Maury Ballstein Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) I guess that's why they didn't want fumble fingers Fred. Guess you were wrong all those times you praised the almighty captain inactive Bryce Brown. Better than Fred indeed, although Fred is active and gets carries on Sundays as a member of the Seahawks.

Rob's House Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Strangely enough, I'm suddenly less upset with Whaley for cutting Fred. It's easier to wrap my mind around it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Guess you were wrong all those times you praised the almighty captain inactive Bryce Brown. Better than Fred indeed, although Fred is active and gets carries for some reason this past Sunday. It won`t be long little tyke until he finds a spot. I`m not going to cry,whine like you over it. Oh Freddy,oh. It`s a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Patriots released a WR today, so maybe we can swap playbooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Cierre Wood has to be ecstatic about this. Someone goes down, he's likely on the active roster. Whaleys loves his multiple W's. 5 Williams 3 Wood(s) He probably plays scrabble using players' names and likes triple letter score with a 'W'.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wait, when did this happen!? OMG this team! Fall 2010. We've changed coaches 2x, general manager 1x, owner 1x, and CEO 1x since then, but hey, feels like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s a business. I haven't cried about the Fred cut once. Calling out the wrong person. Just clowning with you as I know you've said so many nice things about Bryce. Bryce will get Da'rick level love around here for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I guess that's why they didn't want fumble fingers Fred. IIRC, they called him immediately. Fred didn't want them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't think he fleeced, the problem was you had a coach last year who would never play Brown. When he did play, he looked decent, minus the one fumble. Admittedly it was much easier to look good last season at RB as none of them were very good. But now they have Williams who did look real good. RB is the easiest position for a rookie to look strong at so are fine there, no worries about needing to start him due to injuries. At the time of the trade it looked like a good move to nab a guy buried behind Shady, who had a few bright spots. But then we found out how Kelly fleeced Whaley. Brown was pedestrian in preseason, and couldn't crack the active roster. When he was handed the starting job because of injuries, he promptly lost that job to a guy who shouldn't be a feature back. Part of the reason that Freddie's numbers declined last year is that they rushed him back too soon because Brown was unreliable. Then he gets another chance to impress the new staff yet elects to sit out nearly all voluntary OTAs. I hope that door wasn't too hard on that lazy rump on the way out.

GG Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I guess that's why they didn't want fumble fingers Fred. You mean when they called him within one hour of being released they wanted to wish him luck in his next job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I guess that's why they didn't want fumble fingers Fred. Belichick loves Fred and they called his agent immediately after his release. Fred chose Seattle over the Cheatriots. If not, this week would have been tough to say the least.

DC Tom Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I was surprised...until I recalled how good Karlos Williams looked Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'd be surprised if they cut BB based solely on a pretty good first game by Williams. Maybe it was a personality thing? I could see Rex -- to a greater extent that almost any other coach -- sending guys packing if he doesn't get the right "vibe." And isn't blue cheese dressing everyone's favorite condiment? Mine is malt vinegar. Even have a recipe for chicken wings which use malt vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Especially when they are willing to make moves. How do you want it Whaley bashers? Gutless and timid like Darcy Regier was. Waiting ad nauseum for the perfect trade or someone with some sack who swings for the fences but strikes out from time to time. I'll take the latter. Did I spell latter right? I love the reasoning sometimes on TBD: either you're fan or a hater/basher. No middle ground, no criticism permitted. For those high on Whaley, why haven't the Bills signed him to a long term contract extension yet? I suspect his last deal signed just before ascending to the GM role was probably a 3 year contract...which puts him through the 2015 season. And if he's the personnel genius some have made him out to be, it stands to reason ownership would be getting him locked up ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerbelly Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Still cannot believe we traded Lynch to Seattle for fourth round and fifth round picks (Hairston and Tank Carder). Lynch was a complete a-hole when he was here. At that point in time, the Bills made the correct decision in getting rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 How would it be better? Fred gets cut either way. In fact it would be worse to cut him now. 6. Harvin 7. Thingpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I never expected Whaley to score a 158.3% efficiency rating as a GM. He's going to throw some incompletes and picks. I'm personally still unhappy about cutting Fred Jackson. But I have to admit this: the roster has more talent now than it has in a long, long time. Considering how little Bryce Brown has meant to the Bills thus far, I'm not terribly surprised by this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 except fluellen is a vested vet - so hed be full years salary for one game instead of BB costing us like 50k against the cap. and its not like shady is being benched so who cares how he looked week 1 in that decision. I thought the reason Fluellen was cut and resigned was to get around that vested vet thing. Incorrect? Also, with Shady working his way back into the offense, I'd think it would have been a good idea to keep BB who could run the same schemes as opposed to the big north-south RBs on the roster... Lynch was a complete a-hole when he was here. At that point in time, the Bills made the correct decision in getting rid of him. Not in the locker room or on the field...
