DrDawkinstein Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 WIth these guys getting $24,000 into their accounts each week, it's astounding they'd draw guns over $2500 owed from a card game. A good creative thought there though... Thats not how it works. but your point still stands.
oldmanfan Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 The over-reactions around here reach child like proportions. Dust ups occur frequently in camp. Hughes dfiles off the handle for a minute, the coaches trake care of it, and suddenly it's he's getting traded and the GM is compared to a murdering dictator. Hughes from all accounts is abusing guys across from him in camp daily and fits the scheme perfectly. You people are unbelievable.
row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 How many playoff games with Hughes? How many times has this clown basically sabotaged a game with his hot head? Your not talking JJ Watt talent here. Bills fans love their personalities, I love wins more. This season when a man has gone into a hairy spaz for the first 15 yard penalty, GET HIM OFF THE FIELD and let him settle down before the second rains down on the Bills.
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Remember these guys are human too. He could have something going on with his wife or family and just showed up to practice in a sour mood. We have all done it, showed up to work like someone pissed in our Cheerios and had to explain it later. Dammit. Now i want some cheerios. But not because u said there's piss in it.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 How many playoff games with... (Fill in the blank)? How many times has this clown basically sabotaged a game with his hot head? Your not talking JJ Watt talent here. Dont give me that "how many playoff games" BS. Totally illogical, especially for a team who hasnt been there in 17 years. Name me the games he's single-handedly sabotaged...
row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Thats not how it works. but your point still stands. Oh, I've handled and investigated the accounts for several pro athletes and actors and other celebs. yeah, they are taking in this kind of coin into their life. You've found it differently seeing their bank statements? I'd like to hear this...

Basically 8-10 checks a year, I believe. That's all I was saying. But if you want to measure dicks, sure, I've done mortgages for Jay-Z, Robert DiNero, and plenty of other NY celebrities, but that doesnt have anything to do with what we're talking about so let's just chill out.
YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I suspect the coaching staff is trying to get a handle on Hughes situation with with bad PF penalties before the actual games start. Something Rex was unable to accomplish. I would think most of us ageee that should be a priority, no? Not sure what it has to do with Jauron or Chris Kelsay. I don't really remember Jauron getting into it with players. Edited August 14, 2017 by YoloinOhio

Maybe you didn't get the memo, this is a team now and selfish players are not going to be around long. It's pretty alarming to hear his DC uttering phrases like that. Do you suppose Leslie is the only coach that thinks Jerry acts that way? Or would you suppose that issue has been communicated amongst the staff? Jerry has a long history of doing dumb things on the field these new guys aren't into it. With his contract I don't think he has a ton of value and I don't expect a trade. I think the major moves are done and they plan on trying to compete with this high school offense.

Their personal accounts are filled constantly with a large sum of $$$$... some three times a week with the expenditures they love to handle. So how can you owe $2,500 for a few weeks with to a teammate when you have this kind of liquid cash flow. You started it baby....

There are a lot of "Thousand-aires" in the NFL, and they run out of cash during the offseason.
dave mcbride Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Yup. Kick all of the talented players off of the team and start from scratch to rebuild the culture. It worked for Pol Pot... LOL!

His contract is actually quite modest for a starting pass rushing DE who flashes elite pass rushing skills. He's very tradeable, although I doubt it happens.

BigPappy Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 These are all GOOD signs if you look at the history of the Bickering Bills of the 90's. Some of those guys were fighting and bickering on and off the field all the time. But when it came to Sunday, they were kicking a$$ and taking names. IT just shows their getting emotionally invested in the team and they are passionate about playing well. Unless someone pulls a knife or gun (God forbid) I'm not going to worry about something like this.

Save it for the second string TE. Mixing it up with the QB is just ... stupid.

I don't really remember Jauron getting into it with players. This was my first thought as well. I hate moving on from Sammy but if we are led to believe that maybe he and Darby hadn't bought into the culture that is damning. Hughes has been someone I've wondered about a lot this off season. He can be at times a great pass rusher and at other times draw ridiculously bad offsides or pf penalties. We can all agree that he needs to get that aspect under control. He is as frustrating as he is exciting. It seems like today was rough from a management perspective. Players were moved and the team didn't agree. From reports they were loafing and going through the motions which drew the ire of McDermott. I like that. As a coach it is his responsibility to keep the team together during tough times. I hope he can but this team has used up all of its good will with me. I'm glad he addressed the poor performance. Part of the BIlls problems over the years has been folding at the first sign of struggle. Maybe that will change but until I see it... Show me the baby!
CommonCents Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 His contract is actually quite modest for a starting pass rushing DE who flashes elite pass rushing skills. He's very tradeable, although I doubt it happens. The only time he was elite was when everyone else around him was also elite. He is a decent pass rusher but he has always been a total headcase. I wouldn't care much if he was shipped off. He does seem like a "me" first player, more than anyone else on the roster.
