Do you tell the team the outcome of Jags/Titans?

[Danger Mouse]

Of course. 

 

Miami were dangerous to us if we were uptight and conservative. If we're expansive and creative, we'll have a lot more fun.

 

Try to annihilate them from the start

Don’t get me wrong it’s nice to be in the playoffs but the outcome of the titans game really shouldn’t matter whatsoever on today’s game.  The #2 seed is massively important.  If you can’t get a bye a chance at 2 home games (possibly 3) is about as good as it gets.

Something like this you cant control. They will know - its not like the Ravens Dolphins game that you can wipe from the scoreboard

Do they live in a bunker?

Apparently they have to hand over their phones on Friday afternoon and get them back on the plane home 

[That's No Moon]

Yes I tell them. The hope is it relieves some pressure and they come out and play fast and loose and beat the 💩 out of Miami

[stevestojan]

The ONLY one who might not know is Jake Fromm but I think the let him out of his bunker and I also am pretty sure he’s not on our team anymore. 
 

But in the fantasy land with all comms cut off? Hell yes you tell them. So much less pressure and that makes them play better. I think by clinching, the bills dominate tonight. It’s ask gravy at this point. (Really good gravy, but gravy nonetheless).

I think it’s impossible for them to be away from people for that long without finding something out it’s not like they are sequestered in the locker room. The motivation to get two playoff games at home especially against their old friends the Chiefs is all the motivation they need 

Forget being away from people. As soon as they run out onto the field it will be on the scoreboard.

Yes, I would. I'd say guys you are in the dance, the pressure is lifted, now go make a damn statement that says the road goes through Buffalo. 

Yep I was kind of for not telling them when it was up in the air but now that we know we're in, release the tension then tell to go kick their ass anyway, lighting up that stupid Guitar.

Are we sure?

 

Jake Fromm wondering if any of the Bills QBs have Covid in 2023:

[MJS]

Whay wouldn't they know?

[Southern_Bills]

Are we pretending in the world of social media there is a way to keep it from them?

 

Unless they make the decision they don't want to know it's impossible. Try recording a game these days lol.

The Bills are going to work hard to get the #2 Seed when it is in offer.  The Bills are one 12-man in the field call away from being 8-0 at Highmark Stadium and they will love to have the opportunity to play two games at home in the playoffs.  Go Bills !!!

I would definitely tell them.  Honesty and dealing with reality are in short supply these days. 

Well said my friend.

I know there will be no hiding it from them but in a different world where you could control it do you tell them the outcome? Do you let them know they're guaranteed to make the playoffs? Do you not tell them to make them feel the pressure? Maybe if they know they play more loose?

[BillsFanForever19]

If we're playing the "in a different world" card, I'd prefer to imagine the one where we have the 1 seed locked up and tonight means nothing.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Yes, I believe positive loose vibes yield better results than the crucible of pressure.  Imagine the tension release of making the playoffs after losses like Denver and Philly happened this season.

They all got on a plane yesterday afternoon before the first game and have been together since, if the team collectively wanted to not know they could not know.
