BillsGuru4 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hello all, I'm a long time reader of tbd and used to write posts but my password got messed up and I just decided to stick to reading all of your posts everyday for the last 10 years or so. I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before but I just wanted everyone to know that our upper management definitely knows about our favorite site. I am from Pittsford and my favorite time of year is training camp because the players are always out at the local bars. From Bledsoe almost spitting dip on my foot, to having drinks with Aaron schobel to Jp losman asking me why no girls hit on him, I've seen a lot of them around. Lawyer Malloy drove the biggest truck I've ever seen, with full size lcd tv's in it. Last summer dw and rb were out a fair amount, they love to have fun, so I offered them a shot of crown and they accepted. That bought me a little conversation time so I told them how happy I was with the direction of the team and asked them if they knew about tbd and both immediately said oh yeah. I thought that was very cool and just wanted to share. Ps. If we sign clay and harvin I will be the happiest fan ever. Draft the monster guard from duke in the second and we are well on our way. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks for sharing!   I'm sure they both know about it but I'm not sure they actually read it  CBF Edited March 11, 2015 by Canadian Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuru4 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm not saying dw looks at tbd all the time, but he seems like the type of guy that genuinely cares about the fans and what they think. He seemed like a normal down to earth guy that just wanted to have fun. Funny thing, he was never once seen out with marone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm sure they don't read it personally but I would imagine there's a reason to ask their staff to get a pulse on what fans are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised.... Â I am not saying that they come here for ideas but they know what is being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would never read a message board if I was connected to a NFL team. Â Thanks for sharing. The most disturbing part is Losman couldn't get chicks. I would have given up on him way sooner if I knew this. Qbs should kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think if I had 4000 customers [and that's what we really are] commenting on my job performance with each other I'd definitely want to look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I know for a fact the Sabres do scout some of the online message boards and comments. It is a free market research focus group. Not sure if big wigs sit back and read everything... but someone does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they freak out after every day and want you fired? Hopefully Whaley is listening to all of my brilliant ideas because the rest of you clowns don't know what you are talking about I like to think he saw my thoughts on Marrone and Orton and encouraged them to both leave.

ChasBB Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not saying front office should be making decisions based on what they read on TBD, but at the same time I believe it's important for management to get a general "pulse" of where the fans are at. And they are only human - many fans come up with some excellent ideas that may not have been considered (if 2 heads are better than 1, then tens of thousands of heads has to amount to something). So, in the end, they have to remain detached to a degree, but would be doing themselves a dis-service if they didn't stop in here every now & then. They are only human, too.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In a way I can see someone reading this site and treating it like an approval poll   CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) of course whaley reads tbd -- he fits perfectly into the demographic profile: Â 1. spends an unhealthy amount of time thinking about the bills. 2. spends the rest of his time downloading porn.

metzelaars_lives Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I hope EJ Manuel hasn't read my posts from the last month or so. Then again, maybe it would give him a little extra motivation to shock most of us and win the starting job from Cassel. of course whaley reads tbd -- he fits perfectly into the demographic profile: Â 1. spends an unhealthy amount of time thinking about the bills. 2. spends the rest of his time downloading porn. Who downloads porn? It's 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yes, get Tomlinson, the guard from Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think this is why the poster named "Roger Goodell" is really an NFL intern who is paid (or not) to monitor the site. Â Because the "Roger Goodell" posts always sound like newspeak, without any snark. Â (only your hairdresser, or SDS, knows for sure).

FireChan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Then why have they not consulted Fire Chan about the salary cap A real question is why has Mario not been restructured yet? He must be off hunting and they keep getting his voicemail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
