Guest Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Quite honestly, if he truly had those hopes for this season, he would have hired a coach with a known track record and one with experience. I don't believe it. Besides, his moves, many, many of them have fallen short. So regardless of whether or not he has a plan, his judgement on players sucks.

Guest Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The other flag is that there is no power running game as promised. And Lee Evans' big play this season so far has been a recovered fumble. Not why I remember we drafted him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 I was honestly shocked at how he came over, shook myhand and just BS'ed. He was very straight forward. the fact he looked me in the eyes the entire time impressed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 I don't know. Again he looked at the TBD Tailgate tag that had my name on it and kinda gave me this "is he going to get the red ass with me" look on his face.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 "I honestly think he is trying hard to get this turned around." Did you REALLY think he wasn't? I have doubts about a number of things with this team, but that's not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I don't know. Again he looked at the TBD Tailgate tag that had my name on it and kinda gave me this "is he going to get the red ass with me" look on his face.... 33016[/snapback] Wait a minute, Is this the private ten minute meeting one-on one that you had with TD that you referenced Monday? or was it the meeting myself and 4 other people from TBD witnessed at 10:25 am adjacent to the Bills store? Because we were waiting in line to get some gear and we saw TD walking towards the stadium / Admin offices around that time and Randy (the big guy calling the numbers out at the raffle) and myself stepped out of line and shook hands with him and wished him good luck. He pressed on and then we saw you coming from the parking lot area in a half jog, and yes, there was a witness, but you had left him in the dust. As we recall, your meeting was rather short, certainly not ten minutes, but I know I did try to capture the moment for you because you two did look like bookends with the silver hair. Unfortunately the camera takes about 45 seconds to go from off to ready. By the time it charged up, I couldnt get the two of you in the same shot. I hope he really means that we are close, because I don't think he has much of a long leash if this team doesn't jell sooner rather than later.

jester43 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 ice...awesome post...i am really sorry i missed out on hanging with you guys last weekend. i would love to have seen that conversation, or had one of my own... i bumped into butler after the famous "RJ-slices-the-colts-to-ribbons-and earns-the-start-vs.-tenne." game. he was super nice but he wasn't as interested in talking football as he was in hitting on my girlfriend. ah well, we were all in a great mood that day...

ROCCEO Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I heard that both he and Aussie admitted they've never seen the Bills win when they come to Buffalo. We may have to ban both of them from future Tailgates just for that reason. 32888[/snapback] Nor have I, but thankfully I only have tickets to Arizona and Seattle this year(which is a road game so it shouldn't count).

John from Riverside Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Did he say anything about me Did he say anything about me..... Just kiddin....yeah... I agree about Kelsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 ICE, did he say "all the way from Tulsa?" because it said you were from Tulsa on your nametag? Or did you just tell him you were from Tulsa? If he knew you were from Tulsa via spending time on TBD, he should probably be fired now. This coming from a HUGE TD supporter (me) .... I'm confused.

Reminds me of the DirectTV commercial with guy falling from the sky and DTV guy is begging for him to wake up. So in this case TD keeps a firm grasp of Brians hand to keep pleading "Wake up man wake up" or was that JRosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did speak, and it may have been more than just "good luck Tom", but the whole thing was a minute or two, and there were frequent interruptions by other fans. I am just glad that TD is aware that we are all fans and are all interested in the Bills season, THIS season not long term 5 year plans. I am also glad that the GM is aware that we as fans will call him out if he pulls boneheaded moves or wastes draftpics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
