Kelly the Dog Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Brady camp and NFLPA to file grievance against the Jets for cutting IK for no reason, saying, "Granted, there are rules in place against punching other players, but there is no clear punishment in place for "sucker-punching" someone. You cannot find it in any of the CBA or player conduct rules. So he's innocent, and you cannot cut him for that without telling him before practice if you sucker punch anyone today, we can cut you."
Stads Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Hilarious, but not good for the Bills since Geno was the worst QB on the roster. Im dying to know what the fight was about. Since he is a LB, Geno has been throwing to him all camp. Geno got mad when he dropped a few.
BarleyNY Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Funny that Cassel is held in so much higher regard than Fitzpatrick. They are both in their 11th season and have very similar stats: Cassel: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/8644/matt-cassel Fitzpatrick: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/8664/ryan-fitzpatrick Also, the Jests situation is hilarious.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Their coach said it was a sucker punch but the article said Geno put his finger in IK's face so I wouldn't call that a sucker punch. Either way he should get suspended for the year, way to ruin your career idiot. I think we would have to concede it meets the definition. Geno may have put his finger in IK's face or said something, but we all know there's an NFL locker room etiquette and the correct lockerroom response to a mouthy teammate is to say something back or maybe a shove, at most a jab to the ribs, not a punch to the jaw. I'm sure Geno, the incumbant starting QB, was not expecting a punch to his face by a backup LB. suck·er punch noun noun: sucker punch; plural noun: sucker punches; noun: suckerpunch; plural noun: suckerpunches 1. an unexpected punch or blow.

That, and the evidence presented clearly does not comport well with the Ideal Punch Law. So proper procedures were clearly not followed and it'll be up to New Commissioner Robert Kraft to overturn the JESTS' punishment and reinstate IK on the JESTS.
LB3 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I'm so pissed at Whaley for not signing [insert crap QB picked up by the Jets]! He's asleep at the wheel. Edited August 11, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall

Prickly Pete Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I can't recall a guy that blew games in the last 10 minutes as often as Fits. Great guy, some nice stats to pull you in, but blows it in the clutch. Just so disheartening, that I don't want him anywhere near this team. Edited August 11, 2015 by HoF Watkins
eball Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 1. an unexpected punch or blow. Those are the best kind.

I don't like that definition. That suggests any punch thrown outside of a boxing ring is a sucker punch.
Nitro Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Blessing in disguise for the Jets. If Fitz flames out, Smith can ease back in as a starter. Fitz does well, the Jets can take their time bringing back Smith. Smith, IMO, is not a starter. He is destined to be a very good back up. Several teams have guys who are really back ups starting.
Tyrod's Tailor Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I wonder who Boomer Esiason is talking about here? Boomer EsiasonVerified account@7BOOMERESIASON Bottom line if you owe somebody money pay your debt. Don't be surprised if you get punched in the face if you don't.

Geno looked pretty good towards the end of the year last year, and was apparently having a really good training camp so far... he's got the talent, he just needs to make consistently better choices. I don't understand why people are so quick to judge young QBs these days. I blame Luck, RGIII and Wilson.
dave mcbride Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 If Cassel starts, we will have started 3 Qbs that have started for 4 different teams in 3 years. I don't know why we haven't made the playoffs in 15 years. This story is nuts. I always take training camp reports with a grain of salt but he apparently was playing well. This seems like some legal action might be coming. You can't get blood from a stone though. I doubt the puncher has much to give.
ALF Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 They can make Orton a big offer , Jason Campbell available

I don't understand why people are so quick to judge young QBs these days. I blame Luck, RGIII and Wilson. Watching that Miami game in Week 17, it seemed like it had started to fall into place a little for him. Couple of poor decisions and a fumble but improvement. I'm a fan of the game and more good players makes the game better. I'm a little gutted for Geno, as unpopular as that might be.
stevewin Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 In the Gang Green thread they are saying there are reports in the media now that Geno owed the guy money (some said 1K)
