The fact that they thought they could "hydrate" starting Monday is ridiculous.

Don’t the Bills put the visitors in the shady side of the field and during the late season on cold sunny days there a 10-15 degree difference from the sunny side to the shady side? It’s called home field advantage. Injuries are one thing, one or two players having dehydration issues is one thing, but almost the entire team? That’s on the training staff and players.

Trying to get enough fluids the day of the game is impossible.

Not really. A number of players did and played 100% of the snaps.

Not when you use a needle.

I would bet those guys didn’t wait until Monday.

What Happens When You Drink Too Much Water?

When you drink too much water, you may experience water poisoning, intoxication, or a disruption of brain function. This happens when there's too much water in the cells (including brain cells), causing them to swell. When the cells in the brain swell they cause pressure in the brain. You may start experiencing things like confusion, drowsiness, and headaches. If this pressure increases it could cause conditions like hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and bradycardia (Low Heart Rate).

Sodium is the electrolyte most affected by overhydration, leading to a condition called hyponatremia. Sodium is a crucial element that helps keep the balance of fluids in and out of cells. When its levels drop due to a high amount of water in the body, fluids get inside the cells. Then the cells swell, putting you at risk of having seizures, going into a coma, or even dying.

Not sure we're arguing the same thing, but game days in football have salt tablets, gatorade, IV's, ice water, and we've done this before.

My thought is that most vets had this down, and the newer players didn't, which is on the training staff. Allen, Edmunds,Milano, Dawkins, Saffold, etc, took 100% of the snaps, the big guys left on the DL maintained, and Spencer Brown dropped like a stone. even Diggs was on a cart with 2 IV's and total body cramping, but McKenzie was still running around.

It just looks to me like the training staff wasn't so prepared. I'll still write the loss off for injuries, but the training staff is not blameless.

We are arguing the same thing. This is on the training staff and even to some extent the younger players. This wasn’t there first hot weather game they played.
