Not at all. Shining a light on close minded petty comments is an appropriate thing to do.
But ultimately, it's a waste of time. Like tying to bail out the ocean with a bucket. HGH....
Not only are you a hypocrite and judgmental but also arrogant. You are "shining a light on close minded", oh so YOU are the enlightened one, you are the one with the open mind, others are "parochial". Got it.
-
Since we are actually favored, I would rather go with the player that is more consistent, JW, Fitz can be either really good or really bad, rather takes my chances with JW, esp since he is unlikely to be 100%.
-
Gone, baby, gone...
You just proved my point about parochial, judgemental.
no offense there Lurker but you calling out others is equally judgmental as well as hypocritical
-
By the way, lets assume this is all true what is reported, is it really smart to tip off your opponent that you might be changing offensive scheme? I just cant see something like this coming out in Foxboro.

His behavior here was fine. He got pushed out because he was not good. Freddy was one cut and down hill-- 5 yards at a time. And marshawn just danced around for like 2 yard carries, and an occasional highlight play. Just wasn't nearly as good as Fred.
Once he got to seattle, I think he got some really good coaching and his running style really improved-- he became much more decisive and more north and south.
You seem to have forgotten how he showed up fat overweight and slow which also prompted the trade. He also missed 12 OTAs (yes I know what they are "voluntary") ML wanted out of Buffalo, anyone that doesn't remember that or chooses to ignore it fine by me.
He disliked WNY and disliked being on the Bills at the end imo, going to Seattle rejuvenated his spirit, i credit that not NECESSARILY better coaching.

What's the purpose of a one game suspension if the player can appeal it and then not be suspended?
Doesn't mean his appeal will be granted .
-
Says no teammate of his ever. Are you guys seriously holding things against him years after the fact? Are you discarding all the good he has done for Oakland? Like working with kids in the city of Oakland for example?
Sometimes (many times) I sense folks get bitter when Bills players leave.
I wonder what you folks think of guys who have truly been toxic like Richie Incognito? Or does he get a pass because he's the best pulling guard in the league?
I'm having trouble following the logic guys.
Richie has been a model citizen since being in Buffalo. While in Buffalo, ML got away with hit and run drunk driving, also got busted for 3 gun misdemeanors, and wasn't even cited fir his illegal pot use in CA.

The Saints have a defense?
Uh oh.
playing Miami helps

That's the problem as I see it. First it's a misdirected push (Oops, didn't know that was a ref, sorry), then it's a harder shove where the ref falls to the ground (Oops, still didn't know that was a ref...heat of battle and all that), then i's a swing that accidentally connects with a ref (Hey, I was swinging at that guy and sorry I hit a ref). Are we going to judge every physical interaction with a ref based on this incident? Watch for super arbitrary suspensions or fines in the future based on the degree of contact with a ref. The easier solution should be "ANY contact with a ref, intended, unintended, or accidental, in the midst of a personal foul/fight should result in a 4 game suspension." That way players won't put themselves in that situation.
That is the exact Pandora's box scenario i was referring to. Trying to determine intent could result in some very divergent and unintended consequences.

