That's assuming another team doesn't pick him up, and something tells me there would be a team that would do just that. 1

Not automatically believing every accusation means you’re a victim blamer. And if you aren’t immediately calling for the accused to be fired/arrested then that means you’re complicit. Yeah it shouldn't mean that but I know what you mean.
Big Blitz Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 Araiza's "team" doesn't issue that response if they know he's still on the team. He'll be cut by 5pm tomorrow. And I think by the sounds of it McD did not know some of the details. He responded to a question about that with "a few...yea." And did not sound happy saying it. Why does none of this surprise me? They couldn't and still won't to this day explain 13 seconds. 4

Just asking, because I am not sure how this would work. Didn’t we have Dotson on a list like this last year I’ll tell you what though after listening to McDermott and that press conference I don’t think there’s a chance in hell punt God is on this team tomorrow 2 1

They could, but I highly doubt they’d waste a spot there. I’m not for cutting him but it’s looking like the only option unless they have real info and think he can be cleared quickly.

Surely they wouldn’t take the gamble at this stage? We’ll see if he is cut, I guess. There is a feeling of guilty before being proven innocent around all of this. 7

And the position this debacle has placed on his team And himself as a man of character. Im proud of him. well done Coach. You answered as succinctly as was necessary imo. He's not going to spout off any clickbait headlines that is for sure. He looked so uncomfortable he may have been hoping for "13 seconds" questions. 3 2

SinceThe70s Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 15 minutes ago, Cheektowaga Chad said: Matt araiza is a rookie punter, he is young and AT BEST put himself in a terrible position and made some dumb decisions that could have derailed his professional career With that said why are fans/people so upset he might get cut because of this? being cut might be the best out come for the guy Because if the accusations are unfounded it could be the worst outcome for the guy. Are you familiar with the Duke lacrosse case from 2006? Back then I took the bait and assumed the worst of the accused - turned out that was a big swing and a miss. I have no idea whether that will be the case here but I don't see any need for a rush to judgement based solely on allegations. 5 1

vincec Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 12 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: Just watched the post-game press conference. Seems pretty obvious to me McD did not have all the facts that came out in the lawsuit. That tells me two things. Araiza lied to the Bills and the organization did not get all the facts. I don't blame the organization. Its ludicrous to think they can investigate this on their own. Knowing what they know they should have cut him before the game. Even letting him fly home is wrong. McD's reaction when asked about female members of Bills mafia was painful to watch. I've been a vocal critic of McD frequently on this board, but he generally looked broken in that press conference. I will have a new found respect for him when they release Araiza tomorrow. How can the organization possibly not be to blame? The said that they did a “thorough investigation” and then decided to cut Haack. Now it looks like they were full of crap and just did a cursory investigation before dismissing the issue. Obviously they took it very lightly which was a huge mistake and is frankly unbelievable given the seriousness of the accusations and the current environment with Watson. 3 1
