KingBoots8 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Micah, for everything, thank you. You were one of the first pieces we got that truly changed the team and the culture around here. One of my all time favorites to ever play the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s players like this that really deserve it that never get to taste it That’s what stung in the 90’s too, man. I still have visions of when we win one, all the guys will be there celebrating (Jim, Thurman, Bruce, Andre, even Marv)… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hyde has been one of my favorite players since he's gotten here. Plus, he made perhaps my all-time favorite interception! All the best to you and the family, Micah! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Great player, I thought he was the guy who started the turn around, great soldier, seems like a great human, I wish nothing but the best for him and his family!

Scott7975 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Next year is going to suck. I will never forget this safety duo. Best in the business. Two of my favorite players. It's not going to be the same without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I think Poyer could probably play another year. Hyde seems to be saying goodbye...and probably plans to hang it up. They are both 100% class acts. Secondary will be strange without them. Perhaps Hyde will get into coaching?? Time will tell.

oldmanfan Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Mad love for Micah and family. If this is the end for him, he was a warrior and a great Bill. When you have a wife, little kids, and risk of spinal damage it’s a non brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hyde is the man. And if he is indeed done playing, forget coaching, he needs to get into broadcasting. Good-looking, super intelligent and well spoken…he’d crush it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetou Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Not For Long League is always difficult. Have to enjoy the elite positional groups while it lasts. I still miss that line with Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, rookie contract Dareus and Jerry Hughes. Going to be really difficult when it's time for Josh to cross the bridge.

Chicken Boo Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Time flies. Buffalo went from having the best safety tandem in the league to the end of the road for possibly both guys. Hyde was a perfect fit for this defense. I wish he and his family well. He'll be missed out there. Edited January 24 by Chicken Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hyde made the most incredible defensive play I have ever seen in a playoff game against the Patriots, when he zoome across the field to intercept a sure TD pass on a wimpy rainbow from Mac Jones. He took the ball almost out of the receiver's hands, preventing a TD, and convincing the Pats on a very cold night that they stood no chance in that game. It wasn't long before every Patriot on the field was looking longingly at the bench, where the heaters and parkas were. The Bills scored TDs on every single possession except a halftime kneeldown, and Hyde's interception early in the game was the dagger. I'm pretty sure that year was the last winning season for Belichick in New England, and that loss, spurred by the Hyde interception, was what tipped them over into irrelevancy. All that and a great person as well. If the Hydes leave Buffalo, we'll wish them well, but we'll really wish they weren't leaving at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein and be on the emergency reserve list his career in Buffalo is done. He has been one of my favorite players; I follow the Packers and I recommended (does not mean much since no one who can make a difference heard) Bills sign him when he was a free agent. Packers' GM Ted Thompson made a mistake and neglected to make Hyde a contract offer and later apologized for not being able to work out a deal.

Doc Brown Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Class act and the heart and sole of the defense over the last seven ears. He deserves Wall of Fame consideration.

GunnerBill Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Good people. Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer both belong on the Wall IMO. I'm not sure if the Bills would ever do this but I'd even support them going up as "Hyde & Poyer". Because the thing with this pair is the partnership was greater than the sum of its parts. 1 hour ago, Doc Brown said: Class act and the heart and sole of the defense over the last seven ears.

They might lower the base salary convert a bit to bonus and spread it over a void year to kick a couple of mill into next year. I think their plan has always been to avoid losing them both at the same time. One more year of JoPo, let him bring a new guy along not only a player but as a leader. Keep an eye on Kamren Curle.

Trogdor Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 13 hours ago, Matt_In_NH said: Can not help but think with his stingers this year after the fusion surgery that it might be time for him. That was a great read and it just sucks they could not be getting ready for Baltimore. This will be the end of the line for some guys who laid it all on the line including Micah. That fusion option has so many long term problems, its why I will never fault anyone pushing for a disk replacement. I've seen people worse off after fusion. Hopefully he has a healthy and pain free retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 One of my favorite Bills FA signing of all time. Knew he was going to shine for the Bills. As you get older, it becomes less about the players, and more about Buffalo. These guys come and go all the time. But Hyde was one of my favorite Bills ever. Always did the right thing, was there for good and bad times. but his injuries are scary and he’s slowing down. I will never fault someone for getting paid but I think it’s time for him to retire and move on to the next phase of his life. He will be great in whatever he chooses to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Great player, person and Bill. He also came up with the two plays I will never forget: the end zone pick against the Patriots in the playoffs and the amazing mid-air spin and catch, then run back for a TD against a Miami onside kick. What a great run for both Poyer and Hyde. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
