YoloinOhio Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Great read, very funny http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/13/borrrrrrrrring-jason-botterill-brandon-beane-buffalos-non-splash-brothers/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=puma&utm_source=Twitter#link_time=1494769465 So these guys won't be distracted easily by shiny objects? Where's the reckless disregard for the long-term future we've gotten used to? Edited May 14, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks. Bucky also had complements for Beane. The media is just as happy as the fanbase is that the clownshow is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo86 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It seems as though the Buffalo media wasn't actually being overly negative of OBD over the past year. It was just the right amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo86 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It was well-deserved, can't blame them for doing their jobs. Totally agree. I loved it at the time, because I hoped it might work toward embarrassing the Pegulas into making a change. It's like the Jauron billboard: we'll never know how much of an effect it had (if any), but it doesn't appear to have hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt many people played a part in the Liberation, but McD more than led the way out of the darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_Bills Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am with Tom. NE, GB, Pitt are all "boring" by the same standard Throw the Giants into that mix. Of course each of them found a QB. I'm OK with boring Boring, exciting..makes no difference to me as long as we win. I'm not being negative, I think this is the natural course for franchises trying to find their way. The Rex bluster...I was totally cool with building a bully - except it just never happened...is replaced by a more measured mentality. I prefer the new mindset and I'm hopeful it produces the results we all want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am with Tom. NE, GB, Pitt are all "boring" by the same standardNE boring? Since when? They dont do anything "boring". They are two steps ahead of everyone. They devalued the RB and running game first, they modernized the two TE set, their two minute offense is Brady throwing on first, second, and third downs, now they are trading away or giving up draft picks for veterans. As for controversy they have tons of that too - from murders to cheats. They win because they got the greatest QB ever in the sixth round and Belichick is two steps ahead either fairly or by cheating. But they are not the model organization you wish to emulate. I will take Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore (one major scrwup by Ozzie with Ray Rice does tarnish his legacy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Funny how the media works; boring and never grabbing for the splash player was the Bills for many years. In fact Wilson got beat up and called cheap a million times. The bottom line is you can never please everyone and I'm just hoping these guys can bring back some winning and competitive play.

Punching Bag Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It was well-deserved, can't blame them for doing their jobs. If they were doing their job then their job is to test LSD and other hallucinogenic agents but I am sure you will tell me not to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organization that just goes to the playoffs nearly every year, contends for Super Bowls seemingly every other year, and happens to win a few every once in a while when they hit on a QB. That organization just hums. Edited May 15, 2017 by BringBackFlutie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
