RoyBatty is alive

Bills do have a different feel for me this year, after those fortuitous calls versus Atlanta, it seems like Kharma/attitude is positive this year. I thought we could come back because the offense was effective and the D most of the year has been able to make huge plays.

I didnt see the PC, did anyone ask 1) who called that play at the end of the first half 2) who blow the coverage on Howard for that long TD pass. And noting was me painful that a Dick Jauron PC, especially after one of those thrilling 20-13 loss where we punted well.

Agreed he had a good first couple of games and some Jets were outraged because he danced on the sidelines, those are his highlights this year. I think Marshawn has a much right to dance on the sidelines as do players kneeling for the anthem. although I am eager to see his antics on the sidelines, I hope he does some "heinous" act of disrespecting Buffalo and or theBills.

"Asshat" . How old are you, no i am not going to back research this thread so you can wait a long long time if you want. Not my place to defend anyones else posts.

Not only are you a hypocrite and judgmental but also arrogant. You are "shining a light on close minded", oh so YOU are the enlightened one, you are the one with the open mind, others are "parochial". Got it.

Since we are actually favored, I would rather go with the player that is more consistent, JW, Fitz can be either really good or really bad, rather takes my chances with JW, esp since he is unlikely to be 100%.

no offense there Lurker but you calling out others is equally judgmental as well as hypocritical

By the way, lets assume this is all true what is reported, is it really smart to tip off your opponent that you might be changing offensive scheme? I just cant see something like this coming out in Foxboro.

You seem to have forgotten how he showed up fat overweight and slow which also prompted the trade. He also missed 12 OTAs (yes I know what they are "voluntary") ML wanted out of Buffalo, anyone that doesn't remember that or chooses to ignore it fine by me. He disliked WNY and disliked being on the Bills at the end imo, going to Seattle rejuvenated his spirit, i credit that not NECESSARILY better coaching.

Doesn't mean his appeal will be granted .

Richie has been a model citizen since being in Buffalo. While in Buffalo, ML got away with hit and run drunk driving, also got busted for 3 gun misdemeanors, and wasn't even cited fir his illegal pot use in CA.

playing Miami helps

That is the exact Pandora's box scenario i was referring to. Trying to determine intent could result in some very divergent and unintended consequences.

Agreed so far.

Understood perspective but there should be zero tolerance, never touch an official. You allow them that and then you have opened up Pandora's box...did he push the ref or just touch, how hard did he push, yes he pushed the ref but only slightly etc etc etc.

Ah, you got me there. There is about as much common sense with what is a catch now on the field as there is with discipline.

Lets use some common sense, does it have to be spelled out for fines and suspensions. I will bet punching a ref in the face is also not mentioned, so does that mean he wouldn't be suspended. I will be shocked if he doesn't get surprised. Add on top of that his "priors'. Maybe the NFL is so shell shocked over this entire kneeling thing they will try and jet let this go, like no broadcasting the nat anthem on TV anymore, just ignore it, that is the only way I think he is not suspended. So are you implying him pushing the ref is not a factor at all? I think pushing a ref is 10x what coming onto the field but that is just me.

You neglected the most important thing, pushing the ref? He will get suspended.

Buffalo Bills in a passing league are setting up for 3 yards and a cloud of dust offensive scheme. Good thing we got Tolbert, he can get those three yards. As someone else posted, we need to get the pass game going first to set up the run, this isnt the NFL of 1960

Really, elaborate please, this could be entertaining, I want to be educated.

Good for you sticking up with your opinion, not sure why people are dumping on it. Marshawn is a lovable buffoon..until he is not, true. Something tells me 10 years out of the league his shtick wont be greeted with the laughter it is now.

LOL, most likely scenario. Of course every move he makes on the sidelines will be captured and it will turn it into some massive insult to the Bills and WNY. Actually I think a 4 game suspension which will immediately be appealed down to 2. NFL has to come out real strong on this, can't start intimidating refs. 1) Comes off the bench 2) gets involved & fights with other players 3) pushes ref 4) like the idiot he is he goes up in the stands and is splashed all over social media, smart move rub it in their faces about being ejected

If the NFL continues on the path of over-analyzing each and every play, officials effectively deciding games on arbitrary and some times made up rules bizzare interpetations. I can barely watch it sometimes now, esp after the Bills/Seahwaks last year.

2X, yep But give OBD credit for consistency, they want team players and good guys, i think ole Eric Woods checks both categories

6 pages of impassioned debate on this, LOL.
