Malazan Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'd take you more seriously, mpl, if you just didn't seem like you were sad and depressed about non-football related things and wanted everyone to feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I just want to make sure you don't forget what I have been saying. In case you do, I'll remind you around mid season. This is a message board. A place where optimists and pessimists (seemingly a majority) can co-exist. In fact, they should well be able to feed off each other. Makes for a healthy exchange of ideas and opinions. But I am curious as to why you think anyone will really give a crap what you said now by mid season. Even if you are right by mid-season, there won't be any Nobel prizes waiting for you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 You're free to do whatever you want. I'm optimist in all phases of my life. I don't understand whining about a season that has yet to be played in June. I love the Bills and when I come on here, I'd rather not spend my time looking at woe is me and the Bills are the worst team ever posts. It's like if a girl dumps you. Personally, I would put away all the stuff that reminds me of her and jsut do my best to move on with someone else. The people who come on here to just talk about how bad the Bills are strike me as the type to see in their rooms, stare at pictures of their ex, and cry. IF I thought the team was as miserable as some of you, I won't waste my time. But if that's your thing more power to you. But I won't bother reading it.

DrDawkinstein Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks, I would like to thank you and most everyone else for being thoughtful, professional, and curtious listeners. Just wanted to have most all my thoughts on one posting. After about week 8, I will refer this Special Posting to so many of my fans here. Another favorite quote of mine " He who laughs last laughs the loudest." this thread, and this post, show exactly what you are. more interested in being "right" than you are with the team being successful. i have never done this in all my years of posting here, but welcome to the ignore list.

Even if you are right by mid-season, there won't be any Nobel prizes waiting for you..... there are a lot of people all over the internet who post in such ways. 99% do so because they lead such pitiful lives in real life, that this might be the only vindication theyll ever receive. it's the safe & easy stance to take, and then they get to throw it in everyone's face come week 8 while sitting at home jerking off and crying in a corner.

DrDawkinstein Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 ill also say that i have no problem with a rational level of pessimism. it's good for discussion, and as a Bills fan, completely understood but to go through all this work, and then add that you've done it just so you can point out how right you were 6 months from now, is being a true prick.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Oh the irony of this topic! The pessimists are heard constantly. What's changed is that not everyone is pessimistic like them. So they get a victim complex because people don't agree with them. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were heard and like mommy and daddy, no one cared. We'd rather be fans and enjoy the Bills, win or lose, then constantly gripe about all the negatives.

Sisyphean Bills Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 It's an open forum for talking about a GAME so there really is no logical reason to rant against other opinions. It's foolish on your part, and you are not alone. Ah, but starting these "we vs. us" board fights does serve as good distraction from debate and discussions of the game.

McBeane Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Why shouldn't we have our separate little forum? Offense (1) No new QB - this core is one of the worst in the NFL. Front office response draft Levi Jones and stick with what we have..... No Clausen, No Mcnabb, No Tebow, No McCoy, No Campbell. Clearly, the opportunites were there to "upgrade" the position. (2) Weak offensive line with a medicore center, unproven and inexperienced left tackle, and a medicore RT. Front office response Draft Wang and stick with who we have. Basically, we are starting the same OL we had as last year with the exception of RT. Which by the way Butler was/is better than Green. The OL wasn't good last year and I don't think it will be much better this year. Perhaps, slightly better but that's still not very good. (3) Very weak wide recievers. Besides Lee Evans who else do we have? A bunch of let's hope and see. I'll be watching... Front office response draft Easley a "raw" one year wonder out of UCONN. (4) Not a believer that Coach Galiey is some magican who can wave his magic wand and make this offense productive. A coach still needs to have the players.... (5) Will we ever have a receiving TE who can split the seam of the defense downfield? I was hoping Nelson could be that guy but who knows...All the other TE are big bodied guys with no vertical threat. Offensive Summary How the hell are the Bills going to win games with that many offensive holes, issues and lack of personell? Teams will "stack the box" and squat on the short routes thus taking away our running game. Force the Bills to beat them deep which hasn't happened in years and I don't see it happening anytime soon. Defense (1) I love the switch to the 3-4. Coach Edwards has his hands full. Lots and lots of adjustments and learning to do. NFL facts show that this transition takes time and we will be no different. Good front office move with growing pains.. (2) Who is going to rush the QB? Schobel is gone and he is our best pass rusher. Even with him, our pass rush sucked. I don't know how we are going to pressure the QB. I am not sold on Maybin or anyone else on our roster? Front office response ??????? (3) How are we going to stop the run? We haven't been able to stop the run for years. One of the wrost in the NFL for the last 2-3 years and counting. Front office response draft Troup with the second pick. What were they thinking?????They could have drafted this guys in the 4th, 5th or 6th round. This guy is light in the ass (315) and will take time to develop. Fills a need but he will do little this year and we reached for him. Mt Cody and Cam Thomas were still on the board too. Defensive Summary Teams will continue to run on us because the pieces still aren't in place to stop the run. A work in progress Teams will be able to pass on us due to the lack of pass rush. Our Linebackers will face passing mismatches that teams will exploit. Our secondary is very good but they can't hold of the recievers forever. Overall summary This year is going to be ugly. At best 6 wins but more likely 4-5 wins. At worst 3 wins. Of course there will be key injuries to players that make us less effective. It is just part of football and many fans don't take this into consideration. JUST ONE GUYS SUBJECTIVE BREAKDOWN....... NEVERTHELES, A BILLS FAN FOR LIFE! Dude, you (among MANY others) infiltrate every thread on this board with all this garbage. I think you guys are well spoken for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
