Defamation suits are tough to win. People are getting a little overzealous around here thinking Rudolph is getting something out of this madness.

Depends how long it takes him to get 46 carries, so I voted more than 3.

I really miss when football was just a sport, and not a microcosm of the world we live in. Everything about this is gross, and terrible for football.

Good to see Watkins still never makes a play on 50/50 balls.

Yeah, but who’s going to blame Mahomes if the Chiefs miss the playoffs? This Chiefs D is just unbelievably terrible.

I really thought when the shaded area debuted several years ago fan reaction would be negative enough for NBC to discontinue it. I don’t know how anyone benefits from that stupid graphic.

I’d like to think of it less as punishment, and more giving the guy time to settle down. If I were a coach, I’d be concerned that a guy needs some time to get his head back in the game. Sometimes fumbles come in bunches. As some sort of “discipline”, I don’t understand. It’s like when you see college coaches yelling at their kicker when they miss a field goal, it’s not like the guy wanted to miss the kick.

Thanksgiving in Dallas is a tough game, regardless of the Cowboys record. As proven by the Pats struggles against the Eagles today, the NFC is tougher than the AFC. The Cowboys and Bills might be evenly matched, but it’s not an easy game. I’m a McDermott guy, but he has yet to prove he can win a big game. Thanksgiving day in Dallas is a big game. McD’s biggest win was in Atlanta a couple years back. Dallas would be a big win this year.

Turn on the radio broadcast, Kyle Williams has made a point of praising almost every Daboll call today. I like Kyle as much as the next guy, and Daboll hasn’t been bad so far, but it’s a bit over the top and seems too forced.

This is already a QB driven league without enough good ones. Adding more playoffs teams basically means we’d consistently get to see the Trubisky’s of the world in playoffs. Count me out, I’ll start watching after the wild card round.

I often wonder when Greggo became that way. His Buffalo Bills teams never seemed to play very dirty. I’ve always found that interesting.

Now that the dust has cleared. I gotta say I don’t care much about this anymore, other than the fact it’s all pretty good news for the Bills imo. Rudolph isn’t suspended, Garrett is out, Pouncey misses some games, and who knows what will happen when these two teams meet in a couple weeks.

Yep, from what I’ve seen most players apart from the groups you mentioned hold Rudolph at least somewhat responsible as well. People who think otherwise have no clue about the culture of a locker room.

I have no problem with Garrett’s suspension. It’s just gross that Gronk actually hurt a dude. Garrett’s antics were dangerous, but Rudolph wasn’t even injured. NFL double standard apparent once again.

So how does Rudolph’s injury compare to Tre White’s from Gronk? Not saying Garrett was innocent, just saying the NFL is a joke. Right and someone got hurt. No one got hurt yesterday. What a joke.

You should already be outraged by plenty of off field incidents. They were just as bad or worse than this, but to each their own. I don’t condone Garrett’s actions, and he should be punished accordingly. I’m just saying the outrage is a bit over the top imo. It’s so 21st century.

I agree, I’m just saying it’s become second nature to just forget about it. In reality, the NFL needs better discipline both on and off the field. Maybe things like this wouldn’t happen. My point is that people will be outraged about this, and never forget it. Garrett is permanently public enemy number one of the fans and media for the rest of his career, while a guy like AP will continue to be worshipped by fans and media. AP’s transgressions were far more disturbing to me than Garrett’s imo.

I’m with you. Garrett simply took it way too far, and I don’t condone it all. However, anyone who thinks Rudolph is purely a victim is mistaken. Judging by that reaction, Rudolph said or did something that violated “man code” or something. Anyone who doesn’t feel that way has lived a sheltered life imo. Also funny how fans are less outraged when players do the same to women. Once again, I don’t condone it, but save the faux outrage imo.

Yeah, the outrage around the league is funny considering no one cared much about the Gronk hit. I guess that’s privilege you get being the big dumb funny guy on the Pats. That still disgusts me. Not saying the Garrett thing wasn’t awful, but man.

Lots of people wanting to know what this game says about the Bills. I’ve learned the AFC is complete trash with maybe 2 or 3 real contenders. The remaining playoff teams are really up in the air, but none are true contenders. We just need to find a way to be at the top of the trash heap.

I‘d worry about any game in Pittsburgh. This franchise has a terrible track record playing in Pittsburgh. It’s always tough to play in Pittsburgh, regardless of how good the Steelers are.

I was thinking of the Daboll comparison as well.

I’m beyond frustrated with our offense that lacks talent. I can only imagine how Browns fans feel about their offense that actually has talent. What a mess. Nice first TD drive, but the last couple have looked terrible.

I agree, even Brady makes mistakes. Has anyone noticed all his picks in recent big games? That’s because they are playing aggressive, and more often than not he leads them back. Allen was always going to be a Favre type player if he became elite. Obsessing over playing mistake free defensive football (McD), is not the way Allen will ever succeed. He’s a boom or bust player, you take away the bust, you lose the boom.

My greatest concern is the fact that I don’t trust Beane, McDermott, or Daboll’s ability to field a competent offensive football team. Nothing in any of their pasts indicates that ability, and it does worry me. Otherwise, I see your point that we have a young QB who needs more weapons around him.
