Got_Wood Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Of course it's why we are 2-9. We don't have the right players to make the right plays at the right times. Stevie, Fitz, etc are all good in their own rights, but they all stumble when it matters. Hopefully one of these years, we get the right guys. Probably won't happen for another 10 years at least. That is, if the Bills continue to exist. Young guys who should get better every year. I see Stevie being our go-to guy for years to come as long as he can stay away from being an Ochocinco/TO "look at me" type of player, and try and be more of a Andre Reed/Jerry Rice work ethic type of player.

I sincerely hope so. But as it is right now, no one on our team seems to have any clutch. We always screw up when the game is on the line. You don't lose 4 games by 12 points by chance.

Mr. WEO Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 God is goat. He's really been getting way too much credit for the success of these pro athletes for decades and rarely gets the blame for blowing it. Lets face it. God put the ball in Fitzpatrick's hands. God called the right play (clever of Him IMO to just use one WR and use play action). God made a perfect pass. And with the game in God's hands, God dropped the ball. End of story. I agree. On this one, Allah not so ahkbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Are you kidding? The media is going to try to do whatever they can to make a story bigger than it is. It's just what they do. Not sure who asked the question at the press conference yesterday, but they seemed to be trying to make some drama out of Stevie not paying attention to the game after his drop. The only thing I can guess is that they wanted to say that all he cared about was himself and gave up on the team after the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) I love the fact, that even though God doesn't seem to have much regard to little children dying in all manner of horrific ways, how many people think God cares about whether someone catches a football or not- or a million other trivial little things. I also love it, equally, how religious people never complain when athletes praise god, after a big win, or big play...that should be equaull offensive to them, no?

bklnpete Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I agree with you. It's a large impressionable audience that gets caught up in events like this. ESPN is owned by Disney, one of the largest corporations in the world. They know what generates a buzz and what doesn't. Try Googling "steve johnson god" and see what comes up first. Fox News, TMZ, etc. I can't stand the media. Bloodthirsty, schadenfreude, greedy, money hungry... all of the above. This accurately explains "What's up with the media?" ESPN was already on it's way out of being a great sports network over a decade ago. If I want to see 20 minutes (out of a one hour broadcast) devoted to the The Favre Chronicles, or LeBron mania I'll tune in, otherwise it's print/web media for my sports news. Stevie is young. Hopefully he matures both in his faith and on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean even though it is one of if not the most successful and profitable networks in the history of broadcasting, and while other networks are scrambling to adapt to a new media it is still as popular if not more so than ever? And I don't hardly ever watch ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Shadenfreude. They can't get enough of it. They build you up just to tear you down. PTR They built Stevie up?? I thought he did that himself last week. I don't understand this thread. Everyone was so excited to read about him and see him on TV last week. Why "blame the media"? No one would have put him on their covers if he hadn't had a juvenile twitter breakdown after a tough game. Didn't see Peyton Manning doing that stupid sh**t after his stinkbomb last night (or last week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever Since '86 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm not too fond of religion but I can't bag on a player who was truly upset about letting his teammates down and expressed it to an imaginary man in grief... the whole thing creeps me out when something so simple becomes a national media frenzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All studios and TV networks market flaming turd shows and flaming turd movies every single day. 99% of America completely ignores the vast majority of them, and jump all over a few of them. Not to mention that Disney bought ABC just so they could have the real prize, which was ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
