Things we wish were true but aren’t

[Diehardblues]

I guess I should just consign myself to that. I don't really understand it, though.

Well , it’s the self interest angle. They are more concerned about how it’s effected us.

And want discipline to be evenly distributed in some fashion . But each incident stands on its own merit. It’s not black and white. And some fans will never accept that grey area.

This is why the NFL has their hired gun , hatchet man of buffer. He’s there to take the heat.

 

[Diehardblues]

Lol.

Saying he's inconsistent in his punishment has literally nothing to do with, "the bigger picture." People bring it up, say they don't like it, and you guys change the subject. Every. Single. Time.

We don’t have to like it to understand why it’s in place.

I don’t think our justice system is always fair either but we need to have something in place to protect the people from themselves.

Unfortunately we can’t count on personal responsibility because not everyone will do the right thing,

 

[Haimerej]

Now you're just picking at semantics!!!!

I know, I know, you've hated Goodell for so long, that realizing your hate is misplaced is simply unfathomable, I know, I get it.

No matter how you slice it, hating Goodell is exactly what the owners want. If you want to hate the guy they pay you to hate, I guess that is OK. Knowing you, though, I don't believe so. Anyway, maybe you do.

Now you're playing the, "hater," card because you can't just let someone say they think he did something wrong.

Understanding it doesn't mean he's above criticism for his decisions.

That’s fine as long as we understand what’s driving it and why he’s so supported by the league .

Things we wish were true, but aren't: Dak is a good QB.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Now you're joking, right? Of course it was the other owners. If you really get down to it and analyze, it's blatantly obvious that he was ordered by the owners. And he's paid 36 mil plus per year to do their bidding and keep his mouth shut.

Seriously, man, this is how it's done. Common in big orgs/corporations. Why would you not buy it?

Gooddell wasn't mad at anyone. However, the other owners are, mad at Jerry for constantly bucking them.

You simply cannot be this naive. It's not possible.

Jerry was "bucking" the other owners. For 30 YEARS!

But suddenly only five years ago the owners have just had enough of Jerry.

Really? You cannot Be THIS naive! Just not possible.

Dak IS a good QB. The problem is he's being paid like an elite one. Good QBs need a lot more help to win a SB, like Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Joe Flacco.

Dak isn't likely to get that level of help with the Jones boys calling the shots, and he can't carry a team.

So basically it wouldn’t matter if we over paid him or not I if Dak isn’t great enough to overcome our dysfunctional ownership.

33 for the Rams should be fired immediately. That was an embarrassing effort. Had Jennings easily stopped for a 4th down.

How do all these great receiving TEs go completely uncovered all the time? Kelce, Kittle, Gronk.

Probably cause of their size and single coverage .

That doesn't make sense.

 

[Haimerej]

Only if it cost them money/fans.

Has any player's off field actions ever met that standard?

Goodell's actions over the last few years have actually resulted in less butts in seats. Even the people who agreed with them have to acknowledge they weren't good for the league.

Need evidence? Look no further than the fact you can't even discuss them openly on this site. Not to mention the league has done a 180°.

 

[Haimerej]

That doesn't make sense.

What point were you trying to make by saying I hate Goodell? What relevance does that have to me saying he's responsible for his decisions?

That’s not the priority revenue the league is concerned about with the fringe fans. It’s the networks and sponsors.

Most of those less butts in the seats is related more to the subject we can’t discuss not his discipline of problem players.

And his stance on the subject we cant discuss represents what the owners want to align with sponsors and networks.

Goodell is not taking these positions on his own.

What he's paid matters in terms of getting him help, assuming the Jones boys would actually make moves in free agency to help him.

But we've got a quarter century of evidence to suggest they'd likely screw it up, regardless.

That would support it probably doesn’t matter.

So the answer to my question was, "no."
