He really isn’t contributing and is a liability on the field. At this point in the season I don’t see him helping us at all. Might as well get someone out there who can help us If you make something up the player can file a grievance. Just cause you don’t like a guy doesn’t mean you can IR him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm really curious how this is going to play out going forward. Be interesting to see if he plays next week. Benching a first ballot hall of famer doesn't happen very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Von will ever be Von again, but you have to look at how he is doing game to game and it just is not there. OK but….arguably, Miller has been taking snaps from Epenesa etc who was arguably playing better than he all along since Week 5 I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer here, but it’s not uncommon for a player who has some trouble looming to be inactive one week and then show up on the Exempt list or a suspension. It could be a message “show up, or sit out”. Or it could be a sign of something coming down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It’s amazing how much better the defense performs with 11 players instead of 10. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Gotta think Von should be inactive this week as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm surprised that Von's being a healthy scratch didn't make the headlines. I mean, Diggs sneezes and it's national news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like everyone has suspected that he's not fully recovered and the Bills finally realized he wasn't going to play himself back into shape so it's not a huge surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Smith was a sack machine. He ain't playing on Sunday either. 5 minutes ago, Malazan said: I feel like everyone has suspected that he's not fully recovered and the Bills finally realized he wasn't going to play himself back into shape so it's not a huge surprise. Or they realize he's finished and there is no reason to hog up a roster spot with a guy who can't play anymore. Or at least at the moment.

DapperCam Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 16 hours ago, Ryan Simpsons said: this is absolute bull. there is more to the story, listen to his interview - yes they don't want him to get hurt but this crap with him doesn't fully make sense. What is bull? He’s been the worst DE in the entire league since he returned. This move didn’t happen sooner because he’s a respected vet and team captain, and they were hoping he would return to form. He hasn’t returned to form and it’s pretty obvious it isn’t going to happen this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I don't see the Bills doing anything with his contract until after next season regardless.

He made the news again this week for non football stuff. That should be enough to completely shut him down. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
