    The "R" Word

    By Mark Weiler, Bills Report
    Things appear to be a bit tentative in Buffalo these days. If you ask varying groups of fans on one hand for the upcoming season the Bills are expected to compete. Some are expecting all things to click perfectly. Others are more wisely aware that in all likelihood, everything will not go exactly as planned and foretold by a seemingly overconfident coaching staff and GM. Many factors can alter a season for better or worse.

    It is partly understandable that the front office wants to hype the team for the upcoming season. Afterall, no one wants to see less than a full boat for each home game. The fans are unarguably an integral part of home field performance, particularly in Buffalo. As was pointed out in my last piece however, there are certainly issues associated with over-hyping the team.     ...

      Just finished reading the article.

      I don't get the same feeling of the team being hyped. Yea, I'm optimistic and would love to see Mularkey get the team to 9 or 10 wins. I also know that this coming year will be a transition. I think we will be disappointed if they don't win at least 6.

      More importantly, we'll all be disappointed if the guys don't give it their all every game.

        I do see some of the hype. I mean Sam Wyche saying drew still has all the tools when he hasn't played decent in about 5 years. That to me was over hype. I have not seen Malarkey hype anything but saying that we are going to be a run first team. We have all heard that for 3 years. I will believe it when I see it. I think people need to get off Marks back and remember that while he writes these columns and does use all fact. Much is his opinion. we are all entitled to our opinion here, or last I knew at least

          Nothing wrong with opinion but how many times can you write the same thing?

          He's all negative

            Sam Wyche has been in the NFL and is well respected and has faith in his capabilities that's not over-hype.

                I don't think so. I see him as a realist. He also said the D was a solid unit last year with the RDE being the only very large need we need to fill. That is not a negative comment. I have seen many people here say the same thing. How is he being negative? He is trying to keep the hype to a min. and I have to say I agree with him to an extent. Too many people think that MM and TC and SW have some magic wand that is going to fix Drews play and that is just being over optimistic and I know you would agree CP.

                      Wyche maybe a respected coach but when you go and say a player that hasnt played consistently well in 5 seasons is due I think its overhyping it abit.

                        He thinks he can do it so to him it's not over-hype maybe to us it is.

                          Well Williams said he could make this team a playoff team and that now seems lile hype. I think we as fans have a certain right to be questioning what our new coaches are saying after all the broken promises of the last regime.

                            Like I said to us it may be hype but to them they don't see themselves failing, nor should they.
