    Again, don't say what "we" would do unless you have a frog in your pocket and that who you are referring to as "we".

     

    If Von was at 20 sacks right now and this dropped I would feel the same way. See, some people value humility and empathy way more over watching other men win a trophy. Some things are more important than football. And if that not how it is for you, I'm sorry you're empty inside. 

     

    "Cut him, hes just the punter."

     

    This was THE talking point with regard to the Araiza situation among the majority of Bills Mafia, uttered by fans everywhere, by WGR hosts and even by some prominient Twitter personalities who like to profess that women's rights is one of their priorities. 

     

    People want to pretend stature on the team doesnt matter. But it does and Bills Mafia, with all its self-righeousness, proved that last Spring every time they uttered that phrase. "Hes just the punter."  WHO the player is matters a lot. Like it or not.

    Honestly I don’t think this is true at all. Maybe a few dipshits here, but the vast majority would want him released if he’s guilty. 

     

    Im not so sure about that. Remember...rationale from the VAST majority of Bills Mafia AND a lot of well-known popular Bills pundits with regard to cutting Araiza was "hes just a punter."  Based on that statement, a lot of Bills Mafia is very comfortable having a very big criterion determining whether to cut a player for bad behavior is what his production/contribution is to the team on the field.

    The better we perform in the short term, the more likely we will maintain the status quo in the long term. I don't see any way that isn't the case. It was already a long shot that we would part ways with McDermott after this year. It was going to take an implosion on the trajectory of what we had seen prior to Dorsey being canned. If they turn it around and threaten the playoffs it's not going to happen. 

     

    Do some of you feel strongly enough about McDermott to actual want this thing to implode for the greater good? Do some of you feel if we can somehow get back on track to make the playoffs that it would alter your view on him as the coach next year? Curious what the outlook is on this. 

     

    This is the type of mindset that drives me nuts. We need to tank to get the HC fired. For who?  WHO KNOWS! But ANYBODY has to be better, right? Right.  I mean...IF IF IF Andy Reid or Vince Lombardi was sitting out there waiting for a HC job, then at least I could wrap my head around this thought process. But....hes not. So please stop.

     

    I read a comment on Twitter...X...whatever...last week that...get this....even if the Bills WIN THE SUPER BOWL they should fire McDermott. Some of you need to go outside more.

    So if you can’t see how grounded and embarrassed that Josh Allen is after Dorsey getting fired.Even with tge turn overs I still think Josh is a elite and our once in a lifetime quarterback.The team rose with him and will eventually get a superbowl with him.Look at the whole team and who clearly is the best on it? it is Josh hands down.As great as Diggs is he is the one pouting and having public outburst’s.Three games this year Allen in the last few minutes went to the sidelines with a hard fought lead and watched the defense blow a game on weird sequences.Never once did Josh say “well I left with a lead and wedid our job”.Through this slump and bad play,even some his Josh has shown he is a true leader and Buffalo should be happy he is a Buffalo Bill…

     

    GO BILLS!!!!

     

    Grounded and embarrassed? To me, he looked aloof and dissinterested. Hat down over glazed eyes, snickering at some of the questions. Something isnt "right" with him.

    The negative WGR narratives are a bit tiresome.  All in all both morning show and afternoon do a good job.  I agree with some of what is said and disagree with some of what is said.  That's good radio.

     

    I think many fans feel if they host doesnt agree with their point 100% that they are bad at their job.

     

    Is WGR perfect?  No.  But waaaaay better than some would have you believe.

     

    This. Overall, WGR is good, even if they can be homerish, as I laid out in another post. Down here in NYC area, the "gold standard" of sports radio, WFAN has become a convoluted mess of Howard Stern/Mad Dog Russo wannabes who justy spit out ridiculous "hot takes" and yell all day long like banshees. Its "sports shock radio" and its gross. At least on WGR there are adults on the air.

  6. I do like Sal a lot but like virtually ALL Buffalo media types, they are way too friendly with the teams they cover and that comes out on the air and in print. Even this AM, one caller asked Sal why the media doesnt push back on McD or ask for more info on his answers and Sal got VERY upset at that. And this is definitely true. Someone will ask McD a question, get some sort of vaugue nonanswer and there is NEVER any pushback or follow up question. Ever. Just a meek "ok" from the person asking the question. And the few that do ask more pointed questions...including a few that visit this board from time to time...lets just say they dont seem to hold "favored" status with PSE, at least as far as I can tell.

     

    Contrast that to what you see here. You may not love Russo and Francesa, but this interview where MMD went after the Met's owner and GM was done on the Mets' flagship radio station at the time! Would you ever see this sort of pushback from any member of WNY sports media on a player, a coach or even an an owner? No way. Too many special dinners and golf outings to get invited to at for this sort of thing to happen!

