of the Buffalo Bills. IT has been one hell of a season. I hope the team has become strong to lift the lombardi come February. Go Bills ! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, adding items that others have mentioned, just trying to get them all into one place: -- Luke Dawson's death -- Kim Pegula's health issue -- Dane Jackson's gruesome injury -- also Jamison Crowder's injury -- also Dion Dawkins's injury -- also Spencer Brown's injury -- also the losses of Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen The Timex of NFL teams. They take a licking, and they keep on ticking. (What, you're not old enough to remember that?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet if they had managed an even 500 they would have won. Their last chance came with the Bills just outside the end zone, with Allen missing McKenzie on a pass play he could do in his sleep. But Allen and the rest of the Bills were just shot. It was a heroic effort and it was a shame that they lost like that. And it's really outrageous that the Miami stadium is designed like that. The coin flip at the start of the game should be for which team gets to sit in the shade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter what the Dolphins don't utilize in the shade. The team baking in the sun should have whatever they need to ensure player health/safety. .... Seems logical ..... league needs to break their one size fits all rules in this case. Edited January 14, 2023 by Kornfed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
