thebandit27 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Correct re Milano. How nice would it be to see the tables turn on NE? Where they sign someone else's player, only to see him poop the bed and then return to his former team and be productive? Doubt it happens, but that would be sweet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A taste of their own medicine Ah...I think you kind of got it mixed here. You "win something" over someone if you get something they want. If they cut him, they don't want him, hence bringing him back would not "win" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he jumped the gun. He had a great role here behind Shady and if he stayed I think he would have had another great statistical season and a solid payday in front of him. He is not going to get paid anymore after being cut by the Pats. I would take him back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Gilly and Ivory spelling Shady would take some of the load off his shoulders to carry the O, especially since it's going to take some time to get the passing game up to speed with the new QB's, OL and WR. He'd be fighting for the last spot with Cadet, who looked pretty solid at times. I think he's an upgrade over Murphy, Jones and Green. The one negative is Gilly doesn't have a lot of special teams value, which seems to be valuable with this staff. They like the utility guys who can do more than one thing, if they are not starting.

stuvian Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 if we have outsmarted BB on this we should immortalize the day of Gillislee's cut as the dawn of a new era. So was it Beane or Whaley who should get the credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I too remember his interview when he showered the Pats with praise over how they conduct their organization and how everyone buys in without question. Do you question it now Mike?

It's debatable whether they Bills dropped the ball not tendering him higher or matching the deal at the time. But if they can get him back for less than his tender, it worked out great for them.

US Egg Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 He's one of the many dime a dozen backup RB's that occasionally cash in around the league every year. He'll get picked up quickly if cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I think it was a case of one fumble too many at the wrong time and in the wrong game. BB has a long memory when it comes to TOs. If you can't hold onto the ball you sit and watch those who can. Not a bad philosophy if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Gillislee and McCoy made up the best running back duo I've actually seen and can recall in Buffalo. Would not be against having Mike back at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Bellichik is the ultimate AFC East troll. I think he pays guys in the division more than theyre worth just so he doesn’t have to play them twice a year. If it works out in New England, that’s a bonus.

What a drop off I never thought he was great by any means but I always thought he was a solid backup I don't necessarily trust Belicheck in personnel evaluations. Particularly at RB where he seems more than willing to go by committee and randomly plays guys here or there. Then throw in the Butler benching and I question him even more. Maybe he was hoping Gillislee would be a primary ball carrier for them. And when they realized he wouldn't be that they preferred other options as their secondary backs? I would be willing to take a chance on him backing up McCoy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I found his decision odd. Had money in New England but better career prospects here considering he was in the free agent wilderness before the Bills signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) I love me some Mikey G...but he was a very poor fit for what they did in New England, and I assume that Daboll will bring those concepts over. He is also pretty useless on special teams (especially KOR) and I think your third back needs to be able to help there. He should go to LA and be Melvin Gordon's backup and reunite with Anthony Lynn.

TigerJ Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Gillislee is an effective backup running back, but does not contribute on special teams. The lack of a special teams contribution may have contributed to the failure of the Bills to match NE's offer, and to the possibility of his release by the Patriots, that and the fact that NE is up to their eyeballs in running backs. It may still be a hindrance to Buffalo resigning him now. Edited May 6, 2018 by TigerJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
