Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 5 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Really? 0) Ordinary fans and media aren't clued in that it's fairly common football sideline lingo 'we got him seeing ghosts' 'you're seeing ghosts, look at what's there' 1) It's a phrase custom made for memes, especially around Halloween 2) Sam had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad game, and the news that he said he was "seeing ghosts" elevated it to a "next level" of seeming ineptitude 3) per @Buffalo716 here, it's just not something a QB should say during a game except perhaps privately to his coach - which in fact may have been the context in which Sam said it. 4) Gase is PO'd because of 3) and because mic'd up is not supposed to air stuff that would embarass the player, which this undoubtedly is HTH not news, way over blown, Darnold was not terrified out there, he made a on the fly comment of what he was seeing on the field. Some of you guys just love that fake drama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This entire saga points out how ignorant the media, fans, and even some defensive players like Kyle Van Noy can be about a totally innocuous phrase used by QBs and coaches for years. If the Jest hadn’t been blown out or had Darnold not had such a poor outing otherwise, it wouldn’t be as magnified. God forbid the media and the hordes of wannabe bloggers that comprise so much of it nowadays wouldn’t have something to sensationalize. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, the Bills has Brady seeing ghosts when we played them this year. He was throwing that ball away as quickly as he could, sometimes before the pressure even got there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would anyone on the Jets want a mic to be on Darnold.............. AGAINST THE PATS, for Pete's sake? This wouldn't be an issue if the morons who run the Jets let Darnold wear a mic. Nothing good could have come from it, and, Golly Gee, that's what happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but kudos to people who have explained it over the past 48 hours and mostly rendered it a non-story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the Jest erred in allowing it. But that doesn’t excuse the rampant ignorance that ensued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The All 22 is showing the Ghosts. So maybe Sam was telling the truth. Is close to Halloween. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a close game, no ref throws a flag on the Pats there. In a blowout it helps even out their stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
