Buffalo Bills players voiced their displeasure this week about comments Miami Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell made after the Dolphins destroyed the Bills, 35-8, in November. Bell told the Palm Beach Post the Bills "laid down" when they got behind early.
The Bills were also quick to point out that the Dolphins were participating in "extracurricular activity" after the whistle on multiple occassions.
Dolphins veteran linebacker Jason Taylor is fine with Buffalo using Bell's words as motivation, but it's not a tactic he said he employs.
"I’m not real big on the bulletin board stuff," Taylor told the media Thursday. "People could say bad things about us if we didn’t play very good. Then you can say bad things about us. I’m not going to post it on my locker. I’m not going to post it on the bulletin board and say hey let’s go win because they said this.
"If that’s the motivation for them then great. Ours is different. We played pretty well the first game. We won by a good margin. Whatever was said before, during or after the game, oh well. To me it has no bearing on what we’re going to do Sunday and what they’re going to do Sunday."
The Dolphins have had plenty said about them this season, as they started the year 0-7 and saw their coach get fired Monday as the team lost its ninth game in 13 tries. Buffalo, however, got off to a 5-2 start but has lost six in a row.
Buffalo hosts Miami Sunday at 1 p.m.
"If they want to get hyped up and run the locker room because somebody said something derogatory about them then that’s fine," Taylor said. "I’m cool with that. But if I hung up everything bad that somebody said about us, boy, there would be no more wall space in this locker room.”
