dezertbill Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Dear Terry and Kim Pegula: Throughout the pre-season, there was much talk about our young roster, with the effort of our General Manager and Head Coach "doing everything we can to add to our football team where we deem fit." As the regular season progressed, we have witnessed a lot of bad football. Listed below are some of the reasons why: Lack of Depth and experience at QB Lack of Depth and experience at WR Lack of Depth and experience at OL Inability to know where to line up on offense Pre-snap penalties on top of pre-snap penalties. Horrible ST play It's obvious that your coach and FO felt that fortifying the QB position in case of injury or lack of production wasn't a priority (not signing a veteran until 1/3 of the way through the season). It's obvious that your coach and FO felt that, after last season, it was still acceptable to fill our roster with WRs who are nowhere near capable of separating from defenders, making pro catches, or making a play when needed. It's obvious that your coach and FO felt that after the loss of Glenn, Incognito, and Wood (3 main OL starters) that plugging in journeyman or inexperienced players would be "adequate." It's obvious that your coaches felt that teaching professional football players who make obscene amounts of money how to line up correctly on offense isn't anything close to a priority. Each game, when fans suffer through these unacceptable errors, the phrase 'Learning Moment' gets echoed time, and time, and time, and time again. Did I mention time, and time, and time again? We are line up wrong after converting a 3rd and long? Learning Moment. We hold on one of our rare 50 yard pass plays? Learning moment. We miss blocking assignments and watch our QB get killed? Learning moment. Wide receiver can't catch an easy ball? Learning moment. QB who we know doesn't have the arm strength to throw a sideline out and throws multiple pick-6's and wastes a great defensive game plan? Learning moment. Don't know where to line up? Learning moment So I have a suggestion for you. It's obvious that your coach and FO aren't interested (or capable...not sure which) of structuring the Buffalo Bills to make plays, not make obvious errors, or staff a team with players who are able to make football plays at certain positions on offense or ST. It's obvious that the inability to achieve the above means we will be witnessing substandard football for the remainder of the year. So in light of the fact that you admittedly are putting a substandard product on the field, I have an idea. You need to offer a "LEARNING MOMENT' discount; available for all Bills fans. You see, it's really simple. All season ticket holders receive a "LEARNING MOMENT" discount on season ticket package pricing. All single seat purchases also receive a "LEARNING MOMENT' discount. All concession stands also apply a "LEARNING MOMENT' discount to all purchases. Any Bills paraphernalia or items bought at Bills stores or NFL Website? "LEARNING MOMENT discount". Just apply "LRNMOM2018" discount code on all purchases and/or refunds. 15%...20%...30%. I'll let you figure that out. As you know, this could have all been avoided. If you would have just seen what everyone else in the world saw and realized that Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen were the worst QB depth on a Bills team since EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel. That our WRs from last year weren't going to have a massive leap to "Pro Bowl" level in 12 months. That the loss of 3 key starters on the offensive line wasn't going to be replaced by journeymen or back ups. That coaching your offensive players to line up correctly from day one was kind of a big deal. But no, you didn't care about all that. It's all about learning moments. Fine. Since it's obvious that you are quite comfortable putting a substandard product on the field, we should be compensated accordingly. Learning moments are big in practice. Learning moments are big in pre-season. Not over, and over, and over again in real games where wins and losses matter, and your fans are paying you accordingly to suffer through those results. To your marketing team? Your welcome. My suggestion would be to have these discounts take effect immediately. Just like our realization that our team's offense is a shell of what you talked it up to be. Go Bills! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COTC Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 We already have welfare ticket prices because of the city we play in. How much cheaper do you want them to go? The new stadium will end this and you will see it is a privilege to attend a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people." Sorry no. It's not a privilege expect for the Pegulas who have the priviledge of a taxpayer funded stadium and STH willing to pay (not be granted) the right to attend games. Get a grip.

Mat68 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Buffalo has a solid core on Defense now. With the cap space and up coming draft I expect alot of that being used on the offense. In 2019 you are going to see wholesale changes to the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an outdated stadium without climate control in a cold weather area. Still has too many seats. There just is no pricing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres used to be the hottest ticket in town, but the Pegulas fixed that pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given McDermott and Beane and their scouts' wondrous ability to judge offensive talent, I doubt that those "wholesale changes to the offense" will result in significant improvement in offensive performance, especially since McDermott, Daboll, Castillo, Robiskie, and the rest of the current offensive coaches are still here. Swapping out stinky crap for slightly less stinky crap doesn't change any of it into treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
