This is horrible.  It’s one thing to criticize a players performance on the field, it’s another to say this kind of BS.   Even though we are frustrated, this is ridiculous

Nobody should ever be told to kill themselves, but the ref who made the bogus call should be politely told to punch himself in the face.  

[TheFunPolice]

The penalty was BS

 

Why even be mad at Ford?

 

Not to mention how screwed up it is to attack the guy like that

[BigBillsFan]

This is the blurring of the lines being fandom and insanity. No player should be abused with taunts of death.

I know this won’t end the thread, but it SHOULD!

  Ford should not have to put up with poor character comments such as that.  I as a fan support him as a player and a person and know he will do what he can to improve in the future.  For the record I think the penalty was a poor call in large part that in most other similar situations a player would not get called for it.  I can't even remember the last time such a penalty was called in a NFL game.

Who ever said that is a pure scumbag. I think Cody is a great player and a great guy who loves this team and loves Buffalo. He will come back next year stronger then ever! We support you Cody!!

[Wayne Arnold]

It was one mentally disturbed fan. Hopefully he seeks help before he harms himself or someone else.

  The thread should go on 100 pages solely to show support for Ford and denounce the knuckleheads who make such comments.

People are screwed up.

Idiots behind a keyboard

I'm happy and proud to have Cody Ford as a member of this team.  Period, full stop.

Keyboard warriors, internet bullies, whatever they are called, are probably miserable people

[GunnerBill]

The internet has made humanity more stupid. 

[Augie]

Buffalo rallied around Scott Norwood, and I’m proud of that. THIS is just stupid. 

[RobbRiddicksTDLeap]

I’m not surprised by this, and frankly, that’s upsetting. 
 

This is the kind of thing that has become acceptable in a world run by twitter 

[Doc Brown]

Every athlete with a social media account probably gets similar comments.  I'd stay off social media if I was a pro athlete but you forget how young these players are as they grew up with it.

[JROC INTEL]

Cody you are the man. Don't let it get to you

This is the issue with making some of these guys whipping boys on here or social media. 
There’s a lot of Ford sucks on here. On Facebook. Twitter. Problem is he doesn’t suck. We know this. He’s playing out of position probably on top of being a rookie. 
When some of these guys are bashed non stop people run with it and it becomes “fact” to a lot. This scenario is an obvious fool overreacting to a loss and really extreme. 
There should be ways to hold people accountable for this kind of stuff. It’s disgusting and embarrassing as a fan.
