  3. PA was right: the Terry Pegula press conference thread.

    Questions not asked that I would have.

     

    "Did you have any discussions with players?"

     

    "Explain why you and your wife spoke to Tim Murray separately?  How does Kim's input go into the decision process?"

     

    "Months back the Sabres organization surveyed season ticket holders and among the questions asked was how likely are you to renew. Did those answers stem, even in a small way, the decision to make a change?"

    To my fellow posters I apologize, this article is raw meat for PA

    How long has there been a "fire Bylsma" thread here? How about a thread questioning Murray? The owner does what we want and he's the bad guy. I feel bad for the Pegulas because all they wanted is to do something nice for the "long suffering fans of WNY" and all they get in return are people s##ting on them.

     

    Terry should just sell the teams to owners that would move them far away. It's the only way to end this madness.

    So you think that article "verifies" your statement? Vic Carucci rattling off a long list of DW mistakes, and then saying that he (Vic, not anyone else) thinks two good DW moves are the kind of moves that earn awards for GMs?

     

    Maybe the headline that says "Whaley Executive of the year candidate? Believe it!" makes my point better than yours. And Doug doesn't need my tickets. Terry lets him use the team box.

     

    Stop flailing, NF.

    He's in his ear. Pegula needs hockey people to make the hockey decisions. Pegula should concentrate on being a fan. All this team has done since he bought it is spin its wheels.

    Even though no one can cite one example of Brandon involved in a hockey decision. But I did read that Russ Brandon sneaks in and dulls the skates of mite hockey players that play between periods because he's jealous of how popular they are with fans.

    Like any GM, he gets credit for his good moves and criticism for his poor ones -- but most of all, he, like every GM, is accountable for W-L results, because his job is to produce a winning team. He's failed.

    You realize he was considered for GM of the year about a year ago?

     

    So let's go with you for argument sake. Assuming he survives post-draft and the Bills make the playoffs, will he be a success or still a failure?

    It's pretty well settled that drafting EJ was DW's call. Nice one, there.

     

    DW also had the rest of the 2013 offseason -- i.e. free agency deciding on the roster, etc.

     

    If you pin EJ on Whaley does he get credit for trading down and getting Kiko Alonzo?

     

    Why not blame Whaley for the whole 17 years?

    It means that someone can post stories they've heard about RB and describe them as stories they've heard.  That's all that's happened -- plus someone else weirdly getting on a high horse and being fairly obnoxious about it.

     

     

     

    No.  Whaley has been the GM for 4 (awful) seasons.  His records were 6-10, 9-7, 8-8 and 7-9.

     

    Are you saying that the team president and the GM are not accountable for the team's performance?  Really?

     

    While RB may have participated in negotiating the lease, there is NFW that the decision to make it economically very difficult to move the team came from anyone other than Ralph. 

     

     

    From Wikipedia:

    Whaley was named assistant general manager and Director of Pro Personnel of the Buffalo Bills on February 10, 2010. Whaley oversaw the team's Pro Personnel department and assisted General Manager Buddy Nix in all football-related administrative duties and in the college talent evaluation process until Nix stepped down from the general manager position on May 13, 2013. Whaley became Buffalo's GM three days later.

     

    Whaley has been GM three seasons. That's a fact.  Ralph was in ill health when Brandon did the lease and not involved with the team day-to-day. That's also a fact.  If you want to start making up your own, then I'm not debating you.

    His involvement in football operations stretches back further than this;   When Levy left he assumed the post of GM - and was responsible for the horrible Nix/Gailey era of fail.  

     

    The last thing Pegula should have been doing was extending Brandon's tendrils throughout his nascent sports empire - why on earth name a guy with zero hockey experience as Sabres President?  Especially a guy with a long history of horrible football decisions?

     

    Well if you believe Terry Pegula, Brandon's area is strictly sales and revenue, not hockey or football operations.
