The bbmb did suck.... ... But I miss it too. Not sure what it is, or why really. Like a first day in a new house it doesn't feel like home. But it's been months. All the news is here. Other Bills fans are here. Many familiar IDs/avatars are here... But, years and years of posting and here we are, "newbies", and clearly not wanted/welcome, but I need my Bills fix. Trust me, TBD, we would go home if it wasn't burned down in the middle of the night. But for now, you are stuck with us. And us, you... Because we need to talk Bills, and obviously we can't help it.

Pots just never seem to cease calling kettles black. Blame bbmb.... Sure the increase in stupid threads has increased, repetitive threads, adgenda driven convos etc, but the people contributing the most negatively are tenured TBDers from what I have seen. But yeah, YOLO, you are the premier news-breaker around here and I only open long threads when I see you as the last poster, thinking there must be some updated news. Thanks bro.

Good point. Also, as opposed to "every year", this is the most sweeping change in 2 decades or more. Moreover, the hires are smart, hard working, detail oriented, and articulate.... And actually, really on the same page. OneBuffalo, if you will. We have not had that combo in a long long time, and it's the best road to continued success. Anyone can catch lightning in a bottle for a year or two, but it takes control freak, multitasking, and attention to detail to sustain it. If only Rex could focus on the details he would have been much better, but clock management and penalties were details he couldn't seem to master.

I choose option "C" Wondering why this thread is even here. NBA and a non Bills NFL corruption ring have little if any to do with us.

Clearly coming from pensacola they are just trying to make themselves feel better. They have no fans down there. They don't really know about "sports cities", but we don't win games and it's "cold" up here so they put us near the top. Anyhow... Who cares? Man, you have put forth some good posts. This is not one of them, "so he can keep them as bottom feeders" lol, not even the most disillusioned fan believes that.

Holy crap Jeff.... I 100% agree with your post. What I read is, as later as last year, Russ was drawing up contracts and giving our GM an extension even though Terry/Kim had reservation. If this purge is a "witch hunt", Russ is the only real witch to find.

I find it comical that you post over the top, rediculous posts on a near daily basis.... ... And then act like everyone else is crazy. But you got your attention, didn't you. And that really is the point of this thread.

29?! I never cease to be surprised. Fans aren't part of the inner circle, and are not in the CBA.... The NFL is a supplier of entertainment, we are the consumer, that's capitalism sir. Fair trade, nobody wins. Would be nice to be able to get the inner workings, but they don't actually owe us anything, and any sentiment to the contrary is just jive. To put it clearly: Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything. If you have to know the inner workings of an NFL franchise I submit you work for one, or start one of your own.

So I know this is Bills forum, but he is reportedly in charge of Sabres new GM hire. I don't expect him to be any better at hockey management than he was NFL. And I also know most likely he has nothing to do with football ops, but we DONT know that for sure. He has failed in every aspect of his job that we can fairly assess (gm, hiring gms, hiring hcs, etc), so I don't quite get why he has always had such a huge army of MB members to rush to his defense, as I view most of what he has done as indefensible. He is a top exec in a failing organization, and that right there is enough to get you fired even if you are just the office pencil sharpener and copy maker.

Reminds me of Ritchie actually. Obviously much larger and against lowly competition, but hey no wonder why they brought him in.

I think it matters because it's real reporting with *apparently* real sources. It is, in a word, journalism. Something that does not happen much anymore as most just hot take and retweet with their adgenda. One of the last of a dying breed, as the world evolves into propoganda and lies. You can't trust the media these days, so if there is someone I can believe, it's a big deal in my opinion.

I think it's "people in glass houses... sssink ships" Or maybe I'm wrong. https://youtu.be/o5WnXHA1-s8

Thanks for the heads up. Bump... It's an hour away.

Who gives a flying crap It's their money, and they will make it back 15 seconds into the first game. And Terry has made it clear that his goal for the Sabres and Bills isn't to make money. Fracking makes alot more than a pro sports franchise.

Money for nothin' for sure....

I'm shocked there hasn't been more interest in him. It's tempering my enthusiasm at the moment. But he might help us out alot if signed.

Yeah and with Michael Jasper at DT nobody will be able to run up the middle!

Well what we've been doing isn't working. It's not like it's unheard of, and we need a shake-up.

This is true... But more concerning is the narrative that Trent was any good at any point. Saying he was bad after that Wilson hit implies there was proficiency before that moment. Captain checkdown was horrendous and painful to watch since the beginning. If anyone thinks we 3-and-out alot now (we actually do), it was way worse with Trentative. Let's be honest here that any win coming during his tenure was due to the bend-don't-break cover 2, RB, and ST. The 7 games we won every year with him were despite him not because of him. I hope there are no similarities.

Don't blame reefer for OP's lunacy. Buffalobud420 and billsbareback should be buddies. They know more than everyone else. Duh. Oh, also.... This thread is a train wreck. And saying something stupid becomes compounded when you double down and defend it. How in the sam hell could you even glean a philosophy from an asst GM, even if that were a thing and/or mattered at all?

McDermott just ran the draft. Clearly, as even the team has supported that. You really think they would only let him do that the first year, and then it defaults to the GM? Doubtful in my mind. McD is the man at OBD, and any GM will be "on the same page", most likely with McD's pre-approval.

Closet Pats* "fan"? Or out of the closet? I'm confused because your post screams "I'm a Pats* fan" from the rooftops, but you joined long ago, back before there were any fans in Foxborough. Quite a conundrum.

I don't much care what Pats* fans have to say. I am happy they are pat fans though, it makes it easier to know who not to interact with. It's like a dunce cap or a scarlet letter.

Yeah idk why everyone is so sensative to these firings all of the sudden. If I failed to do my job well for an extended period of time I would expect to be fired too.

None of these names would surprise me. I wonder if they already have a favorite or if they are gonna start interviewing everyone. Beane would seem a little too convenient to me if they don't at least talk to some other candidates, so I like hearing them linked to some legit GM targets
