NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 17: NFL Other Games

[DaBruinz]

I heard that some of the Bills players already went back to Buffalo

They all did according to a report last night.

What a weird tweet.

 

[Kontradiction]

This is Orson Krennic.

 

[DaBruinz]

Agree. Whats he gonna do? Fine them for not wanting to play?

The players will play. The reality is if they don't they lose a game check and the chance at hitting incentives, etc.

There is nothing wrong with having a teammate's health in their thoughts and prayers and at the same time playing games, doing their jobs and providing for their families.

They will already get their game checks because the game started last night. Nothing is going to stop that. If the NFL were to try and withhold them, the NFLPA will have a lawsuit in front of Judge Doty before the league finishes the announcement because it would be a violation of the CBA.

They’ll probably get together (NFLPA and NFL) and decide when to play. Throwing fines around if players aren’t ready would be a bad look.

The low playing players will be hurt most by not being able to hit incentives.

Watching Skip and Shannon today, and Shannon is not on the show. I wonder if he took issue with Skip's comments last night and refused to work with him today...Skip is definitely not his usual self.

Yes. Sorry. Was referring to any future games (like vs NE) and as I mentioned the incentives concerns.

It's like a tweet from a 3 year old

What did he say?

 

[A Defiant Goose]

What did he say?

If Shannon Sharpe is upset about it, probably something logical and rational

 

[SHOWTIME15]

What did he say?

The Twitter mob went after him for this...

I see nothing wrong with that tweet. He's questioning how the NFL could make the schedule work basically. People need to chill and stop looking for things to be offended about. It's sickening.

Glad Michael Silver could find a way to make this about him.

Yeah it really wasn't that bad. And the last sentence was obviously meant to buffer it. He was just being rational while the "correct" response was to just be sad and act like you have to put literally everything else aside and just pray or something. You can be sad and think at the same time. I mean, the NFL lost hundreds of millions of dollars last night. That's not something you can just ignore (no matter how much I hate Goodell and Troy Vincent and company, there are horrible injuries every week in the NFL and players are professional, push aside their feelings, and keep playing -- they've been doing it their whole lives).

Everyone saying "The only thing we can be thinking about now is the player" and I was like "That's bs and you know it and you are a crappy actor"

Obligatory -- obviously I hope he's ok.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I can't imagine the ownership is just going to give up a gate like that.

At this point, I don't think they really have a say here.

so true, so sick at the mob determining how everyone should think and what they can and can't say.

Are you implying they should have continued the game? That's crazy. Sorry if I misunderstood.

It's a logical question and one I'm sure many people were wondering. I just think people hate Skip and will look for anything to get upset at him about.

I think the problem is that most of this discourse on Twitter is held by people who appear to do nothing in their lives except use Twitter.
