The Bills are a very good team.
They have a top defense, good talent on offense and a QB who is a gamer.
On top of that they have good coaches who understand the game, have a clear direction of how they want to attack the game and also have the ability to adapt.
All that being said I had a bad feeling about this game on Monday. Once the Bills and Rex started shooting off their mouths about how much they hate the Patriots and how everyone wants us to beat them and how loud its going to be at the Ralph we were already behind on the scoreboard.
Football is a game that requires so much attention to detail that focusing on those details and burning them into your head so that they are accessible during the game has to take up all your energy. It has to be emotionless and practical.
The Bills and Rex spent the entire week talking about the Patriots. And it starts with Rex.
He went on about crowd noise and how they would have to deal with that, and Blount who he was so sure Belichick would deploy against us rather than Lewis (Lewis killed us) and how the league wants us to win the game. Well none of that helps you win on Sunday. Rex keeps saying he has to be himself and that means being boisterous and in your face. That's fine but he also needs to understand that Belichick has beaten his teams over and over again and there comes a point where you just need to keep your head down and work in the background with your team on what you need to do to win the game and stay quiet during the week.
From there our players followed Rex's lead and you had players like A.Williams and Dareus mouthing off about hating the Patriots which is such a juvenile way of looking at the game. You don't hate them. You are tired of being beat down by them. So be quiet then and go prepare to win and get your mind in the right state.
Dareus did NOTHING in the game and A.Williams got beat down regularly and took stupid penalties that hurt our team. Clearly they were not focused on what the team needed to win just on pure emotion. Pure emotion got us one good drive on offense and one good stop on defense and then we got killed from that point until we calmed down in the 3rd quarter. Too little, too late.
Maybe the Bills will learn something from the Patriots (who actually went away from their character and almost lost while they called foolish plays in the 4th quarter because they wanted to bury us rather than win, which proves that when you go away from your mindset you lose control of the game) and just work hard during the week to focus on themselves and only themselves and then get it done on Sunday.
