I know the Hamlin incident is very hard to recover from, so I will give them that. They haven't been the same since he went down. PTSD is very real. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt no matter how hard it was to watch that game yesterday.

I have Bill-ieved for years, as many of us have, and will continue to do so, but that's a real crappy way to end the season.

I guess the biggest thing I can't understand, is how they came out so flat, uninspired and lost in a home, divisional round, playoff game with Hamlin in attendance, I mean if you have to go out, go out fighting.

Maybe next year, again.

PTSD will be a problem until McD is no longer here, imho.

Roger Saffold says they were just tired.

What are you getting paid for again?

Milano said there was no energy, no juice no momentum.

Well, it's over. It is what it is.

Saffold is one of the worst lineman ive seen the bills have in a while. Bobby Hart played better than him in the recent past

Re: That sucked

You can tell from the start that we didn't come to play. Cincinnati came to play. Our lines were thoroughly handled. Frazier's defense is so played out. Losing Daboll turned out to have a major impact on the offense. Things need to change and it starts with the coordinators.

I said before the game, at some point emotions become distractions and the Bills with all that happened to them and around them allowed that to happen. It’s McDermott’s job to keep the guys focused and on point.

This is another reason I don’t like the whole “brotherhood” culture nonsense. You shouldn’t need to manipulate emotional responses to motivate. It lessens your ability to control emotions when needed.

Re: That sucked

It was just disheartening to watch most of the team just go through the motions. Davis looked uninterested, the Entire Defense looked uninspired, Poyer missed about 10 tackles, Tre was absolutely useless.

Guys you expect to step up in the biggest games of the year, didn't. They faded. They folded. They looked like guys who didn't really care. There was next to zero emotion. I don't know what happened pregame, or leading up to the game, but something did. You don't just all of the sudden show up looking like that. Yes they've had bad starts to games before, but they've never just given up like that.

So first off... 100% agree with this.
But honest question, did the performance really surprise anyone after every single game they've played since the bye week?

Yes. Sunday wasn't about mistakes, it was about lack of trying. Lack of effort. Lack of emotion. Lack of energy.

You are at home, what you work for all season, in front of an electric crowd, and you come out looking like you'd rather be anywhere else. They haven't looked like that all season.

We were supposed to play Jacksonville.

KC was supposed to play Baltimore.
