Lol, because of arguing every point I continued (believe it or not) to try and find a common ground?

Here's the thing. I knew this from the get - which is why I tried keeping everything from a Bills point of view going back to my initial posts 10 pages ago...
The other side of the coin is no fun.
When we hired Rex, everyone (including myself) was excited. 
He was gonna fight for the everyman and said all the right things. 
Hook, line, and sinker. 
By nature this league is full of retreads and your only as good as your last accomplishment due to the what have you done for me lately attitude of the league. 
Jets fans warned Bills fans that the antics get old and after a while he's left with his **** in his hand looking like a fool.
It's human nature to get excited about your team as you naturally get excited and jazzed about new exciting things.
I didn't wanna heed some jets fans warning. 
I didn't care what he did in N.Y. bc this is now. 
That said, I totally got where jets fan is coming from and although more often than not history repeats itself jets fan can only speak to what happened with the Jets.
Maybe the disappointment wouldn't have stung so muchhad I have listened- but that was then and Rex was here now. 
Fresh start.
Point being, everything jets fan said happened.
Now, there was no way to know from the get. Things started out promising and didn't really get BAD until yr #2. 
All those things jets fan said would happen did.
I couldn't get mad or salty with jets fan bc even though this is my coach, he had just lived it and all those things happened in N.Y..
Jets fan wasn't salty we had their old coach.
Just explaining what went south then, and the spin was what actually went down. Not what I would read on espn, si, or whatever national outlet.
Same situation but vice versa with the Fitz meltdown.
They thought they had the second coming that 1st yr with him.
The 2nd yr, he went right back to same ol Fitz and the warnings from bills fans to jets fans became true.

I can't argue with jets fan why rex didn't work in ny. 
Nationally, his shtick wore thin and he was hung out to dry...
There was a lot more going down behind the scenes..

In the end, like I said I was just giving a rundown of what happened in BUF bc people didn't know.
At 1st w/md and later w Doug.
Some posters here took issue like I was insulting their guys when truth be told - I can't tell the future... so I can only speak to the past. There's no reason someone should get on my case because I dare to speak as to what happened when someone was here. 
It was almost like a couple posters refused to acknowledge their new toy COULD be flawed. That's not an insult, but yet I got back this Buff has bad coaches, screw things up crap.... I didn't get the holier than thou thing. As mentioned earlier, neither franchise is cream if the crop so why act all big headed about it to me? Just seemed like picking a fight. For what? Bc someone told you how it was IN BUFFALO? People were asking why he was traded. I gave an answer. And boom, now people start jumping on the Bills and aimed it at me.
It came off as overly defensive (and in turn turned offensive).
I think marrone would have been different here if he had a bit smaller headand try to run the whole show. He didn't let the gm do his thing and didn't stick to what he was hired to do - coach.
You guys have TC, who seems like he wouldn't deal with the ego and in turn I'd guess wouldn't have gone alone w him if he didn't know his place. I'd also guess that his fall from grace knocked him down a peg.... but again, I'm not down there so you'd know better than I.
That's the only thing I personally took issue with. 
Don't tell me how things were with my team. You can think you know what went down and naturally it'll get spun a way that makes you happy. Whatever ya gotta tell yourself type thing.
That doesn't actually mean that's how it went down.
This fleece talk bugged me as well. 
With marrone, DM was late 25- 30x before he was suspended for a qtr. The very next Monday after the game he was late again!
Anyone could have had the guy. Any team at all. Jags decided to go big or go home. Good for them, it could really pay off.
They just happened to be the team who stood up and took a chance....so I'm not sure how that's fleecing someone. 
Which...kinda brings everything full circle.
Have a good night folks
