DC Tom Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I think the Bills should go with the tried and true "We didn't do it, and it didn't make a difference in the outcome anyway" defense.
Doc Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I think the Bills should go with the tried and true "We didn't do it, and it didn't make a difference in the outcome anyway" defense. And destroy the audio and video recordings.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 @JaySkurski BN Blitz: #Bills respond to report they may have broken in-stadium noise rule against #Patriots http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/09/21/bills-respond-to-report-they-may-have-broken-in-stadium-noise-rule-against-patriots/ Quick! Fire the sound effects guy and delete the tapes! You have no proof. We cooperated fully.
DC Tom Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 And destroy the audio and video recordings. Don't they do that every time they make new recordings?
Badasss Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 If they want to take away our 1st round draft pick, I'm OK with that. They can have EJ.
Doc Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If they want to take away our 1st round draft pick, I'm OK with that. They can have EJ. They'd fine and take a 5th round pick from the Bills, like they did the Falcons.
JohnC Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 It has indeed become predictable who will say what about a story on the Pats*, but that includes you, WEO, HOFW or John C. coming along to clean up for them no matter what the alleged infraction. Before you feel the need to reply, yes, I,too, am predictable on that subject. What you failed to note is that the judge ruled in favor of the Pats and Brady against the league and the unethical and incompetent commissioner. The distinguished judge not only forcefully repudiated the league's stance in this ridiculous case but during the proceedings from the bench he mocked the ludicrous responses the league offered for his pointed questions. When you are on the side of foolishness you shouldn't be surprised that you end up on the losing side against common sense and good judgement. I feel offended! How dare you put me in the same category with WEO. He is in a category of his own.
JohnC Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Any judge that would offer the "the player didn't know he could get suspended if he cheated" defense is a class A moron. That he showed up to a Hampton's party a few days later and, by chance, Bobby Kraft was there tells me the guy wasn't so distinguished. But this saga isn't over. Roger Goodell consistently gets his rulings overturned when his judgments are reviewed by neutral eyes. You are then surprised with the result in this case. If you really believe that the judge's ruling is going to be overturned in appeal (two years down the road) then you are not simply misjudging this case you are grossly misjudging this case. As I have said in prior posts Abby Lowell who is recognized as being one of the top civil/criminal attorneys in the country was asked what were the league's chances of winning their case on appeal. He said zero. What you and others fail to understand is that the substance underpinning this case had little to do with Brady and the Pats. It had everything to do with institutional corruption of the league office and the unethical behavior of an arrogant commissioner. Justice prevailed and you are unhappy. That's what happens when you are on the wrong side of common sense.
billsfan89 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If it's conclusive then fine the Bills.
r00tabaga Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Should cost a Pick but not a 1, 2 or 3.
Mr. WEO Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 well when you hurry up with a no huddle what can one expect. They do that shite in every stadium "everybody does it"
/dev/null Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 What difference, at this point, does it make?

You would think this because everything is very simple in your world...yet despite this, you struggle to acknowledge the obvious. Weird... Edited September 22, 2015 by Mr. WEO
HalftimeAdjustment Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I too hated the train noise last time I was at the game, and if a fine and 5th round pick is what it takes to get rid of it I'm not sure I'd be upset. However, if the league hasn't given "notice" of the fact that a train sound triggered too late can cost a team money and draft picks, then it could be challenged in court. Just make sure that the same judge hears the case. Also I look forward to the courtroom sketch of Rex Ryan.
Prickly Pete Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) They'd fine and take a 5th round pick from the Bills, like they did the Falcons. The League isn't going to dole out a punishment to the team, but you can all do your part. Take care of it "in house". I think Bills fans (that care) should punish themselves (take one for the team), to cleanse themselves of this sin. That way youze guys won't feel guilty should the Bills win the Super Bowl. How about striking your own toe with a ball peen hammer? Maybe some self-flagellation out in the parking lot? Edited September 22, 2015 by HoF Watkins

Saxum Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) can you imagine the outrage if they did it in foxboro? Can you imagine all of the same fans lining up to defend them? I heard the problem was they could not hear their spotter on the sideline; every time the P*tri*ts would go to line a radio station from Boston would be heard on headset/ Edited September 22, 2015 by Koolaid
macnmotion Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Setting aside any discussion on whether or not the horn was played at the wrong time, I join with those who can't stand it. It's played on almost every single defensive play. I'm only hearing it over the air (I live outside the country) so I can't imagine how annoying it must be to season ticket holders. Many years ago (when I was a season ticket holder), the Bills used a video of a buffalo stampede to rile up the crowd (it changed to buffalo stampeding through snow in colder months), but they only did this on 3rd down, and certainly not every 3rd down. That had cachet to it, I think.
May Day 10 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I actually don't mind the horn... but I would like to see it used less. When the defense takes the field and 3rd downs is fine
JohnC Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Are you a loyal little? Yes. This sports radio show doesn't always highlight sports which makes it more interesting. Tony K doesn't like to have athletes on his show because he believes that they are boring and have nothing to offer. One former pro athlete that he had on and he later gushed over was Cal Ripken. Tony K periodically brings on Abby Lowell to answer legal questions of the day and explain what the core legal issues are. What makes Abby Lowell a terrific legal analyst is that he can with clarity describe what the salient legal issues are so a lay man can understand. What was rare in the Lowell interview involving the Brady decision was his non subtle display of contempt for Goodell in the manner in which he manufactured his own rules to suit his end game. Usually he objectively describes the positions held by the parties. In this case he was not able to mask his feelings toward the commissioner's attitude and approach in this foolish case. Lowell is a strong believer in the rule of law and process. In this case AL felt that RG was making a mockery of the process. That went against the core of what he (AL) stands for. Tony K is a professional curmudgeon who isn't too adept with techie stuff. He also gets lost a lot when his usual route is not available. We are kindered spirits. Edited September 22, 2015 by JohnC
