Simple... no free agency, drafted players tied to their team for life, and to REALLY tie them to teams they have to stay in team owned houses and shop only in team owned stores. Let's go back to the old days back when George Preston Marshall of the Redskins set the standard. 🧐

I never got to see the game winner in the 4 OT game vs. the Devils when Hannan scored and that classic call "THE SERIES IS GOING BACK TO WHERE JIMMY HOFFA IS!" I was up late late watching the CNN sports ticker to see the score and it stayed at 0-0 until after 2am. Nobody will understand that kind of dedication now... you either had the game on nationally, locally, or not at all in 1994. I did get to see the Plante OT goal vs. the Senators though.... at an airport bar in Charlotte, NC LOL

I don't think I have ever witnessed a hockey game more great than the Sabres/Senators game where Drury won it in OT... to me that was the Sabres at their best. BEST GAME EVER that I witnessed IMHO....

Don't pity us... the Sabres when Hasek played were just INSANE and those were some damn good years. Any assemblance of the old Sabres died in the Game 7 ECF against the Canes in 2006.

Good question! That's a consideration.... but if he's gradually being worked in, why not just say so instead of the avoidance?

F him... he chose poorly... now he can graze at home 😅

It's not panic LOL Geez man, you sound a lot more dramatic than I do with your word choices...

Yeah, I never bought into the fact that TG was driven off by TBD users... no matter, I'm not on Twitter to see what he says anyways!

Tre could just choose to retire and say he just can't do it anymore.... we don't know. Nobody wants an Andrew Luck situation when you invest a lot of time and money into a great player and then they snap their fingers and retire. It is a possibility though...

I'm not creating fake drama, I am just questioning the purpose of having a player active for three weeks only to not play and give no reason as to why.

No reason? Tom Brady made a terrible mistake relating the NFL to the military, but he was right about the toll it takes on you year after year grinding and grinding and being away from your family for months at a time with all of the drills and the inspections and deployments and preps for them. I spent 20 years of my life doing that military grind and it took a huge toll on me mentally... there came a point where I was mentally thinking more about what it would be like not doing this anymore and being home and having a normal role. I bear the scars of that service as I am now disabled, and sometimes I question if it was really worth it. That's the place where I come from on this... it is VERY tough to be committed to doing your job at a high level when you are questioning your involvement and how it affects your family, mental and physical health. It's from a position of understanding.

I sure hope so because the was Tre was talking earlier this year, he sounded like he really enjoyed the family time instead of the grind of the NFL. I just don't like the massive cloud around this situation and after Anquan Boldin and Vontae Davis we don't need another surprise... some honesty would be nice instead of the Belichick-like avoidance.

Marshawn was the Bills HB a few years ago, but he's still doing incredibly stupid things... so?

I don't like the fact that the Bills haven't cleared this up... it screams mental issues over the latter, because if they were merely holding him out for conditioning or the right time to return, they would have said so. It's as if they are hiding the truth, and I am BY FAR not a conspiracy guy.

If that's the case, then he needs to make a decision... a leave of absence for personal reasons and designated so we can keep the spot open and know WTH is going on or retire... this limbo status while being activated is completely unacceptable IMHO. If it is a matter of conditioning, THEN JUST SAY SO.

P R E A C H !

TG and JW were both unsuited for social media in which they are challenged... they simply don't react well to it at all. TBD isn't for everyone...

Because he's getting paid on a large extended contract and not playing despite being active for over two weeks. We could have given Poyer an extension and gotten someone in a spot but now his spot is being taken up and NOTHING is happening. It's not fair to do this in the middle of our season and just string the team along like this. If you want to retire, then just say so. If you want time off, take the time off under a designation and in either case we would understand. Enough with the damn mystery!

We need to know what TF is going on with that situation... something is not right. There is something mental going on with Tre and they aren't talking about it... they activated him 2 weeks ago and he's still not playing, so there you go.

What is ironic is that there are some people here that will sit on a high soapbox and rail on AB and crack jokes but then will choose people to govern them who are the same as AB.

I THINK you are missing all of the jokes and the sarcasm in this thread... just saying!

I'm not that guy either and today I don't think he was responsible for the loss, but yeah I am starting to get that feeling too.

Fair point on the being in sync for sure, but he could get at least some work in.

One a game isn't going to cut it. Cook I get because he's a rook and he needs development, but ***** Hines has to be plug and play by now.

We acquired Nyheim Hines two weeks ago and it was universally praised as a great addition to our team because of his experience and ability. Yet, here we are two games in and he has just TWO TOTAL TARGETS!!! Meanwhile, the 49ers acquire Christian McCaffery from the Panthers and he has made an IMMEDIATE impact. They actually *gulp* GET HIM TOUCHES AND UTILIZE HIM ON OFFENSE!!! I feel as if this is an utter failure by the Bills to take advantage of the skills of a player that they obviously coveted as Beane said in an interview that he had wanted him in Buffalo before. I do not know if it is McDermott or Dorsey, but someone has to answer for what I feel is a criminal underuse of a talent we so badly need. Two targets through two games is pathetic!
