thewildrabbit Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Its a great time to be a Buffalo Bills fans. We now know that they will stay in Buffalo past 2020...yay! We have a new owner who doesn't need the team to make a profit to support him and all his hobbies, and will spend what it takes. The best part about new ownership is he isn't a controlling freak who will be hands-on like other owners, and will let the football men make the football decisions. That said, we all can finally expect accountability, and it shouldn't take ten years of bad drafting to realize there is a problem in the drafting process. If this coaching staff doesn't field a winner this year we can expect change, and hopefully to obtain an experienced offensive coordinator in the process. I'm so sick of noobs, like Turk Schonert, Alex Van Pelt, Hate Hackett, and the biggest dummy in Gailey as HC and running the entire offense.
truth on hold Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Author sounds like he's about 10 years old. "I know EJ is going to be best quarterback over the next 5 years cuz like he's really good and stuff."
tennesseeboy Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Potential and a dollar might get you a hamburger at Mickey D's.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Manuel is definitely "exciting" when he continually throws to ball into the dirt, over receivers heads, or to the wrong side of a receiver who has to do contortions to catch it. And that doesn't even include all the times he misses open receivers. Yes, he does complete many passes as well. All of this is what makes a quarterback mediocre.
chris heff Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I'm so use to the Bills getting ripped, that as I started reading and didn't see them in the D or even C section I was certain the article would end with a special F section just for the Bills.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I'm so use to the Bills getting ripped, that as I started reading and didn't see them in the D or even C section I was certain the article would end with a special F section just for the Bills. this. But obviously, this writer must have no credibility because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Mr. WEO Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 this. But obviously, this writer must have no credibility because it doesn't fit the narrative. Actually, it is because he printed the proper narrative that this guy is being cited on this board at all.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Actually, it is because he printed the proper narrative that this guy is being cited on this board at all. Who's narrative is that?
Dan Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I'm so use to the Bills getting ripped, that as I started reading and didn't see them in the D or even C section I was certain the article would end with a special F section just for the Bills. I backed up several times looking for the Bills. Then got pissed because they didn't even mention us! Good thing I continued reading the crap list.... finished it and was thinking, "wow, that's a great article!" What is most interesting though is reading some of the responses here (and in the EJ is actually pretty good article) by people seemingly upset that their preconceived narratives aren't being reinforced by pundits.
John Cocktosten Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Edgar Allen Poe gave the Bills a solid B FWIW.
John from Riverside Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 WGR is gonna shat all over this one
Mr. WEO Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Who's narrative is that? The official one, of course.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 The official one, of course. ? Only one poster agreed with the writer from what I can tell. So it isn't the narrative of the board.
Tyrod's Tailor Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 this. But obviously, this writer must have no credibility because it doesn't fit the narrative. He'd have a lot more if he knew how to spell "E.J. Manuel."
Bills Fan in MD Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I really hate these types of articles (not quite as much as the ones that "grade" a draft the day after it happens, but close). ANYTHING can happen over the course of a year or two, much less five. I agree that there's a ton of young talent on our roster now but, as everyone knows, it all begins and ends with EJ. And all that aside, having Detroit on the list of "A" teams really undermines this guy's credibility. That team is going to get old and/or fleeced by free agency a lot faster than they are going to be a force in the postseason. Edited September 26, 2014 by Bills Fan in MD
Fadingpain Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I agree with this guy's rating. When the Bills roll over the Texans on Sunday and have a 3-1 record, the negative nancy's who came out of the woodwork this week, will put their tales between their legs and go back in hiding, silently bitter with the knowledge they weren't right about anything they've been so declarative about these past few days. The rest of us will have fun. Duly noted.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 He'd have a lot more if he knew how to spell "E.J. Manuel." That discredits half the posters here as well, fwiw.
Tyrod's Tailor Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 That discredits half the posters here as well, fwiw. true, but most posters here aren't trying to make a name for themselves as a writer.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 true, but most posters here aren't trying to make a name for themselves as a writer. I'm actually amazed at the grammatical and spelling errors in published work online, and even in print. Does no one bother to proofread anymore or use copy editors? I mean, on a board like this I am not careful about grammar and spelling because it is just for fun. If it is something I am doing for work and putting out there with my name attached you better believe I have reviewed it. Some of the stuff out there is honestly hard to read, it is written so poorly.
