Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 As an English major: yikes on the double up of 'pack,' bro. The pack of wolves packed the room to hear about a Buffalo team that is nowhere near the Packers in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vorpma Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Put the Bills and this 17 year train wreck in any other city, and the media coverage would not be any different. We already have "Pegula sponsored radio and tv shows", do you also want Pegula sponsored newspapers that do nothing but tow the company line? Yes!

ndirish1978 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes! Please substantiate with facts! I'm totally mystified how many blame the media for this "dumpster fire." Please tell me what I am missing? Here you go: Follow Mike RodakVerified account@mikerodak Doug Whaley asked reporters yesterday to "confirm with me" reports about front office. Would be nice, if Whaley was actually made available. Mike Rodak @mikerodak Jan 3 Mike Rodak Retweeted I've sat in the office of a general manager for another NFL team I don't even cover. I've never seen Whaley's office -- not by my choice. Mike Rodak @mikerodak Jan 3 Doug Whaley could very easily take a 2-minute walk downstairs to the Bills' media room to clear up "narratives." He never does. Tim Graham @ByTimGraham Jan 3 Tim Graham Retweeted Mike Rodak Same. I have cell numbers for over half the NFL's general managers and some owners. I've never spoken to Whaley over phone or in his office. Not blaming the media for the GM's poor ability to communicate. But i do believe TBN and Rodak are incompetent hacks who make up drama because the FO doesn't respect them enough to give them interviews. They talk to Vrentas and Wawrow, so it seems they just don't like the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I am easily distracted by the media who report the Buffalo Bills are a dysfunctional organization that have not been successful in 17 years, have horrendous drafts, and are nowhere close to playoff contention! What if the F*** are they reporting that is inaccurate; you guys make it easy for the FO to keep up the same old BS! Does the year 1999 mean anything to you; does the failure of multiple drafts mean anything? Believe me, I've been a frustrated fan. I've followed this team for over 45 years. I I'm not forgetting that it wasn't very long ago most fans were anxious about the Bills leaving town. What ticks me off is that Sullivan and the other Buffalo News cronies never miss an opportunity to personally sling mud at the organization and Pegula in particular. I'm not saying that Pegula hasn't made mistakes but in the BN eyes, he can do nothing right. They are critical of anything he does. Jerry Sullivan calling Pegula a bozo? Really? It shouldn't give these guys license to put out endless, mean spirited, speculative, drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Byrd Man Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 First it was tight fisted Ralph Wilson, now it is the incompetent Pegulas that are to blame for the Bills woes. Is it jealousy that creates this angst? I don't know. Maybe it's because they feel inferior at their jobs and are just looking to drag someone else down to their level. These people are self made billionaires but some how as sports owners we are to believe they are incompetent.? The media clearly has an agenda in many cases because they are the "ultimate authorities on how a team should be run". They routinely throw coach after coach under the bus, then whine about not making the playoffs. Are they to stupid to realize they are part of the problem? Any organization needs time to develop. Unfortunately the media here demands instant success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Byrd Man Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 TEAM = MEDIA Nobody deserves the playoffs How much more time should we give them? It's been 17 years for godsakes. Right! I want to see the Bills make the playoffs as much as anyone else, maybe more, but there has been 17 years of constantly reshuffling the deck. Each new coach brings in a new staff and implements a new system. Now many of the players the GM drafted to fit the scheme are now not a good fit talent wise for the new scheme. So we go back to the draft. Then in 2 years when writers throw the current coach under the bus we get to start the process all over again. Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting new results. By that definition the media here is insane.

You don't have to think the team is great to dislike the local media. So defensive. The team is incompentent and so are the reporters covering it.

Are you speaking of JW? I also like Sal Capaccio. Chris Brown and Murph work for the team but I still appreciate the fact that they actually gather some good information and get a different perspective on things. I'm just sick of the mean spirited tabloid stuff coming out of the Buffalo News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegula hasn't been here 17 years yet they have verbally abused the guy since day one. The BN has become a mean spirited tabloid. I can't remember the last time they actually did some research and actual journalism. Everything has a negative slant and is based on opinion only.
