26CornerBlitz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 The first half of your sentiment, I can say I felt the same way. Which a part of me is pleased with the White selection because the kid was grinning ear to ear and genuinely seemed appreciative of the Bills selecting him. The other half was annoyed since we had to draft another first round CB. Two guys (Gilmore & White) with different demeanors and personalities reacting differently. Nothing more than that.

BringBackOrton Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) He's missed 11 games during the middle 3 years of his 5-year career. And that mostly while avoiding contact whenever possible. With the Cheaters, they "expect more"...like tackling. Compared to the average NFLer, he's not a health risk. Your cherry picked "middle year" stat notwithstanding.

LABILLBACKER Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Not a particularly smart tweet I guess but not that insulting. I'd bet a lot of his friends and family rarely saw him and will see him a lot more now. What are you talking about? We got to see him get burned and look back all the time.

ko12010 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 His people don't have internet access? Not that hard to see any team play if you care to seek it out. Haha exactly. I've found a way to watch every Bills game for almost twenty years now without living in Buffalo. So...I guess your peeps don't care that much Stephon. Can't wait till Andre Holmes toasts him. I'm pumped to see Holmes in action. Sammy, Zay, Holmes, Clay, and more passes to Shady should be awesome. A very nice core to build on in the coming years.

White Linen Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The insecure mindset that is Buffalo. That's why. This is what small minded people think that can't take a joke.

purple haze Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He didn't take a shot at Buffalo. He simply stated a truism: he will be on national television a lot more.

section122 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Gilmore will be an all pro this year. Absolutely. My one gripe with Gilmore is a grabber and it won't get called in New England. I expect him to live up to every bit of that contract and "all of a sudden" become a star in the league. He will get the Patriot bump that Hogan got last year. Everyone needs to prepare for the "I'm sorry but I miss Gilmore" thread that is coming. Unless of course he gets injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grb Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 From the linked article : "New England is scheduled to play in five nationally televised games this season as well as take on the Oakland Raiders as part of the NFL's International Series. Whereas the Patriots will play often in front of a national audience, the Bills are only scheduled to have one primetime game when they take on the New York Jets on NFL Network's Thursday Night Football. Buffalo's lack of national visibility comes down to their 17-year playoff drought, the longest in all professional sports". Don't really see why people are looking so hard for an insult.....

eball Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It was just a dumb tweet from Gilmore because it didn't need to be said. Anyone can watch any game they want to -- Sunday Ticket, sports bars...implying that "your people" can only see you play when you're in primetime is an idiotic statement. I'm not annoyed because I think it was a dis at the Bills, I'm annoyed because Gilmore is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can just as easily be 7-9 without him as we were with him. Exactly how many game changing plays did this clown have while here? Zero? One ? Two at most? Hes been so irrelevant as a Bill I cant recall a single game changing play he made while here! Bradys all ready won five trophies w/o you Steph. Youll be as meaningless there as your where here.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The team sucks/has sucked that didn't form or change my opinion about Gilmore. If he struggles in NE the Boston media will turn him into the next Pablo Sandoval. That would make me happier than anything outside of the Bills actually winning games this season. His attitude sucks, I don't think you win with guys like him. Sure he can win on the 17' Pats. They could line Justin Rogers up opposite of Butler and still go 14-2. No, absolutely not! Justin Rogers was the worst thing I've ever seen present on a football field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 ? What joke did I miss? There's two fringes. The ones that actually take his comment overly serious and those that think everyone is taking it overly serious. In between is the majority that think it's just funny when an athlete posts something stupid and then when fans give him some jazz back. You hate everything Buffalo so you'll never get that and you will never see you're the fringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) If he couldn't foresee the context it would be taken in, then he's pretty simple. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was a subtle dig.At who? The coaches that aren't here? The front office that's gone? Is he upset at the fans? I guess some. I think it was a tweet he didn't give much thought too, and I think that some here are subconsciously doubly insulted by the fact that he might have flat not cared enough to think about the buffalo inferiority complex before sending it Edited July 18, 2017 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a fuzzy line between injury-prone and normal when it comes to contracts. We always know our own guys injuries better than the guy we only see on espn highlights is a big part. Joe bills fan knows every bad or missed Gilmore snap... and knows only Shermans highlights. Not a knock on our fan base specifically but a global thing especially with corners.

White Linen Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Lol. Yea I don't get it. People aren't taking this personal. Seems like the majority of people on this board are butt hurt, hence the reason they feel the need to insult Gilmore over a pretty harmless comment. The majority of the people on this board haven't even commented in this thread - let alone are "butt hurt". You're not even close on yet another assumption. That's where you, the other fringe, comes in (see where you are now?) You broad stroke every fan into your little hate painting. There's an equal amount shaking their head not commenting to you. You're an angry troll spitting BS towards the people you think are "butt hurt". You think you're the smart one having a one up on them but the majority is laughing at you in the same vein.

Agreed on both accounts I don't know about being at Sherman's level, I still think he will have issues tackling. But if anyone can correct his tackling issues, it's Belichek. Unfortunately, good CB's are hard to retain after their rookie deals as their second contract are usually astronomical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He's butt sore Bills didn't make him a big offer. His little ego was hurt. Get over it man, like honestly. You got ur big fat contract, in a big city, with a team that's got a QB. things are good for you. stop gloating. no class. He left a team with a 17-year playoff drought to go play for a perennial contender and he got paid a boatload more to do it. Tell me again: Who is butt hurt about it?
