The_Dude Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This is why we suck. We trade a 3rd for KB and let a quality pass catcher like O’Leary go. And for as slow as he was — dude got separation on game day. Bad move to let him go. 13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never be a starting TE in this league. He's alright as a backup, but are we supposed to pout about every backup caliber player we let go? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Good for him. I like the kid. He doesn't do anything outstanding but he does hustle (looking at you KB). 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin, dude had a knack for getting open and making plays. I’d have cut a few players before a guy who has been productive is all I’m sayin. Im not sayin the dude was a star. 3 minutes ago, Starr Almighty said: Just like the Bills to cut the next Tony Gonzalez ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuelTime Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 He had reliable hands. He didn't wear gloves. Also, his grandfather was a professional golfer. It's going to be hard not to root for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Not surprised. Good for O'Leary. No, O'Leary is not Tony Gonzales or Greg Olsen, but he's serviceable and actually catches balls thrown his way. From what I've seen thus far, O'Leary is better than Croom and Lee. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I heard his grandpa is Jack Nicklaus. The same well connected source also told me that Fitz went to Harvard! Some of you might even remember this guy (my source)... he’s the same guy that picked up Siefert at the airport last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Didn’t like when he was cut a few weeks ago, hopefully he doesn’t shred us later this year when we play the Fins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did Nick O'Leary get open a lot but he could have been targeted a lot more too.

Yea, it was cool that he’s related to the famous golfer, but outside of that I think Croom has him beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderweb Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Nick O'Leary was the prototypical lunch pail Buffalo guy. Good hands and knew how to get open. May not have had the wheels one would like, but he played hard and never stopped trying. He deserved a better date with the Bills but ultimately lost out to Croom, Lee, and Thomas who are all physically superior but none have shown his heart or ability to make key plays. I miss him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 O' Leary plays without gloves, Lee plays without a brain and Benjamin plays without a heart. Someone needs to organise these guys a trip to see the great and powerful Oz. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The evidence so far, is that letting O'Leary go, was a mistake, and will likely remain a mistake, until such time as Lee and Thomas learn how to get open, catch and block. Oh, and not get penalized. I get keeping Croom, he's shown something, and has distinct upside, but neither Lee or Thomas has done anything positive of note. They may both be physical specimens, but they aren't displaying football smarts, and O'Leary has football smarts. All of this crap about 'nobody else wanted O'Leary so he must suck' is just that. This is about the Bills, and the Bills could have used him, and tbh, could still use him. Imho, it's a poor decision, and as importantly, poor evaluation, of the type that said Peterman would play okay when things got real. I've seen no evidence at all, that either Lee or Thomas have done anything that could be construed as helping out a rookie QB, be it blocking or receiving, and to the contrary, Lee at least, is giving away dumb penalties. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I guess O'Leary just was not part of the "culture" that McBeane wanted for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 IDK why but he was wide open for at least 3-5 plays per year. That counts for something. Overall, it depends how good he was at blocking, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
