So I looked over and saw Frank had that stupid fucking play sheet that everyone knows doesn't even have plays on it, he was looking down at it pretending to locate the next play, so I just yelled at him to quit pretending to be a coach you stupid fuck".

Ballard: "Well Frank wants to trade you, what should we do?"

Hines: "What should you do, you should fire that idiot, that's what you should do. I am one of the fastest players in the NFL, but I'm not a bruiser, and that dumb ass plays me like every 6th play and when I am on the field he runs me up the middle. Did you see the TD I got this weekend- how many times have we even tried to run outside this year, like 3?

No, tell ya what, cut me, stab me, shoot me, just get me away from that fucking moron. Oh and while you are at it, you should fire him and then you should resign because you are just as stupid as he is, Matt fucking Pryor, dude how do you look at yourself in the mirror and how does your wife stand telling people you are a football GM."

That's how I like to visualize Hines getting out of here. Good for him, damn he just adds another layer of skill to that lethal machine.

Great fucking post! Especially the comments on Ballard and Pryor LMAO!!!

It will be interesting to see if Moss can beat out Jackson for the #2 spot, looking at his stats he only has 17 carries this season, but he's averaged over 5 yards a carry. Looks like the Bills were looking to trade him and had been holding him out of the lineup the last few games.

This is a great move for Hines....Buffalo may be the best team in the league and I can see him being a real weapon in that offense!

Apparently he wanted out so that makes sense. Unfortunately when he’s on the field your hand is tipped on offense because you know he’s not getting a handoff it’s different for Buffalo because their QB is their RB so he’ll be a good fit there

Don't expect much from Moss. Maybe he has some special teams potential, I don't know.

This was clearly a salary dump, disgruntled player move.

I think the bigger question is how many other players are disgruntled with Reich and how far are we from having a mutiny on our hands?

Bang on.

Obviously I cannot stand the dude and I am biased as hell, but I believe he is roundly disliked. At the game I spent a lot of time looking down at him on the sidelines during dead balls, time outs, etc... I was shocked at how little interaction he has with ANYONE. Dude NEVER ever ever takes off the headphones. Most of the time he's not even surrounded by players, enmeshed in the guys gravitating to the LOS as it moves- it literally is like he is out there all by himself in a little bubble. Not once when I looked down did I see him go discuss something with someone one on one, never saw him drift from the sideline to converse with a personnel group, absolutely NOTHING. How many times has the camera been focused on BB literally IN the huddle with dudes on the sideline, headset off, walking the walk with them, COACHING THEM!

Frank Reich is not a real head coach. He just is not!

If I had to venture a guess: Ryan Kelly, Smith, Nelson, Gilmore, Buckner, Kenny Moore...maybe Leonard and Jonathon Taylor. Professionalism will probably prevent an outright mutiny for most of those guys, but if I had to guess, that's where I'd start. Some will definitely leave in the off season.

Frank Reich is not a real head coach. He just is not!

He's not a leader of men. He has no business being an NFL football coach. Burying your head in the play sheet and trying to figure out how you can scheme the next play is neglect.

I hate to take it this extreme, but this is Dowhower and Infante all over again.

Good for Hines! He goes to a playoff team and will see more playing time.

Unless Moss is a good STer I wouldn't count on it. What's the rush to replace Jackson? His play with JT out has been one of the few bright spots this year.

But if he beats him out, that would mean he is better...I have no problem with Jackson, in fact it kind of sucks for him that the guy ahead of him is traded but they bring in another back he'll have to compete with. I say, may the best man win the spot! Moss was a beast at Utah, the guy averaged over 100 yards a game in 2019 and had over 4,000 yards in his career there!
