Foreigner Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 You guys just don't get it. The business of professional sports is business. It is to make money. It is all about the money. Whether it is for the owners, players, vendors, FO workers, stadium workers, NFL, TV people and companies, and everyone else anyone wants to think about. Winning is secondary. Sure, win and the more money winds up in everyone's pockets. However, owners worth Billions either make a profit, or lose enough to cut their tax bill. If not they get out. Money satisfies most owners egos. It is the fans, we who spend our time and money who need the winning more. Very few of will go out to New Era this year just to enjoy the football, not caring who wins. If the owners teams win, great, but it is the revenue or money that means the most, to most of them. There are no statements from the Pegulas about Sundays performance, and as long as they can keep making money one way or another there won't be much said from them. There is 1 winner from the 4 major sports each year, but how many franchises for sale; doesn't that tell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. he made some good Plays. He made some bad plays. I think it's fair to say that if the ENTIRE Clowns team and coaching played better, they would have won.

ctk232 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Foreigner said: 3. Jordan Pryor - Bills Safety. "They were more prepared". Two things: 1. It's one game. Deplorable af game it was, but still just the first game. 2. Not calling out the OP, but do people here still honestly believe this is a playoff caliber team, or even an 8-8 plus team? How did any move this offseason not indicate that we were not looking to really compete this year? Dead cap, veteran and under-performing/over-paid player departures, etc. We spent two first round draft picks on our offensive QB and defensive QB, both of which show promise, but they were not immediate result picks intended to make all the difference this year. They were development picks for the next 2-3 years. I wanted to quote number 3 here because I think it's something that is being overlooked in our emotional reactions to Sunday, deserved as they may be. I personally have a real issue with "QB Competitions" in the offseason. While I understand the need to evaluate talent on the roster, rotating QBs through reps in training camp and well into the preseason doesn't allow our team to develop in two regards: the physical and mental realms. Physically, first team players do not have the chance to develop rhythm with the QB and coordinate timing, delivery, accuracy (something we definitely saw Sunday). It doesn't allow the OL, or lack thereof, to develop repetition with the starter for snap counts/cadence, pocket presence, or play style. Mentally, the team has no single offensive leader to put their faith in, and are otherwise put in a directionless environment until the staff decides on QB1. Regardless of the Captains on the team, the offense needs to be able to say, with certainty, who the guy is leading the offensive drives. While it's important to evaluate talent, you resign your team to uncertainty up until the week before the first game. And then you expect them to come out in mid-season form and plug in the pieces they've been missing for almost three months to this point? There's a reason the whole team looked unprepared on Sunday.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Rico said: Fans who flip out after one game are the bottom feeders. Come on with this. You've been watching poop sandwich football from this organization since the late 1990's. They make the Playoffs once in 18 years and all is forgotten. Look at the lack of talent on this roster. Jordan Mills has been your starting RT for 3 years. Vlad Duccasse is still starting. Your #1 WR had 1 catch for 10 yards. McCoy and Clay are both 29/30 years old and not getting any younger. Look at the FA signings that Beane has made. And fans are supposed to keep their mouths shut and believe in McDermott's elite culture? How did being on time for meetings and "earning the right to win" look on Sunday? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Rico said: Fans who flip out after one game are the bottom feeders. They would be...in a vacuum. But this is year 18 of "rebuilding," of front office and coaching turnover, of incoherence in identity resulting in drafting for one coach who is replaced by another coach with a different approach so the former picks are dumped so the new regime can get "their guys," on and on. So it isn't like this has been a perennial top franchise just having an off year, this is who the Bills are. Except for a couple of fairly short successful stretches, the Bills have always been mediocre to awful and the current regime is looking more and more like they will continue that "tradition." So the " bottom feeders, " as you so nastily state, are the historically correct realists. As to those who refuse to acknowledge what they see right in front of them and demand non-critical support for "their" team, saying "Just give them more time," I remind them it's been 58 years and counting. How much more time should we be blindly positive, loyal and supportive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 10 players left on the roster from the '17 playoff team. 13. HC "We have to grow and learn from the film". 14. Coleman fired by the Bills, hired by the Pats. Maybe a few of these items are nitpicking, but if we and the national media know the story, do the Pegulas know why their two Pro franchises are bottom feeders now.

His teams get behind in games and they can't do anything to stop things from snowballing. What happened to this defensive genius? At least we should be able to count on that. I know he doesn't know crap about offense. Forget about the fact that they also only scored 3 vs. Carolina and Jacksonville. Even in the Rex era we didn't suffer this many blowouts..
