Tavai: “Booing fans should know their place”

[Family]

If Maye said something similar would you want him cut too?

Not cut, but his leadership ability would come into question.

And Maye is 22. Tavai is a veteran.

Still Maye should know better.

 

[Ross12]

Just a reminder that these awful fans have only witnessed 2 home wins in the last 2 years.

The most impactful undertaking that the fans can accomplish on Sunday is not to boo - but rather, simply not show up.
That would include not giving or selling the tickets to somebody else (unless perhaps to Bills fans).

Doing so would provide the figuratively loudest statement possible.

Cancel season tickets, don't buy merch, and impact Kraft's wallet. Its the only language he understands.

 

[Family]

Agreed.

We don't have a lot of pieces right now though so let's not throw one out just because he said something dumb.

It has to do with culture IMO.

I want everyone on the same page.

If a marginal player like Tavai is a loose cannon, then what are we doing here?

 

[turkeyneck]

Remember the Vrabel vs Belichick penalty duel to kill the clock? That is coaching at its finest. Mayo could never do that.

I'd like to hear Mayo give a BB-style football history lecture on the intricacies of that situation.

Ha. Who'm I kidding? That's like expecting my dog to expound on quantum physics.

 

[Zuma]

Players are frustrated with losing…thats normal. He spoke up and I don’t care.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

They really do like giving the people who pay their salaries an excuse to criticize them...as if the dog **** they put out weekly isn't enough.

He already does know better, hence why we're talking about a hypothetical scenario where he puts his foot in his mouth. Instead of a real scenario like so many vets and the HC.

That's a great answer

In general it is wrong to tell other people they should “know their place.” This is unambiguously understood by just about everyone to mean that their “place” is inferior. For me it crosses an important line, particularly from an individual employed by an organization that I personally have directly supported for many years with thousands of my hard earned dollars.

In my opinion it reflects an attitude that comes from the top. I will not be mollified by a statement from Tavai, I need to see something from The Scatback and The Nebbish, and The CEO Coach that convinces me they sincerely reject that attitude towards us.

 

[XLIX]

It is every fans' God given right to boo.

 

[XLIX]

He thinks he is better than us because he makes a lot of money and is “famous.”

He's got more money today but I bet dollars to donuts he won't have more money than the rest of us in, say, 15 years.

Hahaha this makes me think of a George Carlin routine.

Either we have no rights at all and it's a facade.

Or we have unlimited rights.

For example Tavai has the right to say what he said and we have the right to tell him to go F himself for it.

Lol just don't want him cut because of it. We don't have a lot of pieces.

 

[Grogan14]

Agreed.

We don't have a lot of pieces right now though so let's not throw one out just because he said something dumb.

He is an easily replaceable jag.
I do not agree he is a key piece

 

[PatsFan2]

Somebody should tell Jalopy Tavai fans do that when he goes in Coverage.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

"I appreciate them SOMETIMES...."
Sometimes?
What, when you see another MASSIVE check land in your account for all the sucky Entertainment?

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

If it’s not ok to boo and jeer a team that’s void of superstar talent go out week after week and regress, commit dumb penalties, get trounced by even borderline playoff teams while paying some of the highest ticket prices in the league then when is it ok?

You sir lack an inappropriate amount of outrage Best get yourself a torch and pitchfork as your fan card has been placed on double secret probration.

Fans are frustrated with losing. They spoke up and he shouldn't care.
