RyanC883 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 well, the suspension can't hurt us. Get Seymour some playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Gilmore is a good corner who had a bad game. Now Bills fans are calling for him to be suspended? Fine? Okay...I get it. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Gilmore is a good corner who had a bad game. Now Bills fans are calling for him to be suspended? Fine? Okay...I get it. Ridiculous. Well, if you're completely in the mindset of a homer I get that you don't want him suspended. But objectively -- how are you going to deter players making dangerous plays like bringing a guy down by the face mask to save a TD? Obviously the penalty isn't sufficient. That leaves you with the options of fines and suspensions unless you want to do something like simply award the other team a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtDart Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Seems like he's facing a big fine, if not a suspension. @profootballdoc That tackle by facemask seemed intentional to prevent TD. More dangerous than horse collar. IMO fine/suspension. Vid below https://twitter.com/tarheelbrady/status/776593954011623425 Well deserved if it happens. He could have ruined a stellar career because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 @tompelissero #Bills CB Stephon Gilmore was fined $9,115 for the face mask on Brandon Marshall. Eric Decker, Sheldon Richardson fined same for taunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, Mario was the problem with this defense. Thank god he's gone and now the defense is fixed. no joke. how did we go from having a great D to hating our best players. if you told me mid-schwartz that this board in less than two years would be happy mario was gone, ready to run gilmore out of town, and hate dareus..... i would have been shocked to think all 3 true.

This has little to do with the coach or specific player. What you are witnessing is a Fan Phenomenon known as "This Year's Whipping Boy". It's a time honored tradition around here that goes back as far as the board has existed, and probably beyond. Sometimes it is warranted, sometimes it isnt. But either way, every year, there will always be one "most hated" player that fans focus on all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to blame the guy we expect to be gone soon as a way to maintain hope that it'll be better once he leaves (in this case Gilmore)... but still... jeeeeeze.

He most definitely intentionally grabbed onto that face mask as the most effective way of bringing the man down and/or preventing the TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think that was a pure frustration thing (although I dont condone it) He is getting his ass handed to him AND the refs threw the flag on him on a totally bogus pass interference call.......he is about to get beat for another TD....and he did it.

He's "little" as in narrow framed, small boned, and not very muscular...by NFL beast standards that is. Just look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
