The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Mahomes is just the latest in guys that we (along with most or all NFL teams) shouldn't have passed on.

He went from the most aggressive apologist in the history of TSW.........he would MF you up and down for being critical of Jauron.........to having a very jaundiced eye for Billsy trends. But you gotta' take things on a case to case basis...........just because it rings Billsy doesn't mean it's going to turn out that way. Yes, he had the most brutally bad takes blow up in his face, year after year. The last straw was when he pinned all hope on Whaley, believing and enhancing all the hype. "Finally, I will be right on something Bills-related!" Something snapped the day that DW was fired, and cold reality finally set in. He developed a seething jealousy and hatred for the new regime. giving them no credit for anything, and longed for the days when his beloved Whaley, EJ, Sammy, etc. were still with the team. "If only this..." "If only that..." Sometimes life and football just isn't fair. Fascinating case study, no doubt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaRun Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 "You need to take games one week at a time, don't look past..." No I don't, I'm a fan, what I do or think has no impact on what the Bills do week in week out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing it by mistake is an astounding error that you at least should find gallows humor in if nothing else. The key point about Mahomes that the whiners conveniently never mention is that Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith for a year. Even though Smith knew he was being replaced he openly shared his knowledge and really helped Mahomes prepare for the job. Similar situation with Rogers behind Favre. Had they been drafted by the Bills and subsequently thrown to the wolves right off the bat neither would have flourished like they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please - learn appropriate grammar Not quite the same, but when I was in high school we thought everyone we worked with on a summer job was named or nicknamed Waddell because on your first day whoever was in charge would come up to you and say, "Waddell's your name."

You should quit at once and become a scout or other front office personnel in the NFL. It's clear you have the expertise and confidence. Don't waste another minute. This is one example. Rather than a counter-point you get someone telling you to apply for a job. Happens a lot on here and it’s a white flag in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket94 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I worked with some people in Buffalo last year who were convinced that the Bills were going to the Super Bowl. I just looked at them and I wanted to ask them what they were smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re not NYC, the rest is just lumped into “upstate”. On another note, those “We should trade player X to team Y for player Z” comments are just silly.

You're right but I doubt Rogers was twiddling his thumbs all that time sitting behind Farve. Not dismissing the very real talents of Mahomes or Rogers. Just opining that had either been put in a starting role immediately after being drafted might not have seen the same longer term results but who knows. Both might still have become greats but to the point of the hackneyed statements that the Bills woulda, coulda, shoulda about both players it's just one of those things we'll never know.

I hate the Upstate NY reference to Buffalo! Why do I have to find myself explaining this to people. I just say yeah and walk away now! It is almost as bad as explaining that there is a whole State of NY besides NYC! Edited September 16, 2019 by Rocket94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife, whom I love dearly, omits all vowels in many of her texts and frequently uses "too" instead of "to". What can I say, I'm quickly becoming an old fart.
