    Or you just don’t get how this works?

     

    You’re defeating the process if you cut players for their personal beliefs in a situation where the league has made it possible to have personal beliefs. 
     

    That’s how you lose their respect and show them that you never actually cared about them in the first place… which is what everything in Buffalo is built upon. 

     The number of unvaxxed in the WR room is a competitive disadvantage. From a rational standpoint, you need to be able to field a competitive team. It isn't about what you believe, it is about risk. And winning. Given that Beasley, Mackenzie and Davis aren't faxed, you lose 2 maybe three of your top WRs for multiple weeks if someone makes a mistake. Man, that's not a risk I would want to take as a leader.

    Shoulder injuries can be bad. A shoulder injury ended Tony Boselli's career. Not saying that's the case here, of course, but I wouldn't automatically assume it's minor.


    agreed. If it’s a rotator cuff tear requiring surgery he’s out for the season.

  3. Makes me proud to be a Bills fan. There's no reason why what you do outside of work in your relationships / who you care about / who you love should make a difference at all in anything. I'm glad that fewer people feel the need to keep this hidden, as if it is some evil little secret that is something horrible. It isn't.

     

    That said, I don't think all teams in the NFL at the time would have thought the same way. It says a lot about the guys on that team.

    Actually,  the Bills bought into getting Shady to buy into Buffalo.

     

    Tearing up his existing Philadelphia deal and adding like $25M in guaranteed money.

     

    And then...........in a move I've never seen before or since..........McBeane gave him a $2M bonus in the summer of 2017 to buy his loyalty.

     

    In return Buffalo got a disappointing first season...........an excellent season in an offense that inflated rushing stats...........and then a well below league average ypc performance in 2017.    Not even going to go into 2018.     

     

    So they paid an average of well over $10M per year for one exceptional season.

     

    One can't criticize Whaley and his handling of the salary cap and say that McCoy was a good acquisition without being utterly hypocritical.

     

    I can see your point. At the same time, you can criticize Whaley and like what McCoy did at the same time. It's not his fault whaley was a moron. He still balled out, and even the years that weren't as statistically good (except for the last - he was done), he was still a player to raised the level of players around him, especially when the team was lacking talent - which is the fault of Whaley.

    "We respect each player's decision on the vaccination is their own, and while we continue to educate our players and hope they decide to get the vaccine, we know we have a number of players who will not, and are totally fine with that as they are still on the team. However, we also made a decision as a team to not speak out about it or let it become a distraction, and Cole was unable to follow that. Nor would he agree to follow the protocols agreed to by the NFL and NFLPA. We provided him plenty of ways and opportunities to contact his union reps and work with the NFLPA, but he was unwilling to do so. So we made the decision to move on since we are trying to stay unified as a team, and move forward into a re-opened 2021."

    Boom, cut.

     

    But if he's willing to retire over it all, than problem solved.

     

    Exactly. He could shut up about it and be fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how idiotic and uninformed. I don't agree with him, but he has a right to that opinion 100%. But he's got to be an obnoxious little MTG about it, and cause a distraction on a team that is trying to win the Superbowl. He's being very selfish. 

     

    Don't cut him. Trade him.

    Torodol is a wonderful medication. I administer it quite often working as a paramedic. Its half life is quite long so it is the perfect non narcotic to use prior to a game. 

     It is, but you can't use it all the time. I get kidney stones, and the combination of toradol and dilaudid is awesome. Allows me to get by with less dilaudid. But it definitely messes with you kidneys.

  7. I'm a manager at my day job. I take leadership very seriously, and it is very difficult to do well. I look to McDermott as someone who does it right. He leads from the front. He's there for his people both personally and professionally. His message is consistent. He treats everyone the same. He preaches love of your fellow teammate. 

     

    You have no idea how hard all that stuff is to do, but I guarantee you've all had bad managers who either couldn't pull it off, or didn't even try.

  8. That's a lot of picks (I know equivalent to a 2nd) for a tackle who will want an expensive contract. Not having all those picks is going to come back to bite them, as those are valuable, low-dollar draft picks who help build a franchise. 

     

    Brown is cheap now, but with all their other high-dollar players, how are they going to pay him? What if he walks next year? That's a ton for a guy they might not have under contract but for one year.
