Rigotz Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 http://www.nbcsports.com/boston/new-england-patriots/stephon-gilmore-makes-several-crucial-mistakes-in-new-england-patriots-loss-to-carolina-panthers I rarely ever root against former Bills, but Gilmore was an exception. Always pouting on the field ... always getting national media attention for being "elite" ... never producing. Looks like he's still up to his "elite" ways in Boston as well: FOXBORO -- If Stephon Gilmore was looking for a smooth transition from Buffalo to New England, he’s out of luck. The Patriots' newest and most expensive cornerback has found himself at the center of a maelstrom. Week after week, every time you look up, it’s Gilmore who is either getting beat for a big play, in the general vicinity of a big play, or getting flagged for critical penalties that extend eventual scoring drives.

dollars 2 donuts Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't revel in what is going on with him now. I revel in a team I hate, suffering because everyone thought they were geniuses for signing him for $65 million, and not having it work out.

Jerry Jabber Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 They won the offseason, you know. And they're humble. +1 Right now, everything is on Brady's shoulders to win games. Once Gronk gets injured (as he usually does) as well as others, they will look even more vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't know Stephon Gilmore. I have no reason to wish him ill will, other than the fact that he plays for the Patriots. I've often thought that at some point the moves Belichick makes would catch up with him. I think he believes it is he and he alone responsible for that teams success. I hope they continue to lose. I hope moves like signing Gilmore put them in cap hell. I hope Brady gets sick of losing and retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd1 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) This is NOT going to get better. THIS is who Gilmore has always been. He will now be targeted by opposing teams. HE is the current "CHINK" in the Patriots armor. Belicheat must have been experiencing early onset dementia. Edited October 3, 2017 by cd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Surprised Belichick doesn't just let Gilmore play press man and leave him on an island. That's how he plays best. Trying to get him to mix up coverages and play zone is asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they are going to start losing I would rather keep playing, progressively getting worse and tarnish his image, or go to the Colts and try to revive his career...something tells me that is unlikely.

Forward Progress Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I just watched a replay of the Pats* game last night. Gilmour is still the same Gilmour. Every time there is a tackle to be made in his area and another Patriot nearby as well, he backs off and lets someone else do the dirty work. He likes keep his jersey clean.

But I felt that Gilmore was not held accountable for broken coverage, poor tackling, and penalties in Buffalo. That's a-gonna change in Foxboro. Do Your Job.

Heavy Kevi Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't particularly dislike him, but want him to fail simply because he is on the Pats. He's set for life with that contract, so he can ride off into the sunset. Not upset we lost him though. He is almost always in the perfect position, but can't/won't play the ball and is downright afraid to tackle. His dispassionate attitude doesn't exactly endear him to the fanbase. either.

VaMilBill Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Funny how Gilmore was always a great corner until he had the untimely penalty or gave up a crucial 3rd down conversion.

SaviorPeterman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Unless the Pats defense turns things around, the Gilmore deal will certainly be looked at as one of Belichik's major miscalculation and mistakes during his long tenure with the Pats. But this shouldn't be a surprise for most Bills fans that knew this guy was overrated and nowhere close to an elite player during his time with the Bills and give credit to Whaley/McD or whoever was smart enough to not even consider paying him big money to stay here.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't revel in what is going on with him now. I revel in a team I hate, suffering because everyone thought they were geniuses for signing him for $65 million, and not having it work out. Couldn't happen to a nicer front office. Gilmore is a good player. He's not cutout for fancy defenses. He's a solid press man to man physical corner- great athlete with marginal hands. As soon as you use him differently you're asking for disappointment. For the patsies it's an expensive disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 "It's mean to root against him," someone will say. Reply: (1) he badmouthed Buffalo on the way out. I will root against anyone who does that until they apologize (2) Okay, I won't "root" against him, I will cheer for whomever he is covering and hope that person has a career day!

Agreed, but the annoying thing IS, Over 29, when he puts two good games together back to back everyone in the media is going to be all, "BELICHEK FIXED HIM! LOOK HOW HE'S BEEN ABLE TO TURN AROUND THIS CB (for 13 million dollars per) INTO A PRO BOWLER!!!! ...please note, if it isn't clear: I hate the Patriots. Typical Random Point Person: "Oh, you!

NewEra Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I was a huge Gilmore fan up until last year. I didn't like his body language. I didn't see any the effort I was looking for, especially for a player in a contract year. Seemed like he was going through the motions and gave up on the team. Conjecture on my part but my opinion. I actively root against him now. So happy to see this happening in New England, but also fully expect them to figure this out. I bet they'll be able to trade Gilmore for a 2nd rd pick this offseason and rid themselves of his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Seems he struggles in more exotic schemes. Same thing happened here. Ive never like guys who have players run through their zones unnoticed and when the ball is thrown looks back inside at the saftey. He did that 5 times last year. Now he is doing that in NE.
