my·o·pi·a

[scootermcc33]

I am a bit perplexed that there are Bills fans who are actually happy with this season. They are sticking up for Tom Dumb-a-hoe, and they are criticizing the critics, like Jerry Sullivan and the WGR radio team. While reading these message boards I am shocked that some myopic people give this team a pass on this season. The last five seasons have been highlighted by hype. Changing jerseys, throwing parades for Drew Bledsoe, adding a third jersey, changing the turf, and changing the quarterback again. What was missed, as we were buying our new jerseys, and upgrading our seats, was that this team has drafted poorly, and has not signed (to keep) their own players. Winfield, Williams, and Washington are doing well on other teams. Jonas Jennings might be a future star (that was not re-signed,) and so might Nate Clements in 2006. Greg Williams was a huge mistake; it goes on and on and on.

 

As for the critics, they are looking at the team objectively. WGR gets killed on these boards for negativity, but the days of Chuck Dickerson have been over for a few years. Yes is was terrible that Chuck would complain about Wade and his headset, but today's criticism is justified. You can still be a fan without blind loyalty toward "all that is one bills drive." Sully is not a fan, he is paid to write objectively. He states facts and gives educated opinions. When the team was 10-6 or 11-5 and getting blasted by the Buffalo News and WGR, it was annoying. But to "not blast" this organization today, for five years of the worst football and game day experience ever would be a crime.

 

Case In Point (Game Day)

Replays are censored by the Bills (not in other stadiums)

Music is a lame joke and it takes away from crowd noise

There are too many poorly written and poorly produced commercials on the jumbo-tron (A free small coffee for 2 touchdowns is a piss poor offer, as is a Metro Flash Pass to endure 30 seconds of racing busses)

 

In 1988 we ripped down goalposts because we had not been to the playoffs in 8 long years. We are getting real close to that today. Sure we are not 2-14, but this team (in the age of parity) is equal to the Ron Pitts, Vince Farragamo, Mark Brammer Greg Bell and Joe Dufek days that we once suffered with. Yes a blind squirl can find an acorn. The squirl with the white hair has discovered a few gems on the roster. Yet the roster is full of scrubs. The horrible 80's team also had a few gems. Andre Reed came out of the sour 80's as did Talley and Richter. So be strong myopians, Willis, J.P. and Lee will still be there when the new guy takes over. Bill Pollian took his acorns (that another blind squirl had stumbled upon) and built a team by drafting and scouting.

 

Don't let TD's hype hypnotize you!!!!

The 90's Bills had the worst turf (after Philly) and a horrible scoreboard. We embraced ZUBAS, not third jerseys. And when we bought jerseys, Pollian and Butler overpaid long in the tooth players so that we wouldn't have to cut out the name(or throw out the jersey) three years later. The music was only played after points were scored, or when we sang to a Taco Chain. We were not blasted with some lame DJ's record collection. It is just so bad to listen to!!!!

 

Let Sully and WGR bang the drum for TD to be replaced. It is in the best interest of the team to find a football person who can return this team back to a playoff team. Maybe in 2006 we can rip down the goal posts and begin a run like we had so many many many years ago. Bye Bye Tom and Tom!!!!

I agree with you to an extent, however, with the change of times, the league changes as well. It has become uber-competitive with it now being a "what have you done for us now" league. Added, the winner of the Super Bowl happens to be a division rival who has proven to win consistently by plugging individuals into certain places and still managing to be effective. This has resulted in organizations attemting to emphasize coaching and not individual player talent. We need to blame the coaching staff.

If you don't like the bus race then don't watch. I look forward to the bus races every game. I think my section is the loudest during the bus races.

Hey look over there, it's Coy Wire, let's go get his autograph. It's great to be a Bills Fan!!! Wouldn't it be great if we go 8-8? Hold on there's Josh Reed, let's go shake his hand. OOOps sorry Mr. Reed, I will slow my hand down so you can grab it....there ya go...nice to meet you.. you are so great out there. Oh look there is Mike Williams, the big teddy bear. It is so great to be a Bills fan.

 

Mr Donahoe if I might be so bold to approach you, I know you are embarrassed by us unwashed Buffalo people, but thank you so much for giving us a great team and a great product to cheer for. We will do anything you say oh silver haired god. Oh listen J.P. Is telling us that a certain newspaper is bad for giving up on the team. That's it, I will never read that paper again. How dare they say the Bills stink, remember last year as we climbed back into it. If it wasn't for that evil Bledsoe we would have been 10-6 and in the Super Bowl. At least that is what Mike and Tom said. I hope I can get Joe Burn's autograph soon, then I will have the complete set. What a wonderful year and to think there are only two more home games left, oh wait what if we win the division. Go Jeff Posey Go!!!

Chuck is that you???

I am not happy with this season. How can anyone be happy with this season? My reply is not entirely directed at YOU, by the way.

 

Yes, my expectations were too high after Training Camp - I always start out the season optimistically.

 

But if the Bills are not going to the Show, I will only get 16 games guaranteed in the season, and I will be DAMNED if I am going to cry doomed in week 4, or spend the season bitching about everything from the commercials on the jumbotron, to the time the parking lots open, to the quarterback's hairstyle.

 

Like a television show, movie, or newspaper column, it is my choice to read, watch, listen, or ignore it. Thoughtful criticism is welcomed, poor journalism presented as editorial media is easily ignored.

 

Right now the best I can do is try to enjoy each Sunday and hope the team can win. I have from January 2nd to September to B word about "woulda, shoulda, coulda"; you will also notice I am not posting with rose colored glasses on either.

 

I understand your frustration. Sorry your season is over with 5 games left, and you make some excellent points; lots of things need to change NOW!

 

I will make the best of it by another tailgate party or two and some garbage plates with good friends. I have plenty of time to say "Wait til next year".

Yo, Scooter, if you think the past five years are the worst football and game day experiences ever, you are not only young, you also have very thin skin.

 

You need a new sport. Like figure skating. Or bowling. Or ice fishing. Or darts.

GREAT POST ROCK. The least of our problems is the Jumbotron and music played. Like u I will start bitching come Jan 2nd. I did B word when JP was benched but looks like maybe this is the best thing that happened for the kid. I wouldnt mind seeing some youth movement in next 5 weeks like Preston at Center or Guard he played good when CV was out not sure why he isnt the solution for left guard.

Do you really think that there is anyone who is happy with this season? Just because many people don't find it helpful to fixate on the negative in something they follow for entertainment purposes doesn't mean that anyone thinks this team is great. What I wonder is, are the struggles of the Buffalo Bills football team really the most important part of people's lives? If so, you are truly blessed.

[bobblehead]

You worry too much about other people's feelings. You need to look out for yourself more.
