You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

Re: No one giving us a chance
Did you know the Bills have never won in Chicago?
In all fairness, nobody is picking Cleveland either. -
Re: No one giving us a chance
the other thing picking the bills to lose is the point spread. at 6 points, its one of the highest spreads aside fromt he eagles jax game.
in my pickem pool, i had a really hard time not selecting the bears over the bills. everyone else did.Comment

Re: No one giving us a chance
Wow, 0-5 there. Last time in '06.Originally posted by Historian View Post
No, had no idea. Thanks for the heads up.
I just looked, we haven't won in Oakland either since we've been in the NFL. We beat the Raiders once in '91 in L.A., but never in Oakland.
0-6 there last time in '05. We play them on the road this year too.
We're 1-3 @ Detroit too with our win in '79.
I won't even mention Denver this season. Sounds like 4 L's.

Re: No one giving us a chance
Here's what I had to say on publishing my Survivor pool. Out of 20 players, ten picked Chicago and six took Philly.Originally posted by trapezeus View Post
Four survivors might luck out this week if the Eagles screw the pooch against the Jags and the Bears get lost on their way to Soldier Field against the Bills. Don’t hold your breath. There’s a better chance of being struck by lightning while cashing your winning lottery ticket with Elvis at the corner store.Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.Comment

Re: No one giving us a chance
Seems like a fair home opener line...the usual 3 for the home club, and I suppose the other 3 comes from BUF's poor offensive showing in the pre season.Originally posted by trapezeus View Post

Re: No one giving us a chance
As awful as they've looked in preseason and as much as my head is telling me they are going to suck this year, I'm still wicked excited about Sunday and can't wait going to the bar at 9:30 to watch the game.Originally posted by HurkeyNuts View PostComment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
