The Plunge Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I used to get angry at Jerry's articles and tweets. But now I just feel sorry for him. He's a miserable, sad human. And he's only happy when he brings people down to his level of misery. It's very sad actually. I think he genuinely hates the team and it's players. And if any of them are finding success, he takes it upon himself to pull them back down. When's the last time he wrote an article where he praised a player on the team? Or a coach? I've muted Jerry on twitter. I hate seeing his articles posted at Two Bills Drive but I get why they're here. That said, if this site decided to stop posting his crap, I would applaud the decision.

mrags Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I didn't read what he wrote but you are generally correct that he finds negative in things. 1- he doesn't cover everything in rose colored glasses. 2- he's from the New England area and he is not a Bills fan so it's no surprise he's not a fan of this team. He does his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NeckBeard Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm envious of Jerry. I really am. You could say any number of critical things about this team for the past 17 years, and you'd probably be right, or at least on some level. Good on that young man for being in tune with capitalism, and seizing the precious opportunity with the BN that he had been presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It's not like he's never posted anything positive. His job is to generate revenue, and posting negative, controversial things gets more reaction from people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with someone being critical of things. I think it's healthy. But it has to be done with balance. I don't like people who just report the positive either. You lose credibility when your opinion is too skewed either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 He has a shtick: Pure negativity. When it's all he does, it's predictable, lazy and boring. But until the Bills start winning, Jerry is always right, which sucks. Win, and this one dimensional act becomes irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I get the sentiment, OP. It's so pathetic at this point I don't even care. Sully is an antique in a modern social media feeding frenzy, and is just trying to keep his head above water. Sure his views are rediculous and not based on facts or reason, but his credibility is so low that I have a hard time getting fired up about his stuff.

8-8 Forever? Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I read his article. We'll see. At the end of the day, most of these NFL journalists (who examine to one degree or another all 32 teams) have done a pretty accurate job over the past 4-5 years of prognosticating how the Bills' season will go. Sully is super skeptical because there are all kinds of reason to be skeptical this year. That's why they play the games I guess.... we shall see Edited August 11, 2017 by jmcraig44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 2 points I would love to relay directly to Sullivan: 1) STFU!!! 2) Move the hell away from Buffalo and never come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) One thing is for sure, the Bills have certainly given him plenty of reasons to post negative articles over the years. I'm sure he's grinning right now, after the trades. Edited August 11, 2017 by Drunken Pygmy Goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Being a Bills skeptic is just easy as it is being one for the other 32 teams. The only way you are ever "wrong" is if your team wins the SB. So, you have a 1/32 chance of being wrong, every year. Good odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had an issue getting around Buffalo News' paywall. It is so simple to bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
