It shouldn't be, really.
There wasn't ever a real threat in losing that game, which of course would have brought the coin flip into play--but would have been negated after the Chargers lost later in the evening--so, even though it was tough to watch, Zac seemed to decide to stay vanilla and just play the game out.
Players want to succeed in every situation, regardless, so i can see them being upset at not performing better, as vanilla as they were.
They stumbled in the 2nd half of the Pats game and came out firing for Buffalo. I think the setting and magnitude of the game this Sunday night will be more than enough for them to be up and focused, playing at their best.
