Jerry tells the stone hard facts about the Bills, which I like. But Shawne Merriman is back.

I mean almost 100 percent back. Think Buddy did good on this gamble.

 

Evans trade pissed me off to but lets see what we have in the young guys because Fitz is clearly gonna throw the rock, at least give them a shot at making plays.

 

Oline is what we expect it would be but least see how Chan cover for them in the playcalling department, most plays will be quick throws if we do pass.

 

The Bills will win more than 6 games. Nobody stay healthy all season in the league anyway. Lets see how lucky we are this season.

Probably because too many people are still too busy reading Sully's pieces to actually pay attention to what's going on. It's easier that way. No need to think.

 

 

Who ees thees "Heinz Ward"? And why did they name their stadium after him?

 

Sorry, I used the spelling from the poster I was replying to. Please forgive me.

This roster is a crumbling monument to neglect and bad personnel moves. A decade of weak drafts and frugal ownership has left the Bills with a roster that’s sorely lacking in established players in their professional primes. The Bills have very little to show for their drafts in the mid-2000s.

 

Lee Evans was the last of the ’04 class to go (George Wilson was undrafted). Roscoe Parrish is the only player left from ’05, Kyle Williams the last man standing from ’06. The entire ’07 draft class has departed. It’s close to a lost generation of young talent.

 

Four position players on this roster have started 30 games in a Buffalo uniform. Kelsay has stared 104, McGee 84, Williams 73. Then it drops down to that grizzled old vet, Andy Levitre, with 32. People talk about the Bills rebuilding. You can’t rebuild something that wasn’t constructed in the first place.

Does sullivan ever post anything that isn't a whiny little rant? Does he wake up in the morning, pull the 2x4 out of his butt, and decide what negative slant he'll take for the day?

 

His schtick gets old. There are also a few positive and encouraging things to write about regarding the Bills, and maybe once or twice a year he could step out of his comfort zone and actually become objective. Maybe that is too much to ask from a professional hack, but I don't think so. Maybe an article on our draft picks this year, or an article on Stevie Johnson, or maybe even some of the younger promising players.

 

I guess it is easier to whine.

The team has SUCKED for the better part of a decade. Why is it a surprise that Sully has been writing similar columns over that same time period? What exactly do you want him to write?

Stop writing the same crap over n over n over. Maybe he needs a new city, prefer one he isn't known in. He would be run out of town otherwise!

Isn't when you rebuild a team you rebuild one that sucks? I am sorry but during a rebuilding you gut the old parts that have no use. I think that the philsophy Nix has employed is a good one even if he made some moves I don't agree with all the moves he has made(Cutting Handy, drafting Spiller, and trading Lee for a 4th). There is a lot of roster turnover in the NFL get over it.

 

This is all just a matter of semantics. The point Sullivan made with the rebuilding statement was that the previous regimes were supposed to rebuild the team, but they failed miserably. Now Nix is left to rebuild with no foundation at all. A bit of an exaggeration? Sure, but I really can't see any fault in that idea.

I don't agree with the Evans trade, however Ochocinco was traded for a 5th and a 7th. That set the market, don't you think?

 

You don't "rebuild" by trading a top WR for a 4th round draft pick, and by cutting an average OL when you lack depth at that position, particularly when you have no viable backup. Explain to me how Nix is "building." This is more of the same old Cheap Ralph, and I bet you were saying "give it more time" when jauron was coaching.

Sully is what happens when the people that are supposed to cover the team have no access. Seriously, he is the most negative !@#$ around. He has not real insight, only refried ****.

 

The other issue with Sully is that he's been around so long, that others in the area look to him as an inspiration. Schopp is a good example. He has Sully on and they get all snarky together, and trash the Bills. This is why there will never be a change in he media, and the fans that read/listen to their ****. If you are smart enough to think for yourself, you don't need Jerry or anybody else to tell you it's been a rough going.

 

If this team starts to turn it around, Sully will be hoping for them to screw up, because that is where he gets his enjoyment. He is a negative prick, and he wants everybody else to be a negative prick.

 

To be "doom and gloom" about your football team has nothing to do with being a realist. I know that hurts a few asses around here, but it is the fact. It is crazy to think that being a negative, miserable prick over a game makes you some sort of realist. This is a game for entertainment, and if you can't enjoy it, then you should stop watching. People like Sully at least get paid for their reaction, which is unbelievable, because if I owned the Buffalo News, I want a guy that doesn't offend everybody he talks to. I would like some analysis that I couldn't predict every !@#$ing week. I would want a guy that I would be proud to have sit in an interview with coaches, players, owners etc, not some pencil dick who screams at the starting goalie of my hockey team after a demoralizing loss, and can't understand that was a dickhead move....not some guy that the Bills might as well not even allow on the property.

 

Sully is looking for shock and awe, because he has nothing else.

People of Buffalo:

 

Round up as many copies of this article as you can.

 

Cut them out of the paper.

 

Find out where Sullivan lives.

 

Sunday, after we beat the Chiefs, visit him home in the middle of the night.

 

Then cover--and I do mean cover--every inch of his car with his own words.

 

That'll be a nice surprise for him on Monday morning.

 

 

And vandalize McKelvin's lawn too just for opening day old time's sake

Now that, I can agree with.

 

But it's still old news. I dont need Sully to tell me where Ive been. That's just easy, lazy, and cowardly. Unless he wants to close with "So to be fair to Nix, he probably needs a few years to build that foundation, and has been making moves to do so". But we'll never get anything like that from Sully.

Fixed...and the BN's owned by one of the richest men in the world.

 

There's fifty-seven media outlets and nothin' on....

Don't forget while The Snooze is forcing many of its reporters and columnists to take early retirement, they gave Sully a raise.

Now that, I can agree with.

You tend to be far more level headed in these kind of threads, so I'll ask you specifically. Do you even read his stuff anymore? If so, why? I will never understand why people complain about him and the radio guys so much yet continue to read/listen. Then there are the others who clearly don't read/listen but complain anyway.

That's right. Sully is an idiot. Everything has been going well the past decade. They have made all the right draft picks, acquired the right FA's, and spent to the cap in an attempt to put forth a winning team that has gone to multiple Super Bowls and won two. Oh wait, sorry, I was talking about the Steelers and what a winning team does. I guess Sully might be rigth after all. How anyone with a sane mind can defend what the Bills do is laughable. Did the Steelers trade Heinz Ward because he was "holding back the development" of Sanders and Brown. No, they kept him around because he still has value, is relatively inexpensive, and can help the young guys out. The trade of Evans was a money-saving joke, just as cutting Handgardner was.

 

Evans didn't fit our system. Look at his stats! He did his time hear n now will play for a legitimate contender,,,, no hard feelings.

 

Hang man was doo doo, n i mean that in the nicest way possible. He was light and got pushed around. He was a very weak link in a bad O-line.

 

Sully is a huge D-bag, n i wont say anything else that hasn't already been said about this girl!
