  1. Makes me laugh that everyone always expects craziness at the NFL deadline.

     

    Team has no cap space for multiple trades.

     

    However the team is already rumored to be involved in a big target, but also that target seems to price himself out of teams who've discussed it and, as pointed out, we have no cap space.

     

    Expect nothing, be surprised if theres something... Theres been 2 trades in the league at the deadline.

    It's not inexplicable. It was obvious that it happened because Mayfield is so short, and Phillips had him long enough for the play to be whistled dead. But it was allowed to continue, and Mayfield kept squirming and ducking until his helmet was at Phillips's hand level. Much like how Mayfield was able to escape Floyd's sack earlier when Floyd went right over the top of him due to being so short.

     

    Im not going to bash JP on that one. It was a fluke. And the refs were giving the Bucs every chance on that drive so they could score and cover that -9.5 spread.

     

    to Mayfields credit he was still moving in a forward direction which allowed the play to continue. If we're going to blame the coaches for situational game awareness though, then we can obviously blame the players. 

     

    I will say  my biggest problem with McDermott is, in a vacuum, the coaches repeatedly made the same wrong decision while the players made mistakes. The decisions had less of an impact on that game .... and I have to make sure I specify here....at the time they were made; while the errors of the players had a far greater impact on the game at the time. Taron Johnsons hold allowed the drive to continue.... Phillips Facemask did the same....then they scored. Now, McDermott obivously made his decisions with both an overly conservative approach and abundance of caution with JA being injured so I can understand it to a point.. Notice he didn't run as much once he got checked in the tent for his shoulder, and on the 1/2 occasions he did, he slid earlier then he would have. 

     

    So while I don't essentially like the decisions not to "go for the throat" I can understand them and recognize that they had less of an impact situationally on the game at the time they were made.

    The problem is 3 games in a row against vastly inferior teams went down to the last second.  Who else can you blame by McD.  He didn't have them ready and allowed Mac Jones to dissect them apart.

     

    This game should have been get back on the saddle a convincing win and 10 days to rest up.  

     

    The blame is squarely on McD, but luckily it was a win.

     

    I agree on the go for it scenarios, but its not McDermotts fault Jordan Phillips inexplicitly grabbed Mayfields facemask while he had him in a clear bear hug and he was going down. Its not McDermtts fault #7 grabbed onto the receiver on 4th down. The game should have been over twice at that point. Players bear the blame for that stuff. We can grip about the coach all we want but he isn't the one getting penalized to allow the bucs to score the touchdown to make it a 1 score game.

    Asked about the coaching staff

     

    "We won 13 games"

    Hes not wrong. Honestly I want more accountability for the team having hangovers collectively on Sunday. 13 games (Coulda been 14 who knows) Division winners.... we did good stuff.

     

    I want to know why the team looks like they all took a fistfull of benadryl on gameday

    What would have happened if he didn’t sign off on COVID policy. Would he be “allowed” to play? He’s caught between a rock and hard place because of control. 

     

    No he wouldn't have been "allowed" to play because its not HIS league. He's an employee and works for his team and the league. He would have been put on the NFI list according to the policy and procedure that again, HE AGREED TO, before any of this pandemic nonsense happened.

     

    Stop being jaded because you can't come to grips with the fact his decisions are wrong BASED SPECIFICALLY ON HIS LIES REGARDING HIS VACCINATION STATUS.  (There I put it all in caps so you see specifically what I'm referring to)

    That is not the topic of this thread. There is no debate that he tested positive for COVID. I’m bringing to attention the media and even members on this site continue to team up and bully a player for medical reasons. The hatred exhibited is uncalled for. 

     

    That is exactly the topic of this thread. Just because you may agree with his insanity, doesn't mean that others can't disagree. But as Hapless pointed out no one is talking about his decision to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. We are talking about misrepresenting whether or not he WAS vaccinated....and the justified punishment that should come with it.

     

    He didn't wanna get vaccinated? Fine...follow the damn rules. What happens when you don't follow the rules your employer sets? You get some form of punishment. 

     

    Personally I think his interview was a trainwreck into a tire-fire as far as his "image" goes and likely will cause more problems for the Packers then himself. do I think thats right? Nope. But thats whats gonna happen.

    Everyone wanting all personal emails leaked, with no regards to relevancy, should first share all your private emails.

     

    we’ll wait


    Not gonna lie I fall on this side of the fence. The NFL had to review all of these as part of this investigation....it's on them to take action if necessary....not the court of public opinion. I said some pretty stupid crap 10-15 years ago.... as I'm sure most people have.  Now if the NFL is the one selectively releasing these emails as intimidation tactics (no clue if they are or not) then yea either release them or get a court-ordered gag seal on them

     

    10-15 years ago society didn't feel the need to attack anyone who said a thing they didn't like to the point of getting them fired. Don't get me wrong I find most of what was said to range between abhorrent and in poor taste.... but emails from 10+ years ago have no bearing on what happens today....you know unless one of them admit to killing JFK? 🙈

    Cases are rising in WNY. 
     

    Rumors are that schools are going to get shut down soon. If that’s the case, everything is going to start to shut down. 
     

    Cuomo isn’t going to allow fans at games this entire year. Specific counties are in his yellow tier... it’s just not going to happen. 

     

    The only gripe you might have is that he could have allowed them during the Patriots game,  but after that cases in the entire area started to rise dramatically. Now they are even higher. It's not gonna happen at this point. At least the games are being played.

  9. Just now, Mr. K said:

    I wouldn't say no but would signing him make the Bills look desperate? And think of the fan reaction of the Bills signing a RB before addressing the defensive line (not that you can do too much right now anyways) Stay the course boys, we still have 11 games to go and plenty more chances to improve our playoff odds.

     

    Bell is a FA and a decent back.

     

    Name a decent FA Lineman.

  10. Honestly I approve. It won’t inconvenience them too much and I’d rather the players take precautions so they can keep playing.

     

    side note: hapless, sorry to hear about what you’re going through...stay safe! Also stay sane! Reading through this thread has been like trying to read the Bible and the Koran at the same time....with the random Cthulhu worshippers who don’t understand why masks are required and just want the world to burn under an octopus faced tentacle monster

    LOL, it would be really really sad if in fact, a few fans "need" football players.

     

    No sorry, the players earn a living with football, the reality is if anyone 'NEEDS' anyone, it is the players that need the fans.

     

     

     

    lol the percentage of "fans" who get riled up by these things isn't that high. I'd actually wager that the more fanatical "fans" on this site fall into that category. Therefore, the "need" to watch football. 

     

    Additionally the players earn their money from the owners/league. The league earns the vast percentage of their revenue from TV deals. While I agree that tickets/merchandise is the other percentage; again....people will still watch and buy merch. Those "Fans" will not stop that from happening.

    This will be the end of the NFL. Sad. Politics and Football don’t mix. Ego will ruined the league. 

     

    lol, didnt you, or others with this same mindset, say the same thing about kneeling, allowing shoes to be designed by players, letting players voice their social justice concerns, and any other multitude of things that mean players have a brain and can think for themselves?

     

    The league will be fine, but by all means boycott the league.... you need them far more then they need you.

    He’s not dead and when people say shockingly stupid stuff like this you’re basically saying cops shouldn’t use lethal force ever. 


    sure they should, when necessary. Was it necessary for one cop to shoot him 7 or 9 (can’t remember) times in the back? I doubt it.
