The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Do you think the reason the Bills have been getting so many blatently bad calls against us the past few years is because of lack of respect for the Pegulas? I know they're always talked about as nice people, and respected buisnesmen, and mabye even by their fellow owners they are. But from a competetive level, look what was happening when they took over the Bills. One of the most obvious tank jobs in sports history was in full operation. What kind of a message does that send to the NFL? Don't get me wrong, I love Eichel, and was pro tank, but not everybody views it that way. But others look at it as a lack of integrity for the game, or for sports in general. And every sports official, at least the respectable ones (who are admittedly few and far between now a days), is all about integrity and upholding that integrity. When that's whats going on in the Pegula Sports and Entertainment company as a whole, no wonder refs have no respect for us. Just a thought. Edited November 24, 2015 by The Real Buffalo Joe
TheFunPolice Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Andrew Luck to the Colts was a total tank job, and they got lucky to suck in the exact right year. Think about it: their logo is a horseshoe and their QB's name is Luck!
PromoTheRobot Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Pegula's have owned the Bills one full year. We've been getting hosed for 50 some years.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Pegula's have owned the Bills one full year. We've been getting hosed for 50 some years. I'm not doubting that. But you can't tell me it hasn't been even more painfully obvious the past year or two.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It's already an interesting week for threads.
All_Pro_Bills Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Look across the field to the other sideline last night and tell me what level of integrity you see?
LeGOATski Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Donald Trump would've gotten more respect!
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Come on TRBJ Your better than this Lets not grasp at straws CBF
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Look across the field to the other sideline last night and tell me what level of integrity you see? They cheated yes. And I hate them for it. But the lowest possible form of lack of integrity, in a lot of eyes atleast, is intentially losing. Why do you think guys like Pete Rose, or the 1919 White Sox are still bared from the Hall of fame?
Kelly the Dog Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Each of the 31 other NFL owners instantly, and for no reason, had their franchises worth approximately $300-400m more than it had been worth solely because the Pegulas decided to overpay for the Bills that much. I'm sure they hate the Pegulas for it.
LeGOATski Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 People love winners! Beautiful!! Make America beautiful winners again!!
PromoTheRobot Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not doubting that. But you can't tell me it hasn't been even more painfully obvious the past year or two. Just curious how old you are. I'm in my late 50's so I've seen decades of this BS. I'm thinking you are just a youngin'
nucci Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not doubting that. But you can't tell me it hasn't been even more painfully obvious the past year or two. Yes I can. Do you remember playing the Dolphins in the 70s? Same thing....we got screwed by refs in many of those games....(plus we sucked many of those years)
26CornerBlitz Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yes I can. Do you remember playing the Dolphins in the 70s? Same thing....we got screwed by refs in many of those games....(plus we sucked many of those years) Shula was on the competition committee in those days it was an definite advantage.

If I believe anything it's that Kraft tells his lapdog Dean Blandino to ride the Bills hard to let Terry & Kim know who really runs the league.

Why would the NFL officials hate the Pegulas for losing in hockey, especially when most of the people following hockey totally understood the tank and approved?
nucci Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Shula was on the competition committee in those days it was an definite advantage. I remember them all too well I'm not saying the owners are doing this, or anybody in NFL at an executive level. I'm saying this is an unspoken thing amongst the officials. If it's unspoken how do you know about it?
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Why would the NFL officials hate the Pegulas for losing in hockey, especially when most of the people following hockey totally understood the tank and approved? Owners, GMs, Anylists, Even some coaches and players, approved. But from the view of a sports official, who's job is to keep the game clean, that's one of the worst things you can do, no matter how it helps your team in the long run. I remember them all too well If it's unspoken how do you know about it? It's just a theory.
