BillsNYC Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Then you're not a real Bills fan. I remember last year when everybody here in NYC was angry when the Giants started winning after a rough start because they wanted Coughlin fired. They wanted their team to lose. Look how that turned out. I don't think this changes anything, Brandon and Jauron should be gone, but if you weren't rooting for the Bills to win at the end, then you're not a true Bills fan. GO BILLS!!! Great Xmas present, playoffs would have been better, but I'll take this win for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Pretty entertaining game! before the game I admit if they lost I wouldnt care cause of draft picks, but......I found myself getting into the game more and more and more, by the 4th I was my usual self, screaming my head off!

UConn James Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm happy that we should now be out of the range of insane guaranteed bonus $ for rookies.

Slack_in_MA Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm upset the Bills won. It's not that I'm angry or sad about it. Just confused. Upset or confused? Face it. The Bills were an average team this year. Before the season started, did you really think they would be a playoff team this year? I certainly didn't. Then they rip off a bunch of wins against what turns out were marginal opponents. They'll end up 7-9 or 8-8. We're just all upset with the way they got there. But at least they aren't laying down and mailing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 They fought to win last week...they just didn't win. IMO, they outplayed the Jets last week. If not for one of the dumbest play calls of the season, followed up with completely piss poor all around execution, we would have won that game.

Do you disagree with that? It seems like you are trying to make a different point. The point is, the administration will point to this win as a "fact" that Jauron can get this team to "play hard," when all the evidence of the previous 7 weeks says otherwise. It was a pyhrric victory. Nice that they won, but in the long run, most likely counter-productive. One thing, though. Steve Johnson is the real deal, and they NEED to lock the man up.

Nyghtewynd Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 And if you're excited about a meaningless win that does nothing but hurt the Bills' draft picks next year and possibly helps Ralph's case to save money by keeping Jauron, then you're part of the problem and not the solution.

Not enjoying a win, or deciding to not acknowledge a team's effort because it might be misinterpreted by the administration, is frankly a game I can't play. The Bills played well last week, and lost (due in large part to Jauron/Turk). The Bills played well today and won. There was room for improvement in both games. But, based on the season, I don't think they should keep Jauron based on some late-season efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't get that, at all. It's quite simple. Brandon has no real world experience to be a NFL GM. His de-facto promotion does not address the issue of this team not having the talent evaluators on par with franchises like NE and MIA. I am not advocating the recruitment of a Cowher, Schottenheimer, or similar big name individual for the position. I will say that there exists a huge void within the front office, and Brandon is not the solution. Expecting RB to successfully negotiate the rough and tumble world of NFL personnel is akin to asking your garbageman to handle PR for their company. His previous marketing experience is not a qualifier for handling personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of being a sports fan, is being excited when your team wins. If you can't manage to cough up some temporal happiness after a win, I think maybe you should consider if you are actually a fan. Having a short period of happiness doesn't make one dismiss the reality of the situation, once the short-term euphoria of a victory wears off. But, while I don't know you, I suspect if you can't manage to enjoy a victory, you might be one miserable SOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
