billsgpr88 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I've long been a critic of Rodak, who in the past seemed determined to cast a dark cloud over any sign of progress or potential on the bills. But this year, he is giving credit where it's due. Lots of it. It makes me wonder if he has turned a corner in his reporting style, or perhaps the bills have grown on him and now he's showing his Fandom through his reports. The third possibility is that he's always reported with the same approach, and his insight has identified something truly to respect and admire about this team, as opposed to the deceptive rays of hope this team has shown in previous years. Haven't made up my mind yet which answer is the closest to reality, but either way I love the positive press. Go bills! Edited October 5, 2017 by billsgpr88

Haven't made up my mind yet which answer is the closest to reality, but either way I love the positive press. Go bills!i listened to a radio show with three curmudgeons (Tim Graham, Jerry Sullivan and mike rodak) yesterday and I gathered that it is the "third possibility".
Mat68 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The past few years even during some good stretches they were negative. However, they were always proved right. Idk if it Buffalo is truely good or they had just severly low expectations Buffalos play seems better than it is. Either Buffalo seems to have found a winning formula.
BringBackFergy Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I think McDermott and Beane have a lot to do with the new media outlook. Rodak and Sullivan were never fans of Rex...doubt they were in love with Whaley either. McBeane seems to have a straight shooter approach, hard work, disciplined, concentrating on preparation, teamwork, fundamentals. If the media guys speak for the fans, then that might be why there is a change in the reporting.

I don't always read Rodak but my sense is that he was pretty uninformed about the Bills when he first got this gig but he's been working hard to catch up.
Bray Wyatt Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Rodak even when he gives credit to the bills praises the Pats. Like one of his recent ones, where he described what the bills were doing in the FO as the Pats formula
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 He's a NE fan. Ain't that kick in the nuts! Another carpetbagger. Why can't they find BFLo people. Go from outside, fine... But find BFLo fans. Then I might buy in.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I don't always read Rodak but my sense is that he was pretty uninformed about the Bills when he first got this gig but he's been working hard to catch up. He's been better of late. He still likes to throw a dig in here and there.
Marty McFly Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Dont fall for it!!! Hes roping you in so he can snark you to death when the pats get back on their feet!
boyst Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I don't always read Rodak but my sense is that he was pretty uninformed about the Bills when he first got this gig but he's been working hard to catch up. but still incredibly biased doing so
Heavy Kevi Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Dont fall for it!!! Hes roping you in so he can snark you to death when the pats get back on their feet! Unfortunately, this is probably the most likely scenario. But perhaps it's "if" the Pats get on their feet...
cba fan Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Unfortunately, this is probably the most likely scenario. But perhaps it's "if" the Pats get on their feet... If teams keep melting down when they play Pats it will not take long for them to get back on their feet.

If the Bills lose this week though they will all pounce on this team and be right back into their normal critical mode. Jerry Sullivan is salivating at the possibilities sadly.
cba fan Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Rodak and Love never belong together in a sentence, unless Patriots is in it. Edited October 6, 2017 by cba fan
Gugny Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel ....
Nick the Greek Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Plus the BN has a new sports editor , another change for the better.he pulled the trigger getting rid of free content. I don't think that's so good.
Peter Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I know a lot of people do not like Rodak here, but he actually seems to "break" his fair share of Bills stories.
Nick the Greek Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Ain't that kick in the nuts! Another carpetbagger. Why can't they find BFLo people. Go from outside, fine... But find BFLo fans. Then I might buy in. maybe it cuz the graduates from Buffalo public high schools don't read and write too good.
