I have no reason to doubt him and believe it to be true.  Lack of emotional energy would absolutely contribute to the total no-show yesterday. But I also think its too easy to chalk it up to that- there is a desperate need for offensive talent surrounding Allen & Diggs, not to mention the complete dismantling of both lines. I won't even get into the schematic issues as I beat that one to death during the game.

Bottom line, it feels like the Bills are going in the wrong direction IF your goal is to win the Super Bowl.  I know that its a great problem to have, especially off of three straight AFC east titles. But with a generational QB we have to set the sights higher and I believe McDermott, Beane etc will do that. But it starts with an honest assessment of performance- both players and coaches. It was a great year at 13-3, but all of us saw the signs before yesterday that we had  problems in virtually every area that fell flat against Cincy.  Was emotional energy an issue? Probably. But yesterday wasn't the first time we've seen abysmal red zone play calling or a problem defending the run, as an example.

I'll say it again, going to be a long offseason...
