sven233 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Marrone just said in his presser that Jairus Byrd told him he was good to go before game. Marrone made the decision for him not to play. Need to get a lot of guys healthy, but looks like he will be back sooner than later. Finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Gilmore should be back soon...2nd half of the season looking promising if Manuel isnt badly hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Gilmore should be back soon...2nd half of the season looking promising if Manuel isnt badly hurt Agree. Would also be nice if we could bolster our backup QB position too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 How long do you think Byrd actually lasts before his plantar whatever flares up? Couple games maybe? I'll bet anyone that he is hurt again before the halfway point of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good. If he's ready to go, trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm glad he made him sit. For 2 reasons: 1- He might be ready but that doesn't mean he's in better shape than our other safeties, and just because he's ready doesn't mean he knows the defense as well as the other safeties. 2- Good, screw you Tyrd!!! You think that just because its a nationally televised game and you want to show off, you think we are desperate to have you play? Good for Marrone.

Big C Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) If he was ready, why not play him? Maybe he would have saved us on those bombs. Guess he may not have been as fit, but eh. Edited October 4, 2013 by Big C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd now has 10 days to get ready for the Bengals....Sounds like a prudent coaching decision on a short week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdragon2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Byrd is magically ready for a Primetime game...? Nope I'd make him sit and earn his reps in practice...he's not in game shape, and he probably was told by Parker to play so he can showcase himself. Take away his leverage, let him play normal Sunday games when everyone isn't watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdragon2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Right...Other teams can't get film of the Bills' games for the purpose of player evaluation. Can they evaluate him now after not being in any camps, pre-season games or regular season games with a well documented "condition" over 8 months removed from any actual playing time?

There's no way Byrd plays for Buffalo next year and the Bills aren't making the playoffs this year either. Trade him now for whatever you can get which could probably be a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

NoSaint Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If marrones decision was anything other than "we don't think he's one of our 45 best" I will say i think it was wrong. Especially in a game in the Afc that was decided by one score. If marrone made the call he wasn't ready to contribute as much as our 6/7th guy in the secondary good on him for making a tough call. For a guy that's played in many schemes in his short career I find it hard to believe he couldn't have been used in packages or as depth at the very least. your in the minority If seeing Byrd fail means more to you than buffalo win, I'm glad to be in the minority. That anyone is posting they are happy he was unable to showcase his skills is crazy. I'm ok if they didn't believe he could, but if you'd be happy with it being some sort of sabotage of a player who might've looked good.... Well...

benderbender Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Byrd is ready to go... to a different team. But lets get back at him and his agent by putting him on IR and franchise tagging him again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
