So, how long is the NFL going to pretend that they are upset that their meal ticket is playing? All of this is going exactly the way they want it to. They want to be SEEN as being tough on crime but they actually want the players on the field. What better way to do that?

I glanced over this, i don't get it.
She essentially accused a reporter of having an affair with her husband (GM of the Redskins) and using sexual favors in exchange for inside scoops.
The Redskins tried to cover it up by saying it was a fake account, but the woman then admitted to doing it which outed the Redskins' bald faced lie.
Wow, pretty stupid on her part.
Unless she's right, then what does she have to lose? She cleans out the hubby in court, outs the other woman, and makes the Redskins look like idiots all in one fell swoop.

yep I really think Fred did not like Marrone. It was apparent from beginning to end.
Maybe he liked Chan better but he still didn't have a problem publicly agreeing with the substance of SJ13's comments after he tossed Gailey under the bus. For those who don't click, here's the gist. Stevie could have said it differently, but he's right, Coach is wrong to not let Fitz audible.
Huge T.O. sized issues? No. Indications that perhaps Fred was a bit of a locker room lawyer when he wasn't getting his way? Yeah, little bit.
Shout at me all you want, that kind of stuff grates on people when it happens over and over again.

IDK,to me that sounds like a team captain sticking up for his QB? And the managament you may be referring to is now a line coach in Florida? team leaders don't get that tag by not talking.
and part of management is the guy who reportedly just released him.

Here another team captain from the same article on the same day.
"That’s the nature of this business," (Eric) Wood said. "In every city, everybody is in a win-now approach.
"With this reality show the NFL has been made into, it all goes on the quarterback. It’s not really fair."
Wood went on to say that he supports Orton but still has Manuel's back. He added that he wasn't going to have a moment like former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens had when he cried in a press conference and showed support for his quarterback Tony Romo.
“You have to put that behind you," Wood said. "This stuff happens in this business. … You’ve really got to put your emotions aside on this, no matter what they may be.”
Sound a little different?

this makes for nice evening talk but in the end it is nothing but conjecture and in some extent rumor mongering. including my own views.
if The man in question was considered or anyone has anything to substaniate he may have been a "PIA" behind closed doors. Then IMO,that BS should be backed up with examples,proof,or fact. The guy that was cut was no superstar prima dona like the douchebag over in Minnesota. there has never been anything negative ever said about Fred anywhere. in the locker room, community, PR events, or a single coach anywhere. In any league, school, or team he has played for.So maybe character assassination rumors should wait until someone actually in the know claims otherwise. And can publish a credible story and source
The guy is a ball player, his GM in his opinion was less than honest with him. he said that publicly and the sports exchange article mentions Fred felt that way about Whaley since "I've known him" Not unusual for a manager to talk out of both sides of his mouth and a lot of posters here can attest to that I would guess. past that where's the story? other than a football blog with posters dreaming up hypothetical scenarios.
this all goes back to A-Hole tim graham stirring the pot. And some national media picking it up. Without Rex Ryan being the HC in Buffalo this story would have had zero interest or traction outside of Buffalo. Guys like Dan Patrick had zero interest in even talking about it (Fred being cut) They would rather talk about ( and laugh) about Rex and his own self promotion and I am paraphrasing,""this is my last coaching job" Yea right.
OK, here's one example. From the day they benched EJ last year. From a team captain on a radio show. Reported by Matthew Fairburn.
“We can’t go into panic mode and try and change everything, revamp this and revamp that. We’ve still got 12 games left in the season," running back Fred Jackson said on "The Howard Simon Show" on WGR Monday morning.
“I can’t sit here and say the blame is all EJ’s, because it’s not.
“It’s not one of those things where I’m going to say bench EJ and put Kyle in and it’s magically going to be better. I don’t think benching him is the right answer. I think what it is we have to go in and re-evaluate everything we’re doing. I think we’ll find the answers that way.”
I'm sure management was thrilled.
and to set the record straight I didn't say Fred was a PIA, I said it was possible the he was a bigger PIA than we know or want to believe which is zero. He's as bulletproof a player that has been here in a long time among the fan base.
-
So, which side of the hot crazy line does she fall upon?
-
yes I took it to mean not everything was sunshine and rainbows all the time between he and the Bills, and that can be true of any player
Stop your blasphemous talk. Criticism of the great Fred Jackson is to be met with excommunication!
Fred Jackson is, was, and always will be the football equivalent of Bill Brasky.

