King is only good for his sources. I don't give a darn about his uneducated opinions

He doesnt live in boston anymore...moved back to NJ.

 

He ranks teams based on a neutral field who he feels would win. Because the Jets beat the Bills in NY/NJ doesnt matter much since it was a close game.

 

He moved back to NYC not NJ. Fairly even keeled writer.

 

King loves him some Kiko... didn't know he was a Bills fan, thought he was a Pats & Giants fan (from NJ, currently lives in Boston). He stays objective though, IMO. Actually, although the Jets beat the Bills, King is looking at it from a wider lens. The Jets have been involved in some BAD games where they looked horrendous. The Bills have not.

I don't think you need to love the Bills to love Kiko. Kiko is getting noticed around and is now doing the national circuit.

Kind of nice to see a 'National' guy giving the Bills a little respect.

 

King may also see the potential on this team, and want to be one of the first to say he saw it. IF the Bills can finish 8-8 or better, watch for a lot of love in the offseason. The Bills will be the 'darkhorse' or 'team on the rise' for next season.

 

Lets just hope Marrone keeps his guys focused and ready to play against N.O. If not this game will get ugly, and the Bills will have a blow out on their resume.

So King didn't want KSK posting pics of his daughter? What father would?

 

I think his overall body of work is pretty solid. He's both interesting and reasonably informed.

 

Maybe it's a matter of expectation. I don't expect national media types to be experts in all 32 teams. They'll typically study the winning teams the most and develop a cursory familiarity with the rest of the NFL. King is no worse than his media brethren in that regard.

 

But he's better connected than most sportswriters. When a story starts to break, he'll often get on the phone and talk to someone with firsthand knowledge of the situation. I don't agree with all his opinions but I think he's good at what he does.

One thing people overlook is that all the Bills' games have been close. Yea, we are 3-4, but we were in them all right to the end. We've been bad for so long, it's tough for most of the national media to move us higher. We haven't been the usual easy win for teams. I like that PK recognizes us as being better. Hopefully others follow soon. It'll take time… And deservedly so.

Yes, and when the Bills have started off strong in the past with 5-0 type starts and then fizzled out completely, the media has been burned by buying in. There is no reason to believe things are different until the Bills play a whole season with some kind of consistently good play. They have not done that in over a decade. They either start off well or finish of well but not both. If they can do that this year despite having a rookie QB plus losing him for 1/3 of the year then you will see more recognition as a team and not just the playmakers individually.

Denver/Seattle/SF/NO/GB

....

Giants/Bucs/Raiders

Vikings/Jags

 

You can almost draw 6-27 out of a hat. I might just bet the underdog in every game.

 

I agree, except Indy should also be at the front of the pack.

Spot on. We have always had flashes of excellence, but we can never maintain it throughout the season. Hopefully this is something Marrone can fix.
