Stephon Gilmore seems to think covering new Bills WR Stefon Diggs will be 'light work'

Really? It was like the most important play of the last decade when it happened

I know I saw the play in real time but don't remember it. Time is a blur at this point, lost plenty brain cells since that play.

Once NE becomes irrelevant, we'll see how many gift calls Gilmore gets down the road.

His first 6 games were bad he struggled to pick up the scheme. By the end of his first year then he was playing at an all pro level and has been ever since.

I got flamed here for the same. It is ironic that Bills fans on this message board spend most of their time over valuing and overrating our players. And yet when we did truly have a stud they hated on him because he didn't smile when he got drafted. 

 

Tre is the rare example of a player who is both genuinely a stud and liked by fans.

I’m amazed that the Bills haven’t won 25 straight Super Bowls.  Every player on other teams sucks.  Even their all pros and guys with rings.  Gilmore sucks.  Sammy Watkins sucks.  Dak Prescott sucks.  Hell, I just learned yesterday that Mahomes isn’t a top 10 QB...

HA! Soft players get rings all the time. As others have pointed out, both were soft during their time here. These guys succeeding elsewhere doesn’t change that.

I think more highly of Watkins than most here, but I’ll agree that it’s arguable. His postseason performances the last couple of years have played a big role in shaping my opinion.

Lighten up, McBride. We’re just having a little fun with an ex-Bill now playing with our most hated rival. Smoke SMOKED him on that play -as happens to every CB occasionally.

Personally I'd have said Aaron Donald but because he had won it the previous year and his production dipped from off the charts incredible to just elite I think the felt compelled to go elsewhere (though it ignores his production was still UP on 2017 when he won his first DPOTY award). 

 

If you were going to discount Donald though? Then yea, I thought Gilmore was the best defensive player in the league. He was a huge part of the reason the Patriots defense was so good.

 95% of the stank left and now the Bills have made postseason 2-3 years without them.  Once the last stank on this team leaves, we will be in the SB.  Yes I'm talking about JH55.

Gilmore is going with his standard line: “That was somebody else’s guy. I’m not pointing fingers, I’m just going to stare at somebody.”

 

 

I’m not buying it. 

Or, The ‘Gilmore Glance’, turn around after getting burned and look at the Jumbotron to make it appear it was someone’s else’s fault.

 

He is a good player but he is not someone I miss For one minute. If things go as expected and NE is a dumpster fire next year, Gilmores personality will show more.

Umm, the story isn't "manufactured" at all...it happened.  Have you been on Twitter?  Nobody forces you to click "like" on a tweet -- it's a conscious decision.  Gilmore should know better.

 

Now, in the big scheme of things I don't know if this motivates a guy like Diggs or not -- but it was a slight, no matter how you look at it.

Glimore played plenty well here. The hate he got because he didn't smile more was pathetic and petty at the time and even more so now. 

The hate had more to do with him dodging tackles near the end of his time here.

I do. He tailed off in the last 2-3 games back to normal, but in the first 13, he was as lockdown as lockdown can get.

I'm good, but, there's a difference between being upset and thinking it's stupid for people to claim he's soft, can't cover, it was the system, etc. Seems like some here are mad that he is a Superbowl Champ, Defensive player of the year and a Patriot. It's ok to admit we let a good one go. He's gone, put the pitchforks away. Save them for Ford, Star, Murphy, etc.

When the season consists of 16 games, tailing off for 2-3 games is a pretty big deal (one of which cost the Pats a bye).  That's like saying that Mike Trout was the best player in MLB, save 30 or so games.

Mike Trout had more than 30 statistically terrible games in each of the last five seasons. No player is perfect every game.

Not sure why you're arguing this point. All good baseball players have tons of bad games. For even the best class of hitters, it's a sport pretty much defined by probable failure.

They definately were in Buffalo. Gilmore only cared about himself and wanted to stay healthy to get a big contract away from Buffalo, so he never wanted to get his hands dirty. Watkins is more soft in the mind. He has the physical tools but lacks the mental toughness.

You wrote in a post to me about folks having fun here. I'm having as much fun as anyone here. You also mentioned in a post how no one is bringing up his 1st year in NE. Here's why, it's like showing ONE clip of Brown beating him and saying he sucks. You're bringing up 1 season out of his career, a season where NE went 13-3 and went to the Super Bowl.

Actually, this weed is pretty good. Never cared for opiates, down the toilet they went.

Gilmore and Watkins were definitely holding this team back just like they are going to hold the Pats and Chiefs back from ever winning a SB..

 

And totally, the difference between this team being a one and done WC team and playing in the SB is Jerry Hughes. Dumping him would certainly make all the difference

No one said he isn't a good CB.  But the Bills were right to let him walk and they replaced him with White.

Tre is awesome.  But how can you say they were right?  One, they could have kept Gilmore and drafted White. Lockdown central.  They could have kept Gilmore and drafted Mahomes or Watson.

 

again, Tre is one of the best in the game.  But he’s still a cb.  You aren’t “right” if you let a DPOY walk for nothing and pass up 2 top 5 caliber qbs, one who has the chance to be one of best ever.  It’s worked out ok for us so far, but we were hardly “right.”

How can I say they were right?  Well for starters, the Bills made the playoffs the year after Gilmore left.  Second of all, Tre could have won DPOTY just as easily, and probably would have if he dressed for the Jets season-ender.  And the Bills have shown that they have no trouble identifying CBs.

The only data I can find is from the 2016 and 2017 season. I'm Gilmores last season here he had 54 penalty yards compared to 83 in NE

 

But he was only flagged once for defensive holding. He was flagged 5 times with the Bills prior

 

Where alot of his yards were racked up looks like 2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties

Wow.  You’re working hard on this one.  
 

If the Bills have Mahomes and Gilmore, maybe they win the SB last year.  
 

also since the Bills are good at identifying cbs (which I agree with), maybe draft Mahomes/ Watson in the first and draft a cb later.
