Eat Crow: Your most embarrassing Bills opinions

Recommended Posts

I bought a flight to Phoenix, booked a rental car, bought a parking pass near State Farm Stadium, and booked a motel in Casa Grande for the Super Bowl last January.  By the 4th quarter of the Bengals game I was cancelling the flight (got a credit for a future flight-used most of it to book a flight to California later this year), rental car & motel reservation.  I ended up getting a credit from Groupon for the parking but since most of the stuff on Groupon is trash & I had spent $150 on the parking, I cashed the parking credit in for a refurbished I-Pad I never use & 50 AA batteries which might last long enough to end up in my estate.

I really thought we were drafting Bryant McKinnie at 4 overall, not Mike Williams.

 

I wanted McKinnie instead of Williams and every time Mike messed up in a home game I'd yell from my seat, "Should have drafted McKinnie,"

When the Bills signed Hughes and Dareus I was glad we signed Dareus and thought Hughes ripped us off. 

I agree with this, his best 3 games were his first 3. Marrone ruined him completely. He never was gonna be Josh good but could have been an effective pro.

Marrone saw how bad EJ was in practice and was more interested in protecting his own job and reputation than wasting any time on a bust.  I say instead of blaming Marrone for EJ's failure, blame the scouts who approved him as a first rounder when most other teams didn't.

- We need to draft Ryan Leaf

- Donald Trump needs to buy the team (Well, I’m not ready to give in on that one yet - but I’m getting there).

 

ok, ok ! Frankly speaking, I’ve been mostly perfect with my Bills opinions, I’m just trying to come down to every one else’s level.

 

Note: For those who cannot identify sarcasm / slapstick humor, relax, we are just having a good time.

Bring up a good one with trump

 

one has to wonder if McDermott would have been here at 13 seconds with trump as the owner 

I thought we had two shut down corners when they brought in vintage davis

 

lasted a half

Everyone wants to hate marrone but he was right pretty often about his team

Oh, I forgot that one!  I was a huge Doug Marrone fan, (I'm a big fan of Bill Parcells -that's why), no he wasn't perfect, but he is / was good!  Coach Marrone has the mental toughness the current Bills team is sorely lacking.  Imagine this:

 

- HC Doug Marrone with Josh Allen

- HC Sean McDermott with EJ Manual

 

Putting those comparisons in perspective could get a person to significantly change their opinions on each coach.

 

Further, 

Owner - Trump 

HC - Marrone

QB - Allen

 

I realize that will make some people gag, but I prefer the stronger personalities - now on to the "Trade Diggs" thread ...Bottom line - love the guy, I would go to war with him!

That’s a tough organization that everyone hates to compete against

When the Bills first drafted Willis McGahee, I almost swallowed my hard candy. I thought he was going to be our next OJ Simpson, for those of you who have been around long enough to have seen him play. Was I wrong.

I liked the Rex Ryan hire 

Stevie Watkins was a rare talent 

James Hardy was the big receiver we needed

Should have drafted Rosen 

 

 

 


Ed Oliver was a bad draft pick…oh wait, I was right about that one 🤣

I got an Antwan Smith rookie autograph card (I sent him a letter) as a young kid. I wanted so bad for him to be the next best thing at rb for us. I talked him up to my friends saying he would be stud. Granted this was 5th grade me. 
 

More recently like a few others here, I thought for sure Trent Edwards and the team were legit when they were off to that hot start. I was talking up the team big time to my friends/family who are all Seahawks fans. My best friend (a big football Seahawks fan) didn’t believe the hype and I tried to convince him otherwise. I also thought Trent would find a way out of his Trentative shell 🤦‍♂️

 

Thanks God I can finally talk about the Bills in the same breath (or better) than my Seahawks friends/family. It feels good having a seat at the table in regards to being a fan of a truly competitive team with a shot to win it all.

Yep that’s my biggest one by far. Can’t be any happier to be that wrong.
