YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I don't know if this a complete, 100%, take no prisoners slam on the team but ... I guess they are anything but conformists, for better or worse, in the eyes of this writer. And it's funny. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/tell-your-grandkids-about-the-2015-buffalo-bills/?ex_cid=story-twitter Most pro sports teams are smart these days, or at least they try to be. Everyone follows the same Moneyball-ish blueprint, trying to exploit the same market inefficiencies. Most teams are risk-averse as a rule. Its like a race to see who can be most responsible. But what if I told you that there was one team that refused to play by the rules? What if there was an entire team that was built on questionable logic and bad decisions? What if I took you to the edge of the cliff in the Smart Sports era, and told you that not everyone jumps? Some teams try to fly. Edited October 9, 2015 by YoloinOhio

hondo in seattle Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Good find. Not insightful at all, but an entertainingly different perspective. Then one day, years from now, someone will ask, “Remember that Bills team that was rocking out with Sammy Watkins, Percy Harvin, Tyrod Taylor, Rex Ryan, and LeSean McCoy?” Yes, yes I will. Next to 25 teams trying to imitate the Seahawks and Patriots, this is different. Edited October 9, 2015 by hondo in seattle

HamSandwhich Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Haha, this is great! Can Madden work in the NFL reality? Stay tuned!

LeGOATski Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 HA! My friend and I once made up a song and it went like this: Tuiasosopo! Tuiasosopo! That's it.
NorthBuffaloKid Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Toward the end of the article, he refers to "the roller coaster of emotion". The bi-polar Bills? Lets hope not.

HamSandwhich Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 i take it as a complement. dare to be different Same here, no one ever became great by following the crowd. Dare to be different!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Pretty funny article, and true in some respects. "I don’t want to get too deep with the Madden analogy, but come on: LeSean McCoy is the closest thing the NFL has to a living, breathing L2 button."
Seasons1992 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just get healthy after the bye week and then start balling. Sneak in the postseason, mess fools up, rinse and repeat all the way to San Fran for a rematch with the Giants. We beat them in-season in 1990, they beat us 25 years later, and this time Skynard makes a 47 yarder off (crappy) grass to exorcise the demons. Except for a personal foul penalty that wipes it out.
Wazzu Bill Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Reading that article makes me wish so badly that watkins and mccoy are healthy. we could dominate so much more on offense and take the pressure off our defense
jeffismagic Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 He's right. This team is so nuts it's entertaining. And it is the perfect Madden team! Mobile QB, playmakers on offense, power formations, blitzing defense.
