South Jersey Bills Fan Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I haven't been following much yet so far, but I saw the highlight (or lowlight) of the hit on D Jones, and what I took away from it is that I would love to have Fred and Stevie on my team. Those 2 definitely have your back. Rahem better watch himself in the regular season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 definitely have your back. Rahem better watch himself in the regular season game. Yeah that was my favorite part, I thought the qb should get in his face to like favre would have. Love seeing guys get upset over stuff like that. The hit is turning into a bunch of bs between the Denver media, his teammates patting him on the back, and he insisting it was clean. Even the worst broadcaster in history Alfred "bawl" Williams thought it was bad. We need some dog in us and that was a food start, stevie moved up my favorite bills list after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a preseason game for a player that isn't going to be cut, not one that counts though... remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically how could Rahim or anyone have pulled up on this? If it's the Patrick Moran Prize I get for this then so be it! Too many negative nannies who have lost what this game is all about anyway! Let's get the pink panties out now boys cuz we can't do what we are paid to do!

Let's get the pink panties out now boys cuz we can't do what we are paid to do! They are not paid to break the rules. And if the game being made a little less tough means that more guys can go home on their feet instead of in a wheel chair at the tend of the day, then I have no problem with that. This is a job for the players and entertainment for the fans, its not life and death. If you look at the history of the game, the biggest threat to its existence came from the frequency of injuries and even fatalities in the early days. They almost banned the sport. Rules were changed and equipment was improved and the game survived. And when those changes were made, I am sure there were some who complained about pink panties and all. Despite what some might say, the game has, will and always should continue to evolve and I am sure the league is not going to listen to comments like yours about pink panties and all, which is pretty sexist by the way, though I am sure that was unintentional. I don't get how it is, in this day and age, that the go to metaphor for weakness always involves a comparison to women, whether it be their anatomy or their underwear. The women in my life are anything but weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can go on and on how the game has changed but injuries still happen no matter what rules are put in or not! Maybe we should drug test them all since that is what happens in real life!

The kind of guys you want in the foxhole with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Those 2 definitely have your back. Rahem better watch himself in the regular season game. Do you think this is hockey where they are going to try and fight him. There is no "having your back" in football nor does he have to "watch out" come the regular season.

South Jersey Bills Fan Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Do you think this is hockey where they are going to try and fight him. There is no "having your back" in football nor does he have to "watch out" come the regular season. I'd assume there are other ways to get back at a guy other than fighting. Blocking, tackling on a turnover, etc. I seem to recall some really nasty retaliation hits between Pittsburgh and Baltimore for this kind of thing. But, like I said, I haven't been following much, so I am sure you have much more insite than I do.

The guy is awesome. Super nice guy, super knowledgeable about the game. I watched the replay yesterday (first half) and thought he did a tremendous job. What in the world is your problem with him?

RyanC883 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I loved Steie and Freedie getting in his face. But where the f' was Fitzpatrick? He should have been the first one out there. And Gailey should have been in the refs face after the guy didn't get ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should drug test them all since that is what happens in real life! I can't believe I'm actually taking the time to respond to this but... I for one could not possibly get injured at my job. Football is a wildly barbaric and violent sport and any measures they can put into place to help prevent players getting bashed in the head (which again, couldn't happen to me at my office), with what we now know about brain injuries- you'd have to be an a**hole to disagree with.

Those 2 definitely have your back. Rahem better watch himself in the regular season game. There was a play earlier in the first half where Spiller was stood up by about 5 Broncos and pushed back about 10 yards before he had his helmet ripped off by.......... Rahim Moore. It was clearly intentional, and I think that play should have been a flag also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 definitely have your back. Rahem better watch himself in the regular season game. I was PO'd that the Bills players right in front of the play didn't go after Moore by at least going to him and giving him a piece of their minds. Perhaps they were first year players? If that was the Steelers, Pats, Jets or Ravens sideline I guarantee you that the sideline players would come to the defense of their teammate who was just "Tatum'ed". Stevie and Freddie showed that they have their teammate's back. I liked that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
