Gman10 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) 10 hours ago, Special K said: I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere in the 60 pages of this thread, but 8 of Denver's 10 wins came from teams with losing records, and the 9th win came against the Chiefs with none of their players.....this is a fraudulent 10 win team starting a rookie QB in a road playoff game where rookies in that situation are 5-17 historically......there should be no hand-wringing over this game. Bills win and cover the 9 point spread, IMO. I just worry because last season Bills were suppose to smash a bad Denver team in Buffalo and got beat by a worse Denver team than we are facing today. I assume we still win today, just don't think Denver will be a walk over like everyone thinks. go Bills! Edited January 11 by Gman10 1 Quote

Magox Posted January 11 Posted January 11 1 hour ago, nucci said: why would they need that? Isn't a playoff game enough motivation? Because some people use it as extra motivation effectively. Michael Jordan and Tom Brady to name a couple. Jordan was known to take the slightest perceived personal slights and leverage it as extra motivation to kick your ass up and down the court. These sort of things exist and many people who played competitive sports understand this to be true 1 Quote

97bills Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The bills are going to pound the ball at Denver, I don’t think it’s going to be a big game from Allen. 200 rushing yards this game. Go bills. Quote

The impulse to whine is powerful, not just because injustice rankles so much (not just in our species, see below) but also because wiser perspectives, such as wisely understanding that the truth will prevail, don't come easily for most of us. FWIW, I've found that complaining, like flame wars, ultimately makes me feel worse than simply shutting up, so I try to shrug off the slings and arrows, for my own sake. I'll get to the wisdom part when I'm (even) older. My public service announcement for today! 😀 3 1 2 Quote

WotAGuy Posted January 11 Posted January 11 For all of you counting on the Bills playing against a rookie QB, I’m here to tell you those 10-12 years of college ball make Nix at least a 3-year vet. 3 Quote

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Dumb question here. If we spread these guys out with 5-wide sets, how do they defend that? I know that’s not our usual MO, but that has to absolutely conflict a man-heavy/blitz team, right? They couldn’t dare rush more than 4, and if they did rush 4, that would leave basically only two defenders to have to account for Allen’s legs and to help in coverage. Quote
zow2 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Turning out to be a nice day for the game, 34 and light winds. I agree the Bills will want the Oline to dominate the trenches and run, but it will be good passing weather for both clubs. and if the Bills want to win handily they will need some chunk passing plays.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 11 Posted January 11 2 hours ago, eball said: The greatest players in the world have always looked for extra motivation…Michael Jordan thrived on it. It matters. In the long term, yes. How motivated you are to improve effects your nutrition, work ethic, level of effort in the weight room room and on grid iron if the off season. It absolutely matters to many athletes and often separates the goods from greats. That said, it is a false concept that a motivation such as discussed in this thread would have a immediate impact on their performance. They are already highly motivated and incentivized. They will not be running faster, hitting harder or playing smarter because you got snubbed from national media recognition. As soon as the game starts, if a player is thinking “I’m going to show them that i should have been a pro bowler” then they’ve already lost. 1 Quote
