Trolling is bad, mmmkay?

He's obviously just trolling everyone in this thread (for some inexplicable reason).

That must have been extremely hard for them to do since Goodall has been the only NFL Commissioner during this CBA.

If you get told that someone is...." Just as proficient with their left hand as they are the right. They are amphibious.", do you report that they are ambidextrous....or indeed amphibious?

Yet you jump into this thread early on with strong opinions. I think you care about the media pains....just a little bit.

IMO he should have conveyed what his sources actually meant rather than directly quote something that he(very most likely) knew was going to be misrepresentative of the situation. Actually, I wasn't aware of that. I guessed the concept in my attempts to be fair to TG (trying to think of reasons why 2 individuals would both incorrectly use an uncommon term).

Unless the word "Rogue" has become a bit of a fad word around Bills HQ it seems quite strange to me that 2 seperate sources would use it....particularly since it is being used outside of its standard definition. I suppose it could also be that Whaley has a group of people at OBD that dislike him and gossip with each other, and as consequence end up using the same adjective.

I don't think that it has been established that the word "rogue" was a direct quote or whether it was a (poorly?) chosen word by TG.

What do you do when you can't complain about the starting OL anymore? Start whinging about the backups. For a team that has had a crap roster for over a decade, I'm constantly surprised at the unrealistic fan expectations for total perfection.

Really?

Well said.

You forgot the question mark after "radio".

According to that article, the NFL can still give out a different punishment to Brady for his offenses. If that is in fact the case, I think they should go with a full 16 game suspension. That'd be sweet.

I have been using it for several years now (from Australia) and last week was the first time it had major issues.

I don't think that driving a car onto the field would be covered. Perhaps if McCoy isn't quite healthy in week 1 he could do his RBing from behind the wheel. The legal system is a joke. There should be more focus on the intent of the laws and justice rather than the minutea of the language. Absolutely rediculous!

Let's see... Last year 9-7 This year...better OL, RBs, TEs, WRs....theoretically better coaches/coaching, QBs....same Defense and ST. Sure, 10-6 is obviously our ceiling this year.

I think there might be a bigger link between not swimming and drowning.

Nothing new in that article.....and why would you expect anybody to be happy?

I concur. He sounded like a true Aussie.

No worries on that. I think however you are reading more into that string of events(RB starting nods and RB acquisitions) than what was actually there. As I see it, we had a 1st round RB who was starting....Fred was an UDFA. The 1st rounder faltered so Fred took the reigns. The new HC Gailey was not convinced that Fred could do what he wanted(and/or he fell in love with CJ) so he drafted another 1st round RB. Fred then showed that he actually could do the job, and held the 1st rounder out of the starting role for 2 more seasons....till he got injured. After that the team went with the multi-back philosophy sharing the starting job with Fred and CJ for several more seasons(which was shown to be very beneficial to both RBs). I see nothing that points to FJ being unjustly overlooked through his career....apart from maybe his very early years where he had much to prove. Side note: Time stamps aren't any good as people are in different time zones(Melbourne Australia here). Post number works best I find.

What I was saying was that, contrary to what you wrote, they certainly did give Fred the #1 nod.Fred surplanted Lynch as the starter during the 2009 season and carried on as the undisputed starter through the 2010 & 2011 seasons.

Wow.

It's good to see people who know their Bills history. (Try looking at 2009-10).

You really need to stop asking open questions and then refining them after you get an answer.

This pledge/poll should really have been done weeks before the starter was selected IMO.
