    Jerry Sullivan Strikes Back With A VENGEANCE, Slams The BN, The Pegulas, and some of the Buffalo fanbase

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    I think the problem is that a lot of us remember Larry Felser, and respected his columns and his opinions. He was critical when needed, and positive when needed. It was balanced. After he left we got a 2nd rate replacement in Sullivan, and the News being comatose for 25 years, because they were rolling in cash, kept him way too long. 

     

    The he guy is not good, period. Never has been. It has zero to do with criticism.

    LOL well I thought working for Buffalo Maven was more desperate 

     

    "lack of quality takes" is completely arbitrary.  Just because you didn't like his opinion does not mean he had an misinformed opinion.  I'd argue the  opposite 

    Good point. Everyone has their opinion. Hopefully, you can continue to enjoy his work. I’ll continue not reading or listening to him.

    Your comment is exactly what I was saying.  You misunderstand the job of the columnist.  It is to share his opinion and analysis of what happened.  A reporter shares facts and "what the story is."

     

    Bills fans have become so sensitive to criticism over the years.  It's beyond baffling

    I don’t think you are getting it. It’s not the criticism. It’s the lack of quality takes. He very rarely exposed anything or wrote something that wasn’t self evident to the casual fan.  As another poster said, it was just another guy at the bar yapping away. 

     

    I’m happy that those Sullivan fans have a place to hear his schtick, but to say the city of Buffalo owes him an apology is the funniest thing I’ve heard in awhile.

    What's your budget? That determines everything. Personally, I would stay in East Aurora at the Roycroft, or at the Hampton Inn. Probably way too late to get either, but that is the way to go.

     

    Downtown is awesome as well, but September is major hotel season in Buffalo.

     

    Hotel Henry is one of the best places in the country.

    At the end of the day....this is our team

    Technically, it's the Pegula's team.

     

    As for the roster, this is how I see a comparison to last year's team:

     

    QB: Honestly believe Peterman or Allen are more apt to win games than Tyrod (and first-year Peterman).  Of course, the major difference is . . .

     

    OL:  Worse than last year.  No one on the squad is as good as Incognito, Groy could be a push on Wood, all others are literally the same (and not necessarily improving).  Biggest potential disaster. 

     

    WR:  On paper, I think this is a slight upgrade over last year. 

     

    RB:  Slightly better than last year. Though if Shady goes down . . .

     

    TE:  I believe they'll be better than last year overall.  More versatility.  

     

    Depth:  Possibly a push but hard to tell. 

     

    Coordinator:  Even on Daboll's worst day I think he's better than Rick Dennison.  Even geniuses can't make all bad players look good, but I think overall, Daboll will make a "D" offense into a "C- or C" offense, which could be "good enough" and likely better than last year. No real depth could also wipe out the season. 

     

     

    DL - I'd like to say significantly better than last year but I'll simply say "improved" on paper. 

     

    LB - Again, would like to say "improved" but I'll call this a push until Edwards gets better and Milano shows improvement. 

     

    DB - All the same as last year, but curious if the new corners are better than Gaines and company. 

     

    Depth: Slightly better but likely a push until proven otherwise. 

     

    Coordinator: Same. Curious to see if a true game plan will restore confidence that getting kicked around in preseason meant nothing.  

     

    Much tougher schedule, growing pains at QB, potential OL implosion so I'll go with 6-10.  Bad start and gets better as season goes on. 

    Agreed Max. Other than O-Line, which is really a major question mark, this team is better.

    I think it’s currently a FANTASTIC city! It’s walkable and has a variety of  “options”.  I started to list them all, and it got too long and deleted. If you think Nashville = country music, you're missing most of the picture. Who knew there was a Bachelorette Party Capital of the country? 

     

    I worry about traffic in coming years, but the people who don’t like it now don’t live near me in Atlanta! 

     

    We recently listed a 3BR 2 bath condo there about a mile south of Vanderbilt and Belmont (and just west of Lipscomb). I love the area so much I almost hope it takes a while to sell.  

    Bleh. Overrated 

     

    it is all country music. Please tell me the great rock clubs of Nashville, because no one in the city could point me to one within 3 miles of Broadway near the Bridgestone. 

     

    Traffic is a major problem, with no chance of getting better due to infrastructure issues, and over population. 

     

    Weather sucks in the summer. No water, unless you call that dirty river an attraction.  I guess they created some man made lakes, so you got that. 

     

    Sorry, not a fan.

    I currently live in Atlanta, but we also have a place in Nashville (Green Hills and currently listed for sale - what a deal! :)). The growth there has been CRAZY! But I still like it a lot more than Atlanta and think I always will. Traffic going forward will certainly be an issue, but it would be a GREAT place for the draft.  Bills/Titans game a few years ago was a terrific experience. 

     

    Been to Nashville too many times over the last 6 months.  If you love country, I guess it would be cool, however!!! City is growing up way too fast. No transit system, and infrastructure sucks. Suburbs are just anytown, USA. Weather is very iffy, and hot-humid as hell in the summer. Also, its the south, but Nashville born  folk are awesome.

    we never had a problem up until last spring..when you don't take notice of a massive hickory and cherry wood mix smell when you pull up..it's time to wonder.

    That's what we thought...really to bad.where do you go now?we live in south Cheektowaga..not much BBQ around.

    Fat Bob’s is an alternative. They can be inconsistent though. 

    McDermott's clapping really ticks me off

    Do you know anyone that sincerely claps after a failure and is still generally successful? I can't buy it as a genuine move. It's a pick me up tactic that I think the players would get annoyed with. Just my two cents

    Holy Crap! Yes, many a time. In sales, you must recognize a solid effort after losing a major deal, by praising the team for their effort; especially against tough competition. He is building a team. Praise in public, criticize in private. It works.
