I could be wrong but I wasn't impressed with them against the Lions. Their first TD was a blatant PI on the offense and Stafford missed open throws. Matt Ryan isn't going miss them and its in Atlanta... I see Hawks v Dallas for thE NFC Championship perhaps Hawks v Packers who are red hot.
Makes me think the difference between the good teams and everyone else is just that much higher. (Mind you the Oakland/Texans game been a lot more competitive with Carr.)
Huh? Maybe you miss read my post... especially since EVERY GAME WAS A BLOW OUT!
Ya then the wheels came off for the Giants FAST. What's sad is I can see 2 games being competitive and the other two blow outs next weekend. (I see the Pats laying the Texans out and Atlanta blowing out the Hawks.)
I think this has to be the worst wild card weekend in YEARS. I mean unless the Giants score late here the highest points scored by a losing team was 14 and the lowest by a winning team was 26. And not one was close in the 4 th quarter.
Yup it was way easy schedule. But ya play who they put on the schedule. Not like college where you pick cupcakes to face lol.
Very True! I seen a lot of worse CB out there and he is def top half of the league.
TheBandit,
I would place Gilmore probably in the 11-15 rang as a CB. Good but not elite.
I still take Butler,Sherman,Peterson, Talib,Newman,Norman,Harris Jr., Roger Cromartie, Newman over him and I know I am missing a few.
I agree! He is the unsung third member of the Pats Championship tree. They won nothing without him. (And almost got Brady killed behind that line last year in Denver.)
(Sarcasm on) oh how mean you all are! That's it we are suspending the Bills for a year because you are talking about a woman as if she was a sexual object! The HORROR! (Sarcasm off)
Sadly these post are similar to ones that got college teams suspended for the year for being "incensitive". Lol
I am not arguing tha he is a bad corner, but rather an incomplete one. If he isn't going tackle well then he better have an island like revis use to when it comes to coverage skills lol.
Also I wouldn't read to much into a snow,windy game against Brown either. Trust me in normal wether he get smoked occasionally by Brown. (He does it to everyone.)
I love BB but Cannon improvement is do to the greatest acquisition the Pats made in the off season. The return of Scar as OLine coach! That man works miracles with almost anyone on the line! The Pats OLine under him was always top notch.
What I was getting at is since he had fewer coverage snaps it inflates those snaps as the teams who are passing well probably aren't that good. It's not like he shut down Brown but rather the Steelers used Bell to smash the Bills thus instead of his usual 15 attempts to Brown he only got 5. Meanwhile Gilmore performed poorly in taking down Bell..(as did everyone else) thus how everyone here is stating he is a poor tackler.. using a player I see all the time, Butler, he is a dang good cover corner but he also lays the wood down on RB as well so does Logan Ryan (who is not that good lol)
Reading the posts I just have ONE big question. Could his numbers look so good because teams just didn't pass that much on the Bills? I do know they were ranked 30th against the run but 6th against the pass, which makes me think people pretty much BULLIED Rex's bullies.
I would say the sample size is to small to draw a fair conclusion one way or the other on Gilmore.
It does beg the question why they only did it twice though.
I think Prince will come cheaper and he is a decent tackler as well. I was pretty much trying keep the O intact and rebuild the D as much as possible, as that was the biggest glaring need IMO.
Then I must of been a bigger idiot than I thought. Can't you let a man have his bad auto correct!? Lo
I must have either seen the wrong number or went down a line when reading lol. So make it $34 million.. and I was keeping TT
My bad I forgot put the ' in and it auto corrected..
You have 23 million cap space, who do you go after in FA and who do you resign of your own FA?
Also who is your #10 overall pick.
If I was GM I would try keep Woods as I believe the O is in good shape with weapons and I don't want have to use a draft pick on another WR. I would let Gilmore walk and I would try sign Prince Amukamara to a 2 year deal. He has potential and probably be cheaper than Gilmore. I would also target Claiborne from Dallas.
In the draft I would grab Jonathan Allen if he fell to the Bills or if he wasn't available try trade down to the mid teens and get Malik McDowell from Michigan State. In the second I get a QB like Pat Mahoney from Texas tech.
I got physically ill for you Buffalo fans when I saw Jay "I suck more than any Vacuum cleaner" Cutler was going be your QB. That will guarantee a 4-12 season.
You put your playmakers with a Breese,Brady,Big Ben etc and I will say Watkins has a career year and McCoy has over 2k all purpose yards.. the bills have two very very good weapons that are under utilized IMO.
Except this year you went 1-1, but failed win any other games in the division. I mean the Bills were the 40% of the Jets win total. Then add in 2 heartbreaking losses to Miami (by total of 6 points) and you would go from 7-9 to 10-6 (just winning 3 out of 4)
