ndirish1978 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I think we're all missing the real issue here. Why is there a womens bathroom in the facility at all? Everyone knows their menstruation attracts bears.
Best Player Available Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Some new head coaches could use something like this for player motivation on a banner. Tom Brady 15 Wins vs. Buffalo Bills 1 win. Depending on the team's mental toughness it may work better than some AFC banners from 20 years ago that less than half the team care about. Or even know exist.
ganesh Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 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. They had a Franchise QB then and they will need one to become good again!
ThurmasThoman Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 This analogy is pretty flawed. Its kinda of like you are an author of a post. Then you write something that doesn't make any sense. Then everyone has to waste brain cells looking at it. stunning comeback. sorry your brain cells are at such a premium that you need to mitigate their losses by justifying their usage. no wonder this slogan, and all it implies, appeals to you. furthermore, no wonder the stadium is such a sh*t show on sunday these days. 80,000 people at or around your general level of intelligence? damn, this post was too vicious. sorry to go in on you like this, but it's going to be a long year, and here i am arguing with half-wits in april.

You may want to look up the definition of a comeback. Also, you may want to brush up on capitalization and sentence structure if you're going to throw around insults. Other than that, continue on with your extremely accurate and coherent analogies. Edited April 3, 2013 by Why So Serious?
Campy Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I like that the Bills have done this. Marrone is the first Coach/GM at One Bills Drive in a long, long time that actually has discussed the goal of Winning a Super Bowl. Mularkey wasn't that long ago...
Campy Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 "Don't confuse effort with results". I find this a strange slogan to have in the Practice facility. What does it mean? Does it mean don't practice with too much effort today boys because the only thing that matters is the result on Sunday. If you practice hard with effort every day then your talent should bring its own rewards on Sunday assuming the Coaches can chip in with some decent play calling, team selection and communication. The club expects that the players will practice hard, that they'll hit the weight room and really get after it, that they'll do their workout routines while home in the offseason, that they'll follow their nutrition plans to the letter, and that they'll sweat, ache, hurt, and sometimes even bleed during their preparation. But if they lose on Sunday, they really haven't done anything. To summarize, it's reminder that they are in a results-oriented business and success is not measured by how hard they try, but by the score when the final gun sounds.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Dear coach Duggy, great signs.....don't confuse props and banners with coaching.... But good luck anyway Edited April 3, 2013 by over 20 years of fanhood
CowgirlsFan Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 oops...thought the Bills were leaving The Healthy Zone.
#34fan Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I'm gonna give Marrone 100 points for this one. With a simple move like this he acknowledges the need for a major CULTURE CHANGE in B-lo.. Nice one, Dougie. -What else ya got?

Wayne Cubed 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. Technically, I was referring to the AFL Championship banners and his comment about how banner's are very "collegiate."
BillnutinHouston Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 [/sarcasm] Yeah that would be real dumb if the team looked at Championship banners while the team was practicing in order to win a championship. [/sarcasm] http://www.galesburg...o-Lambeau-Field Haven't seen a good comeback to this yet. Come on people, stop being so negative. Change is good, especially at OBD.

To me, it's like watching Baldwin's speech in Glengarry Glenn Ross. Did you try hard? Did you give it your all? No one cares. Everyone looks out and sees success or they see failure, and the fans don't care about what was in between.
8-8 Forever? Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I don't like having the Lombardi there. The banners are nice though. closest this franchise will ever get to it
Mr. WEO Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Haven't seen a good comeback to this yet. Come on people, stop being so negative. Change is good, especially at OBD. Hanging banners isn't change. And hoisting an inflatable Lombardi may have an impact on college players, but I would be careful if I was Marrone. I don't see these guys (many on opening day will be new to Buffalo and have been on other teams previously) in this league really getting hyped over the Bills past small era of success. It's more of a college ploy, I think. Marrone should seek to avoid coming off as a college HC. He's an unknown to these guys with not much of a pro record of success (being Payton's Curtis Modkins doesn't count for much) in th NFL. I'm guessing a lot of the players, particularly on offense, have some healthy skepticism about Marrone and Hackett, so he should cool it on the rah, rah college banner hanging shtick. I just don't see pros being moved by the 4 banners in the practice dome. Edited April 3, 2013 by Mr. WEO

Rip those microphones out of those helmets and use hand signals! What do we need instant replay for? Why are there jumbo trons in the stadium just bring a radio? Follow the rest of the planet into the digital age and use a digital reader instead of paper play book???!! Pure sisery! Get off my lawn!!!
