Lets be real, I'm PRETTY SURE - infact I'm positive!!! That I said if thats not how this occured, tell me! You'd know!!! Right after contributing my speculation, the next thing I wrote was my take based on the limited amount of Jags slanted articles Ive read maybe not be what actually happend. 
The fact you simply illustrated my point of the ignorance is simply maddening!!!
Heres the score- some folks here contribute an incorrect take that isnt opinion and non debatable while making fun of the Bills.
With no sarcasm and totally good heartedness, Set the record straight in a respectful manner offering an explanation and insight.
In turn, im told im crazy,wrong, and my franchise is pathetic.
I make essentially the exact same statement but reverse to prove my point - and you come along and correct me... Which I knew would happen.
I made a statement on how the Jags came to be and am immediately corrected lol. I'd hope someone would tell me how it was just as I'd hope you'd at least hear me out with a Bills take. Its asinine in a sense
So now, this select few are experts on both the Jags and the Bills? And I'm supposed to take this seriously? This is a complete crap show.

Like I've said before, some great dudes/women on here. But of the 20 or so boards I visit when my team plays them this is far and away the most unwelcoming. 
I have a feeling it would have been in years past - but a half season of success seems to have gone to a few of your heads. Thats cool, enjoy it. I wish my team looked like yours do... but act like you've been there before.


Do you think I just magically showed up and started trying to troll you folks?
If the answer is yes - well - this is why things have gotten the way they have bc thats certianly not the case.
Do you not see the goading thats taken place simply because I'm a fan of another team? If not, your a bigger homer than the rest of them!
Bottom line is, I'm not going to sit here and listen to Jags fans tell me whats right and wrong with my football team like they are in tune with the situation when really they are off base and just simply egging me on. 
Having conversations with opposing teams is such a great thing because it is a great educator to how people think and whats going on around the league. 
I think is crazy over on the skins board there are people that actually dont like cousins. The rest of the league seems to, but unless you REALLY like football you arent going to watch every skins game to understand and see what their issues are.  Thats when the hometeam insight is helpful. 

I've been humble, I've admitted when I've been incorrect, I've been insightful, and I've been informative. When poked, I've poked back. I cant help you take offense to me sticking up for myself to another poster. If you've got something that adds to conversation with out being insulting - i invite you to contribute.
But dont call me out and then be a hypocrite less than 2 sentences later.

PS, isnt the entire point of the reputation for essentially 'liking' when someone offers a quality take? I'd say thats not a half bad way to measure what someone has to offer. I've hit quite a few rep buttons for good posts i found interesting or informative. Seems like thats kinda the point....

I'm trying to understand through all your jabs. I'll admit, most of your stuff is just too long to read, and I'm sure you've made some good points along the way. It seems you type these novels just to say you are okay with the Bills starting from the bottom again and building through the draft. No? You like the direction of the front office because winning hurts draft position? If so, that's a lot of hope placed in drafting well, and that's been very sporadic for a while. Going to take a while to build a core, add from the draft and supplement from F.A. You don't find it maddening that this nonsense has been going on for a while and just when you start to get core guys, they are chased away? What about the necessity to groom young players? It feels like the front office is deciding like they're playing Madden. You're okay with possibly another five years or more of rebuilding while begging older, overpaid castoffs to field a team?

Anyways, I'm done posting in here. This thread topic appears to have run its course.

The Bills are genuinely "blowing it up" and rebuilding with no foundation. Going to be painful.

Yes sir, we are on the same page. The excitement (and og course no one can tell the future) is simply this pair have a way about them and a thought process that from what we are privy too - they wont stray from the plan. The last 5+ years have simple been hole plugging with no regard to fit/style/attitude and I guess thats ok, but its been done to essentially avoid a rebuild and be worried about losing their jobs. Personally, I'm excited that for the 1st time since 87 that outside noise wont play a factor and this tandem will be given the opportunity to see through what they started.  No guarantees I'll work, but they have managed to make their predecessors look like bumbling idiots in their short time here. Sort of in the sense we didnt know how bad they were at the time but now that we see how different it can be - it shines a light on how badly 'Club Rex' was run. As you guys speak to how things have changed down there, its kinda the same idea.  Totally different attitude and demeanor.
I do very much like your Madden assessment. I think its neat that now we are starting to get the generation of us who grew up playing Madden and as a result the younger GMs seem to be bucking the trend of no/minimal trades. Personally, I hope it ushers in a era similar to the NHL trade deadline. Maybe some folk dont like that, but thats just my opinion/view