the run game was working pretty well in the second half against Atlanta. Then the next game you replace Miller for a scrub. You need to play Miller and stop messing with the chemistry. WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE OLINE COACH FROM LAST YEAR.
Agreed so far.
-
Let's not act like he pulled the guy's pants down and made him squeal like a pig. He slightly pushed him in the heat of a brawl. Perspective.
Understood perspective but there should be zero tolerance, never touch an official. You allow them that and then you have opened up Pandora's box...did he push the ref or just touch, how hard did he push, yes he pushed the ref but only slightly etc etc etc.
-
That would likely come under the flagrant personal foul section rather than contact with an official, which carries a minimum fine that can be escalated and scope for suspension.
Also, kudos for using common sense with NFL discipline. Gave me a chuckle
Ah, you got me there. There is about as much common sense with what is a catch now on the field as there is with discipline.
-
There's literally no mention of suspension in the NFL's rules on fines/suspensions for contact with an official.
Lets use some common sense, does it have to be spelled out for fines and suspensions. I will bet punching a ref in the face is also not mentioned, so does that mean he wouldn't be suspended.
I will be shocked if he doesn't get surprised. Add on top of that his "priors'. Maybe the NFL is so shell shocked over this entire kneeling thing they will try and jet let this go, like no broadcasting the nat anthem on TV anymore, just ignore it, that is the only way I think he is not suspended.
He should be charged with Unnecessarily Entering Fight Area (active involvement), which carries no suspension.
So are you implying him pushing the ref is not a factor at all? I think pushing a ref is 10x what coming onto the field but that is just me.
-
the typical sorts who dress up and go to church on sunday that never do anything wrong whining about a football players actions. hypocrites.
he was furious of the cheap shot the punk laid on carr and retaliated. was he wrong for doing so? absolutely but I can understand a teammate getting upset with that hit on his QB.
he was ejected and will pay a little fine that shouldn't hurt his pocket any and I see no suspension.
You neglected the most important thing, pushing the ref? He will get suspended.
-
Buffalo Bills in a passing league are setting up for 3 yards and a cloud of dust offensive scheme. Good thing we got Tolbert, he can get those three yards.
As someone else posted, we need to get the pass game going first to set up the run, this isnt the NFL of 1960
-
Some things never change with Lynch, he's a straight up gangsta!
Really, elaborate please, this could be entertaining, I want to be educated.

No ivory tower at all. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, things I'd wish I'd never done. And believe me; I’ve been called out on those mistakes. I believe everyone deserves a chance to be redeemed. The issue I have with Marshawn is he shows time and time again that he has zero remorse despite positioning himself as a leader of his community. I don’t think encouraging poor behavior, especially among people who put themselves in a position to be a role model is a good way to encourage younger kids who may look up to the person. It goes beyond being an athlete, and to a larger problem where men don’t understand the massive responsibility they have in society. But whatever is clever I guess. He will be hilarious until he is not, and then he will be another sad story.
Good for you sticking up with your opinion, not sure why people are dumping on it. Marshawn is a lovable buffoon..until he is not, true. Something tells me 10 years out of the league his shtick wont be greeted with the laughter it is now.

NFL suspends Beast Mode for one game. Raiders front office agrees and takes no action. He will be on the sidelines next Sunday in Buffalo acting like the jackass that he is.
LOL, most likely scenario. Of course every move he makes on the sidelines will be captured and it will turn it into some massive insult to the Bills and WNY.
Actually I think a 4 game suspension which will immediately be appealed down to 2. NFL has to come out real strong on this, can't start intimidating refs.
1) Comes off the bench
2) gets involved & fights with other players
3) pushes ref
4) like the idiot he is he goes up in the stands and is splashed all over social media, smart move rub it in their faces about being ejected
-
If the NFL continues on the path of over-analyzing each and every play, officials effectively deciding games on arbitrary and some times made up rules bizzare interpetations. I can barely watch it sometimes now, esp after the Bills/Seahwaks last year.
-
After that (inexplicable) extension, they can't.
2X, yep
But give OBD credit for consistency, they want team players and good guys, i think ole Eric Woods checks both categories

6 pages of impassioned debate on this, LOL.

A fraud? He seems to be walking the walk, to me. He seems to be putting his money where his mouth is.
He seems to be doing a lot more to improve things than - I'd estimate - 90% of the people speaking against him.
One might not agree with his beliefs. One might think the injustices he speaks about aren't real. But to call him a fraud? He's as genuine as genuine gets, in my opinion.
Do I agree with everything he's done? Absolutely not.
But I will opine that he's done more good for this country in the past couple years (and then some) than most do in a lifetime.
Exactly what "good" has he done.
Let me think, changed any racists minds? LOL of course not.
All he has done is divided an even more fractured country.
-
I could, but would see no reason to. That would be petty of me, in my opinion.
I understand it's my business, my only point is to refute everyone that says, "anybody else would get fired if they did that at their job" . Not in this case.
Bad analogy. Your employees are not "the product", in the NFL the players are in fact the product, nothing more than physical actors on a stage. people pay to watch the product and if they dont like for wahtever reason and stop watching/buying, then your bis gets hurt..
