Iron Maiden Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 For the last few weeks, there were several threads on how we were going to get back at him....on how the " hood " wanted to exact revenge.....None of that happened yesterday....Gronk ended up having his typical game....and no one got up in his face..... Are you on the side of " let's be the bigger team " or are you upset and surprised there were no repercussions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Gronk is a douchebag.... I personally don't want his a** here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stupid thought to try to exact revenge by hurting Gronk. This isn't something that needs to be part of sports. We would have looked like fools if we tried something.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Why would anyone be surprised with McDermott directing the team to move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billznut Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Absolutely not shocked at all. I would have been far more shocked if they HAD done anything. The Bills are the Pats whipping boys and seldom even belong on the same field with them over the past 17 years. The Bills bend over and take it year after year after year. With more coming until Brady finally goes the fu_k away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Should have took a headshot at Brady and payed the fine/ suspension. Hell with Gronkowski, would've been a different game with TB in the protocol and Hoyer on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If Rex were still coach there would be three weeks of updates on how we were going to go after Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 With the playoffs on the line, the smart thing was to not risk getting anyone suspended. Next year though, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 No, there’s a code of honour. Fans calling for the Bills to try to deliberately injure an opponent deserve 87 years of no playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Not shocked at all. This team is soft like their coach who kicked a FG on 4th&1 down by 7 to the greatest QB to ever play.

Totally not true. Bills have zero pass rush anyways. They could afford a backup DL to take a headshot at Brady. Heck the way he's playing, I'd be fine with Hughes doing the dirty work. They don't really have any stars in the front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It would have been the ultimate stupidity to do that. What can they hope for if they make that part of the plan? End his season? End his career? It’s a Rex move. Glad and proud they didn’t go that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsherd Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It was good call to not go after him, playoffs were on the line. Had the bills won they would have rubbed it in his face for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - while I know that FANS hate other teams and develop intense rivalries, players are just workers, going to work, at their job. They know that at any moment they might be shipped another team, so to deliberately target one player for injury would be stupid. Do emotions fly causing fights? Sure. But NO player wants to see another get injured - most know how lucky they are to play in the league, period. Look at what happened when Cadet got hurt - there were Pats players coming over to wish him well, not to say "Good, you Buffalo jerk!". And taking the question the other way - knowing what we know now, um, YES would should have gone after him in the draft! Though IIRC he had back injuries that caused several teams to stay away from him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL set precedent with the Gronkowski hit, which by definition was completely different than the other suspensions around the league that week as it was after the play. Yet RG got exactly what JJSS got for an illegal block.They can't just go 10X what Gronkowski got. The players union would never stand for it and would argue it's the exact same thing he did to White. That's not how a union works. Let's say a Bills player with no disciplinary history hits Brady after the play. They must argue for the player based on past discipline meted out in similar situations.

The_Dude Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I’m not surprised at all. McDermott has put the league on notice that he’s here to do two things; punt, and roll over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
