Buffalo media better lay into the FO

[trapezeus]

The Buffalo media better start ripping into Ralph wilson and russ brandon for creating such a pathetic state of affairs. I want answers from these guys. i don't want bs, PR answers. I want answers to:

1. do you feel responsible that even second rate coordinators don't want the job?
2. Don't you think it's odd that money doesn't even talk to big time coaches?
3. Do you think maybe it's the actual organization thatyou've structured that makes people laugh at this fanbase?
4. Can you please clarify what is happening to the team AR? Clearly that is impacting people's views on buffalo
5. Do you find it disgraceful that in a weak WNY economy that you would take this much money year after year and provide such a worthless, useless Piece of **** team?

And to be fair, the ***** bills should answer these questions.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to sent a list like this (although, to be fair we'd need to clean it up a little) to the three sports anchors and maybe the News. I wouldn't send it to Sullivan because he can be so insulting nobody would listen. Questions 1 and 2 are the ones I'd really like to pose.

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

we can try to add pressure and try and force the franchise to admit how badly they are screwing everything up


but in the end Ralph is not going to do anything. He would have by now if he had that intention

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

at least the crooked Bank Ceo's went to congress and took their tongue lashings like men. The bills front office scurries away like rats once the season ticket money is tallied and they take their Toronto allotment and TV money.

Cowards. Each and every one of them.

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

One question the media should be asking both Nix and Wilson - why are Guy and Modrak (apparently) surviving the staff purge? And that should be tied with an observation (by the reporter) regarding the numerous drafting and personnel failures of the last decade.

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

Jerry Sullivan has been doing a good job speaking his mind about the Bills situation. he's been spot on with a lot of his criticism.

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

but sullivan doesn't get in their faces. he just vents like the rest of us. i want answers as to why they think this is worth it anymore. they clearly just like raping us of our cash. they've abused our trust for years. We demand answers! I don't want them hiring a coach right now. i want to hear them answer tough questions about how they have been useless. it's not about everyone else. it's about these guys in particular. every decision they make is the wrong one. yet they fire and keeping hiring hoping this time its different.

He's right on about 70% of the time but once in a while he misses completely. Yesterday he was harping on a franchise quarterback. While I agree we need an upgrade, my guess is that without good tackles Dan Marino would have looked terrible here.

The other point is that Sullivan can be so abrasive that the criticism doesn't reach the ears of those who need to hear it.....they just tune him out.

JMHO

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

Completely agree Trap.... kiss ass guys like john Murphy never call these guys out, the only guy who does is jerry Sullivan and he gets bashed by ignorant fans cause they ask why he bashs and is so negative? uhhh maybe 10yrs of losing and being paid to write about it does that to u

how come Russ never does a press conferance or Modrak or Guy the 3 losers directly responsible for the last 2-3yrs of this organization
even WGR55 schop and the bulldog constantly say there is no accountablitiy for this organization

Hell they didnt even have a press conferance to announce Skeletor being fired
come on

He's almost always spot on. People hate him because what he says is so true but nobody can admit it or step up and agree.

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

An interesting opinion...

How does it effect us if they try to move Lynch?

The allegations against Lynch are interesting. Both alleged victims wanted to wait to bring these allegations to the light....The media obliged by flaming Marshawn....

Not sure how much it hurts us, but if I am watching as a member of the NFL community, I will say that it definitely didn't help that:

1. We continue to have problems with Lynch, that obviously aren't being addressed at OBD.

2. If, unlike many judgmental posters, I read the follow-ups (on the back page of course) that the accusers are possibly full of s#$t. Then I start wondering if the community kind of crucifies the players because they are big fish in a small pond. I also question the media's committment to "breaking news," as opposed to accurate news, and question their damage control after the story kind of broke down.

Either way, I, personally, would be forced to ask myself if I want to get wrapped up in this s##t-storm.

I am not saying this is the only deal breaker, but did it help? Do we need help diminishing our chances?

I refuse to use Marino as an example, due to his douchedom. I will say Manning.

Manning wouldn't look terrible here. He would not look as good, but he would not look terrible. Our QB situation is bad.

I like Brohm, but he has confidence issues (admitted) I think confidence is the #1 quality in an NFL QB. Maybe he isn't broken completely, but I bet that Manning has never had confidence issues. Please don't confuse with ****iness.

That being said about Brohm, who I feel is the only one that is worth a dam, and that is because of physical ability, and lack of exposure. It could be the same thing after a year under center. This is where a coach comes in...

I was really pushed for time yesterday when i posted - let me phrase this as a hypothetical question to either Wilson or Nix.

"Given the poor results we've all seen on the field resulting in failures from drafting and scouting, and the direct connection between those poor results and the numerous losing seasons the team and the fans have experienced for a full decade, what is your justification in keeping both Guy and Modrak on the payroll, especially when the rest of the staff has been fired?

"Additionally, do you feel that keeping both of these individuals on the payroll may, in part, be adding to the numerous difficulties we've seen in recent days recruiting a top-quality head coach for the Bills?"

Re: Buffalo media better lay into the FO

The only downside may be that it would make this job less appealing than it already does. If the local media is piling on, I don't think its going to help our coaching search.
