I bet nascar has done the same.

I found this interesting.

long before any of this came in to the spotlight, I never paid no mind to the anthem they play before a game. the american way I suppose, like hot dogs and chevrolet. I never felt that my not paying much attention to the anthem before a game had anything to do with disrespecting the flag or military. I'm all for the anthem on memorial day or fourth of july, but a football game? that is totally your view and may be the view of others which is your right to express as such. it is not mine. seems there are those who haven't the full understanding of the 1st amendment and the very reason this country was\has been protected by those who serve(d). and that is for the freedom and rights to all americans, which includes freedom to express\protest. the deal now is that even in silent protest some feel they not only don't have that right to do so, but believe they're disrespecting the flag as well as the military and that could not be further from the truth. as for the platform, what greater audience. it even got the potus involved. this battle of political views and the direction society seems to be going, is not going to have a pretty ending I'm afraid. this is an ugly world we live in today it's a real damn shame watching this country divide as it has and the hate that dwells in the mist. anger is an emotion only you yourself can control. while this is all going on, I will be watching football games. it's source of entertainment and I'm not going to allow an anthem, that as I said, I really paid no mind to anyway, interfere anymore than I'll allow this present political battle interfere. I mind my own.

wheres farve, marino (may as well disclude the boys in the booth, aikman, bradshaw, simms) or joe montana to name a few? it's one thing as a past player showing up to watch the game but it's not like he is part owner or any type of coach and there should be a boundary he does not need to cross. jmo

I agree. but this whole fiasco, is dumb.

remember all too well. wonder if McD would let them go on a two week binge before the big dance? edit: wasn't it two weeks before the game, now it's one or the other way around?

pretty harsh.

absolutely. respect is earned, not given.

he just doesn't like shady because he only invites women to his parties.

it's another one of those games that many don't expect the bills to win, sound familiar? (9-24-17)

I don't know. I don't see them blowing the bills out by 25. I am starting to believe in McD and this defense. ryan is one of those QB's when you're in his face he gets rattled and will make mistakes. hopefully McD has the team ready for the challenge.

bickering bills ring a bell? I agree though, keep your nose out of it Jimbo!

as they should.

good post indy.

not cool Jimbo, not cool at all.

overrated? so he's expecting they only score 25? I could see that but ryan can be rattled leading to mistakes. sorry, after the meltdown in the superbowl I'm not as impressed with atlanta as some are.

I did not see any thread about playing the bills. they over looking it that much?

ryan can be flustered by that Dline which can disrupt his game. not saying the bills win but there is a chance especially if the defense plays as they have.

another one crashing the party on monday trying ever so hard to discredit the win. way to go Irv

much easier for some to concentrate on the negatives rather than the positive.

nice write up Shaw66...GO BILLS!!!

his celebration was pretty much out there. kind of stupid, no, it was stupid. I only question why in the off season they decided to allow td celebrations again yet they want to still manipulate it and throw the flag. flag happy refs.

some real nasty **** going on in this thread. real nasty. no, not offended, skins too thick but just an observation of the state of minds dwelling in this thread.

if the season ended today I'd be bummed out because they only played 3 games. seriously though it's nice to be 2-1 rather than 1-2 because this place would of been unbearable had they lost yesterday.
