pimp 2 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Seeing your goal in front of you crystallizes it. So glad to see they're moving forward, technology-wise, with iPads rather than playbooks. You had to figure that sort of change would come with a younger staff. +1
Mr. WEO Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 So they must have taken down Chan's "It's hard to win in the NFL", "This is a tough game for tough people" and "When we walk on the field we expect to win" banners? Did anyone already call dibs? They had to take down the "you dog one of us, you dog all of us" banner after Chan fired (after week 2) the guy who the fans were dogging (in the beginning of camp).... Yea banners in professional sports are pretty lame... I guess having a lot of them is pretty lame too Those banners are symbols of accomplishment. I'm guessing the Redwings and the Lakers don't practice in front of inflatable Stanley cup or Naismith trophy balloons.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 That is not true. If we start winning you will see a more positve attitude. HA HA HA HA! BALONEY! As soon as we start winning people expect to start losing. Am I wrong? We are at the point where we crave failure. Why else do we look for reasons to hate everything? PTR
tonyjustbcuz Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Gregg-O started training camp with a 5:00AM air horn. We all thought that was good. Mularkey fed them cheeseburgers. We all thought that was good. Dick brought in the Tampa 2. We all thought that was good. Chan took out the wide screen TVs from the training rooms. We all thought that was good. Winning is the only thing that really is good. I won't be impressed with anything this team does until they start winning and continue to win, and become once more the best team in the League. They were that once. High time they are that again. You got that exactly right! I hope for, but don't anticipate Buddy drafting the right players once again! It should be his last huraah though with Whaley filling his shoes soon...I'm almost numb and resigned to the fact that until this organization cleans house in the management department, including Ralph not being in the equation and having new ownership that we will always have the same history consisting of different names and just repeating itself over and over! Bad teams, and ownership tend to stay bad or burst into the scene like Detroit started to and then fall right back to the also rans of the NFL ie: Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Arizona (1 or 2 year exception), Oakland, etc....I would bet we will win between 4-7 games this year and that's being an optimist.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 that Lombardi looks beautiful...... Am I the only one who sees the irony with the Lombardi Trophy between the uprights? If only Scott kicked it straight, that would have resulted in the Lombardi Trophy way back when... It's between the uprights? It looked to me like it was just right of the right upright. I guess I'm permanently damaged. What happens when a player leaves theirs at Applebees or Dave & Busters? Not sure if you were kidding or not but if not, there's been quite a few articles about this. To access the iPad the player has to sign in using a password. To use the iPad to access the Bills' servers, there is another username/password hoop. And when the iPad has been reported lost or stolen, the IT department can simply wipe it clean of contents.
Heitz Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Amazing that people even get upset when the staff tries to motivate the players and set a tone for the year. Since everyone is throwing the analogies out there, I'll go with "Be the ball Danny". Not sure if everyone watched today's wrap video, but Marrone's enthusiasm and passion clearly go beyond just banners. Listen the the players - this is a young, hungry, eager staff. I can't wait to see this year unfold... http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Bills-Roundup-Players-Return-Branch-Signs/27c3dcce-0c48-47d7-8ca1-7f5d5348034f

Watching these young coaches and The Real Pettine defense really should be fun. Oh the visualize the goal thing. yes thats a real developmental tool on many levels in quite a few disciplnes. I want a Lombardi too. Edited April 2, 2013 by 3rdand12

Never thought that the Tampa 2 was a good idea, but yeah until the W's start to come its all just window dressing.
Ball'n Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 It's between the uprights? It looked to me like it was just right of the right upright. I guess I'm permanently damaged.

What if they left a binder playbook at Applebees? iPad is more secure.
Thurmal34 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Those banners are symbols of accomplishment. I'm guessing the Redwings and the Lakers don't practice in front of inflatable Stanley cup or Naismith trophy balloons. The Chicago Bulls say hi.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 What if they left a binder playbook at Applebees? iPad is more secure. Yep. Also the plays in the playbook are linked to numerous videos of that play with different route options. Players can jot notes on the margins. I think the number of teams still using a traditional playbook must be very few at this point.
Mr. WEO Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 HA HA HA HA! BALONEY! As soon as we start winning people expect to start losing. Am I wrong? We are at the point where we crave failure. Why else do we look for reasons to hate everything? PTR Speak for yourself. Your legendary defense of the status quo may require you to crave and to be satisfied with failure, but many of us would enjoy real success. The only thing you "hate" about the Bills is its fans. Aren't you late for something? The Chicago Bulls say hi. Uhh...hello.
Dat Dude Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 "dont confuse effort with results" perfect slogan for this team. its always been, well we lost but we played hard and things will turn around if we keep playing hard. that is no longer. now its just win baby GO BILLS !!!
FluffHead Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Indeed. Who cares about this fluff. I resemble that remark!
Dat Dude Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 We are the Buffalo Bills! We bleed Red,White and Blue.It should motivate them to want to perform better than those before them and to set an example for those to come :beer: :beer:
bowery4 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Again Bills fans = B word about anything. He does nothing its B word and whine. He does something its B word and whine. Jesus folks I have been a Bills fan for over 2 decades myself so I understand but damn, bitching about everything....or nothing? I will call it right now, we could go 19-0 and win the superbowl and at l east 50% of Bills fans would B word about something. I got to your post in this thread and thought the same thing (can't read the rest, have a life to live after all). I would have to figure it would be the weather or the economy though.
turdferguson Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I don't know if the slogans will do any good I'm not so sure that a lot of the players can read after listening to them talk. Like mckelvin I've heard more intelligent interviews from a rock
Dat Dude Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 So they must have taken down Chan's "It's hard to win in the NFL", "This is a tough game for tough people" and "When we walk on the field we expect to win" banners? Did anyone already call dibs? :lol:
The Helmet of Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 this is what i wanted to say.... Gregg-O started training camp with a 5:00AM air horn. We all thought that was good. Mularkey fed them cheeseburgers. We all thought that was good. Dick brought in the Tampa 2. We all thought that was good. Chan took out the wide screen TVs from the training rooms. We all thought that was good. Winning is the only thing that really is good. I won't be impressed with anything this team does until they start winning and continue to win, and become once more the best team in the League. They were that once. High time they are that again.
