Real McClappy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Really sucks seeing this guy start the last 2 games having success supporting the Pats. Kudos to the undrafted rookie with 2.5 sacks and a INT over his first 2 games with them though. Always like the underdog stories. Wish we could have kept him.

SaviorPeterman Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Not keeping this guy raises serious red flags in terms of McD/Beane's ability to evaluate players. Because no way we couldn't find room for this guy on the 53 man roster considering how bad the defense has been of late. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prob be ok with him going anywhere but there and having success. Was free game though for all. I'm a little bitter though with the amount of support we need at LB and on the D-line.

Samwell Tarly Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I don't know if he just wasn't a good fit in Buffalo, but right now it just looks like Patriots know what they're doing and Buffalo doesn't. BB and Brady are playing chess and the Bills are playing Candyland, lost in the Gumdrop mountains and just lost a turn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 They know exactly who to pick up to plug into their system and it rolls on. Look at Lewis- practice squad player with the Browns and cut by Browns - then All Star with Pats. We have no chance until Brady is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPJax Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Made a nice goal line stop that I saw. He is looking at least as good as Preston Brown. I saw at least three runs where Brown was just driven out of his gap resulting i big runs. Check around the league. Quite a few ex bills doing well with other teams.

And ironically the only guy he may have whiffed on that he took from us is Gillesslie who we certainly needed over the likes of Tolbert this year. But honestly I think it's simply a case of MG not being better than Burkheart and Lewis. Just sick and tired of the bills being a farm league for the Pats and the rest of the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills365 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Yea it really makes you wonder. As productive he has been with a top team how he couldnt even make it onto our roster who is weak at linebacker!!

The Frankish Reich Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This is one of the annoying things about not accepting where you are as a team and rebuilding (call it tanking if you'd like). It means you're 5-5 and still harboring playoff dreams, so instead of starting to move new talent off the practice squad and give guys an extended look, you let other teams raid your practice squad. Likewise, you don't take the opportunity to raid someone else's practice squad to potentially upgrade at a position. And then you go 7-9 and miss out on the top 3 or 4 QBs in the (latest version of) The Year of the QB. Wash, rinse, repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Seeing Eric Lee start for the AFCs best team hurts worse than losing the game. They find a diamond in the rough, and they let him go. They hired the personnel guy from Houston (can't remember his name) for a reason, and I would think he wanted Lee (Houston drafted him right?).
