BuffBill Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Revis like is a huge exaggeration. But he is looking above average. You can't look at the secondary stats, gotta look at the stats of the receivers he covered. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but from memory I don't remember him giving up that many plays I wouldn't even go above average. At best I would say he looked good "for a rookie." Not in the same ballpark as Revis. This is gonna be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 our chances at getting clowney keep improving.... too soon ? I'll see your Gilmore injury and raise you a Sanchez/Geno clown show -- R. Ryan Why can't he wear a cast? Gilmore + cast >any other DB on our roster, sans cast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is gonna be ugly. Thats because you don't know what you're talking about. No offense. There was a huge write up about how dominant he was the 2nd half of the season. Read it. He didn't give up a TD in his last 11 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Awful news. Arguably the most indispensable player on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Sorry if this is repeating (at work and can't check all the posts), but Gilmore will be out up to 8 weeks with a wrist injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What is it with this team? I know other teams deal with injuries as well, but it just doesn't seem to be at the frequency or level of the Bills. So much optimism this off season and everything seems to be coming up bull **** right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 So much for blitzing..... New plan.... Step 1:Take both safeties and have them line up with #1 and #2 CB Step 2: Drop our OLB back 10-15 yards Step 3: Pray CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Not for nothing, the best player on our defense was injured by the backup safety, who was out of position and launched himself into Gilmore while trying to make a stop. That backup safety is playing because the Bills decided to play financial hardball with the starter, who happens to be the second-best player on the defense. Yes some franchises are unlucky, but some franchises create their own bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have offered him more than he is worth and his ego is just inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That backup safety is playing because the Bills decided to play financial hardball with the starter, who happens to be the second-best player on the defense. Yes some franchises are unlucky, but some franchises create their own bad luck. I see your point there, but freak injuries happen all the time and so do hardball contract negotiations. Kind of a leap to fault the FO for Gilmore's wrist. Eagles are wondering WTF you're talking about. I was thinking this too... also the Chargers are down to like 0 WRs who would start for another team and a starting LB out for the year with an ACL. At least we get Gilmore back and really dodged bullets recently with EJ and CJ. Just sayin'. Edited August 26, 2013 by YoloInTheBlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 How sad is it that while looking at the list of available CB's I stopped at McGee and said "might work for 5-6 games" FML CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think McGee is good, but we are desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Are their any teams in the league right now who have a similar situation like we do with WR's only with CB's? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I just want to quote some one else's signature on here "after Tuesday the rest of the week goes WTF" (it's either Beerball or Just Jack, I think). And BTW Byrd is the first best player on the D with Mario 2nd, right now IMO. Gilmore did great for a rookie (and yeah, damn doom and gloom, we will miss him) but still has to be a distant 3rd.
