Cody Ford: Fans Told Me To “Kill Myself” after Playoff Penalty

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. 

Thank you. You have an inkling of what it’s like to Moderate here, following a loss. An idiot makes a witless post or thread, crusades it and it garners sheep.

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.

Sadly, it’s far more than one or two.

It is. It’s been reported up to and through to the FBI.

Someone on Here who uses Twitter send Cody the link of this thread and let him read what die hard Bills fans like everyone on here feel about him. I’m sure everyone on here thinks that comment was a disgrace and everyone has Cody’s back. 

LINK posted. Be careful how you reply.

This was already discussed in the Airport thread, but probably deserves its own thread

A topic previously discussed ad nausea in another thread yet @Phil The Thrill is compelled to start another thread about it? I’m shocked. SHOCKED I tell ya!

Look.. terrible thing to say regardless, but is  this dude even a Bills fan?

 

Lets not beat up Bills fans in general of this is the case..

He is. “In general”? Of course not. But don’t be blind. He’s far from a lone wolf in these parts.

Cody Ford has weathered a ton of criticism, and now apparently personal threats, as a rookie playing Right Tackle, the 2nd most difficult OL position.  He learned a lot, improved along the way, and did OK for a rook.  The call against him was the tickiest of ticky-tack calls.  Don't listen to the haterz Cody, there are plenty of people here who support you.

It's absolutely reprehensible that people like this guy walk around spewing such hateful garbage. Unfortunately, the world is full of ignorant, obtuse internet bullies and 'tough guys'. I hope he never reproduces because his children would deserve much better. Put it behind you, Cody. Peace.

I don't think James is a Bills fan, probably an angry gambler.

I’m not surprised by this, and frankly, that’s upsetting. 
 

This is the kind of thing that has become acceptable in a world run by twitter 

This kind of thing has been happening for a very long time - way before twitter - twitter has allowed it to be shared so now everyone knows what is occurring.

Cody don't let an idiot or two get you down. You don't deserve that and I don't think the penalty was deserved either. Have a great off-season and look forward to next year. The Bills will build on this and be even better.

That should be a lifetime ban. What the hell is wrong with people?

Cody's play has been a bit questionable, but I guarantee if Gronk had elbow dropped Tre in front of him, he would've laid Gronk out (unlike Preston Brown). Win or lose, that is the type of guy I want on my team..

This is horrible.  It’s one thing to criticize a players performance on the field, it’s another to say this kind of BS.   Even though we are frustrated, this is ridiculous 
 

 

 

 

that is disgusting and pathetic and those people need counseling.

I just want add that Cody Ford is NOT why we lost the game.  And I'm glad he's on the team playing very well each week. 

 

People can be idiots and one of the problems in the world today is the internet gives them all a platform to voice their insanity for all to see.

I thought I was bad for wanting Brady to get forced into retirement by Big Ed this year... legally of course. Cody Ford will be just fine. Any fans that think a penalty or the refs cost us the game is looking for reasons other than game play and decision making. Those were the issues and thats where the loss came from. This is what happens when you have fans that jump through 1 too many tables. It supposed to be fun right?

Ford made that block just like he probably has since little league football and he would probably do it again. why? because it was a legal clean block. The official who made the call invented a foul on that play and just like the pow wow after the kickoff non TD, the refs should have conferred and overturned it.  The imbecile who threatened Ford on the internet should be saving his hate for the ref in question or the NFL and its poorly thought out and applied rules .

Sorry this isn't Britain.

 

Separately... That was a BS call on Ford... Also if you look at this guy (kids?) Twitter he was saying stuff like her was going to kill himself during the game, and i think pretty much half the fan base probably said something like they were going to have a heart attack from the game and family members didn't dial 911. I'm sure when people say they hope we kill the dolphins when we play them they don't mean the Bills run on the field with machetes. When someone says Josh Allen has massive balls they don't actually mean he has elephantitus. When people say Josh Allen has a rocket for an arm, they don't mean he's had surgery to place a rocket launcher on his arm. It's banter and it's the internet.

 

Would i say something like that? Hell no. But I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch over it -- also I'm not actually wearing panties. 

 

People need to calm the hell down and ignore this loser. Cody needs to not seek this stuff out he wasn't even at'd in the tweet. Dude needs to grow up.

Hell, you see that daily here.

 

I stand by my assessment of this fanbase as unintelligent.

 

 

I joked around in another thread that this forum should develop and institute a message board version of the Wonderlic...

Nice.

 

I won't tell you what I think about Democrats in the hope of not letting this degenerate, and because there's a whole forum for this ***** nonsense.

 

Ah, just messing about. I'd say the same about the so-called left base as well.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you watching you consistent troll and throw you internet moderator weight around this message board.

 

Silly me for commenting about the topic at hand within the thread. 

 

Take a chill pill boss man.

Of course, no fan has any business saying anything of the sort.  However, the Bills have hundreds of thousands of fans.  When there are that many fans, there are going to be some that are total idiots.  I hope Ford develops some thick skin and learns to ignore the idiots on the fringe.

Ugh, barf. I hate seeing sh*t like this. These guys are human beings, but some people act like they're just friggin' football robots or something. Crap has to stop, you'd figure it would've stopped after someone set Leodis McKelvin's damn lawn on fire after he blew it against the Pats back in '09, I believe... but here we are. 

 

Kid played hard all year long and definitely bought into the culture the minute he got here, that's all you can ask for. I think he'll get better, and if he doesn't end up as their starting right tackle then they've at least got a heck of a guard they can use to replace Spain if he walks (although I did just read that Spain told his agent that if the Bills want him back he would like to come to a deal before free agency starts). 

 

I was bummed when they lost, too. But I didn't get on Twitter and berate the guy. Have some dang class, BillsMafia! Kid probably felt bad enough as it was, even though it was a super weak penalty to call. The officials ought to be grounded, or at least put in time-out for a good month or twelve. Friggin' jerks.

Obviously despicable behavior by the "fans", but Ford needs to just ignore this crap, stay off social media and work on becoming a better football player, FFS.