  7. Down here on Long Island, I got strangers seeing my flag and coming up to me while Im mowing the lawn and going "yo, whats up with your team?" I admit I call for this a lot...as lets just say I make it pretty clear to anyone who will listen (and many who wont) which football team I love. But....still. 

     

    And the catastrophes ALWAYS happen on national TV games. ALWAYS. Its so painful.

  8. On behalf of all Mets fans...Garret Stubbs and the rest of the Red Tide,or Red Army or Hunt for Red Submarine, or whatever their fans call themselves, can goooooooooo pound it.  Im sure Gugny agrees.

     

    With that out of my system...both Championship Series were good. Phillies have a good cohesive team, overall.  But thats a brutal loss. Harper in that spot late with two runners on...cant miss there.

    If the Bills Don’t Make it to the AFCCG, Should McDermott Be Fired?

     

    I’m not in the Super Bowl or Bust crowd, but I am frustrated with what feels like Josh Allen’s prime years being wasted. 
     

    The question posed is assuming Allen starts/plays every game this season. 
     

    My vote is yes. 

     

    My answer is "depends." How did they "not get there?" Did they play in the Divisional and play a tough-hard fought game and just lost? Then no. Or...do they show up unprepared with this ragtag no identity offense still misfiring and get outcoached? Then probably yes or it should at least be discussed if a move is necessary. 

  10. Living in the NYC area, I can say that WGR is about a billion times better than WFAN. That used to not be the case, of course. But these days, the full lineup is full of unqiue personalities who all know their stuff, unlike WFAN, which is full of Mad Dog/Stern wannabes. 

     

    My only overall gripe with WGR is that most of the hosts seem to make it a point to constantly brag about how awesome their jobs are. We all get it...youre all awesome and go to all the games and all the events and all the dinners and insider parties and all the rest of us are just working class slobs.

    Daboll is the cool coach that is your friend.

     

     

    Right now hes MUCH more in Rex Ryan territory...also a good coordinator who was a lousy HC....than he is Bill Parcells.  Parcells was also a yeller..and he gave Phil Simms hell all the time. But it was measured. Contrast that with Daboll's CONSTANT histrionics and ranting and arm-waving and eye-rolling like a child.  Plus dressing down his team in public like he always does, which will not help him win loyalty in the locker room, is a clown show. 

  12. On Sunday night, Muki Hawkins was part of a Twitter space, which he does often, and strongly implied that it was attitude based. He wouldnt say, becuase he cant violate privacy as someone who has lockerroom access, but he basically said "read between the lines."

     

    Take that for what you will......

    Talked with Jay a little bit about it this weekend.  Maybe go old school like we did in the beginning.  Get a 10x20 tent, I can bring out the big banner, check people in, name tags, maybe some raffles.

     

    Talked with Guff about The Warehouse near his hotel, that sounds like a cool restaurant for Saturday night.  

     

    I like the Warehouse. Its close to the Stadium, its big, nice bar, food is pretty good, usually some live music and theres an arcade with games and stuff. It definitely checks the boxes.

    No! That is not what the law suit says.

     

    The lawsuit says that on a Zoom call Trotter heard a reporter say that Pegula had said those things.

     

    Trotter never heard Terry say anything to that effect. 

     

    He is insisting it is a fact that Terry said those things because someone else told him so.

     

    And the lawsuit goes on to claim it was swept under the rug because the NFL never interviewed Trotter in the investigation...

     

    Why would anything Trotter have to say have any bearing on the truth of what Terry did or didn't say? He wasn't there to hear anything.

     

     

     

     

     

    OK, then pull the statement about him doing it on a Zoom call out. Still doesnt wash for me. The claim is just counter to EVERYTHING with regard to Pegula's track record on this issue. 

     

    Appreciate the clarification.

  15. Money talks...BS Walks. And everything in the Buffalo Bills' body of work with regard to social justice initiatives and what they did as an organization after the Topps tragedy has been outstanding under current ownership. So with that in the backdrop Im to beleive that a mainly soft spoken Pegula...the guy who shed tears when mentioning the Topps victims just a few months ago...would just blurt something like this out? And on a companywide Zoom call to boot? Yeah...put me in the "skeptical" column on this claim.

  16. Thanks to all three of you for your answers. They all helped. I'm going to look for a brace that is particularly for this, and wear that more. I just have some old generic ones in the drawer that I wore when playing hoops (my knee used to dislocate, which I'm sure is totally tied into this).

     

    Just doing some stretching of the hamstrings, etc. has helped the last few days.

     

    John - you're saying the PT actually did help your son, then?............When this first cropped up, I went to Dr. Marzo (the Bills ortho that you see on the field during injuries). Great guy. Told me stay away from people like him (meaning don't even think about surgery). PT will fix this thing...........But, then I go to PT and the guy was like man, these suck - you can't fix these!

    Your therapist is correct...they are hard to figure out. But a good PT is supposed to encourage healing and tell you youre gonna be OK, NOT tell you its hopeless! Id find a new PT!!!!!
