Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Am I the only one not throwing the D under the bus yesterday. While I don't give them a free pass, we turned the ball over 3 times and went 3 and out 5 times in a row at one point on the other side of the ball. Historically you give Brady 3 extra possessions he's going to tear you apart and hang 500 yards on you. I was more upset with offensive play than defensive play yesterday. The D deserves to be thrown under a series of buses. They appeared to be taking the afternoon off against a machine of an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The D deserves to be thrown under a series of buses. They appeared to be taking the afternoon off against a machine of an offense. I think they have. It started with Kyle Williams. who did show up Sunday. Hopefully Thurman drove over them repeatedly to make the point. But we all have to move on to Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I thought the charges were dropped. Kromer should have come back when Brady did. Imo Yikes ! I agree completely with Leroi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Yikes ! I agree completely with Leroi Leroi of all people should know that his boss was the one that suspended him, not the NFL. Came down in house, not from the league.

Leroi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Leroi of all people should know that his boss was the one that suspended him, not the NFL. Came down in house, not from the league. Still, doesn't change the fact that the charges were dropped. He is INNOCENT. Why is he being punished for something he was not negligible for? It makes no sense and he should be reinstated ASAP. We need him. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charges being dropped doesn't mean he was innocent at all. It means that the family decided not to pursue it in criminal court; that could be because of a settlement (hush money) or the lack of hard evidence supporting their story that would lead to a win in criminal court.

Suspend him indefinitely until this gets resolved. Zero Tolerance. I am hearing that this was pre-meditated, Kromer set these guys up, caught them red handed. Kromers son stayed behind to help the minors gather their belongings, while his dad stormed off in a fit of rage. Wow!! Exciting yet embarrassing.

thebandit27 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The situation is resolved. He should be re-instated... Imo So whatever he actually did is no longer a concern because the two parties reached an "amicable settlement"? He did something, and whatever it was got him suspended. He serves his suspension until it's over. He's not getting to come back to work early simply because he's valued at his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 While I know that our defense was the worst part of the team yesterday, the oline didn't look to hot either (8 sacks and poor showing on passing downs, also breakdowns on some rushing plays later on in the half). I also realize that the pats********* were showing up with 8 man fronts after the first few drives but honestly their play was atrocious anyway. If I'm not mistaken kromer is suspended for another 4 games, but I'm wondering if anyone thinks his presence in games could make this unit look as good as it did during the preseason. Hopefully so. Go Bills! Rewatched last night. Several times a four man rush or a late 5 rusher came in untouched. They have some work to do. McCoy found most of the holes he ran through, they weren't exactly paving the way. Cordy was very bad. Add in Tyrod stepping the wrong way in the pocket a few times and not pulling the trigger quickly enough a few times, et voilà... 8 sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Defensive players are faster than ever. You have to get the ball out in 2 seconds or you'll pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 On NFL insiders 9/24 at the end , discussed why more QBs are getting hurt. Polian, not enough practice time in pads for OL to work together before start of regular season. Spread offense in college is too different from NFL OL Not having Kromer makes it a lot worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not having Kromer makes it a lot worse im one of his bigger advocates, but missing him for a few weeks isnt making it A LOT worse. would he help? probably a little. but hes been here all offseason, and has had an assistant with him to plan for it.
