No the Bengals should get all the credit in the world for winning the game but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong about the Bills either. Plus like I said it goes back to the way they played in the prior two games as well.
Yeah, I get that.
But we all know divisional games are always different then other games. The previous 2 games were against NE who played Buffalo tough and Miami who was 1-1 against them.
As far as enery goes, it feels like a convenient excuse for me.
So, I feel they weren't as good as many thought.
Also, in regards to the injury. For 3 weeks we have been hearing they were gonna win for Hamlin. That would motivate and pump them up to move forward
Now, suddenly, the injury is why they lost?
Imo, you don't get to use something as a motivational factor, then use the same thing to then claim it caused you mental fatigue
The Bills ran into a Patriots team desperate for the Playoffs.
Then they ran into a Miami team that both previous games were decided by 1 total point. The defense came to play and shut down the running lanes.
We also know Buffalo benefitted greatly with officiating.
There was no emotional let down or fatigue.
Also Hamlin was at the Bengals game.
So I'm not buying that excuse
They then just lost to a superior team.
Sometimes the easiest answer is the right answer.
