embellish? it was a little more than that. i'm not responding to what you wrote because i'm trying to be difficult. i'm just flying around here right now and can't give it the time it deserves. not ignoring you here.

this ron wayne guy is really taking it on the chin today.

i had a friend that when the kids graduated from high school, his parents bought the kids a car. anything they want within a price range. the splash is what he chose. we still to this day don't let him live that down. on top of that, he put a disgusting amount of money into it so he could, "race it". tens of thousands of dollars completely flushed down the toilet.

actually, the only reason i continued to watch season 2 was because of how great season 1 was. i just kept hoping that it would get better. it didn't. it was terrible.

i will be more than happy to discuss anything you want, (and i do feel a lot of your points are good) but you're completely fabricating what was said. there's just no argument to be had on this one.

I’m not even going to bother to read this. If you’re so petty that you have to put words in people’s mouth to make a point, you’re not worth the time. Grow up kid. You’re out of your league. So....can you actually quote what you claim I said. Just so we all can see?

Interesting. I wonder what the indisputable facts are that link the bills to this guy.

Thank you. I was starting to feel left out here.

i have to imagine a used ford splash should get you what you need.

i think this is how the majority of reasonable fans see it.

so you interpret one person's post as that he's ok with it? i don't think he said he would be happy with it, but rather it may happen, and shouldn't get the staff fired. i'd be disappointed after only improving 2 games, but i suppose it could happen. i was originally against playing allen this past year at all, but now i'm happy he did because it may have sped up this rebuild process a bit. with a good fa and draft, only improving 2 games would be a huge bummer.

what fans said the would be happy with 8-8? this keeps coming up. no one said it. reading comprehension people. the question of the thread was when would the gap be closed. some gave their opinion that it probably wouldn't be there next year, no that that was ok. stop with this nonsense narrative. they wouldn't be, nor should they be. some people just want to ignore what's being said in this thread for the sake of complaining. it can be difficult to have a discussion around here. i even had someone putting words in my mouth, literally lying about comments i've made. it's crazy town.

anyone on board with this? after that second season, i'm not sure if i want to use my time.

my only gripe about wny is the lack of sun this time of year. the january to april run is brutal. gloomy, cold, damp, etc. i think it's as bad as advertised. that being said, the suburbs are great, schools are excellent, my area for a small town has some great restaurants. i'm also at the point in my life where it doesn't take me much to make me happy, so whether i lived in a large city vs small, i'd likely be doing the same things everyday.

This is extermely well put. It’s not easy or even fair to ask fans to endure more losing for the sake of winning, but I don’t want a quick appearance here and there in the playoffs. I want to go into each season expecting this team to be playing into January.

Yes. Sammy with his bloated salary and limited production would not have been good for this team. Agreed. When will he’s realize it? In year 6? Maybe in year 7?

It’s shocking how others have taken this some place else.

this is the stupid ***** you do. can you show me once where i stated "tear it down for the first time ever". you love to create made up scenarios to try to win an argument that doesn't exist. you're honestly the board's annoying girlfriend. go ahead....show me where i made any comment where i said it was time to tear it down for the first time ever. i'm curious how you try to twist this. as of now, you're busy being you.

for clarification here, it's obvious that some people are reading into the fact that some don't feel competitive gap will be closed enough next year as being ok. take a breath and realize that was never said. we were set up for failure with the promise of results, and year 3 is when fans rightfully come looking.

agreed. even at this point it's tough to use injuries as an excuse. it has to happen at some point.

who said this?

agreed. if this team shows no improvement into next year, we're all pretty screwed. i do think though that we can see improvement without the playoffs. people may not like to hear that, but it could work out that way. don't you have an awful hot take to push on someone?

that's it? that's not an excuse, it's a reality. even if it is year two from beane, it's year 3 under this coaching staff, and fans expect results as they should.

when i need they don't need to make the playoffs, i mean if they don't, i don't think the pegulas will fire everyone. as a fan i think they need to and will be disappointed if the don't.

can you show me any excuses made in this thread? the question was how long it was going to take to close the competitive gap, and posters gave their answers. are you just looking to be an angry scotty again?
