Nitro Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 NFL network total has posted on screen for NFL ACCESS coming up "Bills QB Ryan Nassib 1 on 1". Won't let it go or is it a Freudian slip? Makes one think it is a case of wishful thinking. Color me amused.
FluffHead Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 It must be a sign. But what does it mean? BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!
maddenboy Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) sigh. now I have to wonder if its EJ or Nassib. No telling which way they lazily dealt with the Bills. Considering that half of each show is devoted to the Cowboys and the Jets, I have to assume its Nassib, in America's biggest market. Sigh. Edited May 11, 2013 by maddenboy
The DarkeKnight Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 What does it matter. We have the QB that everyone in the organization wanted. All those other distractions just show how disconnected the national media really is from what changes are takeing place in Western NY.
Bronc24 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Really? Because the graphics guy at NFLN is an idiot, we are lamenting not having a QB that went in the 4th Round? Amazing. Move along....nothing to see here.

Move along....nothing to see here. I'm only intervening because I think you misinterpreted whose "wishful thinking" it was--in this case, the NFLN's because Nassib would have fulfilled the Bills narrative they saw fit.

PearlHowardman Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 It must be a sign. But what does it mean? BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?! Clearly it means that Ryan Nassib was a better fit for the Buffalo Bills than EJ Manuel will ever be. There will be more signs of this.
Trader Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I was having dinner in a sports bar when this was up on the screen so I could not hear the commentary. I was thinking, "did Nassib get cut already and claimed by Buffalo?"... LOL

Makes one think it is a case of wishful thinking. Color me amused. I understand why the Bills dont get much national press. We've sucked for 13 years, and every time the Bills start to look good, they suck again. But with that said, the NFL network did a piece on rookie qbs and they skipped over EJ right to Geno, then to Barkley, then changed directions and started talking about Andrew Luck. Not for nothing, but you'd think they would include the first qb picked in the draft in the segment. The media hates the Bills. They make fun of the Bills constantly on the NFL network. Only way to shake that is for the Bills to go out and earn some respect.

The talking heads and the rest of the media thought, and probably still think, EJ was a middle of the pack QB in this years draft so they didn't include him. Nix thinks differently. In a couple years we will see who was right. Edited May 13, 2013 by CodeMonkey
tennesseeboy Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 In my opinion low expectations for the rookie qb is not a bad thing. He can do what he can, learn and improve without the national media breathing down his neck. If he shows up as a star from the get go, the press will be at his door soon enough. If he makes a normal progression, the less press scrutiny the better. Let the guy learn the pro game. I'm pulling for him.
reddogblitz Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I catch the NFL Network in out and out errors frequently. I saw a "State of the Franchise" episode on the Bills a few years ago and Woodson and Sapp made 3 out and out misstatements about the Bills in less than five minutes. The one I remember is that the Bills traded up for Trent Edwards. Of course we didn't, but we did for JP. If you just pulling facts out of your A$$, it's close enough for jazz I guess. Do these guys do any research? Makes we wonder how much they're screwing up on all of their "expertise" and "inside information" on the other 31 teams.
