Original Byrd Man Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The proof is in the pudding: Eagles: 7 playoff appearances, 5 NFC Title games, 1 SB in 10 seasons Bills: 1 postseason, 0 AFC Title games, 0 SB in 10 seasons. Every darn team in the league whiffs on select personnel moves. The Eagles do it far less, and as a result are in the post-season more often. The Eagles wanted Peters, and this was mentioned by none other than Andy Reid himself. They remember him from scouting one of the Andrews brothers at Arkansas. Had Bills front office read the stitches on the fast ball, they'd have realized this and held off to get more for him. Go on trying to destroy everyone who says Buffalo failed, but if you'd rather trust a team with 6 less playoff appearances than Philly's in the last decade so be it. If Reid wanted him so bad why didn't he sign him as an undrafted FA like the Bills did??? Hind sight is such a wonderful thing. I was going to bet the house on Pitsburg winning the superbowl in 09. I bet Andy would have too! Ha! Ha! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 IMO this is a very “the glass is half empty” time for the Bills organization: We have not sniffed the playoffs in nine years. Everyone in the league knows our coach should have been fired last year but remains because he was given an extension too early. Our front office can’t select a good janitor much less scout football talent Speaking of the front office they completely bungled the Jason Peters deal…time will tell if the trade offers benefits to the Bills but for now the organization seems to be cheap and bumbling. Speaking of the above we continue with the history of swapping one player for another while making no progress … Johnson for Flutie … Losman for Johnson … Edwards for Losman …. Magahee for Henry … Lynch for Magahee it goes on and on. The point is the team has not learned to draft well and do FA acquisitions well. The most recent glory period of the franchise is now becoming a distant memory. A PR guy is running the front office – we will have to see how he spins yet another losing season as the ingredients of a winning one are not on the table. What do you think? *We "sniffed" the playoffs a few time- our QB and line let us dowm *No he shouldn't- his organization is the only reason we managed to win 7 games with our dearth of talent *They can select talent, but it takes more than that- it has to fit together somehow *The Eagles know what they are doing- he will thrive in their zone blocking scheme *Agreed on player swapping *Everyone already realizes that *The PR guy is just doing his job when he does that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
