Your Dad started it in your name on the day you were born. How is it moronic? Bates came in and played very well when pressed into duty. Watching Ford getting eaten alive apparently is better just so we have Bates in case someone like Ford gets hurt tho? McD is the one who said he won't start him because he is too valuable.

But that versatility is the the reason why he hasn't gotten a shot in the lineup...which is frustrating because the OLine might have played their best game of the year against the Pats with him in there. So essentially, Bates could be a missing piece of the puzzle to the OLine issues but we will never find out because once Ford/Feliciano are back and ready to play, Bates goes to the bench because he is "too valuable to lose". WTF kind of logic is that? and the 2021 troll post of the year IS....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott has built a perennially contending team. Maybe stop talking badly about the best coach we have had since March Levy. I wonder what the goal was there...

Pags24 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not having Bates on the field more often in the last 2-3 years has been a mistake. Hopefully they realize it and Bates is starting today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 There's no such thing as unintentional sabotage. Sabotage is by definition intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Mike Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 You could be on to something. In my simple observational opinion, ever since he's been on the team I thought he's looked no less than decent while on the field. Granted, much of that limited playing time was preseason against lesser talent, but whenever pressed into regular season duty, not just last week, he's looked good to me. Beeen saying to my son for a while now I'd like to see him in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
