Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Many on this team should retire, including the head coach and his fuzzy bro. If the latter two don't do so, Pegs should help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016  What are you laughing at? TT feels phantom pressure all the time. The tackles push the rush wide and instead of simply stepping up into the pocket the OL has created TT breaks the pocket and starts running towards the sideline. He does this consistently. He also gets away from pressure that is there  I mean...the warts are there and everyone is seeing them.......he wont throw into tight windows which better change quick.....but he is in fact running way from real pressure a lot of the time.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well lets be fair here for a moment BEFORE people pile on the FO for giving him a shot. Â 1. He was ONLY brought in because we had so many injuries at WR and had to find help somewhere. 2. There were not better options on the FA market at the time, and at least he knew the system. Â Â People tend forget the circumstances around the signing. I can't fault the FO for signing him, it was worth a shot for a temp solution when we had little other options.

Yeah, it's just another chance to pile on. Everybody is looking for an angle to pile on. I said earlier he wouldn't finish the season but would find a way to get paid. Having said that, I think it was a rather clever signing. We were snake bitten at the position and desperately needed help. Terry can afford it. People like to act like it came out of their pocket. Pegs is paying the Bill's bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 You front office apologists are hysterical. It's not even so much about the money, it's more about the FO repeatedly getting duped like some rube at a carnival. Â You want to know a better option? Find the list of currently available WR's. Now circle every name on that list. Yes, every player on that list could have posted 2 rec 6 yds before going on IR. We could have put a helmet on Sanjay Lal aand achieved that production.

mikemac2001 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 it's honestly hilarious. Especially for those of us who are not vested in to Bills fandom.  The migraines came back suddenly? Oh did they now? Bills had twenny nine unanswered points in just over a quarter. They are not nearly that bad honestly. no one actually is. The league has great parity.  The charade is such great humor. Bills will not be allowed to win anything . possibly ever. Ralph would not kiss the rings that run the NFL. ( good on him ! ) but we will never win. Thats why the players quit. They figure it out. now, i need a good cry  yes there were lotsa people available. they could brought up Dez at that point. another TE perhaps. Do you know what you are defending here ? That one quote makes sense  Ralph wouldn't bow and I believe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Â Â What system did he know? He played in 4 games a year ago under a different OC. And to everyone who says "what was there to lose; it's Pegula's money, not mine" - it's the opportunity cost of not bringing someone else in to see if he could actually provide some production. So now here come all the snarky "oh I guess there's some pro bowlers out there sitting at home waiting for the Bills to call" replies. To which the answer is: 1. No, there aren't. 2. Not my job to find talent; that's Whaley's job. Look, WR has been a glaring depth problem obvious to everyone ever since Sammy went on the IR. If when faced with that problem your answer is, "hey, do we still have the phone number of that guy who "retired" on us last year," my assumption is that your plan is really the total absence of a plan. It was a joke from the start, and it ended just as our OP expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 He just came back to get another check for playing a series or two. Might have come out better bringing T.O. out of retirement.

hondo in seattle Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Â Pretty much. Â @BuffRumblings Apparently, #Bills fans think anyone who gets hurt or deals with an illness is "robbing" the organization. Â Â The legitimacy of the illness is immaterial. Percy may indeed have debilitating migraines. Â But there's seemingly always something going on with Percy. So his missing games with some kind of problem was predictable. Â And in the end he'll get paid something like $400,000 per reception. That's fairly described as 'robbery.' Â I say this even though I don't blame DW for giving Percy a shot - given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â NO GM in the league gets them all right.....its a mixed bag for every one of them. Â The bills have had a string of pass catcher injuries and got desparate when Woods started getting hurt. I dont blame Whaley for the Percy signing at all because the cupboard was bare. It didnt work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
