I’m now very worried that all of this chaos and real life crap (player potentially dying on field); is messing w these players’ psyche.  

These are mostly 20 year olds. Not exactly grown men mentally well-equipped and experienced w deep life crap that usually shows up at the door step of 40..50…etc

This will have an adverse impact on them “moving forward” and playing at the locked-in optimal level they were pre-Bills game.

All of this plays heavily into the Rat Turds’ favor.

Obviously that's a concern, but it could also fortify us mentally too.

I think the Ravens game is slightly boom/bust. It's a big division rivalry, for a potential home game rematch. If we come through all this, beat them, then beat them again... I mean that lights a fire in my opinion.

There's also the chance players feel we've gotten a little hosed by the NFL and that lights a fire too.

It could go either way in my opinion. Either guy's will be affected negatively, or the adversity will power us on.
