sodbuster Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Here is Joe B's explanation about the practice field. Sounds like PR bull ****. If this is true I never go to another practice at Fisher again. https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeBuscaglia/status/894310261749948420 Then why wouldnt they do this for some of the less popular practices on the schedule? What a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Great write up once again. I'll say honestly that it doesnt bother me that they kept switching fields. Yes, it stinks for fans, but we're talking about a 17 year drought. Training camp is free. It's rather boring in comparison to an actual bills game. I get that 11 on 11 is the best part, but at the end of the day, it's just practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) That does suck and, I admit, I would be pissed if I went but I also have to be honest..... I really don't care if they decide to fly to the moon and stiff fans during training camp as long as they are ready come September 10th.

I really don't care if they decide to fly to the moon and stiff fans during training camp as long as they are ready come September 10th. I do. Its lousy form and the opposite message the Bills should be sending to their fans. My son is leaving for college in a few weeks and the last playoff game we had he was in diapers. You treat loyalty with respect, and we're loyal fans. McDermott needs to learn this isn't Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cale Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I know this has been said before. But these reports have been more "funner" than some in previous years. Love your sense of humor too. Thanks Astro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLandsMeanie Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Wow Astro. I saw this about camp too on the Bills facebook. What do you suppose is wrong with McDermott that he is doing these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I don't know about him, but I am sure it is McD. WHERE IS YOUR CAMP REPORT SIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLandsMeanie Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 WHERE IS YOUR CAMP REPORT SIR I did one on a different board from Thursday's practice. But I couldn't see Same as Astro except I saw even less. I will put it here if you guys want but there's not much football in there at all. And I rant some. And I make fun of McDermott. So it aint for fanboys thats for sure! But I will post it if you want if I don't get punished if y'all don't like it. Just lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Maybe they are trying to stay away from Astro Giving out their secret plays by moving to opposite field. Your updates must be catching Russ' attention. Good job bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it stinks for fans, but we're talking about a 17 year drought. Training camp is free. It's rather boring in comparison to an actual bills game. I get that 11 on 11 is the best part, but at the end of the day, it's just practice It was pretty rough for them to do that. 5000 fans showed up and lined the street going into Fisher to get in. Most of us saw the kickers stretch the whole time. This was my experience Sunday. Waited in line, got through the metal detectors and got to the bleachers. Went back towards the tents to grab some free sunglasses for my mom because she forgot her's. Got into an argument with "Mark" one of the security guys for hire about the meaning of general admission. He told me that because I didnt give them my name when I left the bleachers, I could not go back up to my seat that 3 people were saving for me. (Mind you this is general admission practice) After arguing with him for 10 mins on his little power trip, he finally let me up. (My ticket rep will be hearing about this soon, as this is the second time this has happened this season) Watched kickers pretend to kick for an hour before finally leaving They weren't switching fields, they blatantly avoided the fans that sacrificed a Sunday to watch them at a ticket practice. And its not about me. Little kids, elderly folks come to these because they cant go to games go to these practices. It was rude and disrespectful to a city that has 1/3 of the season ticket holders. The note about the field being torn up, its BS because they practiced on that little field on Thursday too. So they haven't practiced on the main field since Wednesday? Spare me that BS Bills PR. Sean better win, because he pissed off 5000 fans yesterday before his first preseason game You think this was all McDermott's doing?

And I had forgot about the elderly and little kids not being able to see games very easily. I agree with what you say about it being disrespectful. In my view, if McD wins a lot , this wont matter. If as is more likely, his record is average, he is paving the way to get fired a year or two earlier than he would have if he treated the fans like they are also important to the team. We are watching him get fired here is what I think. Not now, not next year, but a couple years of this combined with a mediocre or worse record will have the fans ready for someone new.
