Random talking head says something about the Bills

[Simon]

Since we don't need a new thread every time some needy knucklehead says something to draw attention to themselves, I'm just creating this thread to have a place to drop them.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

This is actually getting absurd. Among much more, Brooks says he has a hard time envisioning us making the playoffs.

 

So many problems he mentions here as his premise are, in my opinion, baseless.

 

That Bengals loss seems to have done a real number on everyone not named Kyle Brandt or Peter King.

Is it too late to rescind the draft pick used on him?

 

I mean, he was so bad at what the Bills drafted him to do, they switched him to the other side of the ball.

[Scott7975]

I'm not buying what Bucky Brooks is selling. Like, I really don't care about the media much but they have been pretty insane with all the disrespect towards the Bills.  We may not make the super bowl. We might not even win our first game, but damn we are still a team that faced some pretty bad diversity last season, had a ton of injuries and people in and out of the lineup.... we still went 13-3 and won a playoff game.

But how will we draw attention to ourselves when we can’t create threads about people drawing attention to themselves?!

Bills went from the golden child to the step child to these analysts. 47 wins in 4 years and 3 straight AFCE titles. I can understand the skepticism about winning in the post-season, but you’re crazy if u don’t think they get there at all. Monday can’t come soon enough. 

[Stenbar]

Who cares what anyone writes or voices their opinion about a team. They are always just spoutin off their opinion. Let it play out and enjoy the ride or hate it.  Who gives a crap. You still have to work on Monday or Tuesday, if they suck turn it off and dont waste your time, if they run it, then enjoy it. 

[sven233]

And when we win by double digits on Monday, they're all going to either wonder why the Jets aren't as good as they thought they would be, or, they will just say it's week 1 and it doesn't matter.  Maybe you will get a couple saying that maybe the Bills were written off too soon, but it won't be many of them if there is any at all.  It's all fine.  Rather just fly under the radar.

[Nephilim17]

Hopefullly Bucky Brooks' prognostication skills are as good as his pro football skills that he evidenced over a 32-game career.

 

As a Bill alum, he's been kind to us in the past but NFL.com likely wants to trade in controversial stories and "takes" and this is one of them.

[Old Coot]

Perhaps Bucky is basing his opinion on the fact that JA is on the cover of Madden '24. Remember the "Madden Curse"?

 

Who doesn't believe in curses? (Fingers crossed)

Depends on how it happens.  

Nyheim Hines WAS the biggest chance for a big blowout for a TD return flips odds a lot.  Special teams will be weaker for Bills.

If Aaron Rodgers throws a lot of interceptions the story will be he has not had time to get in sync with receivers.

if Bills defense overwhelms JEST offense again story will be offense has not had time to get in established with new QB and weapons.

If Bills offense overwhelms JEST defense this will be hardest to explain away since like Coach McD JEST coach is a renown DC.

I just looked at this article. It's fantastic on so many levels.

 

First he says Singletary being gone is a big loss, then he refers to our probowl TE 'Dalton' Knox.

Wish this was a thread earlier in the offseason. It’d be nice to visit it at the end of the season and scroll through the relentless never stopping takes about the Bills being done 

[Mr. WEO]

this undercuts a lot of the look at my outrage though...

The larger question is this….Why, when I pay to watch games every season, do I even have to listen to the inane ramblings of dipshits announcing the game?

[78thealltimegreat]

Reading Buckys assessment the guy seems to have a porn level woody for Leslie Frasier and the loss of Tremaine Edmunds. 
In addition Buckys massive career as an afterthought receiver has given him the ability to diagnose Diggs will be triple covered and no one else on the Bills can get open. So of course the Bills will now miss the playoffs.

You just have to realize that everybody is entitled to their opinion ... and if their opinion doesn't match yours, then they're idiots.

This is hardly a solution though is it. An option to turn off the commentary would be better so if people wanted to they could just see the game with the crowd noise. Does this option exist anywhere? If so I've never seen it.

 

Personally I don't mind the announcers, even the bad ones I can live with.

[thenorthremembers]

Said it once and say it again, none of this means jack until the games start.    Never gave much thought to someone's opinion.

In my opinion, Bucky Brooks has zero original ideas, or opinions. I think he mostly reads what other people say, and regurgitates it onto his column. At this time of year, that means he’s spitting back up all sorts of clickbait hot-takes. And as the season progresses, it transitions into restating the obvious.
 

Lazy journalism.

[LABILLBACKER]

It's really difficult taking Bucky seriously considering what a horrible football player he was. And as others said it just doesn't matter. Turn off the noise and let the season begin.

Agreed.  And this whole thing may be scripted by TV and force Bucky yo say what he said

It'll get clicks from angry Bills fans and that's what journalism/talking heads have come down to.

Man, Aaron Rodgers is getting enough reach rounds this morning. He should be good for a year.

Does he even follow the team at this point?

[Bubba Gump]

Mooch, Frelund and Warner pick the Bills. Eisen, Drew (I think) and the Crackhead take the Jets. They seem to think Rodgers is gonna be the reason the Jets make the playoffs and the Bills don't. Gonna take a lot more than that gas sniffing wacko to get them there. 

[oldmanfan]

Last night I was listening to a show with Starks and Lance Medow.  Almost turned it off because Medow to me is an annoying twerp.  Anyway, they are talking about our last drive before OT and the twerp is asking Starks why we took a couple shots down the field instead of gaining a few more yards to give the kicker a shorter field.  And Starks comes up with a gem:  that it showed we had no faith in our kicker and that it was a further sign of dissension on the team.

 

Well.  Max, did it occur to you that they took a shot or two downfield to win, knowing that if it didn’t work they had complete faith in their kicker from 50 yards?  A faith that was jystified?
 

The incessant need to fill 24/7 radio with guys to spout off opinions is either hysterically funny or ridiculous.  Not sure which.

[ngbills]

I dont know about lack of faith in our K but both those play calls were dumb. 

[BBFL]

😂

6>3

Win>Tie/OT

[EasternOHBillsFan]

Jets talking heads on TV now going absolutely bonkers, and Mangini heads up the list. In what universe does a team as talented as ours lose a non divisional game to the 2023 Raiders at home? They are 1-0 but seriously, they beat the Broncos by 1 point.

 

The line is -8.5 for a reason, and I hope that the Bills come out and crush the Raiders... not just to prove him wrong but to get back on track and for the mental health of the team.
