Tipster19 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm paraphrasing the late Vince Lombardi but I find great meaning in reference to our once proud franchise. Attitude is everything and while you are not in control of what happens to you, you are in control in how you respond. Your attitude is the only thing you get to control 100% of the time. What a person thinks about leads to actions and those actions lead to habits. In turn a person's habits developes their character and character will develope their future but it all starts with a person's attitude and mind. I do believe that we finally have the right leaders to change the mentality and attitude of our franchise. What I want more than anything in our draft selections this year is prospects that have the proper attitude/mindset to succeed, it will change our future.

KD in CA Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Losing is a disease… …as contagious as polio. Losing is a disease… …as contagious as syphilis. Losing is a disease… …as contagious as bubonic plague… … attacking one… … but infecting all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 You take away the SB years and the Championship years in the 60's this had been far from a proud franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That is all well said Tipster, but still the question remains - who should the bills pick? Which guys have that mentality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 You take away the SB years and the Championship years in the 60's this had been far from a proud franchise. If you take away all the losing years and just kept the SB years and the Championship years in the 60's this would be one of the great franchises. It's all on how you want to slice it.

Btw, I don't think that your Aunt would appreciate your analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that this is far from a proud franchise. I've followed them for a lot more losing seasons than winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 And no player in this draft has won as much as Cam Newton the last 2 years. Just pointing out that this is far from a proud franchise. I've followed them for a lot more losing seasons than winning. Luckily for me, I grew up during the SB years of the 90s. Half my life was watching the Bills compete for SBs and the other half was Spey with suckiness. Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Von Miller. I'd agree with you. Let's hope he has the talent to go along with the right attitude if the Bills pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
