sweatpantsjoe Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 The defense doesn't look any worse than it has the last few seasons. I don't think any of us had thought they were good going into this season. And like somebody previously posted, the special teams won't be set until the 53 man roster is set. That being said, I'd still have to agree with WGR, they're not going to be very good this season.
BillsneedaSuperbowl Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 someone should call in and say that their show sucks. actually i might do that cause wgr really does suck.
mmoses44 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 A hometown team plays a game and you only watch half? Considering they only cover hometown sports and what their favorite foods are, it shouldn't be too hard to watch a game. If I were them I would be researching and talking about the teams in our division and other popular sports topics. I am looking forward to WGR's next "Country draft" myself....
Drew026 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 How Bulldog has a job on that station should give us all hope. He has no idea what he's talking about and his reasoning for whatever he says is also worthless. Schopp and Sully may be dbags, but at least they kind of make sense.

Well I know some of these WGR guys off the air. They are indeed morons and often get their material from other people. THeyre the guys who never even tried out for high school sports.
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 "Just plain stupid these guys are." When did Yoda join the board? JP is that you?
Griswold Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I remember when WGR was a respectable radio station. Very respectable. Before they went talk/sports format, I remember listening to Stan Roberts every morning. He was good. "The Bills suck" who knows at this point. But saying they should tank the season to get a high draft QB is the talk of low paid radio hosts who live in their parents basement.
GR8PRKN Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 First of all the special teams are not set yet, they are formed by the final 53. Second, the defense has top secret plans Exactly, I not sure I have seen it but are we not going to run some 4-3 sets as well?
JohnC Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I remember when WGR was a respectable radio station. Very respectable. Before they went talk/sports format, I remember listening to Stan Roberts every morning. He was good. Unless Stan Roberts had a son who was on the radio you are going back almost half a century. Nostalgia brings back the good memories and let's the bad memories fade into oblivion.
sabres...yawn Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I have just been handed a transcript from WGR host, "The Bulldog" . "Uh, I,I,I,I,I mean...really? No, that's right... I respect that... I agree... ahhggh.. ugggh...i want to stick a fork in my eye... aaah, I,ugfhposkleifjals..... yeah,farfinuken... I respect that,... my favorite cheese is cheddar... that's right, Mike". Just get XM/Sirius. Well I know some of these WGR guys off the air. They are indeed morons and often get their material from other people. THeyre the guys who never even tried out for high school sports. Latest WGR ripoffs: Jeremy White's "Buddy Nix Game"- an exact ripoff of ESPN's Jason Smith's ALL NIGHT Show which directly precedes them. I briefly tuned in the other day and heard Schopp playing "The Match Game" a DIRECT ripoff of ESPN's Bob Valvano. Is there a worse station in the country? Maybe. Maybe not.
Chandler#81 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Special teams suck, eh? Ryan Lindell. Who would they want to swap him with? Brian Moorman? Is there a better punter in the league? Parrish, McKelvin, Spiller, Fast Freddie? Name another team that comes close to 'house-takin' every damn kick! Runners & gunners don't get picked 'til the fiunal 53 and will -as usual- contain starters as well. We've seen what Dehaven can do and expectations a very high. I don't live there but I'd suggest a boycott of the channel. There's plenty of over the air sports shows to dial into fdor a few weeks. Shouldn't take more than a month before advertisers will demand their dismissal.
Poznasty51 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I am looking forward to WGR's next "Country draft" myself.... They were even wrong about the cheese draft. CHEDDAR MAKES IT BETTER!!!!!
MaineMoxie Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Jerry Sullivan makes a living off pessimism. Yep. When I was in high school (late '80s, early '90s) the school (Canisius) got Sully to come help judge some basketball contest (might have been a slam dunk contest or something - can't remember). It was just a fun sort of thing and the judges were all giving 8s, 9s, and 10s - except Sully who was giving 3s and 4s. He got booed.

What is the Buddy Nix game? I can't believe anybody would rip off Jason Smith. He is so horrible.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Saw something that Jeremy guy posted on Twitter. He is a joke. Says nothing I can't get from my drunk friend at a bar. Buffalo's media is a joke. Do any of them do any actual reporting other than Allen Wilson? WGR...THE VOICE OF THE DRUNK FAN! PTR

iinii Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 First of all the special teams are not set yet, they are formed by the final 53. Second, the defense has top secret plans Third, it is going to be hard to pick first when we hold up the Lombardi trophy.
buffalonian Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I stopped listening when Hose said he only listened to half of the first preseason game. ITS YOUR JOB U IDIOT!!! Those guys are coasting. A hometown team plays a game and you only watch half? Considering they only cover hometown sports and what their favorite foods are, it shouldn't be too hard to watch a game. If I were them I would be researching and talking about the teams in our division and other popular sports topics. I like listening to wgr, but I agree, it's their job to watch the entire game. Sad to think that they have something better to do; I wouldn't treat my job that way.
TheChimp Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 He is entitled to his opinion and I agree that D and ST look to be the biggest issues for the Bills based on what we've seen so far in the preseason. But that could all change once the season starts. As far as losing to get the #1 pick to get a QB, its too early to think about that. Trent might actually turn into a decent QB. Based on the last couple performances, I've developed a small bit of optimism towards Trent. If he does well this year, then our early picks can be used for other positions OL,DL,LB, WR, etc. My point is that we should not get all up in arms over what WGR says. Nobody really knows what is going to happen. The Bills might actually be fun to watch this year. Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say.
