realtalk: this was a big attention seeking stunt by a guy riding the pine. he comes in, looks like the garbage QB he is, throws a couple INTs, 49ers get crushed, and some will wonder why he got so much attention in the first place. Maybe ESPN can hire him in their rapidly expanding Grievence Professionals division that seems to be taking over that network. Honestly they should drop the pretense that they're interested in sports and just fuss and whine about racism all day since that seems to be the most important thing to them

Oh, dear, I appear to be the only person insulting others in this thread

I can almost see you clutching your pearls as you wrote this. I hope your fainting couch is nearby in case you are overcome by the vapors!

Perhaps the issue is that you've never been employed. It would really explain a lot. For example, my boss is a Giants fan, and hates guns, both objectively stupid and wrong opinions, but because he is above me in the org chart, I follow his lead on issues at work, and do my best to execute his plans to the best of my ability. The fact that he holds fantastically dumb opinions on matters unrelated to the work effort is irrelevant to me, but then again, I'm an adult, and don't spend my whole life seeking safe space hugboxes where everyone agrees with me OR ELSE edit: note also that chances are REAL GOOD that Pegs is also a Trump supporter if for no other reason than that Hillary WILL end fracking in this country, or at a minimum do everything within her power to make it unprofitable. Maybe some of the safespace players should consider that, and maybe decide they have to play for another team since the owner of the bills made his money through dirty evil fracking

So if a certain percentage of people don't like thing, we're no longer allowed to talk about thing. What a flawless idea that can only bring positive outcomes!

So you're a self appointed mod. Let me guess, you enjoy censoring people in the workplace too? Agreed, but Hillary would give the exact same answer, don't kid yourself

Perhaps while you're busy screaming WITCH at everyone you would like to quote the part of the TOS that everyone seems to be violating?

So, in essence, mob rules. Rex, you are not allowed to hold that opinion because a bunch of jerkoff precious snowflake millennials can't handle any dissent from their safespace hugbox ideas about how the world works. Yeah seems like a foolproof way to run an organzation. Oh, i dont like that the coach yelled at me and invalidated my identity, im not going to try now. wait until my tumblr community hears about this!

I think it's pretty crappy that a certain type of person thinks it's ok to publicly/socially ostracize anyone who doesnt agree with them politically. You see it everywhere, the workplace, college campuses, in media, and so on. They're a bunch of Jacobins who if given the power wouldn't stop at verbal ostracization either. I'm looking forward to the adults taking back over and steering the ship back into the middle. If a player believes that Rex endorsing Trump is a problem that will prevent them from giving 100% on the field, then they should ask to be released from their contract, and Pegs should make it so, immediately. If I'm an owner or GM, I am absolutely not interested in the type of player that puts their own stupid opinions above team cohesion.

So if a coach has a different opinion on politics than his players, the players shouldn't respect him? Are you a millennial by chance? That's the exact sort of idiotic crap I see a lot of out of people coming into the work force these days.

if you saw the way Hello Kitty handled that dust tornado monster thing, you wouldn't be comparing her to watkins

OK who's out there, we're nothing if not stark raving lunatics at speculation

I hate to say it but yeah, this. He's become a distraction, and isn't going to contribute. Let him rehab for the next 11 months, skip camp, whatever he has to do, and he gets another shot next year, but starting to look like maybe start some long term contingency planning.

Maybe short of amputation, he should go on the PUP list and we use the spot for someone who will contribute. I feel bad for the kid, but there's no indication that he's going to be a reliable member of the team. Might as well see what we've got in the other WRs

it'll be an all time performance... plus run a few options for another 200 yards and 2 TDs. edit: i forgot, he'll run back kickoffs and punts, and maybe play CB for a pick 6 or 2 edit2: probably then rescue a kid from a burning house, then come back with habitat for humanity and help rebuild it

The first problem with your theory is that BB doesn't have to 'go out of his way' to humiliate Rex. It just happens as a normal course of business, as BB is an order of magnitude better football coach than Rex is. That's not to say...that BB might not have a trick play or two up his sleeve that catch the Bills completely flat footed on D. Or maybe as simple as, Rex puts in his 10 DB 1 DL package, so BB goes to the power run. When Rex inevitably overracts to that and goes 10 DL 1 DB, BB goes to the air. This game has the potential to get ugly. The Bills can win, but probably wont because winning starts at the top and the Bills dont match up well there.

Yeah, again, like I said last week, there's room for improvement but CK is playing an order of magnitude better than last year. There's no substitute for playing time, and he's finally getting it. He is, at a minimum, a serviceable player at this point, and only going to get better.

I'd just like to point out that the Pats are winning without Tom Brady

I said same to my wife as we were watching the game. That was dangerous, and Gilmore should pay a price for it, if for no other reason then to know not to do it again. He had a HORRIBLE game and looked lost out there. No heart, no drive, doesn't care.

every time we hear about an executive resigning at our company, we always figure they got bought out. why wouldn't pegs give him a nice package to leave?

Now I'm starting to wonder after Rex's presser, is he already done? Will he go down with the ship or will he try to maintain a shred of dignity by quitting at some point in the year? Dignity doesn't seem to be real high on his list of prized attributes, but it's pretty clear that he knows the gig is up, he's out of ideas and saddled with a sloppy undertalented team, the exact sort of thing that's lethal when combined with a coach like him.

Niners and maybe the Jags. I was thinking about the Jags game. I'd sit TT, and start EJ. Give him a chance to avenge last year. I mean, otherwise, what's the story line on why to watch the game? The Bills go 3-13, I'm not sure who the 3rd win is, maybe 1 of the Miami games, maybe Cleveland. That last game against Cleveland is going to be one of the worst professional football games ever played. Can you imagine, 2 terrible teams on a cold/rainy day, going nowhere, at least one of them with a lame duck coach, maybe even an interim coach by that time. Maybe just save the trouble and forfeit the game, it's going to be like a funeral march.

next you're going to tell me there's no santa

Meh, getting guys back in game 5 or game 8 or whatever, then the excuse becomes "they have to get back in game shape" or "get up to speed" or whatever. Plus now, we're seeing injuries, so we're not going to be a complete team in any case. I'm thinking they're going to be lucky to win 4 games. 0-2 now, almost guaranteed to be 0-4. At that point, with 12 games left, even if they win half, it's 6-10, but i've not seen anything to indicate that they have what it takes to win half their games. The team is low on talent and without heart. The coaching is little league, and the leadership is terrible.

I just wanted to bump my own thread here. Again, watching the Bills with their slow developing, gimmicky plays, versus the way good teams do it, is probably the most telling thing about the way things are going to turn out. We've got another scat back in mccoy who wont hit holes, maybe by design, to think that he's so fast that he can get around the edge, except he almost never does. The D looked confused all night, like they weren't calling plays, just lining up and getting beat. What a disgrace. Whomever ends up being coach, I certainly hope he comes along with a game plan from the post 1950s era.
