Bobby Hooks

You would think we’d at least throw a late conditional like we received from Newhouse at him. Unless teams think they’ll be able to pick him up cheaper than his current deal.

Yup. He can play and go up and get contested catches. Allen needs that.

Just saw that Allen’s two rushing tds in a game is the most since Edwards. I find that interesting in a few ways. The biggest way is that Edwards rushed for more tds in a single game than our ex-super-athletic-all-star qb Tuh-rod. So glad no one will have to suffer watching that guy as a starter again.

It’s the 5k Sully gave him to cram his interview down our throats. Bad bet bet by the way. Even if you somehow win, 17 points. That’s a suckers bet all day. Not to mention youll be actively cheering against you own team. Not cool.

I mean, I had an idea it wasn’t going to be good. But am I upset, kinda, considering it wasnt fun to watch. I watch for entertainment and it wasnt entertaining. I’m also pretty upset they said they were going to bring our qb around the right way. Throwing him him out there with that line is damn near negligence.

Honestly, nothing against you but this has all been explained ad nauseum and I really don’t feel like making the same points I made over ten pages or whatever it is now. I genuinely couldn’t care any less about Sullivan, I took a look in the thread, noticed a guy singing his praises and decided to tell him why I thought he was wrong. Responded to quotes/reactions (like now) after that. Like Sully, it had a time and place. It’s passed. Its also a bit ironic that you call me out for basically doing what you are praising Sully for. Offering a different, non-rainbow take on a topic. Can’t take an opinion that differs from yours? Much like Sully, you’re taking a bit of a hypocritical stance here. Of course I’d expect that. Which is again why I won’t give the interview the time of day. I know exactly what to expect from tired ol’ Jer. On the other hand, debating a fellow Bills fan, why not?

Childish reasons? Do you click links about the Kardashians or the cast of Jersey Shore to hear their take? Id bet, no. Why? Because you don’t care! Jerry had his time and now it’s over. Most of us are happy and have moved on. Obviously he, and you, haven’t. That’s really a Sully and Rush problem. Not ours. Give ol’ Jer a message for us. “We don’t care. Bye.”

I actually don’t even mind smug. It’s one of my favorite traits in a villain. A good villain should also be well nuanced and have a redeemable quality. . Two things Sully didn’t have/or didn’t care to bother with in his last years. Much like an onion, there should be many layers. Sully had one. And no one likes one layer.

Controlling the media? Like it’s life changing politics or something? No. It’s entertainment. The Pegulas own a product. Obviously they don’t want people bashing it. Thats not why the Buffalo news is where it is. At least the sports section. It became lame, lazy schtick. Anything but entertaining. Which if you truly think about it is ridiculous. People are obviously reading because they mostly like sports and their team. A daily opinion column telling you why it’s garbage even when the team is winning? Honestly, I think the Bills getting to the playoffs was the worst thing for Sully it showed even when they do well he bashes and criticizes. It was obvious to anyone paying attention it’s all he really knew how to do at that point.

You keep saying this like him admitting that he took the extremist view EVERY TIME is acceptable. Sure columnists do it, on tmz, and yahoo articles. It was the easy way, the lazy way, it was the low hanging fruit that riled up the knuckle clickers. I’d like to hear him admit that we deserved better. You say it like its acceptable because he did he did it so long. I think it’s nearly unforgivable because he did it so long. Just because you get away with something doesn’t make it ok, or prove that you do it well, it could just mean someone else is poor at doing their job as well.

We just restructured him and he again held out instead of talking to the guys that JUST restructured him. Look, I get it, he’s amazing, but you can’t be a bad team and be held hostage by your LT every offseason. You have other needs and other worries at that point. He wanted out, we couldn’t take the headache. Got a first round pick from an undrafted TE. Not terrible.

Alright fine, I’m an open minded guy. If you tell me that in that interview he admits he kind of called it in the last few years (because that’s exactly what going the extremist route EVERY TIME is) and promises given another chance he would do better, I’ll listen. Otherwise, no. If he doesn’t realize he became the equivalent of the Sun on the BN (I mean how many times do you want to hear about a batboy sighting?) then I don’t need to hear it. I dont always love the opinions of other humans but If your sole purpose in life is riling up the lowest common denominator I really have no interest in you or what you have to say (JS).

No. He never found a positive. Never. That’s tired schtick, not criticism.

It’s kind of funny that someone known so well for undervaluing the team he was covering is trying oh so hard to overvalue himself. Im sorry, but the guys act was old and tired. He wasn’t a reporter that looks at a story objectively and says how can I get this to the people. He looked at a story and said how many people can I piss off with this story. It became as boring as losing for 17 years. Its not creative. It’s a tired Schtick. So much so, I don’t have to listen to it to know exactly what he’ll say. Jog on, Jer.

Can’t he take his talents to South Beach?

I don’t get why he can’t just go away. It’s like the wife/husband that won’t just jog on after the divorce. Jer, we had our time. We’re just not into anymore. Move on, bud.

Man, I’m so glad I don’t have to watch with any of you guys. You’d kill my buzz. Bunch of downers. As for the topic of the thread, hand off to Shady, a little slide and tickle and he gains six to the right.

I’m super excited. I always get excited in the beginning of the year regardless of what the “experts” say. They were dead wrong last year, hope that trend continues.

I don’t have to try to like the Bills play football. Maybe if you do, you’re spending your time in the wrong hobby?

“Total waste of time”?

How about we just watch the games and try to enjoy ourselves. Let the rest work itself out. Its entertainment, it’s supposed to be fun. When did people stop having fun and start stressing and overthinking it? It’s exhausting.

Don’t waste your time. I’ve been trying to say it all week. He’s a twenty something year old kid trying his best for our team, clearly wins the qb battle, and his own fanbase calls his names and bashes him. Grown adults. Its really gross.

Not exactly going out on a huge limb. Weird but that almost sounds like you’re actively rooting against a player on your team from succeeding. This fanbase.

Yes, and, oh yeah, the most important part, not having his head slapped against the ground and becoming shell shocked in one year because the oline can’t protect him because he’s raw and holds the ball too long!!

Easily our best shot at beating the Ravens. After seeing Allen against the Bengals, T-sizzle would have eaten him alive. Thats not a knock on Allen, the kid did better than I was actually expecting in preseason. But he needs time, that was always the plan. But fans be fans.
