JohnBonhamRocks Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Not that I think McDermott will receive it this way, but if I were the coach, then I see this ruling as incentive to BountyGate all over again. Pull a guy up from the PS, tell him to take out Brady's knees however long after the play, and suffer the (no way it would only be) one game suspension. Open the AFC East right up for a minuscule price. I think we could trudge along without Cap Capi for a game. Edit: ^ Yeah, that!

ColoradoBills Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 1 minute ago, Paulus said: Can the Bills appeal the decision? Good question. After Gronk appealed the Bills should appeal for too light of a suspension. Gronk used a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as a weapon. He did not use his unarmored forearm or anything else but that. He knew exactly what he was using that metal cast for. He is allowed to wear that for his own personal protection, NOT a device to inflict pain to others. That alone should be at least 1 more game.

In the NHL. This decision is as expected. The same as Evans. The microscope is on the league and if they went harsher on the Patriots that would lead to months of "poor us" coming from the mouth breathers. If they didn't suspend him at all the outrage would have been coming from all the other fan bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have went after him yesterday, if they were going to. I honestly don't think the Bills will; they're too resigned to being the Patriots bitches. Kinda like yesterday, even with that hit, I sat there wondering how the Bills were going to get the bigger penalty out if it. The league and the teams know the Bills are supposed to lose those games.

Not to mention it's in NE not Buffalo so your not alone with crazy dumb fans, matter fact we have a bandwagon full of them! Taking away Gronk doesn't hurt NE enough...if you want to send a message, you take out Brady. I don't expect McDermott to do that--that's not the cut of his jib. I'd probably handle it the same way, though part of me wants to believe that I'd call a toss play toward the sideline, and if one of my lead blockers just happens to stumble 17 yards out of bounds and go helmet-to-knee on Tommy Boy, well, that'd be too bad. But yeah, in the end I have no desire to see anyone hurt. I once thought differently, but after Edelman went out for the season and I surprisingly found myself actually feeling bad for him (despite how gigantic an a-hole he is, and the fact that he routinely commits unsportsmanlike conduct and somehow manages to escape penalty and instead incite penalties by his opponents), I discovered I am actually a compassionate person. It was kind of disappointing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 should have been 2 game minimum. Really, it should be for the whole season.

The game was over at that point, so wasn't to "help" the Pats as much as just piss poor refs and then wanting punish the team hurt one of their feelings with words. I agree, the game was largely over. So it didn't help the Patriots at all. Nor would an extra 15yds have helped the Bills. It's more the principle of being a Bills fan and seeing this type of officiating every single time we play the Patriots. I was watching the game with my brother-in-law, a lifelong Broncos fan. He was in complete disbelief at the play and subsequent outcome. I just looked at him and said... Welcome to the Bills/Patriots rivalry. I've been seeing this going on 2 decades. The Patriot players treat our players with zero respect, the coaches show zero respect, the league show zero respect in how they officiate, our own players take the beat down in stride and congratulate the Patriots. They win, we lose. That's the way it is... And it's sickening to cheer for this team during this game twice every year, knowing that its going to happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 McDermott is someone that does not show his emotions in the media but I think he's a fireball behind the scenes. He clearly was talking first when he and Bill met - then Bill said I understand and apologize. He may have wanted to see what his reaction was to determine what would be done about it in the next game. I'm speculating for sure, but there was something methodical about Sean's approach.

davspo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I could care less about the suspension. The only redemption this team could have is to get even. I generally don't advocate street justice, but in a team sport you cannot allow that to happen to a teammate without repercussions. In baseball a player would have taken a 95 mile per hour fastball. That shot was so cheap someone has to go for a knee. I doubt this so call "team" "band of brothers" has the guts to do it. Probably not- that is why the streak extends to 18 year. They deserve and command zero respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The Billsy outcome... He will appeal this and the suspension will be postponed for a few weeks. He'll end up sitting out the Bills game. He avoids any possibility of retribution and they probably won't need him anyway. They might not even care about the game at that point in the season.
