You're not upset? You started a thread about it... You don't have to watch "these skits". I might even agree with you that they're very rarely entertaining or funny, but at the same time it's a great time to get up and grab a beer, more food, go to the bathroom, etc. I'm usually too busy high-fiving and talking about the play to even notice the celebration after the Bills score.

Just annoyed. Don't have to be upset to start a thread. Since I'm watching the game kind of have to watch the bad acting, I'm not changing the channel ever time some diva does their dance routine.
JerseyBills Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 They are getting so annoying. Anyone notice Bills players don't do it? I love it.. Shady has his dance, besides that,none of this ridiculous group nonsense that's getting played out real quick. 1

Bad Things Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I'm normally the type where I think the player should act like they've been there before. Professional, you know. That said, the celebrations that I've seen have been pretty fun. Go for it! (I should say that I don't really watch a lot of football anymore, so my opinion may change if I did watch more of it.) 4 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: True. I remember. But overall, it seems we don't do much of those celebrations, compared to rest of league. It's probably just because we don't score a lot or have much to celebrate. 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I don't mind, but it does point to how shameless people are becoming. The choreographed routines, take time and energy to practice. That time and energy is shamelessly misguided and not prudent. IMO, better spent elsewhere. The over the top stuff just isn't classy. It destroys honorable gamesmanship.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Pretty soon teams are going to hire team choreographers like team chaplains and team psychiatrists. 1
Virgil Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 The pre-planned, elaborate ones are a bit dumb. However, players used to get flagged for emotional, in the moment, celebrations before which was worse 1
Talley56 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Love the celebrations. The way I see it, let them have some fun. As long as they aren’t taunting they aren’t hurting anyone.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 The new "in" thing seems to be half the team posing for a picture in the end zone.

It destroys honorable gamesmanship. They aren't using practice time to do this. I think they're corny for the most part but going off of that, and it destroying "honorable gamesmanship" which simply doesn't exist in the NFL is just a joke. I just wish they were better. These celebrations suck, TO with the Sharpe, popcorn, or pom-poms, or the star, or Moss with the fake moon in Green Bay, or Joe Horn with the cell phone. Those were all funny as hell to me. Or how about Stevie vs the Jets with the plane crash or the time he did the Plaxico and shot himself in the leg. The guys are just lame in the league now. 4 minutes ago, re enlightener said: yet you have time to write how you dont have time to worry about them. shouldnt you be worrying about something instead? I'm totally lost. You're being sarcastic right?
T-Bomb Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 The NFL brought them back to help with the slumping ratings, but the ridiculousness of the celebrations is turning off as many people as the anthem protests... They know they have a league on the decline, next we'll see jumping shark halftime shows.
