Is he sure he wants his people to see him play?

It wasn't a planned firing. This was a spur of the moment owner decision. Gettlemen was a hardliner (which is why some former players dislike him) business only type of guy. He jettisoned Steve Smith who had lost effectiveness, but wanted money on par with the best receivers. He wasn't nice about it. He let Josh Norman go to sign a ridiculously bloated contract to a division rival. He wasn't nice about it. Olsen, the tight end, wants to renegotiate his existing contract and was threatening to hold out (Rosenhaus). Gettlemen seemed disinclined to renegotiate an existing deal. Thomas, a longtime heart and soul type player (think Fred Jackson), wants a long term contract that doesn't make sense because his play has declined, he has 3 torn ACLs, and is 34. Gettlemen is apparently not a nice guy and wasn't going to give it to him. The owner calls Thomas part of the family and wants it done. Thus Gettlemen is gone and Thomas will get a new contract.

what? Did you mean their offensive line?

As someone currently living in Austin, it isn't really Texas..now if he was north a bit in Williamson county...well, he'd either be dead or charged with every crime they could think of.. I have a hard time thinking why you'd need a gun on the mean streets of Austin...like people walking Chihuahuas everywhere maybe

If he wasn't already very wealthy then he would have felt much better about the lions. Was it a factor? Sure. Was it *the* reason? No way. He would have worked with them or demanded a trade to a contender in that case.

gotta sue some...err...everybody. It's the American Dream to have a loved one killed by an entity of some sort with deep pockets. Of course, they are doing this for justice, not money. Obviously.

I often like to take financial advice from people who win the lottery

can we get the thread back to Watkins stupidity instead of the armchair economics

I'm not a sammy basher, but what does he think he's done to "change the market"?

I really wish at least the obvious trolls would get banned on this board. Seems like it's more important lately about how *many* people are on the board than anything else

people who start new topics that are already being discussed make this place less fun

How does decker fix that? People are worried about sammy's injury history and ya'll want Decker?

let's see how much they love the Patriot's Way when Hogan and Gilislee are cut next offseason then the year after Gilmore is traded off to some other team.

not really excited about either. Maclin is relying on his name recognition at this point and Decker get injured breathing heavily.

I could see him coming in as a coach

lol The Jets got rid of Damario Davis because he was awful in coverage and had no hope of covering tight ends. Jets draft Darron Lee in the 1st round to replace harris. Rookie year is abysmal. Jets trade former #1 round pick, Pryor, to Browns for Damario Davis who's on a terrible deal. Everyone believes they traded for Davis because cutting him would save them 1.7 million cap over cutting Pryor. Jets release Harris...which means they're likely keeping Davis at full cap hit. The Bills aren't the only ones who do silly things.

it was gone?

the question isn't about if you're gonna get f*cked. It's about who's going to f*ck you

Bills shut down their official message board. Board admins decided to let trolls run rampant.

It's called changing the argument. If you don't have something good to say then you derail, derail and derail. You get them talking about other things. At the very least, it confuses the argument. It's especially effective if you say something outrageous or stupid that causes the other person to feel it's so idiotic or crazy that they have to respond. The question is why people feel the need to do so on a message board that is a casual conversation. You don't really have winners and losers like a debate or a political election.

Welcome to the new world where being wrong is somehow being right

I got a report that his stool is a little runny. Freakin' bills can't do anything right. This guy is a bust.

this is old news

They have been trying better helmets for a long time. The players end up being the force against safer helmets because they feel they do something such as restrict head movement that decreases their performance and costs them money. Maybe this helmet or one of the others being worked on will be the one that finally meets the players requirements.

oh, don't you worry, there's people on this board who have whole "Got Lucky" manifesto ready to go if the Bills ever win the SuperBowl
