Freddie's Dead Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Wonder if we had Felton for game one if we beat the Ravens, nice cost savings Russ/Whaley, we could be 5 - 1 Nope, because Roman wouldn't have used him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Lynn! man,what a difference in the offensive play calling McCoy keeps doing his Barry Sanders impression in making opposing players look like they are playing in sand! 3TD's with 140 yards on the ground. 16 offensive first downs rushing!! Made Chip Kelly think wtf was I doing in trading this kid away? Tyrod was very efficient and made a very sub-average receiving corps look good. Oh hell, it's a team game and the entire team made me proud to be a Bills fan again. They all get a game ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folz Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 LeSean - No explanation necessary, but I'll also mention that he had at least 3 or 4 great blitz pickups today. Robert Woods - 5 receptions, 4 went for first downs and one for a TD (talk about maximizing production); plus great blocking all game. Tyrod - Running, passing, controlling the game. Everything you want from your QB. O-Line - A little shaky in pass pro early, but played like monsters the rest of the way. The Gut - Kyle and the Brown Brothers, shutting down the middle and for the big 3rd and 4th down stops. Schmidt - Although he wasn't needed in the first half, he came up huge in the 2nd. One thing at least we can say as Bills fans is that we haven't had to worry about punting for years (going from Moorman to Schmidt). You never notice the punt game until you don't have a good punter. Let's face it...a total team win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Or it freed up cap room? You don't make cap space before the season opener, that is done in the offseason. The team's job is to field the best team possible not worry about penny pinching. Edited October 17, 2016 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Nope, because Roman wouldn't have used him at all. you mean when Gronk was getting blown up on the Field, Roman wouldn't have used Felton?? He could have provided a few key blocks that could have resulted in a touchdown which is all we needed to win. I know this, he was not here for the first game nullifying his contract and then "suddenly" Gronk was released and Felton returned, Tell me what "football" reason would there be for this? none. it was cheapskate move to save a couple bucks that could have cost us the first game and possibly a playoff spot. If we miss the playoffs by one game remember that money was more important than fielding the best team as everyone knew Felton is better than Gronk. Hopefully Pegs learns from this and doesn't allow Russ to pull a Ralph again. Edited October 17, 2016 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it...a total team win! And before Moorman, we still had a fantastic punter in Chris Mohr who was a wall for a decade. You don't make cap space before the season opener, that is done in the offseason. The team's job is to field the best team possible not worry about penny pinching. I don't know if the penny pinching came because our OC had no use for the player or if the team felt that Baby Gronk was better than Felton.....I think it was the former.

Sal from WGR said that Felton likely would get cut to save money but from a football perspective that Felton was clearly the better player. Russ/Whaley were trying to save money and hoped it wouldn't cost em, they better hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fundamentally they thought he could do more than Felton. Not necessarilly block better.... but run it some and catch it some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty quick cut then Felton returns = $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 then why not stick with him a bit? Pretty quick cut then Felton returns = $$ Because Rex overruled Roman at that stage? Give he dumped the OC days later it is certainly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
