3rdand12 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 you realize that most players stood up with arms interlocked in response to the president's thoughts right? No hands over heart. They are protesting him. Not the flag. And not most players on the team, in the league. Or they didn't come on the field at all. Are all of those players dead as well since they stayed in the locker room and you don't know what they did? Thank you. If everyone considered what the Flag has meant over 240 years maybe? Aint perfect for sure.
4_kidd_4 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 You nailed my exact phrase lol.. Classic!
3rdand12 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 no wonder I'm failing. I call her professor lit. i will ask her to curve your grade. You have potential. Go Bills !
Hurricane Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Classic! Dead serious... i was going to post that.. lol
3rdand12 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I think this is another in a seemingly endless series of instances where the Bills need to put Frank Reich on the sidelines of the team instead of Kelly. I was a strong supporter admittedly. I mean sure is was after one helluva game
MichFan Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 When it comes to guys like Kelly and Thurman ... here you have guys that came to Buffalo as players, fell in love with the area and now choose to call it home when they could pick anywhere in the world. So current players need to tread lightly, because their commitment to the area is likely no where near as strong. It sounds like Shady's antics went beyond a show of unity and he was rightfully criticized for it.
Zac Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Can't imagine having such a massive ego that you felt it was your place to get up in these guys face right before the game for doing something you don't agree with. This was just truly moronic by Kelly. These guys came together and decided what they thought was best to do as a team. If Kelly doesn't like it, he needs to get over it. Hughes comments are dead on. Kelly handled this like a child. Edited September 26, 2017 by Zac
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 It should be great to hear Thurman tomorrow. We know how well he holds his tongueespecially considering that I think Thurman is tight with Shady
Fadingpain Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I personally feel the connection b/w some of our glory year superstars and current teams has been kind of cool. Only in Buffalo or maybe a few other really small markets would something like that even exist. Connecting past Bills families with the current one is a nice idea. I do understand why some current Bills may not like that, and I think Kelly should be more careful about whose toes he steps on. But surely Hughes isn't really trying to go after Jimbo, is he? If he is, that's misguided.
17 Josh Allen Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 If Thurman Thomas is taking a knee and disrespecting the flag during the National Anthem he can kiss my Azz too. if I could change my screen name I would at this moment. I just changed it about a month ago, so you have to wait 6 months. I will be changing it as soon as I can per Two Bills drive rules. The poster with name thurmanator, you might not want to see Thurman's Twitter today, he might be "dead" to you too.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I think the team wants to move past the 90s stars being the face of the franchise As great as Jim was, the greatest Bills QB no question, he still represents a team that fell short four times. And if the stories are true, we probably lost those games because he and other team members couldn't resist a party before the big game. So while Jimbo deserves the recognition and accolades that come from being the #1 Bills alum, I'm not sure if he represents the kind of team Coach McDermott is trying to build.
OhDozeBills Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I mean, everyone's opinion about this remark is going to be a reflection of how they feel about the whole kneeling issue. However, to the broader point, it is a little odd that we keep him around like we do. Buffalo is a special, tight community compared to other teams in bigger markets, but he doesn't really have a purpose on our sideline during games. You obviously don't pay attention to other teams around the league then because this is very common for past players to be on the sideline. They're a big part of the community, support the team, and I believe Jim is actually a team employee.
The Wiz Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 i will ask her to curve your grade. You have potential. Go Bills ! thanks. I try do good.

Why not just quit watching football? Bisonbrigade started a thread today to quit his fandom. Just go watch Fox News on a Sunday afternoon instead. Three words. HALL OF FAMEThree Words: fifteen wonderlic score
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 we all have our roles to play in this world perhaps. But booing our own players and or name calling is a bit weak. absolutely. respect is earned, not given.

Gugny Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I've been sick of Kelly and Thurman chiming in for years. You had your day. You blew it. Move on and let this team find its own identity.
