I mean, it’s insane in a standard workplace but I also don’t get pumped full of painkillers or have my boss curse at me as one might see in an nfl locker room. I’ve never had a Ritchie incognito at the desk next to me. and I’d say that it’s not the only locker room doing this it wouldn’t be my own leadership choice but I’m highly skeptical this is a Gase original idea from what we’ve heard through the years i enjoy he got Darryl Roberts spot blown up by not effectively covering his name on the list below his fine and also posted their home hotel info too though ?

Kirby Jackson Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Adam Gase is God’s gift to the Bills after years of disappointment. This is his way of throwing us a bone 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Regardless of how much he may have been in the wrong or not, blasting a player's fine on a screen like that is ridiculously absurd. So unprofessional. It reminds me of some fresh out of college sales floors I was on in the early 2000's, and those were horrible, doomed to fail organizations just like the Jets. I wonder if they let the well-behaved Jets tap a keg at 4:30 on Fridays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not that greggs who I’m looking to for leadership but commenting on whether it’s unusual in this setting Edited November 15, 2019 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkollidas Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I feel like there’s so much context with these things, and as an employer, when stuff like this happens, and it’s someone who’s been with you for a while and they’re dependable, and for some reason they don’t call or show, you call or shoot them a text “hey, everything ok? Did you know you were supposed to be here?” Yes, they should know they’re supposed to be there, yes they should call, but life can be sh*t and life happens a lot, to all of us. And then to post the fine on a board like that for everyone to see... petty. I just don’t think Douglas/Gase carry themselves properly for leading any organization (whether it be the Jets, your local Walmart, or a neighborhood diner). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he comes back and plays the victim. Do things the way you knew they needed to be done and none of this happens. +1. He took his veteran wife out to lunch... Show some heart! I wonder what the other "family emergency" was? Bobby Brady put too much laundry soap in the washing machine and went off to do homework? The Housekeeper at his palatial estate couldn't handle it... Now gonna take a 30 grand pay cut. Edited November 15, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was consistent with team practices than he knew what was going to happen. His actions led to the outcome. Maybe the punishment was excessive but allowing the player a pass only leads to more actions of the same. I am not familiar with the player and how mush his salary is. How big is that fine in percentage to his pay? Where is the TV? Who sees that? Having said that I do believe Jets have a culture and locker room issue that seems to be growing under Gase not getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Quincy made a few catches like 4 years ago when Fitz was there and everyone was saying he’s some emerging 1/2 receiver. Since then he’s been dinged up every other play and has done nothing. This post should secure his exit from the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't like the public display of player fines. From my perspective, this is a cold and cowardly way of dealing with an issue. However, I would like to hear the Teams position on why Enunwa was fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
