Trader Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Maybe it's just my disappointment after a loss. I want him to care as much as I do. He seemed relieved to have the pressure off of him. Actually I don' t think he cares a lot about winning. Is it possible he lost so much at Stanford he is accustomed to to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it possibly have anything to do with a lack of urgency infused by his current HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The problem is any poster on this board would suit up for the Bills next week for free for "The love of the Game". Pro atletes don't have that feeling. Everyone today laughs and jokes on the sideline while down by 20. The only time you see real emotion is when a team gets knocked out of the playoffs. Maybe the difference is today all the way down to Little League, Pop Warner, it's stressed that winning doesn't matter. Many youth leagues don't even keep score anymore. So maybe this is just partly a product of that generation now playing professionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to go into the store tomorrow and put in a emotionless, half baked effort, just collecting checks as possible sales walked out, I would deservedly be disciplined, but for professional athletes it is different. The effort (or lack there of) put in by this team today was an embarassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many youth leagues don't even keep score anymore. I would pull my kids out of a league like that so fast it would probably happen during the game...those type of leagues are run by people who are losers and who have never won anything---of course winning isn't important to them...they probably played on losing teams their entire lives...

John from Riverside Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I also think the players are taking this a little too well...... For christ sake my 16 year old balls his eyes out after some games and when the season is over........winning is everything to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I haven't seen one player on this Bills team that acts like they give a !@#$ about losing. That pisses me off. What happened to your guarantee Whitner? Where is the pride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stussy109 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The players have a coach who believes it is acceptable to lose. Not once has he ever said this is a game we should have won, I am really upset in the way we played. Not once. The guy has no nuts I swear. Jauron would make for a very good poker player, his face and demeanor never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
