It was a pretty big helmet to helmet hit.

You watched the guy play for how many years? He’s not a dirty player. 3 years ago he’s there to break up the pass, last year he was late.

I’m in the minority I guess, but I’m a fan of Bills players while they’re playing for the Bills. Once they wear another uniform they’re dead to me, my allegiance is to the logo, not the names.

 

 I don’t go out of my way to dislike former players, but I don’t go out of my way to defend them either. 
 

 They were a cog in the machine, replaced by hopefully an upgraded cog.

Have you not been paying attention to the way White has been discussed on this board?

The way he acted headhunting our players like that? NO WAY... respect is EARNED and he lost a lot of respect going out of his way to try and hurt Bills players.

Headhunting our players?

 

He had one bad hit on Coleman that a fraction sooner or a fraction later is totally legal. Poyer always does the shoulder to sternum hits on deep balls, and after watching him play for nearly 8 season's I don't think he's now magically a dirty player.

 

Just a guy who mistimed a hit because he's lost a few steps. 
 

Pass on Poyer in 2025 because he's washed, but let him retire a Bill next summer then add him, Hyde, and Kyle to the wall. 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Does he want to do what Hyde did last season?

 

That would be the only way I'd be interested in signing him

It was a high hit to the helmet, was always going to be dirty.

Agreed, but I don't think Hyde or Poyer are good enough to be on the wall.

[LittleSammy]

Bring Poyer in on a no-guarantee vet minimum deal and see what he has left. Let BB/McD decide if what he has is better than what we have. The NFL is a brutal business and we are close to the prize to bring him back just for sentimental reasons.

I don't think he was headhunting. He was just trying to make plays but he is too slow to do it anymore.

 

I think some people forget this is still football and you still try and make plays and hits...and sometimes people get hurt.  But that doesn't mean it was cheap or intentional either.

Reminds me of the Cole Beasley hate.   Meanwhile the guy played on a broken leg for the team.

Jordan is dead to me but I’d welcome any former bill back (except Von) 

 

is he a free agent? 

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

He's pretty much where Thurman, Bruce and Andre were.  The Bills were done with them and they went elsewhere.  Thurman especially went to Miami just to try to stick it to the Bills.  Yet all 3 are rightfully still held in the highest regard as Bills legends.  

Was Poyer at their level when he was here?  No.  But he did the same thing they did and shouldn't be hated for it.

He sealed his fate with the cheap shot on Keon Coleman. Let alone doing it as a Dolphin.

 

I do appreciate him letting Cook blow by him on his way to a long TD run.

I get the sentiment but Taylor Rapp has taken out more Bills with friendly fire than Poyer has as an enemy. 
 

I’m inclined to cut him some slack personally.

and this shouldn’t be held against him either, but his wife is an azz****

[DCofNC]

He was great while he was here, but the last year wasn’t and he was outright washed for Miami.  Sorry, but no dice on a come back

The cheap shot on Coleman is the reason the Bills won that game in regulation.

And again, that hit helped the Bills win.

Without that hit, does Tyler Bass nail a 61 yarder and go on to connect on 91% of his following kicks?

watching a man grovel like this....

His wife seems like a very smart independent woman and I respect her very much. Especially her a$$

It was still a helmet to helmet hit even if it wasn't intentional.  He went high and didn't look like he was going after the ball.

Coleman is 5-6 inches taller than him so Poyer has to jump up to hit Coleman in the helmet.
