I get that everyone in here sort of already understands this but I feel like it’s an opportunity to say it again. (Most of) The national media: knows less about the Bills then (most of) the serious fans and certainly the team beat reporters.
I never understood why there is always such outrage over the way this team gets talked about nationally. The truth is, those guys have to cover every team. And in some cases, every sport. There’s just no way of them having in-depth knowledge of each particular team. It’s very clear when John Clayton is on WGR. If you really listen to what he says and if you aren’t just giving him the benefit of the doubt because of his name…he knows absolutely nothing about the Bills. Sometimes he is so far off, it’s kind of sad. You can hear that Schopp and the Bulldog notice it and they are far from “experts”
Fans who post every day on a message board are in the very serious minority of hardcore, knowledgeable fans. We all can get at eachother from time to time but let’s be real. For the most part, we are all extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the Bills and most know more about the Bills then the national media. As we should. This team is part of our family. We aren’t responsible for writing about 31 other teams. That’s why I don’t even understand why any of us care what these guys say about the Bills? Its not like they are going to tell us things that we don’t already know.
