I'm honestly a little surprised Kelvin Benjamin didn't join him, as Benjamin pretty clearly doesn't want to be out there.

 

Was notably on the bench during late drives in the game. Team went with Jones and Foster (gross).

I don't know he went in there and got his bell rung for the TD at the end .

 

Also so can we get another receiver now I've heard we has space now.

Like I said and got criticized when he signed, his contract was horrible.

 

I don't know when people will start listening to me, but Beane is HORRIBLE.  Not even sure when this team will recover his mess.

 

 

 

Yes, you're very special.  Go have a cookie.  You've earned it.

And also while I dont agree with what Vontae did and likely will not play another down in the league. I can understand it. Did he try to come back one more year to play on a team that at the time he walked was being outscored 56-6

 

I cant understand it at all..I couldn't care if they were down 200-0...

 

Its not just about him...he has left his teammates in the lurch mid game... 

 

At least wait until the end of the game..

McBeane love them some dead cap money.

 

They claimed they wanted to get rid of "bad contracts," but, as we have seen, they love their own bad contracts . . . and how many guys are they going to over pay (read bad contracts) this coming off season.

 

Ugh.

Again I dont agree with it. I would never do it. But i can still understand it.

Good, see ya turd

Its also another $4 Million dollar cap hit....hamstrings the Bills further.  

 

Never have I seen this.  They should have cut him when he proved he was having difficulty recovering from the injury in training camp, but I bet they kept him to see if he could recover.  This is just a !@#$ing slap in the face.

There's gotta be more to the story. 

 

Right?

 

Yeah a Vet player on a team that at the time was being out scored 75-9. Probably said yeah I aint putting my body through this.

Well, if he's retiring, we ought to thank him because he won't have to be paid (and can the Bills claw back any signing bonus money?).  So I'm expecting a kind of "umm, I didn't really retire" thing tomorrow, as soon as he talks to his agent.

They also showed that he gets injured every single season.  Including this one already.

 

Agreed.

Point was that our defense was very good with gaines in, and not so good without.

Not that he was the "most important piece" but more the fact that our defensive scheme relies on TWO good corners.

Tre is very very good, Davis, unfortunately, is not, and it was a carryover from last year when gaines was out (and replaced by a subpar corner) to this year with davis being a subpar corner.

Was more just pointing out that it's not surprising that the pass D struggles with a subpar corner opposite tre (be it davis, or whomever)

I can understand retiring this coming week, addressing the team, telling them I can't do it anymore.  That I would respect.  I can't understand doing it in-game.

Retiring in camp I can understand.

 

Retiring at halftime of a game?   Maybe you can understand it but sure I don't understand it,  and I don't want to understand it, and I would not want someone like that on my team in any capacity.  So in the long run this is addition by subtraction. 

 

It is not acceptable no matter if we outscored 106-6.

When you look how a majority of NFL players are me first guys. Yes I can understand it. Agree with it is different than understanding where the decision likely comes from.

Boldin had a reason?

 

Did you actually buy his save the world reason?

 

Did you still buy it later in the season when there were rumors he wanted to sign with another team but the Bills would not release him?

Did not say I bought the reason.  I said he had on and he did not quit in the game.   huge difference. 

 

I don't care about the rumors either.

There's also the parallel weirdness of McD calling plays starting 2nd half. Could be related somehow.

 

Frazier's defense isn't exotic and doesn't allow for much aggression.

 

When I heard of the move by McDermott, I simply thought he was trying to place his stamp on the defense and get the guys playing up to his standards.
