Funny how when Golisano leaves Darcy goes on a signing and trading spree?

Why is that funny? We all know that the purse strings have been thrown away but just because he spent to the cap doesn't mean he spent wisely. I'm not down playing the signings but if you're signing high dollar players you damn well know that they will work in your coaches system and with the current players.

We needed a PP QB. Ehrhoff was the answer, and he's doing decent.
We needed a stone wall D man. Regher was the answer, and we got him for a steal. He's doing decent.
Boyes was iffy, but we only spent a 2nd on him and his contract is up this year, and can be trade bait this year.
Leino was the only bad one, yet he was the only answer available to our center issue. That didn't work out, but he promised to be a center. Either way, if he gets it going, he'll be a good addition.

Darcy's done alright. It's certainly not his fault we suck.

Don't forget about the 4 year, $16 million dollar deal they signed offensive powerhouse Drew Stafford too. Also, what part of my post said ANY of those were bad signings???? I'm just saying that they do not seem to be fitting in with Lindy's systems since they haven't produced as expected. I'm curious to your explanation as to why these signings are not producing like they have in the past?


Why are our core players not producing like... Say... Last year???

I'll underline the answer for you.


Lindy's system is the reason the team is not performing well this year? The same system that they WERE performing well in last year? :think:

They really were not performing well last year either. Remember they were 30th around the same time last season. The only thing that turned them around was Pegula and the emotional boost they got about the purchase.

So last year they did not perform well playing Lindy's system, but then Mr. Pegula bought the team so they DID perform well (still under Lindy's system). Is that correct?

Yes but you like to conveniently leave out WHY they turned it around in the second half of the season and went on a massive winning streak. Emotions are a very strong thing. You take a struggling company that has very low morale and bring in a big company that makes all these great promises of better working condition, higher wages, a family atmosphere morale will skyrocket and production increases quickly.... That is exactly what we saw last season. Now they are hungover from the Pegula high and it showing whats wrong with this team

Lindy's system has been hurting the players a little bit over the years. Last year they sucked the first half but then they picked it up. I think with the new players his system has lost all effectiveness.
