I asked the question. I didn’t draw conclusions. I offered my perception. Again genius, you missed the point. I don’t care that it’s a football game. A professional acting that way is disturbing.

OMG- can you people not discern the difference between an instant emotional reaction (like throwing a single object, smashing a helmet down, etc) and having a hissy fit?

Judging by a lot of the responses, I think the point was missed or not stated clearly enough. Sure, we were all frustrated. But I’m surprised that so many of you consider that behavior perfectly normal. I can understand if he threw something, punched a wall, pounded his fist on the desk, threw down headset. Any ONE of those actions would be a fairly normal reaction. But it was the prolonged smashing and throwing that was disturbing. It was something more typical for a pre-schooler who’s a candidate for Ritalin. What would be your perception of a co-worker or boss if they displayed a tantrum of that nature? Would you applaud him or her for being ‘passionate’ about their job?

No, Belichick is a genius because he has 9 super bowl championship rings in his top dresser drawer.

I know he’s competitive, but have opportunities for head coaching gigs bypassed him because of concerns over his mental health? I mean, that tantrum was something I’d expect from a 3-year-old who can’t get their way-not an adult in a high profile profession. That was truly bizarre. Almost as curious was the complete lack of surprise or acknowledgement from the 2 guys next him. They didn’t even glance his direction during the tirade- as if it wasn’t the first time they’d witnessed it.

That’s a pretty significant injury report only 2 weeks into the season. Is the year, that was supposed to be ‘our year’ with Super Bowl expectations, going to be sabotaged by injuries? Are we the 2021 Ravens, snakebit by injuries and missing the playoffs entirely? Other than losing Tre on turkey day, the Bills cruised into the playoffs without any major injuries to starters last year. 2 or 3 starters on defense I don’t worry too much about. But when the entire secondary may be manned by reserves and the middle of the defensive line that was reinforced to stop the run is missing 3 of 4 - yeah, I’m a little concerned. The offense better stay healthy and play lights out or we could be in for a long season.

I don’t think it’s possible for me to care less about who is performing in a 15 minute greatest hits halftime show. Well, unless some pro football players came out in the middle of a Slipknot show and ran off a series of plays.

Many fans who grew up with The Who are now mostly in their mid-60’s and up. Sorry, standing for 3 hours is not an option for a lot of us who have replacement joints, arthritis, chronic injuries from athletics or military service. I hope the new stadium will have some of those standing-only sections that a lot of new facility have. I guess it’s very appealing and communal. Great. Some of us still want (or need) to sit.

It's clear you believe the world revolves around you and you have little regard for anyone else. Sorry that the Marv hypothetical went right over your head.

Your tone is that of a narcissist. It's clear you're not the least but sympathetic to those who enjoy the live experience, but for a multitude of reasons may be unable to stand for long periods, or simply aren't tall enough to see over you with your G.D. chicken wing or Flintstones Water Buffalo head gear. But, hey, as long as it suits you and you get noticed by the TV cameras.....screw everyone else, right? The Buffalo Bills organization wants all their fans to be able to enjoy games in their home stadium. They've worked tirelessly to create a family atmosphere. The ages of fans span from toddlers to people who are elderly and have supported their team since the 60's. Let's put a face to it. Here's your measuring stick: If 97-year-old Marv Levy was seated behind you and it was evident that up-and-down (mostly up) was a strain and took away from his enjoyment, would you still take the position that he should just move to "a different seat or stay home"?

It’s a simple matter of courtesy. Stadium seating is arranged so everyone has a line of sight to the performance. The person who refuses to sit for the entire event has no consideration for the people behind them who may be several inches shorter or are unable to stand for extended periods because of physical limitations. I wonder if the same people who are so amped up that they can’t sit, stand the entire time when they’re at home watching a game or concert.

As much as I love being in that stadium to see my Bills, this is one of the issues that has kept me from going in recent years. We see that amazing crowd on TV and my wife says how much she wants to go again, but standing barely 5 ft tall, she’d be stuck watching the Jumbotron for most of the game. I went to see The Who at the hockey Arena in Atlanta (22 years ago this week). Some damn yankee I’d met through a Bills’ message board had come down from upstate NY with his yankee attitude and was sitting next to me. He almost got into it at the concert with some guys in front of us who wouldn’t sit. I wonder whatever happened to him. Probably got his yankee arse kicked eventually. 😉

Stunts and blitzes. Hurry Tua into errant throws. Get him rattled. Usually not a huge fan of too much blitzing, but in this case pressure Tua early, and press receivers hard at the LOS. Of course the best defense is a good offense.. Let Josh run wild and run up the score at his home away from home in Miami.

No! I don’t hate the posts at all. I just don’t get it. Whatever it is that has made Haiku’s something that we’re taught in school- the importance of it goes right over my head. Maybe it’s like that stupid Canterbury Tales where we’re supposed to pretend that we’re smart enough to figure out what the hell Chaucer was saying in that Olde English gobbledygook.

No

Wow. It's only 42 years old. Isaiah Robertson. Ancient history. I've never been able to figure out what that song was supposed to be. Was there some contemporary song at that time called 'I Gotta Feelin' that was embellished by Isaiah and others to include the line "Bills going to the superbowl" ? One thing for sure, these players shouldn't quit their day jobs for a side hustle singing. Kelly's off-key heyyyy-eey was almost as bad as Tasker's was when he led the charge.

FWIW - there was an awful lot of stuff that the bored of education came up with to waste 12 years of public school. Most of the important things were covered the first years. After that, 75% minutia. College was closer to 90% minutia. This about sums it up:

This is so betarded Stick to Sumo Wrestling Japan This is for football I concede I'm probably not intellectual enough to understand Haiku's or Yoko Ono.

I understand there's a tradition. I was speaking directly to the appeal of a Haiku and why in the world anyone on this side of the Pacific Ocean should give a damn.

I remember something about Haiku's in middle school English class. I didn't understand why we were wasting our time with something so uninteresting. I still can't figure out what makes a Haiku appealing to anyone or in any way worthwhile. They seem REALLY stupid. Change my mind.

Yeah, as long his kids are happy (with no mother, thanks to their sociopath murdering father) I guess that's cool. I would have snorted up a big green loogie and aimed it square at his oversized face.

Isn’t it curious how people see things so differently. My wife and I both love Steve. I was going to take her for a taping. It’s done locally and a close friend of mine does all the video stuff for the show. I can’t tell you why, but I hate Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon. Many people love them. So it goes. Is the white dude Mitch Trubisky?

Allen's woman is hotter than anything those two have had and Mahome's brother is an @-hole. End of discussion.

Agree about the all reds. Looks like one a dem union suits a prospector from an old cowboy movie might have worn. That said, they did look great in the blizzard against the Colts.

Yeah, I like the 7:15 start. I can handle it ending before 11pm. I'm often at work by 5am (beating Atlanta traffic and a few hours of no interuptions). Thursday I left work around 10:30am, took my usual mid-afternoon snooze, and then took Friday off to sleep in while visions of superbowls danced in me head. So glad the west coast can enjoy the Monday night games, but other than those in which the Bills have played, I've hardly seen any Monday nighters in years. I'm usually snoring on the sofa by 9:30.
