TC in St. Louis Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I just watched ESPN's coverage of Vontae Davis walking out on the team. Max Kellerman just took a big giant steamer on the Bills and Bills fans. He is laughing at the situation. He needs to get socked in the jaw. The Bills fans are the most loyal in sports. He's a pompous jerk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bill's fans arent any more loyal then any other teams fans in any sport. And so what if they made comments or jokes about what happened, this franchise is becoming the joke of the league, guys just up and retiring just because (4 abrupt retirements since last training camp, not including Woods forced injury returement) and the last one comes during an actual game. It could have been worse, he could have walked off the field during a play and retired, at least he waited til half time. When has that happened before? They have sent Nate Peterman out there twice as their starting QB and had ot blown up in their face, have traded away almost anyone on their roster worth anything for picks, and have taken a team that made the playoffs into one that may go winless in one offseason all voluntarily while carrying the highest dead cap amount in the league (by a huge margin) Edited September 17, 2018 by apuszczalowski 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched the cowgirls/giants game during halftime they showed, next weeks network schedule of games. the Bills/vikes game was third on the list. Good ole Mike did not even memtion it. He skipped it. Then said of the games he did mention. There's some great games next Sunday. Historically the Bills are an easy targe for cheapshots. .It no longer bothers me.

Unless there is something we don't know about, Davis handled this about as poorly as he could have. I get, and respect, that he just came to terms with the fact that he just can't physically play football anymore...I am sure that is hard to deal with. But why not tell your coaches at the beginning of the week, or today...or, eve if he told them at half-time, just stay with his teammates until the end of the game, even if he couldn't play. To me, this is just a very unjustified black-eye on the franchise. The national take seems to be that this is all a reflection on how bad of a franchise the Bills are, or how bad the fans are, is just galling. But, you are right...we have been here before.

He talks a little to much and thinks not quite enough, trying to get a reaction.

He's a pompous jerk. ESPN has been off my programming selection for a few years now. I suggest that you do the same. You're never going to get most of the ESPN personalities to like us. You are never going to get a majority of fans from other NFL cities to like us. Even Patriots fans understand those concepts and ESPN NFL coverage will shift when their streak of dominance ends and more media personalities dump on them. Viewership of NFL related programming will drop accordingly in NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a popular take on a Bills' message board . . . You're not a troll or a dummy, but I disagree. The Buffalo Bills form a significant part of the city's sense of self in a manner that is relatively rare in sports. The baseball Cardinals and the Cubs might be equivalent, but for a small midwestern city, the level of identification is more intense and more constitutive of what it means to live or be from Buffalo. It's why many pro football players remark on how there is more of a college atmosphere in Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have made some highly questionable player personnel decisions and as the 2nd half of Game 2 showed, they have not been playing up to even the level the talent they do possess. 15 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: I'm putting a bounty on Kellerman's head. $100 of my own money for whichever of you guys cracks his skull!!

You can think otherwise but I have seen fans in other cities and the passion is not at the same level in all 32 cities. The "abrupt" retirements are more about the Bills bottom feeding on washed up rental players (do to the cap situation) than anything else. Incognito being an exception, the man is ill. The dead cap issue was in part created by the current regime. Next year the cap will be clear and I sure hope they know how to use the money.
