Big Blitz Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I tried. I said, I'm going to listen to the first hour this am. I'm excited about the draft. Football is getting close...... Awful. Just awful. The main takeaway from JW was "the Bills seem to think they can beat the draft. And why no WR? They just don't seem to believe in making the position a priority." Then, JW, who clearly was far too distracted by GOT, suddenly recalled "well strike that. They did try to get AB." Yes morons. They did. And were connected to AJ Green. And since you can't get elite WRs at the Elite WR Store, we "settled" on John Brown, Cole Beasley, and the guy from the CFL. And maybe, just maybe the guys that know QB better than you (they clearly are not over how wrong they were on Rosen.....you can taste the salt over the airwaves they were so mad about Steve Smith's rant) know something about how deep next year's WR class vs this one that these 2 didn't seem to acknowledge went into Beane's planning, so he didn't want to "reach" this year. Also fellas, we signed that Sills kid. Which the first caller brought up. Neither of them ever heard of. And downplayed it. That UFDAs are not going to make it. It's rare they do we get it. But the Sills story is different. They spent 15 secs on it and immediately went to what they clearly are frothing at the mouth hoping will happen---this has to be it for Josh Allen right? No more excuses! Awesome. You just told us our WRs and RBs are trash. But now its "no more excuses." Interesting. Not going to listen to them over evaluate every freaking pass this season. And Howard concurred with all of it. Obviously. The first 2 rounds broke beautifully for us....they're complaining about not trading back. Or up. I couldn't tell. Good God. Their tone of skepticism, sarcasm (we wanted big people, other 'smarter' teams are getting faster), and complaints about the Bills thinking they know more than everyone else (they didn't understand the RB pick....in the 4th round it was apparently ok...but not the 3rd.) When did New England draft Sony Michel? Where was McCaffery drafted? Kareem Hunt? Chubb? Whatever. It's just pathetic. Buffalo deserves better than this garbage. Meanwhile here in DC they are over the moon with their draft. If there is any media/fan base that should be skeptical of their team, my God it's this one. So for me...only going to be Sal segments and the occasional interview with the GMs. I get better info and entertainment on boards like this than guys that get paid to fake it, troll, or just be miserable 3 or 4 hours a day. Sad a major part of my childhood that added to my level of fan hood (local sports radio) is just one giant slate of misery.* *worth noting. JW is Captain Tank. No wonder he thinks about the Sabres 24/7. Guilt perhaps? He clearly isn't paying attention to the Bills or at least taking them seriously. While national guys that do, are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpsredemption Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I do object to the bigger not faster point. Ed Oliver is a modern day player in every way imaginable. Same goes for Knox and V. Joseph. The only pick I didn’t really agree with too much was singletary. They reached a bit there and the positional value says they could have waited.

Estro Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I actually like the 3PM show quite a bit. I love Mike Schopp. I know a lot of people don't, but I find his opinions to be unique and for the most part very honest. He's the exact opposite of a homer, which I think is refreshing. Bulldog is okay, he's much better as Schopp's sidekick, than he is when he has to host on his own (which can sometimes be brutal to listen to. Jeremey White is awful, IMO. I think he's tried to carve out the same niche as Mike.....but it just doesnt work for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I remember one day where they spent almost the entire show talking about how Jack Eichel was playing on the wrong side on the Sabres powerplay......take what they say with a grain of salt Howard is ok and Jeremy thinks he should be GM and can’t figure why the Bills haven’t called him yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Ever since I found out there was this thing called a AUX cable where I can connect my phone and watch YouTube, Netflix, etc. in my car, I don't remember the last time listening to radio... I don't live in Buffalo so I don't know the morning guys there but I DO know that I dislike Shopp n Bulldog very much... Everytime I listen to them after a game (which isn't much), they are so disrespectful to the callers... Man, i be like how do these dudes still have a job? I like the show that comes after theirs though... The overtime show I believe its called... That guy has football knowledge and I like his affiliation with Cover 1 on YouTube...

Richard Noggin Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 White is a smart, witty guy in a general way. He's sharp. But, like Mike Schoop, who is also bright, he has arbitrary and uncompromisingly progressive approaches to NFL team-building that don't always align with reality. Schoop, in particular, refuses to temper his desk-jockey, fantasy-fueled infatuation with stats and analytics. He completely dismisses the complex human components of roster building and development. Which doesn't work with football, in my opinion. Measurable talent and past production are important, but there are so many variables, and so many reasons why some players progress and others don't, and why some teams persist while others unravel. Howard is a nice guy but doesn't seem to have any expertise about sports or Buffalo teams in particular. He might have at some point. But Jeremy carries him. If we were in a Mets market he'd be better suited. The guys they interview and bring in are worthwhile: Paul Hamilton is a snore but knows hockey. Sal C and Joe B offer better insight on the Bills and the NFL landscape in general than any of the hosts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSpeed Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I like the morning guys. They each have their opinions, but they do their best to be respectful of others. Not always easy with some of the callers they get. The afternoon guys to me seem very condescending to callers. Almost like they are annoyed that someone would have the gall to bother them. I have never called into a radio show. Probably never will, but I would never call the afternoon show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I listened to them briefly this morning & could not agree more with the Big Blitz. Usually listen to Sirius sports talk on one of the sports channels going into work but decided to flip on GR to see what the guys had to say about the draft. Big mistake. They dismissed Sills really quick, saying they had no chance of making the team. Obviously they never seen the kid play. This kid knows how to get open & knows how to find the end zone. I am not going to say he definitely makes the team but to dismiss before even mini camp is moronic. Howard said that the Pats/Cleve/Indy/SD/KC will definitely have a better record than us & Houston probably so there goes the playoffs. Simon has turned into a hack, he treats the Sabres with kid gloves & treats the Bills like sh*t. Anybody that has followed these two teams know the Bills are light years ahead in their development compared to the Sabres who are an absolute joke. I don't know, my fault for listening to them this morning I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
