Stating they're dealing with a disease isn't giving them an excuse doe...

^^that ish is not a disease. Cancer is a disease. Being a drug addict is a choice.

This,it'd be an excuse if it was some made up bs. These dude's seem to have serious problems
Addiction/pyschological dependence is a very real thing though

I'm fine with calling it a disease (as we've seen it can be), still up to the individual to get help. If I'm diagnosed with cancer I can either go try to fight it and treat or I can just let it take its toll on me

If it was alcohol then .. An alcoholic will continue to drink despite serious family, health, or legal problems. Like many other diseases, alcoholism is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person's lifetime.
I'm not sure what he was busted for though.

I dont disagree with that.
because they deal with addiction isn't absolving them of their responsibility to it is all I'm saying

being a drug addict is not a choice
trying a drug is
but once you become physically and mentally addicted to it, the drug runs your life. there's scientific studies that support this notion.

I agree but there comes a point when you choose to get help or continue to ignore the problem
I think using the term disease gives people a false sense of thinking it's ok "I keep messing up because I have a disease not just a problem"

This is what many of us thought or think will happen immediately after the Revis/Browner departure, but I'm not so sure that's Bill way of adjusting this time around. One of his major philosophies on D (might be his #1 rule) is to ALWAYS remain disciplined while covering your assignment. He wants his guys to set a hard edge, chip in on TE seam/crossing routes, spy the QB, cover lanes, etc. Pretty much the opposite of cutting the dawgs loose.
He hates giving up big plays. HATES it. That's why (pre-Revis & Browner) he barely took risks on that end. You almost never see him acquire pure pass rushers or have his guys end up w/ big sack totals. BB wants his guys to be able to do it all while being disciplined. I just find it hard to believe he's willing to compromise that at this stage when it's always been one of his core principles. We'll see though.
That's my biggest fear.Pats are just cheap , always have and always will be :/ honestly , go all in since Tom has 3 years max left
its going to be a "lets out gun and out score , forget defense" next season

It is 100% a disease. Very ignorant statement. I have friends and family that have no control over this disease and they've gotten help and can't fully recover.
I also thought Blackmon was out of the league. Isn't this his third time now?

When you're an addict there's a million reasons you will give yourself to think it's ok...and I'm sure know that's one of them too..I just dont think it's any different than any other irrational logic someone in that position might give you to continue down that path
Classifying it as such could also help someone understand the severity of help they may need as well to get their life in order
