eball Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 There is no reason whatsoever to bring Rice in. All five guys are going to be back for the regular season and one or more of those five are going to be released. It would be a distraction not needed and wouldn't help the team. But think about the advantage we would have in that all-important 4th preseason game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Can you imagine the headlines if we add Rice to Harvin, IK, & Richie.... Cowboys punch the other team Buffalo Bills punch their girlfriends and teammates and sh1t down their throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is they may want to give anyone who returns for that game a few carries to get them ready. Bryce or Boobie or Fred could dominate that game.

The Dean Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Dean I respect your opinions. I know you have been on here a long time also, but I just can't agree. I think we should look at all of the crimes, indiscretions of players and the league should be uniform in punishments. Hitting a women is wrong we all know that, howeverif Michael Vick is respected today by the league and players would he be reformed if he never was given the opportunity for a second chance? For the record I thought Vick's crime was so gross. I think you misunderstood my post. I was simply providing pointed social commentary on the sad state of the public's attention span, vis-a-vis the sound-bite. "shiny thing" focus of today's sports media. Or something like that.

KDIGGZ Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) can we discuss why all of our players have hamstring and knee injuries? hamstring injuries are most often caused by lack of stretching. could also be due to an imbalance in the leg muscles (players are working out their quads and not their glutes and hams). also deyhydration plays a part, as well as possibly the field conditions. at the rate our guys are getting hurt i'm going to say that they aren't being trained correctly and that many of these injuries could have been avoided Edited August 19, 2015 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffsPlease Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He can go out and get a job if he needs money. So can she. No one is stopping that.

IDBillzFan Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It was a punch, he didn't continue to beat her afterwards. Probably a snap reaction. Have you or anyone else heard of a similar incident from Rice? It was a punch that knocked her out to the extent he had to drag her out of the elevator. Or, more likely, she intentionally didn't get up for fear he'd punch her again. Like I said...take some time to read up on the makeup of men who beat women, and the women who let themselves get beaten. It won't take much for you to see why defending Rice's actions in hopes he'll carry the rock for your team is probably ill-advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pondslider Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) So you think Mrs. Rice in addition to being hit should be punished financially. Makes no sense to me. Hahaha. Ray Rice's career being over is not a financial punishment. It's the reality of a league where the average career of a running back is just barely over 3 years. But your faux concern over the woman's well-being is admirable. Edited August 19, 2015 by Pondslider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 YES PLEASE! Its about time just hope he is in shape-i dont expect football shape but he can get there in 3 weeks I absolutely hate the guy....but we are pretty depleted at the RB position right now. Get him in then get him out.Why hate? He took his punishment and then some. Im not for hitting women but theres always more to a story and he took his lumps and never devulged the other side.

PS 56 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We are quickly becoming the team of second chances. I am totally good with it.

hondo in seattle Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Considering our top 5 RBs are injured, I'd at least explore Ray Rice. I agree that hitting a woman like he did is inexcusable. But, to the best of my knowledgeable, it's not a pattern of behavior. I would certainly hate to be judged on the worst moment of my life. I think most of us would. Fortunately, most of us don't have that moment recorded and broadcast on national TV. The Ray Rice that hit his fiance/wife that day is despicable. I'd like to find out if he's the same man today. She insists he's a different man than we all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
