OutOfBubbleGum Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 What is with the Bills being cited by national News agencies for other than football news. There's the consistent McCoy articles, wide receivers making babies because there's nothing else to do in Buffalo, Davis quitting at halftime.... The list can go on and on...

hondo in seattle Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don't care much about the media headlines - though I thought the 'Buffalo Baby' story was kind of funny. I'm not even stressed about winning and losing - I know we're not returning to the playoffs this year. I'll watch the games to see how our young players are developing because I'm hoping 2019 will be better. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crowing Rooster Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm a fan of the Buffalo Bills always have been and always will be. I watch the games and form and my own opinions on what I see during the game. I don't need the media to tell me how they are doing I can see that for myself.

You mean this? https://nypost.com/2018/09/20/former-bills-receiver-gets-candid-about-buffalo-sex-life/ Newly signed Eagles receiver Jordan Matthews said his time in Buffalo brought he and wife Cheyna closer together. Speaking to the media Wednesday, the first-time father summed up his off-field activities in western New York. “When I was in Buffalo, there was like nothing to do there, except … have fun with your wife,” Matthews said, via NBC Philadelphia. “She got pregnant. So we always say we got a Buffalo baby. Ain’t nothing to do there, except each other.” Matthews, 26, was traded to the Bills in August 2017 following three seasons in Philadelphia. He signed a $1 million deal with the Patriots in April, but was released four months later. The Eagles — hurting at wide receiver after putting Mike Wallace on IR — re-signed him Wednesday. He and Cheyna, a forward on the Washington Spirit soccer club, welcomed son Josiah Jordan Matthews in August. They wed in June 2017.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) You can't make fun of people's race, age, gender, orientation, etc. But you can make fun of cities. It's human nature to pick on the unfortunate. As for Jordan, obviously he's afraid of cold weather. Otherwise, he'd discover an entire city with stuff happening.

This happens when a front office and coaching staff have no idea how to construct a team. Yep. There needs to be one joke team every year. It was easy for Bills fans for a while. We had the Browns (Q. How many snarky comments on TSW the last half dozen years about the Browns?), and then the national media had the Jets for a little while to serve this purpose. Brownsy things are now happening all the time in Buffalo: Peterman I, Peterman II. Anquon Boldin “sign and retire” because it’s not what he thought it would be. Marrone’s two and done. Orton’s surprise one and done. Whaley:Pegulas ::Sessions:Trump. The failed EJ Manuel experience. Passing up Mahomes. Trading up for Sammy, then sending him packing. Richie re-signing, then “retiring,” then trying to unretire but having that plan ruined by a freak out at a public gym and a psych evaluation, all on the heels of your second round pick last year running around naked and trying to jump out of a sealed 30th story window. (And thankfully the national media paid little attention to our psychotic naked runner from a few months earlier.) It’s all good fodder. But then it reached a new peak with the Vontae half-time retirement. Is there a better laughingstock candidate out there? Not that I can see, and not that the national media can see either. Congrats, Bills. You’ve earned it. EDIT: oh, and hiring clown Rex to shore up the defense. Plummeting to the bottom of the defensive rankings. Hiring Rob as a Ryan force multiplier. Firing both. Signing McCarron as a veteran bridge. Dumping McCarron. Spending $3 million for a couple weeks of Corey Coleman. Dumping Coleman. Yes, I could go on.

SF Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Jordan must not have been trying that hard to find things to do. What is he doing in Philadelphia that's so radically different?

From the players’ perspective, or from anyone’s for that matter, if it’s not a major media/cultural center (and Philly ain’t that) and it isn’t a warm climate location (warmer than Buffalo? Have fun with that as campaign), it’s all about the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 ....harken back to early 2006......Ralph's "inner circle of trust" was breached and Tom "Terrific" Donohole was fired....RW goes into panic mode and summoned Marv from the mothballs who was "re-tired (with retreads)"..........Marv and Brandon were his trustworthy confidants.....and they bring in Dopey Dickie Jauron.....hence the image of "Dysfunction Junction" was hatched....and the drought era of misfits, unqualifieds, over the hill "re-tireds", etc were the "F Troop" to lead the circus.....the Marrone exodus and TrainWrecks debacle added wood to the fire......so McBeane , McD and company will be on the "hot seat" from day 1 to turn this mess around overnight and breaking the 17 year schneid is now irrelevant and old news....Bflo will be the national "dart board" for awhile until proven otherwise....HINT: they effed up again with the Allen pick according to the all knowing national urinalists....

I agree but most nation news agency's like ESPN and BR are jokes. I care what the players think. Fans generally are misinformed and bias. The sports news caters to that. Rep is a lot to the players but not to me when it comes to the outside perspective. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
