Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Who cares what he has to say. What tradition do the Raiders have? The years keep moving along... Ken Stabler's collecting his medicare. The owner looks like a stand-in for a Weekend at Bernie's sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you disagree, take a look at Leodis, Roscoe, Lynch, Hardy, Maybin, McCargo, and Lil Donte, then ask yourself how much fear they strike in opponents. Levy/Jauron used our best resources on the sub-par players above. I will qualify this comment by saying that opponents might be a little scared of these guys if they were crossing the street, riding in a car, or attending a Mothers Day barbecue. It will take a long time to recover from those idiotic drafts and make this team strong once again, and I can't really fault the media for smirking at us until we turn things around.

Uhm, no. Take away the WNY transplants and the fan base is Claude Rains. i think the buffalo bills are a storied franchise, last decade not withstanding, why did he compare the bills with the bengals and bucs! Because few other franchises signify commitment to mediocrity, like the Buffalo Bills. Take away the fact that Mort tweeted it, and he wasn't off the mark.

When I voted hor "change," I expected him to change the direction of this franchise as well as its national perception. He has done neither. Sure, the market has done exceptionally well since he took over, he's already captured more badass terrorists than Bush, the Iraqi elections went smoothly, he pushed through a landmark healthcare bill, he's starting to make some nice treaty arrangements with traditional enemies of ours and most importantly, complete sentences are back at the White House, but this is unacceptable.

I don't see it. This is the same kind of jab as when you look at a man who is 5'8" and say to him, "You are 5'8", you know." It's just noting facts. The Raiders have how many Super Bowl wins? Three, which puts them in the top few teams. They are famous for the loony fan costumes. They have a team "feeling" that everyone knows, bad boys, hard hitters, long ball artists, Crazy Al, Ted Hendricks, Lyle Alzado having to have a lump of scar tissue the size of a grapefruit removed from his butt because of all the needle damage from steroid shots. Everyone knows what the Raiders stand for. What do we have compared to that? What are we famous for? Snow? That's not even a Bills phenomena, it's the weather. I guess you could say we're famous for shirtless fans in the snow, but so are the Packers, the Jets ..... When we win a few Super Bowls, we'll be compared to the Steelers, Raiders, and so on instead of the Bucs and Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a decade+, after Mikie took over, the B'gals were the baseline for ineptitude. Bills' fans stick with their team. People that followed CIN through their idiocy only did so to see what could possibly happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, his approval ratings, though getting higher, are still low due to an unbelievably crude yet effective right-wing fear-mongering, world-is-coming-to-an-end marketing campaign combined with the gullibility of middle Americans who don't think for themselves. In the northeast, his approval ratings are astonishingly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
