BillsFan4 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Honestly, I'll be kind of happy if he decides not to come here. I never thought he was very good in Carolina. I get that he knows the scheme, but I think that we can find better better safety depth between now and the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrinkinBuddy Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Kind of weird that some fans think a panther is cut and he's a shoe-in to be signed by McD. Seems the presumption is that McD worked with him and must like him. But maybe he worked with him and realized there wasn't any potential there. I trust that if the front office believed he was worth signing they would make it happen. The fact they did not probably indicates he's a JAG.

If they wanted him they would have offered more money and the chance to compete for a starter spot. All we have at safety is a unproven/unknown in Poyer and a guy better suited as a nickel corner.

Jamie Nails Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 So Beane cut him... which interesting. McD did bring him in for a workout though and apparently the Bills did offer. This! We lost out to the Chargers plain and simple. Either they offered more money, opportunity, better living arrangement or he doesn't think McD is the end all be all. He went to a place with 4-5 safeties on the roster vs. 2. To me, money being equal, he spurned is and his former coach and GM. Could frankly be the Beane hire that turned him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I blame Beane! First strike! stay vigilant and be sure to create a spread sheet. Will need links to said data compiled Seems like we already have a well qualified Team in place! To cover these quite nearly abominable, and blatantly abhorrent neglections of duty to The Fan Base here. Asleep at the wheel again! Nice Texas swing for sure Being called out by McDermott noticeably often makes me care more about why his play was so bad and less about how he can take criticism. it was read by me somewhere. McD cursed out the guys who were worth pushing. No, but his name is TRE and we drafted TRE'DAVIOUS. Obviously, this means Beane is GM and we're signing him. No idea how people can't see the reality before them and connect the dots. THE DOTS, people, THE DOTS! DAMN THOSE DOTS> I never even noticed them. ^ Finally, a good and proper use of the emoti McDermott is in charge, the GM is just a Beane counter. Counter, not counter. some would suggest semantics, to my capitalisation of counter. Sir Counter, might be the proper addressing of the recently Knighted . You know what the word is. Byrd is the word. it is and was Birdland Bring Baccari Rambo back! no sh+ at least he smacked some body Kid had 2 picks, 2 sacks, 3 stuffs, and 7 pass breakups this past season. No doubts he wins the #1 FS gig. Makes me think of Da'Norris Searcy. Ok when it comes to pass coverage, just don't let him go 1-on-1 with a WR. Will be a benefit in the run game. Boston has superior athleticism than Searcy, giving him more potential and a higher ceiling. I can understand this analogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just heard Bill Polian interview Tre Boston on Sirius XM. Tre explained why he chose the Chargers. He went back to Carolina after visiting both teams and was trying to decide. He stopped at a gas station he had never been to before. While he's pumping gas, someone pulls up and asks if he could spare 1 or 2 dollars to help with gas. Tre gave him $20. The two talked for a while, the man explained his story, told him what he makes and how he decides what to use for gas and what to spend on food. Tre gave him another $20. The two kept talking and Tre felt the man was put in his life to help him. He was thinking about how to ask the man his opinion ("Buffalo or LA" or "choose city 1 or city 2"). Then, before he asks anything, the man says, "My name is Mike Daniels (I may have remembered the last name wrong, sorry) "but everyone calls me "L.A." Tre immediately started to think this was a sign. Then, he turns around to the gas pumps. The one he was at had one of those credit card leaflet holders and there was a postcard that said "Jesus saves." He checked all the other pumps, this was the only one with a Jesus saves postcard. At this point, he was convinced this was a sign from G-d that he is meant to go to LA. He went home and told his wife and was crying the entire time because he's convinced he was given a sign as to what he must do. Just listening to him, I think he's more of a Buffalo person than an LA person. Very much a family man, that sounds like he'd be happier in the smaller city.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Was I really rambling? I thought I gave the details of the story pretty well. And although I thought it was quite a bizarre story that the guy was making a career decision based on a postcard and the name of a stranger he met at a gas station, I enjoyed listening to it and thinking that if he's good (since frankly I have no idea), that's got to be the worst reason ever for us to miss out on a free agent signing. Bill Polian listened to the entire story (probably more than 5 minutes of Tre telling it), then said something like, "What a great story." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
