The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Do you think the reason the Bills have been getting so many blatently bad calls against us the past few years is because of lack of respect for the Pegulas? I know they're always talked about as nice people, and respected buisnesmen, and mabye even by their fellow owners they are. But from a competetive level, look what was happening when they took over the Bills. One of the most obvious tank jobs in sports history was in full operation. What kind of a message does that send to the NFL? Don't get me wrong, I love Eichel, and was pro tank, but not everybody views it that way. But others look at it as a lack of integrity for the game, or for sports in general. And every sports official, at least the respectable ones (who are admittedly few and far between now a days), is all about integrity and upholding that integrity. When that's whats going on in the Pegula Sports and Entertainment company as a whole, no wonder refs have no respect for us. Just a thought.

TheFunPolice Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Andrew Luck to the Colts was a total tank job, and they got lucky to suck in the exact right year. Think about it: their logo is a horseshoe and their QB's name is Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Look across the field to the other sideline last night and tell me what level of integrity you see? They cheated yes. And I hate them for it. But the lowest possible form of lack of integrity, in a lot of eyes atleast, is intentially losing. Why do you think guys like Pete Rose, or the 1919 White Sox are still bared from the Hall of fame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Each of the 31 other NFL owners instantly, and for no reason, had their franchises worth approximately $300-400m more than it had been worth solely because the Pegulas decided to overpay for the Bills that much. I'm sure they hate the Pegulas for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I believe anything it's that Kraft tells his lapdog Dean Blandino to ride the Bills hard to let Terry & Kim know who really runs the league.

Owners, GMs, Anylists, Even some coaches and players, approved. But from the view of a sports official, who's job is to keep the game clean, that's one of the worst things you can do, no matter how it helps your team in the long run.

Joeziehmer Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The Pegula's have re-evaulated talent and restructured contracts to one year. Among that being Mario and Kyle Williams. Which also included a talent agency reviewing the front office. Got a feeling Buffalo will come up a theme of like the job, not getting it done, oh, that's okay hang with the Browns and we get draft picks.
