Even though we are frustrated, this is ridiculous Ford should not have to put up with poor character comments such as that. I as a fan support him as a player and a person and know he will do what he can to improve in the future. For the record I think the penalty was a poor call in large part that in most other similar situations a player would not get called for it. I can't even remember the last time such a penalty was called in a NFL game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Who ever said that is a pure scumbag. I think Cody is a great player and a great guy who loves this team and loves Buffalo. He will come back next year stronger then ever! We support you Cody!! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This is the issue with making some of these guys whipping boys on here or social media. There’s a lot of Ford sucks on here. On Facebook. Twitter. Problem is he doesn’t suck. We know this. He’s playing out of position probably on top of being a rookie. When some of these guys are bashed non stop people run with it and it becomes “fact” to a lot. This scenario is an obvious fool overreacting to a loss and really extreme. There should be ways to hold people accountable for this kind of stuff. It’s disgusting and embarrassing as a fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Even if it had been his fault, it's crazy how seriously fans take all of this. In the end it's obviously just a game. I think fans in general, no matter what sport, take it way too far with not only their own players but the opposition. And sometimes without any perspective whatsoever. I loved that Jeff Van Gundy moment a couple of years ago when DeAndre Jordan changed his mind after verbally committing to Dallas and stayed on the Clippers I think it was, The game he came back, they were just nasty to him and Van Gundy said, "All this guy did is change his mind. The same people who are booing him will be cheering Greg Hardy on Sunday", alluding to a guy that at the time was convicted of domestic violence somehow was given a pass over Jordan. It's the sick part of sports really. I get frustrated at times with the Bills but never to that degree, like another poster here said, that's really just blurring the line of sanity.

Bookie Man Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A very loser/scummy remark to tell someone to kill oneself. That one or two individuals definitely do not reflect on this fan base as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a game and despite my intention to be mad about the outcome from Saturday I had moved on less than 5 minutes after the end. For people who make sports their sole purpose in living I would suggest to find other activities to balance life out. Honestly, a couple of Sunday afternoons this past fall I just hopped in the pickup and went to a piece of property that I own and watched the deer run along the creek.

Mr. WEO Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Loser move by some fan, but these things have shouted by lunatics after any crushing loss in any sport. He can’t let it bother him.

Instead of email to verify tighten up security and make social security numbers to verify. Might not help users in other countries but you could always have settings to allow by country or something. Social media is the antichrist these days. It’s an extremely hateful place to look at comments. Easy to see the divide grow and build amongst lots of different groups of people from politics, to religion, sports. Just ugly all around and zero policing or repercussions for people to say the most crazy of things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s on Twitter and has some Bills Mafia Pull? This would be a way to support what cause is close to him and his family. Or get the people that designed the Pancho Power T-Shirts to do something nice for this young man who is a rookie and a passionate Bill.
