Fixxxer Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And to think losing IK in the first pre-season game was deemed catastrophic, who the hell will attempt to rush the passer opposite Hughes? We all asked at the time, and then the Lorax stepped up and saved the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I just feel bad for JM. For some reason I think it would be appropriate to blame Sully for all the failures an ineptitudes of the Buffalo News. Karmic justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 No the picture was right, they messed up the headline. Shouldve said "loss of talent derails I.K.'s future in the NFL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I cant stop laughing and i don't even live in Buffalo. If that happened here in NYC they would talk about it for a year. It would have been on Jay Leno and all the other talk shows. I dont even know if Jay Leno even has a talk show anymore since i dont watch them so don't crucify me. This could not be more wrong. Just as in Buffalo, it's likely that 90% of the readers blow right past that top of the page teaser picture and kept on reading. Only people who have to keep railing on the local press need to believe this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Does anybody think the new Buffalo News website that was touted as this big upgrade is actually a huge downgrade? There seems to be way less content, it's not organized in the way it used to be - local news, sports, etc, the same stories stay up for days - and on and on.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And to think losing IK in the first pre-season game was deemed catastrophic, who the hell will attempt to rush the passer opposite Hughes? We all asked at the time, and then the Lorax stepped up and saved the day. Who in the world thought IK getting hurt was catastrophic? He was an awful, awful player. And besides some of the tools that work for them, overall, I think the Buffalo News is a pretty good papers. But yeah, some should have caught this. But let's be honest. Most Bills fans don't know what Miller looks like. But he is playing great and I hope his mom is proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Ah ha! So it is not Rex and Whaley to blame after all. It's the Buffalo News' fault, and Jerry Sullivan in particular! Someone please hold them accountable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87168 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) They are people, not robots. Besides errors have been made since newspapers were invented. That's why there are retractions,. oh please! they are professionals! a typo in a sentence I would agree with, but this a completely wrong image of a player. I don't recall TBN mixing up photos of the Ryan brothers, or Brady, or Manning. It's your job to proof read, and it's someone else's job to proof read what you've proof read. that's how journalism works. so in this case, more than one person has dropped the ball. this is sloppy and sums up TBN as a whole. errors and delusional editorials litter their site. .....oh, and to top that off, their site is also very poorly monitored.

87168 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Okay, Mr. Quality Control. well, I majored in history. accuracy counts. sadly, as this article shows, most publishers and editors do not. they're in too much of a hurry and too eager chasing dollars.
