Like A Mofo Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Buffalo sports fans: You have to get over the fact that national outlets do NOT want to see your teams succeed, do NOT want to travel to Buffalo when they are on the road. They don't care about Buffalo. Stop yearning for validation from these talking heads once and for all. 1

The guy who lives in South Beach almost fainted with praise for Josh Rosen and the Dolphins draft (he included Rosen as a 2nd round pick) and the free agency.....gave them a C. They signed Fitz and one other guy, and lost Cam Wake, their QB and another guy. They earned a C because they dumped some salary cap room for next year. They all agreed that the future star QB in the East is Darnold, and then they went a little nuts over the New England draft, giving it an A+ because they drafted N'Keal Harry!!! And Chase Winovich!! Meanwhile, the Bills, who signed 17+ free agents and had a really good draft? Not worth mentioning. Our defense that finished #2 in the league with several key players missing? Not a peep. We played New England twice, San Diego, Baltimore, the Saints, the Colts, the Bears, the Packers and Vikings, the Texans, Titans and Jags, and still had the number 2 overall defense in the league. Not even mentioned. I know we're irrelevant. We're not even a cute novelty to the media. It's annoying. The only people who pay any attention to this team at all are the fans and the team itself. If your team needs to sign 17 free agents you don't deserve to be mentioned. Just win. National exposure is all about winning. There is no anti-Buffalo bias. There is a losing bias. We lost for 17 years.
John from Riverside Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I really like the under the radar bills.......we keep beating the jets year after year.......and they keep getting promoted. 5 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: If your team needs to sign 17 free agents you don't deserve to be mentioned.

You know....I just got done watching this thing on TV starting last Thursday....the jets actually picked BEFORE the bills.....by several picks actually I agree.....dont cover losing teams
White Linen Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 The media has no influence on how I think about the Bills.

napmaster Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 That will teach you for watching ESPN. I guess you missed the memo. 1

The Senator Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) 50 minutes ago, gregor7777 said: We're a small market. We'll never have the coverage of the bigger markets. The smaller markets that do get that kind of coverage have wildly successful franchises over many decades. When we win some games over several years, people will discuss the Bills. Until then, zip. Funny thing is, Buffalo is not as small-market as some think, at least from a Neilsen ratings perspective BuffTown is 53rd on Neilsen Designated Market Area (DMA) list, slightly behind Jacksonville, way higher than Green Bay. Now throw in Southern Ontario including Toronto -which is only about 35 miles away, as the crows (and TV signals) fly, which is definitely part of our TV and season ticket market, and which Neilsen and the NFL fail to consider. We instantly become the 4th largest DMA, leapfrogging every NFL city except NY, LA, and Chicago. Just sayin’. (But I agree - going 5-0 before the bye week will draw some media attention.) .

Give me one example from the last 20 years of Buffalo THRIVING when expectations were low. Just one. 20 years of football. Literally: one. 1
LABILLBACKER Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 It's written in their operating instructions not to ever mention Buffalo. We are "he who will remain nameless "....
Buffalo Junction Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 If Allen posts numbers that dwarf Darnold and Rosens’ then they’ll talk about this team. If the Bill go 2-0 against the Pats then they’ll talk about this team. If the Bills cut Shady they’ll talk about this team. If the Bills make the playoffs they will y’all about this team... Got do something, good or bad, for them to talk about it.

Did they get all moist over how the Pats traded up for a punter?

No offense, but your first mistake is watching ESPN. Mass media is geared toward the masses. Intelligent (bills) fans are not the masses.
KGun12TD Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I figured you’d Understand why since it came from ESPN.
The Senator Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 ESPN adored the Bills when Berman ran the show. .
