Atlanta Braves = Buffalo Bills...

Posted By RobG

Can someone explain to me how it is possible that the Buffalo Bills are laughed at and ridiculed for going 0-4 at the SuperBowl, but the Atlanta Braves, who are 1-9 in POST SEASON play are still considered among the best franchises in Baseball?
If ANYTHING, Atlanta has proven that they are INCREDIBLE choke artists! They have had superior pitching and hitting in almost ALL of those 9 years and they still only put together one series win!

This year they bowed out 3 straight to St. Louis! And yet where are the jokes? Where are the comments? Everyone was ready to slag Buffalo for their loses even though they made it 4 times to the Superbowl.

I find it very unusual, and it irks me how a team that was as good as Buffalo was is treated so poorly, while this classic "choke" team is treated by America as their "sweethearts."

If Atlanta wants to win (and they should have done this LONG ago) they need to get rid of Cox. Obviously he is a great regular season manager who just can't motivate in the playoffs. Either that, or they need to shake the team up and try to infuse someone whose blood will boil come playoff time.

3 straight. Unbelievable.

P.S.: If anyone is curious I am a BIG Blue Jay fan... hate the Braves, and the Yankees for that matter.

P.P.S.: On the OFF chance that someone from Bills management (or who is close to Bill's management) is reading this... GIVE FLUTIE A FREAKING START BEFORE THE WHOLE SEASON IS LOST!!!

Thank-you.
