Some of our darling local media really dislikes that their opinion counts even less to the Bills now then it did before and that they've been actively made to look like fools. Since most national sports media lacks an acceptable sourcing standard, you end up with this type of feeding frenzy. The best bet to get this to stop is write to the local media outlets and complain not about the tone of the coverage, but the lack of objective reporting and facts. Demand more actual reporting instead of this 'observational (didn't have to put on pants to write this)' coverage.
