See for yourselves. As you can see, it would be Mcdermott who brings it up first. If so, this shows that MCD is not a kitty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Golly gee good sir, I’m very concerned about the recent actions of your star Tight End! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Of course he was going to bring it up and of course Belicheat was going to pay lip service. Doesn't mean much. Hopefully McD lights into his players for not doing anything about it on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 McDermott said "I am personally offended" and then Bill said "It was bull ****. I understand. My fault." Not sure what else he could have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Very weak of McDermott to whine to Belichick about it. That's on BB to initiate an apology there. Veteran move by BB to be like "oh yeah, that....yeah that was bullish*t". BB easily dismissed him without giving McD the satisfaction of an argument he must have(naively) been expecting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 McDermott should've just punched him right in the mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought it up by thanking him for not putting gronkowski back on the field for the following pats drive. Thanking the opposing coach for sitting down his guy who just took one of the cheapest shots in recent memory doesn't give me much hope of anything. That's at least what was being speculated on the post game. All I can clearly make out from McDermott is I personally... after that it tails off for me on what I can piece together.

Sweats Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm actually surprised that McD wasn't clapping to beat the band at centre field............he seems to clap for everything else, for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Gronk frustrated because he is not getting away with blatant offensive pass interference like he used to and is getting caleld for it...as are a lot of receivers around the NFL...its very clear the NFL has issued specific instructions to officials to look out for it because its being called at least once or twice a game now...

Yea which I may or may not agree with, it's tough as just a fan with little for me really actually at stake. I understand it, McDermott was just doing what he's shown to be. Always a professional, first and foremost. Edited December 4, 2017 by Ol Dirty B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but that was clearly defensive pass interference. Watch it and tell me it wasn't. And Gronk got called for a phantom offensive pass interference on NE's first drive to start the second 1/2.

I don't care...I've watched 10 games against the Bills where he gets away with shoving defenders back 2 or 3 yards or to the ground and then turning around and being wide open for passes. Nobody is crying about those are they? 23 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: NFL players really don't have an interest in retaliation as a group. That has been clear for years. It has no effect other than hurting your team...what are you going to do punch them in the helmet and break your hand? Snatch their chain and get ejected from the game and then suspended? Then get called for a personal foul? 25 minutes ago, Ol Dirty B said: Yea which I may or may not agree with, it's tough as just a fan with little for me really actually at stake.

Exactly, so I'm not sure why anyone here is upset or shocked or disappointed that no one did anything. These guys are all pals going to work.

As a fan, I just having rooting interest. So while we all yell about retaliation and they might feel that urge a bit too, it's a much more difficult decision to make. But thanking him... That's bordering Charmin, not just being a good pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
