Phil The Thrill Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) After suffering through Schopp and Bulldog‘S post game show, I kept listening to WGR to hear the Overtime Show with Nate Geary and Joe DiBiase. The first thing that Nate did was criticize complaining Bills fans - mostly the ones on Twitter - though you see a lot of the same comments here. Specially he called out fans that are extremists and turn on the team on the drop of a hat. Fans are pumped about the Bills, but as soon as they blow a lead it’s “Same old Bills” or “It’s over.” Joe said he gets it because the Bills have Depressing a lot for the past 2 decades. But Nate’s point is that the majority of the Bills roster are 2nd or 3rd year players who are still learning to win. Said that the Bills have never drafted a QB 7th overall and that fans need to give him time and be realistic. Also said some of the “toxic” comments on Bills Twitter are unbelievable. It’s a great listen: Edited September 23, 2019 by Phil The Thrill 11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great listen: Twitter is always toxic no matter what, so to give them press isn't productive really. We ALL have that "here we go again" in us, and to deny it is to lie to yourself. It's always been a part of being a Bills fan, but I for one was thrilled to see yet again that do or die spirit. It's simply taking me back to the germination of what was four straight Super Bowl runs. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The worst offender of all is Sal Maiorana from the Rochester D and C. He's the new Jerry Sullivan. Unbelievably cynical and depressing. One guy on this board was upset that we haven't had a 300 yard passer in years. Just had a huge home opener win to remain undefeated and he went online and posted a new topic on how embarrassed he is.

RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The postgame show is awful, impossible to listen too. Geary makes a great point, and the guys that have the show before him should listen to it. This Bills team is good. It’s been a long time since i felt confident saying that. But this team is good. They make mistakes and they don’t get derailed. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting for. There is no question about that at all. Maybe some fans still believe that it’s Darnold, or Mayfield, or Mahomes, or maybe even Rosen... but that doesn’t matter. Josh Allen is our man, and week after week, he shows that he plays until the end, he overcomes his mistakes, and he leads the team. What more could anyone ask for? People who are asking for perfection, belong on the postgame show with those two clowns and their horrible takes on the team we love. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hes 100% correct a young QB will be up and down, and less noticeable so will young players at other positions. Guess what we aren't going to play great football for 4 months, no one does. It's September while getting better and having speed bumps just continue to win This game was frustrating for a lot of reasons but for the quarterback- he's shown a toughness, he doesnt go into a shell when things go wrong. he makes play with pressure on our eyeballs seems to miss what's taking place as he lets the ball go and then complain about a throw or missing an "open" guy we are 3-0 that's all that matters right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 BBFS is powerful, but can be overcome. I was chilling on the couch with relatively low blood pressure when we went down 3. This team isn’t perfect but I don’t know what the hell people expect. They will continue to get better.

Perry Turtle Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If social media and Twitter were around in the late 80s, the same stuff would have been said about the Kelly-era Bills. There was a lot of opinion on call-in shows that the Bills should trade Kelly after Reich won 5 games during the '89 season. The Bickering Bills would have been destroyed on social media. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I was pretty surprised by how quickly some here turned on Allen today. The guy is clearly the QB we’ve been waiting for. It’s year 2, so of course he’s going to make some mistakes. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eanyills Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I mean, they also said that our 3-0 isn’t the same as other teams 3-0 and that if the Bills went 11-5 with this schedule it would really be more like 9-7. While they don’t want to hear blind pessimism, they aren’t riding unchecked hype. Edited September 23, 2019 by eanyills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they... 1) were super amped up for this game. Might’ve had too much adrenaline, but dealt with it and found a way to come out with a “W”. 2) were playing a team that was fighting tooth and nail to try and finally get their 1st win of the season (i.e. trap game). 3) we’re playing a team that has shown an ability to throw downfield and shut down a big weapon in John Ross. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I continue to get verification that WGR continues to have no one on air that meets the following criteria: 1. Is entertaining 2. Knows football (and hockey) 3. Is a Bills (and Sabres) fan 1st while being objective. These are not mutually exclusive but this is part of your talents as to being able to host a show. You don't come off as a blatant homer. And you certainly aren't a cynical nihilistic critic because you think you know better....than everyone. If you don't meet all 3 of those criteria you should not be hosting a show that is home to two of the best most passionate fan bases in the country. My friends down here in Northern Virginia or so envious of what we have as a fan base. Because it's gotten so diluted here. I tell them I'm envious of your local sports radio hosts lol.
