  1. The NFL has got to step in. He is the worst, and has been for a while now. Just fire the guy, he is a problem. Always trying to impact the outcome of the game.
  2. Probably one of those that you can only get at the stadium.
  3. So dramatic. You can subjectively say it is stupid if you want, but it's not disrespectful, racist, elitist, or whatever other adjective people would like to perscribe to it. This outrage is a symptom of manufactured victimhood.
  4. When I saw Hackuli was doimg this game I knew we would see stuff like this. Hope that was the worst of it, but his history shows it's probably not.
  5. That's where we are right now. Everyone is overly sensitive that you cannot even use an extremely common coloquialism as a metaphor. If he just called them "inmates" out of nowhere, ok maybe everbody can go bonkers, but this is a very, very common figure of speech used in all industries as a management style/slogan for keeping the employees in line. And that's what employers get to do since they are essentially buying your time. And when you are on their time, you can expect to act in a way that is appropriate to the industry/situation.
  6. Cool, so the fans and media CAN play a role in how the team plays. Sure looked a little "tanky". I'm still not sold that this is our year, but it's certainly in the cards much more than it had seemed.
  7. I would venture a guess that he weighs his opinion, but overall has little to no say in roster moves. That's how it should be: let the players play, the coaches coach, the managers manage, and the owners own. Terry does not have football smarts and he knows it. That is why he wanted Polian or Coughlin as "Czar". He hired Beane and McD becauss he believes in their plan, and will likely give them the lattitude they need to enact said plan. Early returns are promising.
  8. I believe in the system, and tue ability of Leslie and Sean to implement it, but I don't believe in our depth at DB at all.
  9. Well, of course. He played in just a few snaps and recorded 1 catch. If you extrapolate that out...
  10. Besides their programming going straight to ****, they have also engaged in the political arena, choosing a side and promoting it. As an example, just look into situations with Ditka and Jamele Hill. People don't want politics with their sports, that has been established, and firing ditka because he wanted to vote for Trump, and keeping Hill after she called him a white supremacist shows the double standard, and that only one opinion is allowed at disney. Sports outlets could learn something from Michael Jordan who refused to engage politically, famously saying "republicans buy sneakers too".
  11. Fair enough. I just don't think there is any way the Bills can lose from this point forward. There are only a few outcomes: 1. He shows up and plays for the Bills. 2. We get something for him in trade. 3. He stays retired. Those options either help us or bear no consequence for the Bills. Each option bears consequence to Boldin, so we are holding 51 cards, and his only card is the deuce of hearts.
  12. How are the Bills doing themselves a disservice. You could argue Boldin did the Bills a disservice. You could argue thar Boldin did himself a disservice. I fail to recognize the correlation between what has happened and the Bills "doing themselves a disservice". If anything they are trying to help their cause by getting something in return, they may have lost out on another WR expecting Boldin to play, heck they may even have kept Sammy. Perhaps the Bills were counting on Boldin, and he left them holding their dicks.
  13. That's fine He quit on us and is dead to me, but if we can get something for him that's great. More importantly we need to make sure he goes somewhere outside the division, maybe even conference, and not to any team that regularly deals with the Pats (Browns, Raiders), or any team who's draft picks we hold (specifically KC).
  14. The channel is a shell of a hell of a network. Currently unwatchable. Thanks disney.
  15. I don't subscribe to the premise of this thread. Moreover, I find the use of "oppressed" in this situation to be extraordinarily disrepectful and intellectually disingenuous. Boldin is unquestionably a professional. In his professional opinion, it was worth it for him to enter into the contract with the Bills. Now he has to honor the agreement he made. You guys think we should have released Jim Kelly's rights too? Was Jim oppressed? Where the !@#$ are we as a society when somebody wants to break a fair and binding employment contract, and somehow the other party on the contract is oppressing him? It is Boldin who is not doing what he said he would, is not living up to the deal, and it is obvious "retiring" was just a ploy to gain attention and/or get to play for a team he wanted to. No sympathy from me for a pro athlete who clearly knew what he was getting into, and has reaped the benefit of the NFL money machine long enough to know how it works. Multimillionaire cattle that live a richer life than almost everyone else on the planet. Cry me a river. They should be prepared to fulfill the obligations of the contracts that they sign, just like everyone else.
  16. With any other team this fog would just be attributed to calm weather or something. But the usual suspects... you just gotta wonder. They try to cheat in many creative ways, would not be surprised if this was another attempt. Not something they could continue to do though because it is so conspicuous, which leads me to believe it's not a cheat. They are always covert.
  17. I agree with OP, but think that was established as soon as the sched came out. We need to carry 8 or more wins into the last 4 weeks to have a chance. We will not sweep the pats and prob not the fins. We need to be in a situation where we only need 2 of the 4.
  18. Our pass defense has been a little overhyped, but is effective mostly because of ball-hawking. Without the turnover ratio it's not very impessive at all. Losing Gaines had a massive impact too. We need depth like nobody's business. Run defense is legit. I think we still finish top 10 in scoring defense at the end of the year, again mostly due to turnovers. Tampa walked all over us up and down the field, but we won because they kept giving us (or we took, rather) the ball.
  19. I know he has. His s/n at bbmb was GBfan2010. I have followed his posts for years. Does not make this any less rediculous. He is mostly nice and sincere, but topics like this show he can be entirely tone-deaf. I can't tell if it's accidental or if he just likes to get jabs in, in a really nice way. Nobody can legitimately think the packer fans all of the sudden understand our plight, it's just plain ludicrous.
  20. Here we go again, Icebowl... You show up at a cancer ward and complain about a hangnail. Yeah, I'm sure it sucks losing Rodgers for the year, but don't pretend to understand or share our "heartbreak". You are a franchise of winning rings with elite long-tenured HOF QB's. We are a franchise of snakebites, unlucky breaks, and infamous failures. You are comparing apples to meercats, and it's borderline disrespectful.
  21. Well, that pretty much sums it up. I could not vote, since there is not an option for "all of the above". In my opinion the NFL has gotten "a little big for their britches", figuring they can do whatever they want and people will just blindly follow. You can't blame them for this, it has worked up to this point, but starting just last year, the jig is up. People are getting turned off, and are turning it off. The NFL is hemorraging fans and popularity, and it's hard to point to just one thing.
  22. Yeah, a percentage of their salary makes the most sense.
  23. Eh. That's like fining me $15. Lynch clearly doesn't care. He never has. He is a dynamic player, but I was happy to see him go. Just another entitled rich person, who thinks he's above the rules. And maybe he is.
