truth on hold Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I actually don't like this move. They got gouged up the middle last week. With mayo out and wilfork a fat shell of his former self, I was hoping that would continue. They're going to 4-3 looks more often and with their secondary they can be a good D again. Not as versatile as with mayo, but still better than last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New rules weren't in place at that time and he would have been suspended regardless of him being a street free agent.

GG Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Apparently Chandler Jones is out for a month. That's a lot of missing bodies on that defense. Apparently Chandler Jones is out for a month.

boyst Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 This is not a move I am thrilled to see. The guy can definitely play at a very high level when he wants to and I know week 17 he is going to want to show up and play. I am a fan of his. Not surprised he got cut and was bummed when he just **** the bed. any pending DUI cases need to be resolved by 11/1 or they get the 2 gamer.perhaops his is resolved. He could still get a game from Roger. I would bet the status of his cases changes rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsherman12 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Awe, don't worry, they'll be ready and fired up by week 17 with plenty of rest. Yeah that's how it goes sometimes. But the Bills at least got to play Detroit without Calvin Johnson, who might be healthy by the time they play New England. There's also a chance they will have the division clinched but won't get a bye (I can see Denver and Indy going 1-2) and might rest starters in week 17.

TheFunPolice Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 out of the Colts, Packers, Lions, Broncos, and Chargers I could see New England* losing at least 2 of those games, maybe 3, getting them to 4 or 5 losses total They just need to drop a division game somewhere to be around 5 or 6 losses going into the Bills game, so this is all VERY doable if the Bills can hold up their end and WIN!

Utah John Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Branch was a very good DT on a Bills team overstocked with great DTs. I'm surprised no one else has picked him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Branch hosed the Bills....just like Orton hosed the Cowboys. Need to have a way to deal with that kind of non professional behavior by players. Branch can play if he is in shape.....I have no complaints about the bills d line play this year, but Branch would have made them even stronger. Wynn and Charles are a bit younger for sure, but not with the pedigree of Branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wynn and Charles are really coming into their own this year. Branch was a good run stuffer for us, and I would have been fine with keeping him over, say, Corbin Bryant, but oh well. I'm not surprised no one picked him up prior to now. He looked dreadful in preseason, not to mention the off-field shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
