BuffOrange Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 So, now that we're in the third consecutive year of Rex Ryan's proclamations the Jets "will" win the Super Bowl, what's the story here? WGR is not a NYC station. Francessa is a good voice if you want to listen to someone blasting Ryan for running his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Whether or not you think Gailey is smoking a sh@t load of crack for saying he expects to win and expects to make the playoffs, I'd rather have that kind of coach compared to Skeletor, who wanted to be the players BFF and hoped to win. "It's hard to win in the NFL", Dickie J should have been fired on the spot for that comment. Exactly. Attitude is not everything but it is important. And it starts with the HC. Everybody knows how hard it is to win in the NFL. The HC needn't remind everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I would be shocked if Gailey did not make that statement. What he actually thinks probably only he (and maybe Buddy) knows. I have to say he does a pretty good job on the "lead the charge" commercials we were bombarded with this preseason though.

Everybody knows how hard it is to win in the NFL. The HC needn't remind everyone. Players will take on the personality of their leader. I love this attitude and I hope it trickles down to the backup waterboy. Expect to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Francessa is a good voice if you want to listen to someone running his mouth. Yes, that too. I can't listen to nonstop baseball talk between Feb-Aug but his football analysis is pretty sound imo. Sports radio I guess is like pizza toppings - nobody ever agrees on who is passable. I like how Schopp calls out these stupid cliches and group-think coaches. People here like Howard Simon and I just don't get it. He went on the air a couple years ago after a GB-Min MNF game and said "ya know i changed my mind, our qb sucks, Rodgers proved you can make plays without great protection". I mean really Howard - you're just figuring this out - was that the first non-Bills nfl game you've ever watched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Syracuse Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If you're a professional athlete you had damn well be preparing to win every week and believing you will win ever week.

rpcolosi Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 WGR has been hating on the bills ever since 97 rock got teh Bills games. lets not pretend their management looks at this as anyhting but pushing fans more towards the sabres, and less towards their moneymaker. just don't listen to them so they go out of business already and we get ESPN toronto to move in or something like that.

DaveinElma Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I remember when Schopp used to kill the Bills for taking on the milquetoast personality of Dick Jauron. Is it any surprise that under Jauron the Bills lost all those heartbreakers where they got in a position to win the game only to let it get away from them?

todd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 As much as he would try, Schlep can never compete with "Coach" Dickerson for being a loudmouth asswipe buffoon. He comes close, though. WGR is really ripping him. Schopp is saying he needs to get a brain in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have it on strong authority that before he spoke to the press, Gailey had a closed-door meeting with Overdorf during which he was told to predict an undefeated season. He was then told to end his comments with, "and we need YOU to help lead the charge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 He doesn't expect to make the playoffs, that's just coach speak B.S. And if he really DOES mean it, then we're really in trouble because dude isn't too bright. Stop bs'ing us Chan, and just call a smart game: please.

mattsox Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Praise the baby jesus he's not saying "it's hard to win in the NFL." Wait till week 8 I have it on strong authority that before he spoke to the press, Gailey had a closed-door meeting with Overdorf during which he was told to predict an undefeated season. He was then told to end his comments with, "and we need YOU to help lead the charge." Was Russ Brandon In this meeting as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Syracuse Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) The best thing to do is not to listen, and tell the Program Director why you no longer listen. Actually, if you want change at WGR calling their program director will just reinforce that you're listening. If you want to make a difference, start calling the companies that advertise on WGR and tell them you won't buy their products or services because of WGR. I promise that if a few thousand people do that, WGR will change their message dramatically. Edited September 7, 2011 by Mike in Syracuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I turned schopp and bulldog off about midway through training camp. I haven't missed a beat. Those two are uninterested in covering the Bills/NFL. I get the feeling that they are spiteful towards the extent to which they have to cover the Bills this time of year. They have an obvious bias towards hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
