I think Pegs needs to (frank) right off back to PA and keep his grubby hands out of anything involving the teams that isn't signing a check.

We have a hoovering, meddling owner who micro-manages everyone under his iron curtain.

I said a few weeks ago the entire Harbor Center is a toxic environment. Buffalo39 basically confirmed that in this thread.

It all starts from the top, down. Pegula has influence simply because of being a billionaire, imagine the glass and eggshell floors everyone is walking on over there?

It's like this: The GM is a Richard to the assistant GM, who is then a Richard to the Supervisor, who is a Richard to the team lead, who is then a Richard to his workers, who are then miserable (frank)s to each other and anyone within their line of sight.

People see this, they're miserable as a result. Everyone blaming the GM, and the coach, and the players, and the injuries and the contracts and all signs lead right back to good ol' Uncle Terry Pegs and his right hand man, Russell Brandon.

Sabres need a billionaire owner now more then ever. The key bank center is vacant. The fan base is diminished. That's when teams move. We're not going anywhere

Help me out here, correct me if I got this wrong.

Mario lemieux - rapist?
Terry pegula - meddling piece of garbage who is an enabler and the worst owner in the league.
Jack eichel - drunk with terrible parents.
Carey Price - pedophile

Kinda of embarrassing if you ask me, maybe ya'll should find some other hobbies.

Oh, I will go on record saying I wanted GMTM and to a lesser extent, Bylsma to get another year. I also wanted Rex Ryan to get another year.

2 years is much too short of a time to evaluate long-term success. You need at least 3 to shape your roster, refine your system and execute your vision.

Rex Ryan had a .500 record in Buffalo, had the team competing and NOT GETTING BLOWN THE (frank) OUT and badly wanted to be here and WIN here. He bought in to Buffalo 100%. That is what I want in a coach. That said, if he's sitting at 5-5 right now like the Bills currently are, he'd for sure be fired but a 1st year coach gets a pass on literal idiotic coaching decisions so far. Rookie HC or not, he went from a savior to a fool real quick.

With GMTM, his 'vision' was moving forward, albeit slowly. The entire team tuned out their coach, who obviously in hindsight WAS THE RIGHT COACH FOR THIS TEAM because he knew their limitations and tried to get them to play system hockey, which they didn't want to play last year and so far this year, they clearly cannot grasp system hockey or still refuse to play it.

How many people hired and fired since Pegula bought the teams? How many people being paid to not work for him? How many times he's gone back on his word?

Lindy ain't going nowhere. Regier? What's he done wrong? Rolston. LaFonatine? Ted Nolan? Tim Murray? Dan Bylsma? Doug Whaley. Doug Marrone (who is currently guiding THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS TO A DIVISION TITLE yet THIS IS THE GUY PEGULA DIDN'T WANT TO PAY!?!?!?), Rex Ryan, the list goes on and on....

At what point is the guy a complete (frank)ing moron and not just trying to find the right people for the job?

Didn't Marrone take the 4 million $ clause in his contract that allowed him to cash out and leave if ownership changed. He quit ?

He asked for an extension, Pegula wanted him to play out his current contract with 1 year left, he took his out clause and said "Go (frank) yourself."

Literally.

Not quite sure if thats how it went down. Tpegs loves throwing big money at everyone, just not Doug Marrone? Doug had teen agers at the time and took the $ and spent time with his family. That's what I heard anyways. At some point he publicly regretted the way be left. The nfl didn't agree with the way he handled it and he rebounded as a o line coach. Basically a stepping stone job .

Jack is actually talented, that's unfortunately how professional sports work. He's still a center piece and franchise guy.
It's definitely easier to over look "the warts" when your gifted .

Good point bandit:
The bills were huge party guys. Again, their talent covered up the party life style. It really cost us in the superbowls.
It's the ol' boys network at its finest. Young guys having some fun ect. It does effect their jobs.

I'm not trying to act like I didn't get ripped up every night , I did. Especially when I was their age.
I let down quite a few employers. Difference was I was just a college kid, not letting down 1000's of fans and the community because of my party lifestyle. They could find another idiot to make $3.35 an hour to work at:
Topps, Freddies drug store, circuit city, office max, dahlkempers, hooters and highland superstores
I was replaceable- jack isnt, at this point anyways. The pegulas have put alot into securing him and now paying him.

I get it.

I just think the point some have made is that winning fixes everything. Vanek's compulsive gambling and Roy's whatever it was that he did, wear sandals and jeans? wasn't a big deal because the team was good.

You haven't heard that? I never said Mario was the rapist, he was just in the same hotel room in another bed. Quinn was actually arrested, but ultimately no charges were filed. Doesn't mean it didn't happen as we've seen lately women don't speak up for any number of reasons.

It really dosent take a genius to figure out that there is one common denominator between these two teams... and they are both a complete train wreak.
Pegula has no idea how to run a sports team, nevermind two of them.


Let’s face it right now he is the worst owner for either team... he saved them from leaving BIG deal. What he has done since is much worse, he’s making the fans not give a damn about their team(s).
