snafu Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 To me it is win it all, but the baby might arrive at different times for different people. I'm just curious whether there's a consensus.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It means nothing anymore. That guy is long gone
NOVABillsFan Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Not a thing. Care to expound? I have no idea what the reference is to?
nucci Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Nothing, unless I'm visiting someone who just had a baby.
yall Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It means you might be getting a visit from the Fed's for soliciting the kiddie stuff...
K D Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I don't know what "show me the baby" refers to but our goal better be to win the Super Bowl. Nobody gives 2 craps about making the wild card. Quick, name the wild card teams from last yr. Nobody remembers or cares. There's only 1 successful team every year and then there's 31 losers
GunnerBill Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I don't know what "show me the baby" refers to but our goal better be to win the Super Bowl. Nobody gives 2 craps about making the wild card. Quick, name the wild card teams from last yr. Nobody remembers or cares. There's only 1 successful team every year and then there's 31 losers Whilst I do agree with you on the sentiment I can name all the wild card teams from last year - Baltimore, Cincy, Arizona, Detroit. EDIT: I can probably tell you who the AFC wildcards were each year for about 10.... I don't think that proves your point but I don't think your point needs proving. All I will say is how often does a team go from not in the play-offs one year to Superbowl Champ the next? New England did for their first one I think the Giants have as well.... I know it does happen but I would suggest most Superbowl winners were in the play-offs the previous year.... especially in recent times. Edited December 16, 2015 by GunnerBill
papazoid Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 meaning of " just show me the baby" = results with no excuses
KD in CA Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It means people are using stupid and meaningless phrases.
Mike in Horseheads Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 When the chick says she wants child support because it's your kid.
buffaloboyinATL Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 If the question is, when will I consider this team to be "back in the mix" it will be when we are competing with New England for the division title.
filthymcnasty08 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It's hick for "we're going to draft a smurfy little WR speedster bust instead of Russell Wilson"
Freddie's Dead Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 If you had said Wild Card Birth, now that would have been funny.
tennesseeboy Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 for Rex the "show me the baby" would have been, by his own statements, a wildcard berth. He has failed in making that come true. Consider that his coaching was a major factor in our not making the playoffs, failing to curb extremely stupid penalties and puzzling actions and inactions (challenges in particular come to mind). The "defensive scheme" has yet to be shown to have been an improvement. The question is whether he is aware of his failings and whether he has it in him to turn it around with a new coaching staff. If the Pegulas give him one more year it should be a year on an extremely short leash. He should understand that dumb penalties, poor challenges, and clown antics won't wash in his probation season.
Best Player Available Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It's hick for "we're going to draft a smurfy little WR speedster bust instead of Russell Wilson" ya'all got that right. Then getting catfished the following year was all anyone needed to hear from that scout working way above his talent level.
snafu Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Geez, I thought show me the baby was part of the lexicon around here. It refers to Buddy Nix's first press conference when he became GM. He was talking about having no excuses for how to get to success "just show me the baby". Nobody ever really expounded on what that meant. It can mean a lot of different things to differing minds And Lord knows that minds differ around here. All I know is that I haven't seen any "baby" from One Bills Drive yet. And to a point made above - I don't expect that any team will go from not making the playoffs to winning the Super Bowl. I was just trying to say (and see what others think) when it is that I'd be satisfied. Would you like me to start another Rex Sucks thread instead?
reddogblitz Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 For now, WC game. Once we hit that, I'll revise. But as of right now, PLAYOFFS.
Nihilarian Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Its a reference by ex Bills GM Buddy Nix to the fans. The fans don't want to hear about birthing pains, and just want to see the results. I think it refers to a winning season, and perhaps a playoff berth. Nix gave us neither!
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Unfortunately I don't even think we are pregnant anymore.
Cugalabanza Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I've seen the baby. It's an ugly baby. It's also a stupid baby with a lousy personality. And it's wearing no clothes. And the baby has crapped itself and stinks to high hell.
