Incoherent ramblings about a stupid team name....Bills

The Buffalo Bills.  Named after Buffalo Bill.  Their mascot is a Buffalo, however, and not a Bill.  I bet the fans were pissed when they announced that crap.  Imagine if the Colts left Baltimore and became the Indiana Joneses.  Then, when they played, the announcers could say, "Everyone is trying to keep up with the Joneses."  But they didn't, so they don't. But Buffalo did.  A stupid name. Tennessee could have made their name the  "Tennessee Williams."  However, since Williams is the formal name for Bills, they probably went with Titans.  It would be stupid to have the Williams and the Bills playing for the AFC title.  I mean, they put an animal on the side of their helmet because the name of their city shares that name.  Probably had the great grandson of the same visionary who named Buffalo, NY.  name the team:  "What will we call this city, near Niagra Falls and Canada?"  I will call it Buffalo, because I seen a buffalo here once."  Hey, Mr. Visionary, did it ever occur to you that you might have a pro football team one day and if you name the city after an animal then you have nothing intelligent to call the team's mascot?   However, Phoenix could have done the same thing when the Cardinals were called the Pheonix Cardinals, but then they would have a mythical bird and a very common bird as mascots.  If you used Google Thesaurus, however, you would realize that they would actually be the Firebird Redbirds.  That is probably why they switched to Arizona.  Of course, (back to the Bills) if you wanted to call them the Buffaloes, would the Buffalo Buffaloes be any dumber than the Buffalo Bills?  I don't think so.  That, my friends, is how you lose 4 consecutive Super Bowls.

Last weekend at NC Music Factory I got talking to a Bills fan from Buffalo that starting talking junk to me about the Panthers. He said that he doesn't understand why we like our team and that no one in the nation knows who Cam Newton is except for ppl in NC. I had a few drinks and was not shy in telling him that no one on his entire team is known to anyone outside Buffalo. Also added that the Bills have sucked forever but he still stays loyal so why shouldn't we to our team? He finally had to admit that they suck and would not give any comment on our up and coming game against them. Get so sick of ppl moving here only to down what is now their new home team.

You should have told him to eat a bag of dicks and move back to his shitthole town if he loves the bills so much.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
