There's nothing quite like Maddy Glab talking about watching tape on a prospect... 

 

That's my favorite thing...

Brown is worse.  Sounds like he goes and hits a bag in the mens room each commercial break--guy's too wired.

A bag of what? 😵‍💫

 

Anyways, yeah, Brown acts as giddy as an excited school girl, Glab sounds like one.

You forgot one:

Chiefs are dynasty

Injuries

Bad luck

NFL/refs

 

Or you could go with the other side:

McD sucks (and I know for a fact that he can never win a SB)

Beane sucks

Defense sucks

No talent on the team besides Josh (i.e., everyone sucks but Josh)

 

Ok, I know I'm exaggerating, but that's what it feels like sometimes from some posters. To me, it's just more fun being a fan in the first category. To each his own, I guess. 

 

Just to note, since 2020 (last 5 years):

-The Chiefs win percentage vs. the Bills is 54.5% (50% even since 2021, last 4 years). The Chiefs win percentage vs. the rest of the league over that span is 86.8%.

-The Bills are 4-5 vs. the Chiefs in that span. The combined point totals of each team in those 9 games is Chiefs 243 points; Bills 242 points.

-At the end of regulation in the last three playoff matchups with the Chiefs, K.C. had a combined 6 points more than the Bills (across 3 games). So we are literally talking about one kick, one play, one coin toss, one call, one bounce of the ball going the other way to change the outcomes of any of those games.

-The Chiefs appeared in 5 of the last 6 SBs, winning 3 (and don't discount the whole Taylor Swift marketing stuff).

-Also, did we not have injuries, bad luck, and bad refereeing at times/certain seasons? It's not like people are making those things up.

 

It's just hard for me to buy the idea that McD has been so severely out-coached (or he's the sole reason for our failures) or that we are so far inferior in talent to the other top teams when the margin is that razor-thin (and with the circumstances noted above added---inuries/bad luck/bad refs). Could we improve, get better, get another elite player or two, of course...but we actually have been good enough coaching- and personnel-wise to make a SB, it just hasn't happened. Not to mention that the Bills have been #1 in points scored, #3 in total yards, #1 in points allowed, #1 in TDs allowed, #1 in defensive takeaways, and #2 in total wins over the last 5 years. You don't do that with poor coaching, bad defense, and no talent, no matter how good your QB is (I know, I know...regular season).

 

 

 

Anyhow, as to the OP's post, I think everyone knows not to go to OBL for anything overly-critical or controversial about the team. As an owner, why would you have a show that talks ill of your own product? But, what OBL is good for, imo, is: 1. in-season recapping games and then later in the week prepping for the next game; 2. Right after free agency and the draft, and during training camp (recaps and interviews with new players, etc.); 3. Sometimes they have on good guests and often have player interviews (pre-season, in-season, or say after they signed a contract or whatever). I just pick and choose with OBL. Off-season OBL (not around FA, the draft, or training camp) can be a bit of a slog, so I rarely listen during those periods.

 

*You could say the same thing about Marty Schottenheimer‘s teams throughout the years.

 

I appreciate the stark contrast between the shows. On "Sabres Live," there's a sense of hopelessness, while "One Bills Live" feels like everything is cheerful and optimistic. Then there's Schoop and Bulldog, who can either make valid points or sound like old men complaining about nothing.

There is nothing - NOTHING - about the Bills on the business side of the house that is not about making money. Nothing. The NFL is about making money, and the NFL effectively requires that each of its teams be about making money.  Jerry Jones gets richer only if the other 31 teams are getting richer, too. 

 

The owners will not tolerate a team marketing itself by criticizing it's own product.  Lexus doesn't do that.  Facebook doesn't do that.  No successful business organization does that. 

 

Why did the Bills pull the plug on the Buffalo Bills Message Board?  Because it didn't make any money.  Why did they pull the plug on the Jills?  They didn't make any money. The day Steve Tasker starts criticizing the Bills, the Bills will pull the plug on him.  Pretty simple, and to expect otherwise is naive.

I'm quite certain that the BBMB was shut down because of me.......that forum just wasn't ready for my great insightful football mentality/philosophy that i brought to the table each day.

 

 

 

 

...........and also, i was a bit of an ass

[Mister Defense]

While clearly a homer, as she almost has no choice considering her position and experience, Maddy Glab seems like she really does her homework, knows what she is talking about. Some in this forum can take a lesson from her on that..

 

She has gotten much better over the years, as one would expect with someone early in their career and in this position. Shows her commitment to her craft and the Bills.

 

Funny how so much of the criticism is about more superficial things, such as the sound of her voice etcetera.

 

Overall, it seems that a certain percentage of guys rip into almost all female sports reporters and broadcasters simply because they are women.

Stop listening.

 

It's the home team sports show. You'll find the same with all teams.

Have you ever listened to them after a tough loss?  They are completely open with their criticism as justified.  

Do they scream bloody murder and look for heads to roll?   Of course not and IMHO do not need to appease such over zealous fans.

The absolute worst talk-show host I have literally (and I mean literally), ever heard.

The epitome of awful.

I think the guys from Shout! are pretty hard to listen to as well. 
 

Cover 1 and Locked On are my go-to shows. 

[May Day 10]

I wish that they scripted the show more.  Its just Brown and Tasker, sometimes Glab just flying by the seat of their pants, taking callers, bad radio.   The Sabres show does this as well, but its a little better because they need to avoid talking about the Sabres as much as possible.

 

Murphy, in the early days of One Bills Live (late afternoon/evening) had a great production.  It was all blocked off like a real show.  Had a lot of interviews that were really good, things like that.  

 

 

WGR in general is just a lot of the same shows over and over and over again and I cant listen to it any more.  The younger guys are OK because they are still honing their craft, they are hungry, and they try, but overall it is just a bunch of people going through the motions.

100% facts. I'd take Maddy and Eric Wood on the play calls than Chris Brown's screeching.

I think the term is either “butt-kisser” or “boot-licker”….. you’ve made a disturbing new one here.

[Dave in Avon Lake now]

I don’t live in Buffalo anymore (Cleveland area) , but listen to OBL on Audacy to get Bills news. I agree that it is pro Bills but enjoy their guests like Orlovsky, Cosell and Trapasso. I don’t visit TBD as often but do look here for breaking news & commentary. I guess listen to what you like and tune out when it gets boring.

 

Do any of you ever call in?  

[nosejob]

Just listening and OMG. They say ya never draft specifically for need. Oh yeah? How far back do ya wanna go? Just a little here...needed a cb= Elam

Wanna run 12, need a TE...Kincaid. You can go back to Ed Oliver and it's always need. It's a fact of NFL life.

 

That being said, we need Dline. Don't be stupid. Get the best you can IN ROUND 1.
