YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Not sure what’s going on. hope his family is ok Edit — update: Quote Via multiple reporters in attendance at the session, Ryan Fitzpatrick left the practice field before the session began. Here’s how Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald described it: “Before dolphins practice begins, Coach Brian Flores just walked QB Ryan Fitzpatrick off the field with his arm around him. Fitz seemed distraught. Not injury related.” (Apparently, the tweet has been deleted; others have posted similar tweets, however.) Fitzpatrick missed a day recently for personal reasons, initially prompting speculation he could be gone longer than that.

Another Fan Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 He often frustrated me a lot of times as QB but it certainly speaks to his character he's still beloved by a lot of Bills fans. Even if today he's the starting Miami QB. But yeah hope it all works out for him 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely bag on him as a player, all in good fun of course. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Well, I’m going to say a prayer for him. I see something like this I always seem to go to who is sick, hurt, died (relative, family close friend or something), so let’s hope it’s minor and hypothetically one of his kids fell off their bike and had to go to the ER, but everything is fine. I try and think of the positives as mentioned he does truly come across as a down to earth, humble guy who gives everything he can to win for whatever team he is playing for as Miami. To me Football always takes a back seat to a family’s safety and health. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little perspective is nice sometimes. Hope all is well with Fitz and his loved ones. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hoping for the best for him. And still hoping his final ride in the NFL is in Buffalo as Josh's backup. I feel that would just be right. And unless someone is offering him a starting job I think he would want to come here. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 GB, I love it and thought about the same. He would be up there with May God Be With You Reich in one of the top two beloved backs up in Buffalo. Heck, he might stay in Buffalo post football career. I know he loved it here. If we have sound vaccine in 2021, I’d be great with giving him solid back up $ (top 5-7) and just having him and Allen. Save roster spots, and never worry if Allen goes out for a game or two. I’d bet he would get a standing ovation when he came on the field in Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have always loved Fitz as a person, leader, off the field, etc. I was not a fan of him as our starting QB because he was never going to get us over the top. But I do always like to see him succeed and loved what he did in Miami last year too. Nothing but love for him as a person and sending good thoughts and prayers his way to him and his family for whatever seems to be going on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, GunnerBill, you don’t want that!!! Don’t forget the Fitz Curse and what it would mean for Josh’s health! But I understand the sentiment. Fitzy + Buffalo = perfection. Hopefully he eventually reaches the playoffs before retirement. 15 seasons so far, 39th in career passing yards, and 38th in career TD’s. What a career!

CowgirlsFan Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Miami Dolphins HC Brian Flores in a press conference today announced Ryan Fitzpatricks mother has passed away. Lets all keep Fitzpatrick in our thoughts as he goes through one of the toughest parts of anyones life. Fitzpatrick will of course be leaving the team to be with family. His time-table to return is questionable. #GoWithTheFlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife likes to correct me when I say “I have to take my mom groceries”, or “I have to take my mom to the doctor today.” She says “NO, you GET TO take your mom to the doctor today.” There’s a big difference there. Her mom passed a couple years ago, and she is acutely aware of the distinction. Prayers to Fitz during this terribly difficult time. .

Shaw66 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Somehow it's like Fitz is our friend. It happens with an occasional player on the team over the years, but Fitz is way up their on the list. We all love him, and we all are incredibly saddened by his loss. Prayers to Fitz and his family. He should take comfort in the love and support of fans all over the country, but especially from Bills fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
