AAAARRRGGHHH! Drury and Briere ~So What!

[Bufftp]

OK who cares about the two former Sabres. I am focused on the SABRES!
I believe tonight is the start of another great season! I for one am not going to waste energy on what two former Sabres do this year, bottom line is they never brought home the cup while here. I am rooting for the guys who have a shot at brining it home!

GO SABRES!

bottom line is they never brought home the cup while here.

Should the Bills have dumped Kelly and Bruce after the first 2 Super Bowls?

1. We couldn't do it with them and they continue to perform for other teams, and now we're suppsoed to do it without them with no significant additions? Please tell me you see the logical fallacy there, otherwise there is no point in continuing this discussion.

2. We had a shot at keeping at least one of them, and now instead of helping us, they're helping other teams. That's why you should care- what they're doing still affects the Sabres, only now it affects them negatively instead of positively.

The cry babys are out in full force.
Yeah, we kept Bruce and Jimbo, just to lose two more.

Answer the question.

And the bigger question is, were the players in both cases part of the problem or part of the solution?

Another: Is two seasons enough to judge whether anyone will ever win a championship? Good thing Manning and Elway and Yzerman's teams didn't think like that.

Re: AAAARRRGGHHH! Drury and Briere ~So What!

by the way Drury and Briere are NO Jim and Bruce!!!! Jim and Bruce are HOFers.. I highly doubt either Drury or Briere make the hall.

Re: AAAARRRGGHHH! Drury and Briere ~So What!

ah, just like the BZ- lose an argument to someone who's not a homer, and accuse them of being a crybaby. Way to be mature and encourage debate.

Re: AAAARRRGGHHH! Drury and Briere ~So What!

You know Op, the point is the Sabres as currrently constituted is playing.
We believe it will be a good team with potential.
We also believe that crying about Briere and Drury and what they do on their new teams is wasted energy, and well just foolish.
Do what you want. If rooting for our current team over weeping about a coupleof ex sabres makes us homers, than I am proud to be a homer.

Of course the incessant, non stop, woe is us, look how bad we are, yad yada yada yada negativity, is both mature and interesting reading.

yeah, go back and see the last time I posted anything about this- it's been months, and the new one was in response to NEW news on the subject (Drury and Briere's performances last night). Just because you say it's incessant doesn't make it so.

If you're rooting for your team, you should be concerned about moves that don't help them win, like losing Briere and Drury. This "We got worse- oh well" deal makes no sense if you're truly rooting for the team.

Homers don't lose arguments because they don't even argue. Nothing's an issue to them. Not a care in the world. Rah-rah-rah all the time.

More power to them. I'll never tell a homer to stop being a homer. I'll even buy them pom-poms.

But what's foolish is when homers try to engage in serious discussion, because their opinions are unquestionably determined by their biases. They need to just stick to cheerleading, because that's their place. If they don't like what the rest of us have to say, then they can either ignore it or have no one to blame but themselves for their irritation.
What's foolish is people who care more about crybabies' whining than what the team does. They say our whining changes nothing, but it's the whining where they direct their attention! If whining doesn't matter, when why care? Why post in crying threads? Why even respond, when you have two polar opposite points of view that will never be compatible? Why waste their time and ours?

For the record I have 0 argument with you and agree 100% that the team should have kept at least one if not both players and the fact that their loss will hurt.
