1billsfan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) This stuff does not go over well in opposing teams locker rooms. It's seriously a real sign of disrespect. The week of the season opening Bills game and Briggs skips a practice? You feel that confident bro? If Marrone has any clue he will use it as motivation for the offense and the team in general. Parcells and Belchick certainly would. Heck, they'd make stuff up to get their players going. This is downright "in your face" disrespect.

Uncle Monkeyhead Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The way this kinda thing usually works for the Bills: Lance Briggs DPOW with two sacks, one FF, one INT, one Safety, and 11 solo tackles, 2 for loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Finally, motivation!! Actually, I'm sure the players couldn't care less, and have more important concerns. Ask yourself this question...would Briggs take monday practice off of game week to open a new BBQ restaurant if he was playing the Patriots? You may think stuff like this doesn't bother players, but that Jets game last year is proof to the contrary. If there are any Bills players on this team that this doesn't bother regardless to which degree, then I don't want those players on the Bills. It's not a huge deal, it's just the principle of being disrespected like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Didn't Mike Peca schedule his wedding during the playoffs? no idea. If so... I'm sure he rescheduled when he realized he'd be playing. Playoff eligibility and dates aren't established until late in the season. This guy knew that he'd be playing his 1st game on sept 7 since the schedule came out. He decided to fly cross country and back 6 days before the game and miss a practice day. Will it matter? Maybe not. Just seems a bit off. And trestman said he requested a personal day, and he approved if, but never asked what it was for. Briggs never told him. So a coach doesn't ask any questions when a player asks for a day off the week of game 1 prep? Just seems bizarre to me. Especially when he has to travel so far and back. But whatev.

You never hear them say "yeah, we didn't play well, and after that team disrespected us, we were really motivated. It just didn't work out". This is also different because it was just one player anyway, not a whole team taking a break. It's opening day, no motivation is needed,and if anyone is playing harder because of this, THAT is a guy I don't want on the team.

Not many players take a personal day during a game prep week. It is not common - that is why I thought it was odd he didn't ask after Briggs didn't tell him why. I am sure its nothing, but it doesn't happen often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it not happening often is why I'm guessing Trestman didn't ask. He probably figured that Briggs wouldn't ask unless it was really important. I'm guessing he regrets his decision now, but even if he'd asked, is it worth pissing off Briggs to say no? Briggs has a history of being a malcontent, and that team needs some leadership on defense this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
