ALF Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Looks like the team is trying to get Whaley out of draft purgatory
eball Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Confirms what a lot of us said regarding Tyrod's deal (i.e., now they can focus on Gilmore). Other than that, what did anyone expect him to say about Mr. Big Puff?
26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 yadda yadda yadda There's one who definitely listened. Confirms what a lot of us said regarding Tyrod's deal (i.e., now they can focus on Gilmore). Other than that, what did anyone expect him to say about Mr. Big Puff? Only so much they can say and do given the financial commitment to Marcel, but they are rightfully pissed at him.
The Wiz Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 I feel like the nfl support system for drug abuse and domestic violence is on par with Mr. Garrison. Don't do drugs, drugs are bad, mkay? Don't hit women, hitting women is bad, mkay?
Gugny Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 "Until they change the rules, we have to abide by them." I think that's a Bush League comment. I think it's something that a terribly weak leader says. You can officially count me in the, "I can't wait till Rex Ryan gets the !@#$ out of here," camp.

Blame the Mongolian Buffet!!

It sounds more like he's just had it with all of the **** that's been going on with the team.

Ryan had nothing to do with MD continuing to smoke weed. And I don't have a problem with Whaley said. Pot is legal in one form or another in half the country. But he still blasted him when the NFL prohibits players from using it.

Pot is legal in one form or another in half the country. But he still blasted him when the NFL prohibits players from using it. I have no problem with what Whaley said at all. And I'm totally pro-weed legalization. Blame the rules! Blame death! Blame the Mongolian Buffet!! Or look at it seriously and blame a lack of leadership. No - not that Rex Ryan should have prevented Dareus from smoking weed. Although a lot of people will spin it that way - mostly because it's easy. They're the same people who say, "welp, I guess we should outlaw cars because someone ran another person over. Uh hut, uh hut." But I digress. Please go back to when Rex Ryan first came to this team. Think about the suspensions. Think about the the stupid penalties. Think about the stupid on-field decisions. Think about the bonehead off-field decisions. Think about how our most gifted player handles himself with the media and with social media. Then try to think of another team who is a bigger !@#$ing schit show. The Browns? MAYBE. I don't think it's an NFL HC's job to babysit or to watch his players like a hawk. It is, however, an NFL HC's job to instill a culture of mutual respect and one in which people not only own their decisions, but they think about how those decisions will impact themselves and, almost as importantly, the rest of the team/organization. Rex Ryan has never led a disciplined team. Too many penalties. Too many stupid things being said to the press. Ultimately, too many losses. We're living that now.
thurst44 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Then try to think of another team who is a bigger !@#$ing schit show. The Browns? MAYBE. Well, first off, even questioning the fact that the Browns are more messed up shows how Bills-myopic you're being here. One of their only star players is coming back from having tested positive about 3x what Dareus did (and they are standing by him - as they should), they recently cut ties with a first round QB who is non-stop partying and will be lucky to make it to 2017, they lost most of their offensive line, and their closest thing to star players are the aforementioned WR who's barely played the last 3 years, a top-flight tackle, and a 30-year-old tight end with one great year. Then there's the Cowboys whose suspensions beat us in both quantity and quality (how many of the people calling for Hardy are also criticizing the bills for being a mess - the guy assaulted a woman on a bed of guns, fercryingoutloud) and are banking on an aging QB and injury-prone WR to pull them out of it. Did you see the 49ers mess last year? And now they're bringing in Chip Kelly. That'll calm the waters. They are favored in exactly zero games last time I checked. And then there's that team Kelly left in Philly, where their right tackle's ten-game suspension is just the start of their troubles. I'm sure if you look close enough at the Ravens, Texans, Titans, Jags, etc., you'll find issues you're not thinking of... We're freaking out about two players smoking weed. It was stupid b/c they know the rules and with the penalties and other things, and Rex being Rex, I'm not going to say there's not at least some mess. However, they're also signing their players, and just signed a QB to one of the most smartly architected deals I've ever seen, had the best running game last year and even without K. Williams that should stay the same, Watkins is likely to show why he's one of the best receivers in the league, defense may have lost some elements, but the Williamses should be back, they have a case for the best CB tandem in the league, Hughes is no slouch, and Preston Brown could still build on the promise of his rookie year. The last week has been deflating and is concerning, but this "biggest s&*(show in league" "0-6" (when playing the 49ers even), "there goes the season" mentality is overblown and silly.

The Big Cat Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 good. marcel needs support. this is not an excuse.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 "Until they change the rules, we have to abide by them." I think that's a Bush League comment. I think it's something that a terribly weak leader says. You can officially count me in the, "I can't wait till Rex Ryan gets the !@#$ out of here," camp. I can't even wrap my mind around what this is supposed to mean. It's weak leadership to support rules?

You've been slipping lately brah.
Augie Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 It's all up to 32 owners , they own the rule. ...and they may soften the rule at some point, in return for some other concession by the players. What's really important to them? We shall see...
