DC Tom Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I don't understand the animosity toward the piece the guy wrote. It is CLEARLY an opinion piece. Because it's a ****ty opinion. Not because I disagree with it. Because it it basically calls the Pegulas incompetent for the decisions of other people, and suggests the solution of having people other than the Pegulas make those decisions, which is utterly nonsensical.

USABuffaloFan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I understand the sentiment, Pegula initially really screwed up with Reiger. They are however on the right path, get a really good goaltender and this team is in the playoffs, 8th seed not hard to get too. One more good draft and this team is refreshed with another high 1st pick that might play right away. Eichel will be a beast once his body fills in. Reinhart, Ristolelin and O'Reilly are already the stars. Now the Bills are a different story, they can get a top 3 pick when they decide to tank. Just cut everyone and field a bad team if you know your going nowhere. On the right year that gets you 10 years with a franchise QB. BUT the Bills are not that bad! TT needs to find the middle of the field, maybe his height is too big a problem. If he can move and find the throwing lanes then step up and throw we have a shot. He can hit the side line play and throw deep! Bills need to use McCoy on play action and screens more, he has to have 2000 total yards to be a center piece. Need a real #2 WR. Defense has to be a top 10 type defense. All doable! Thought we could do that this year. I will see where this leads and make my NFL package decision around Labor Day next year, either that or I might be buying Panthers gear, LOL!

PromoTheRobot Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Don't know and don't care about the Sabres, but when it comes to the Bills, Pegs is relying on a used car salesman who knows nothing about football, a junior GM/glorified scout, and Rex f'n Ryan. He's absolutely over his head right now, and that's why he needs a czar/consultant to take a serious look at the organization. That's too bad because you are looking at the world through a paper towel tube if you ignore what is happening with the Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 F**k it. I'll take it!!!!! damn straight you will! so will I! it could be worse.. it could go wide right.. now that would be a tough way to go out, but at least we wouldn't have to watch it over and over and over... 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Bucky Gleason is, and always has been, an idiot. He has had it in for Pegula ever since Terry dared criticize the poor reporting presented by TBN on literally his first day as owner if the Sabres. Gleason has nothing to add. He is even worse at his job than Sullivan, although it is hard to believe that is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Read the article, bitchers. He's saying they need a football guy in charge...and they DO! Actually, I don't mind most of the article. I don't necessarily agree with his recommendations but I'm okay with differing opinions. There's really only remark that's bothersome: 'the Pegulas are in over their heads' as owners of a NFL franchise. I think he's wrong. I think he fails to back the statement up. I think it's absurd even to suggest it after one season of ownership. And I think it's an unnecessarily offensive statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Because it's a ****ty opinion. Not because I disagree with it. Because it it basically calls the Pegulas incompetent for the decisions of other people, and suggests the solution of having people other than the Pegulas make those decisions, which is utterly nonsensical. and very rude, considering what Pegulas have committed to Buffalo, the city. why offend and antagonize. Is there an Election going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 That's too bad because you are looking at the world through a paper towel tube if you ignore what is happening with the Sabres.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I despise bucky. I think he is a low life scumbag taking cheap shots from his ivory tower. Screw him and the buffalo news. He really rubbed me the wrong way with a lot of his sabres articles last year and I think this "reporter" has a clear agenda. He's a loser.

Peter Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Bucky is a clown. He has had it in for the Pegulas. Take everything he says (writes) with shaker full of salt. To get some perspective on Bucky's take, read (or re-read) that article he wrote about Kim about a year or so ago.

Jerry Jabber Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Gleason clearly wasn't reporting and I don't think Sullivan ever does. We are discussing opinion pieces and this is one. I read your entire post, hence, I'm convinced you don't know the difference. Reporter, writer, journalist, columnist...whatever. You just sound butt hurt because I insulted your favorite writer. If you like that hack and are upset that I called him a hack, then I'll call the whaambulance and have them pick you up.

T master Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Bucky is as good of a talent evaluator & a NFL expert as he was a WR thats why I and a lot of others didn't even know he played for the Bills because he sucked then & he still sucks !!

What a Tuel Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Buffalo Sports fans have some sort of complex in which they are always questioning "if they got the wrong guy". Of course that changes with winning, but the non stop theorizing about who the next "problem" is, is very telling of the average Buffalo fan's mindset. Who can we blame next? It goes from the bottom (players) all the way up to now we are questioning if we got the right owner? Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time for minor sports. Are the Bandits still in town? I don't follow them either. Ouch! Burn on the NHL. I just figured you'd use it as a window into Pegula as an owner. That's all. Spoiler: They're doing fine. Edited December 31, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I just said in other posts, I have faith that Pegs will figure things out re: the Bills, he will just have to learn the hard way. Not exactly the easiest position to be in after your 1st full year as owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellDopeland Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Gleason is a hack but I cannot help but agree. These folks ARE in over their heads. This drought is gonna reach 20 before we know it. Rex staying around only plants the seeds for that fate. As a Sabres fan, the Pegulas are no better than the crooked Rigas family. We're left waxing harmonious over Seymour and Nordy Knox. Bills fans will soon be pining for Ebenezer Ralph and his miserly henchmen.By the way, who are the Pegulas? From where did they come? We know their wealth came from poisoning ground water- but who exactly are they? Are they lizard people? Is Terry a member of the Illuminati? Are they members of the Morman chruch? And what kind of name is "pegula"? What is that- Slavic or something? In Esperonto "pegula" is translated as "devil". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain he's not a brilliant billionaire with a differing opinion? It sounds like he's not a lizard person, as he seems to be anti-lizard person, among other things. (That's goofy stuff.)
