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

This is what I have been saying since the "postponement" announcement.
Toronto has no interest in Buffalo Bills games in Toronto.Comment

Re: Toronto series officially canned
It is just an example of him making money for the owner. I would think it is much more likely to happen if the Toronto series didn't make money.Originally posted by WagonCircler View PostComment

Re: Toronto series officially canned
Well either way, now that the team is staying in Buffalo long-term we needed to cut that cord. It was a bull**** decision to begin with.Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View Posthttp://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Toronto series officially canned
NFL owners make plenty of money without screwing their fans over by watering down their product by ****ing their fans out of home games. And Terry P knows that.Originally posted by mightysimi View Post

Re: Toronto series officially canned
$80MM over 5 years of the deal the first time, and he ***** renewed it with popular backlash, no one coming to the games, not helpful to the team, and presumable at a much bigger discount the second time around.
the only way it was helpful was if those few toronto tickets ended up as future season ticket holders.
he did it as a hedge to keep the toronto contingent buyers active, and take them for some money. it did not help the team.
there is zero defense of this move and even less so the second time he did it.Comment
