By definition his job as an expert is to "analyze", not to decline to comment when asked a question. But you're right, I must be an idiot for thinking it was a jackass comment. I'll just be quiet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It was pretty apparent (to me) that his body language combined with his statement showed he's very defensive on the subject of the Bills. I suspect he's been getting a lot of flak aimed at him from WNY and he doesn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 First off what a unnecessarily dickish way to make a comment. Hey if you think that the Bills aren't going to be good say why and give a good analysis its your opinion you are entitled to it but you should have some sort of professionalism.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Looks like he's right. But our 4th stringers look better than Wasnhington's. Hell, maybe all these guys should be the starters. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened? Why did he do this? Probably because he catches all types of venom for what he says about the Bills because it is never what we want to hear. Then they play and unfortunately we can't say he's wrong. Like he said, we'll see what type of team we have. Hopefully they will be at least decent.

Miguel044 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Faulk has not been wrong yet on his opinion of the Bills. I am pretty sure if there was something he liked about the Bills he would say that as well (he won't comment on punters and kickers). Get used to it Bills fans ... we are in for a long year(s).

Red Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 He made some comments last year or the year before which resulted in Bills fans bitching to him. It really does not make any difference what anyone says or writes at this point. We have to earn respect on the field. And that, ultimately, says it all. I agree that he does appear to be an absolute moron, and am not sure why the NFL network would be so desperate to hire him. He does have a responsibility to EARN his paycheck, and that includes providing something tangible to go off of. For instance, as mentioned here, if he dislikes the Bills so much, then explain your point of view. Pontificate. Expand on those ideas. Fill the 30 seconds with something of value. But, they were on the Bengals case for a long time, too. Everybody laughed at the 'Bungles'. Now, our record is not as bad as theirs was, but we have achieved about the same amount in the past decade as they did. Maybe it's our turn. Atleast until we have something to turn the tide.

Jon in Pasadena Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 He thinks Buffalo is a second rate football organization. Wow, I missed how we got to be second-rate.
