:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:ooooohhhh....those darn sportwriters...always against our team! if only they were FOR our team then we would win the superbowl!!!!!

I'm not calling it incompetent, but WOW were they slow on the draw when it was clear the ship was sinking. You don't remember the "what has he done wrong?" interview? I was questioning his sanity at that point. It was posted elsewhere and I totally agree...Pegulas should have been ready with their own advisors the next day after they took over. That they didn't suggests they have a lot to learn and, like with the sabres, there is a very good chance this gets worse before it gets better.

with the defensive talent we have that will be a very easy vacancy to fill. if schwartz has an ounce of brains he stays here and dominates for one more year and then parlays it into hios next head job.

This is a big problem. It seems a little harsh to question if the Pegulas are "competent." but I would have thought to do this....especially in the aftermath of the Darcy/Lindy debacle. That they didn't makes me think things could get worse before they get better. Now what? We have WHALEY picking our next coach? I hope he's better at picking coaches than he is picking 1st & 2nd rounders. What was the point of bringing Polian in if you're going to leave Whaley in charge? Not that they really have time to worry about it...

I opened this thread to make that exact point. Thanks for sparing me the trouble. Bills fans: the 21st century is your friend.

stop :lol:

his monolog about all the wonderful cutting edge things he is doing with analytics on monday ranks right up there. hopefully somone can unearth that ands post it. If you follow the great Lori on twitter....she tweeted a "secret file" linked from the Bills' analytics dept the other day....it was a blank excel file

he figured out a way he could grab more money in 1 year than he'll probably make the rest of his career and he grabbed it. what's so hard about that.

you know

for someone who can't tolerate media people, you sure do seem consumed by what they say. You hope Marrone kicks our ass? That is pathetic Talk about "only in Buffalo" ...only in Buffalo do people treat 9-7 like it's some big deal. I can understand why national people do because they think we suck and don't deserve better, but I do. Best team in 10 years? ....bfd. All those teams blew.

oh my god... if there is one coach in the league whose poise in dealing with the media is the opposite of belichek's... or the koolaid drinkers who whine about them

hahaha

let's say you're right. does any of that make him irreplaceable?

no way...he was only manning the phones on draft day because Whaley didn't have 3 hands.

It takes a real koolaid drinker not to be able to connect the dots on Brandon. I will never understand the reluctance of some fans to see what is right in front of their noses.

You know, I seem to remember that when this team didn't suck balls year after year, it pretty much marketed itself.

Sal's good, Schopp's good, Bulldog's good...Howard Simon used to NOT be good... until he had a pulse and an opinion. Now I can listen to any of them, and it's all good. Just have something to say and a reason why you think so. If you ask any more than that you're just looking for someone to validate your own opinions. I go to games and drink beers and have these same conversations and everyone is having fun bickering and letting each other think what they think. But not here...not when it comes to media guys! Everyone is accused of gross incompetence, and having secret agendas....just for making the same points that get made in parking lots among friends as they drink and laugh and sing the shout song together. But yeah, the media guys need to be thrown over Niagara Falls. For the love of god is it all really that serious?

they are? who has said that? overreact much?? They are a bunch of radio guys who cover our teams and (on a good day) have some opinions on stuff. They don't have to be "right" on every single topic to be good at their jobs. Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they didn't. But thread after thread after whiny, bitchy, catty thread about them, for the life of me....i CANNOT figure out what the BFD is about what is opined by these radio guys! 8 pages of this only happens when people either (a) take it all way too seriously, or (b) need to get a life. It is just mind-boggling how wadded up some of you guys get and how far some of will you go to make them seem incompetent. I wish i could pore through these boards and appoint a WGR "genius-for-a-day" from the stadium wall. This lucky sage could straighten everyone out, refute all the inadequacies and avenge all the indignities heaped upon the Bills/Sabres organizations and their fans by these evil men at this radio station. Now that would be some entertainment.

Really? lol...all i can say is if you had to come up with defensible opinions every day as part of your job, you'd probably come up with a few clunkers too! that said, if this kid extracts his head from his ass he might be worth all that to a team like ours.

first, geez it's just an opinion. second, i don't watch enough college football to know if i'd do this...my gut, like yours, says it's nuts. but, it underscores what a desperate situation we're in: we really and truly are going nowhere without a significant upgrade at QB.

All the best to him. None of this crap was his fault. It was Whaley and Brandon that got us into the mess that required the Bills to lure him out of retirement. I think the guy showed a lot of character to do as well as he did. He never should have had to be out there.

This I know: Bill is a good guy. Hope see him back soon.

Wow, 5 pages in 12 hours. And all because the guy didn't jizz all over himself over beating a Pats team in full-on pre-season mode. Here's to you Schopp...long may you reign!

what part of this isn't true?