and whose conclusions often don't jibe with your wishes.
OK. so we're going to debate the uselessness of Tim Graham now. Can we debate the negativity of Jerry Sullivan next?
-
and that is supported by what exactly? you criticize a pro reporter citing a source yet lend credence to a message board poster?
Criticizing a reporter whose sources have been sketchy in the past.
But FTR all I brouught up was that "sources" can be almost anyone in the building. it doesn't mean they are well-placed or even particularly influential.
-
There's also the slight possibility here that Fred is a slightly larger PIA behind closed doors than we realize/want to admit.
-
Fred isn't signing anywhere until the Tuesday after Week 1.
-
Some coaches isn't even Roman to me. I think as you say about Rex. The media wouldn't say some coaches; they would say Roman.
That they DON'T say who it is leads me to believe it's someone relatively far down the pecking order who would have legitimate fear of being fired
-
this is the Toronto Sun. I don't know their history but Kryk seems to have fair takes for the most part.
reporting on a situation reported by Tim Graham. The most useless reporter of all time. The Pre-Rodak Rodak
-
I saw the "some coaches" thing from Graham as well. That to me meant not Ryan.
Aaron Kromer can't be that stupid can he? Wait...yes he can.
And "the coaching staff" is pretty big and includes some people that honestly we wouldn't really care if they disagreed and honestly many of them wouldn't be consulted, but they still have relationships with everyone involved. I can't imagine Fred being mentioned too often in defensive circles though it's possible. This is the offensive, special teams, and strength/conditioning staff
Greg Roman - Offensive Coordinator
Danny Crossman - Special Teams Coordinator
Aaron Kromer - Offensive Line
Kurt Anderson - Assistant Offensive Line (Marrone holdover)
Eric Ciano - Strength and Conditioning
Michael Hamlin - Special Teams Quality Control
David Lee - Quarterbacks
Dan Liburd - Strength and Conditioning Assistant
Hal Luther - Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach
Anthony Lynn - Assistant Head Coach/Running Backs
Jason Oszvart - Strength and Conditioning Assistant
Chris Palmer - Senior Offensive Assistant
Eric Smith - Special Teams Assistant
Jason Vrable - Offensive Quality Control

there have to be so few that they could narrow it down by now, right?
there have to be so few that they could narrow it down by now, right?
Keeping in mind people like secretaries, ball boys, marketing folks, and custodial staff hear and see things at work

i agree the fact he got cut should not be painted as a mess. It's the leaks that followed... Throwing Whaley under the bus, staff and FO discord, etc.
I agree, the leaks are an issue and have been for many years. The Bills as an organization do a very poor job of keeping things in house. I wonder how many staff people inside the building are hold-overs from Ralph and how many of them are the sources of all these leaks over time.

OL- Kupper, Johnson, Richardson
DL - Larsen, Fluellen, Carrington
FB - Conner
RB - Wood, Hill

CB - Brooks, Noel (PS)
S - Meeks
Roster Exemption - Dareus
Goodwin goes to STIR the day after cuts and we add someone back

BB, I want EJ to succeed so bad, but isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? The myth of the "EJ Long Ball" is starting to gain traction.
Averaging 12 yards per attempt over three different games will do that.

It's cute until you realize the toddler gets to go home and the baby gorilla is home. No matter how nice the zoo, animals like that don't belong in little boxes. And yes I realize the gorilla and its parents and probably its grandparents have always lived in zoos and thus don't, ostensibly, know the difference. It doesn't make it better.
-
this is the same coach who decided it was a good idea to run the read option with Sam Bradford
and then got butthurt when somebody hit the QB low, in a completely legal way? Yeah, him.
-
Please no more of these types of suggestions.
Unless the player's name is Andrew Luck I agree

First chance I've had to post today...and I just have to add to the chorus:
Horrible decision (yes, I understand the reasons why...but it still sucks).
THANKS FREDDIE!!!!!!!! You've been awesome, a true Bill through and through. Great player, great person. I can't wait to see your
name on the wall of fame!
But, before that, I'm envisioning a scenario. Fred gets picked up by the Pats. Week 2 Fred comes out and makes some amazing
play and the whole stadium chants "Fred-dy" "Fred-dy." Sticking it to Whaley a bit and showing their love for Fred. Even if it was the right decision for the franchise
moving forward (see the Patriots dumping Lawyer Malloy a week before the season, et al. Good teams do this). But, every once in a generation,
or so, there is someone who should be the exception to that rule and Fred should have been it. I won't be rooting for the Patriots or any other team he goes
to to win against the Bills, but it sure as hell will be hard not to cheer for him when he makes a play...and I have never cheered for a non-Bills player
against the Bills...not even Thurman in Miami.
Players can come and go and I'm still just a Bills fan, I root for the team, not just individual players (as much as I love certain guys for their play and/or personality
and root for all of them to succeed as individuals)...but just as I am forever a Bills fan, I will also forever be a Fred Jackson fan wherever he is!
And I'm not changing my avatar in protest, damn it!
Oh Crash, you do make speeches...

Total classless move by the Bills.
Not a big cap hit, great warrior for team, and at the end of the season he likely would have retired as a Bill.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bad move!
I'm not thrilled but I don't see it as classless. Gives the guy a chance to catch on by doing it now rather than next week.
