Hmmmm, the plot thickens. Glad we didn’t need him in NE, but I have a feeling we will need him before the season is over.

[Success]

Honestly, if we do have a run in us for the SB, I think Star will be key.  He's simply our best run stuffer when he plays, and that is our biggest liability on D when he's not in there.

Entire season, sure.  Regular season, naw.  Let him sit and get healthier.

Yea, that’s what I meant. Is he hurt?

Glad he’s back

He's had issues here and there.  Might as well let him rest for the playoffs.

[Dablitzkrieg]

Yes personal means just that.  The rest of you need to get a life, seriously 

[Pags24]

Hope all is OK with the big guy and to see him on the field Sunday, we need him no doubt about that.

Here's my 2 cents:

 

Is the coach apparently OK with whatever his personal reason? Yes? OK then - not my problem.

I don't know what his problem was. Frankly - I don't NEED to know. Personal reasons be personal.

 

Coach McDermott has earned a sufficent amount of respect from me that if he says "yeah - it's valid; take the time you need", then who the heck am I to argue?

 

Every human being goes through times of trouble. What may seem like an "end of the world" level problem to you might be "Eh - it's Tuesday" to someone else. And vice versa...

No one knows how this rumor started, could’ve been by Joe Blow in his basement apartment, but it has taken on life. I don’t think any of the Lotuleiles are on social media, but something this big should be relatively easy to verify. I’d imagine his teammates know the truth, but truly Star’s personal reasons are none of our business.

Well said and worth more than 2 cents.

 

As for Star and football I hope he can play well and help the team the rest of the season.

After this season and what happens then is best left until spring.

This makes me feel a lot better about our run defense heading into the playoffs.

[I'm Spartacus]

Glad he's back - hope he can contribute in a big way for the rest of the games & hopefully playoffs!

(we can discuss next year at a later date)

We had him for the first New England game.

He played in the Tennessee and first New England game. Does he really make that much of a difference?

I thought we missed those two games?

[aristocrat]

As long he plays the entire playoffs I'm good.

That’s great news. I, for one, am tired of the Star bashing here at TBD. Whatever his reason, they’re his and his coaches to wrestle through. They are all smart adults who know when something personal is more important than one’s job. Trust them and their discernment and judgment. 

[clearwater cadet]

Yes Beast your right, my bad.  He started both.

Some pretty sad football fans that act like the Bills are better off without him than with him....
