Heitz Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 They always seems to do a good, objective job with both shows. If we lose, they examine why rather than calling for everyone to be fired or cut. Not quite like the sky is falling mentality that seems to rule the messageboards (regardless of outcome). Just curious if I'm the only one out there that likes / appreciates their coverage...
Johnny Coli Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 I live in Beantown, so I usually listen to the pre-game every Sunday using the WunderRadio app on my iPhone. You are not alone.
lets_go_bills Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Listen to it on the way there and back.

Just curious if I'm the only one out there that likes / appreciates their coverage... You might be, because I couldn't disagree more. Their coverage is not objective at all...they refuse to be critical. I don't think WGR has a sky is falling mentality, they just tell it like it is. 97 rock criticizing the Bills is like FOX news criticizing the GOP. Let's be honest, somebody deserves to be fired at OBD. The track record is awful. WGR examines why we lose- namely the players aren't good enough and the people picking them are not good at their jobs. It never gets better. 97 R always talks about schemes and technique, never that the players just aren't very good. That is not objective and they clearly don't want to tick off the team and lose the contract to carry the games to another station. WGR compliments them when they win, but are realistic about what it means. It just doesn't happen very often these days. I prefer reality over it being "Okay" to lose and "nice try Poz".

Heitz Posted December 27, 2010 Author Posted December 27, 2010 As a Bills fan up in Vermont I appreciate their coverage - definitely a bit of home. As for the coverage, I've heard them call out coaches, players and even the front office. What I like about the coverage is that when Fitz throws a stinker like today, they'll call it out, but not act as if it's the end of the Bills as we know them. Might be just me, but I like a little good with the bad, even when the plane is a about to crash into the mountain...
cåblelady Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I listen to the post-game show on the way home from the games.
