shrader Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Signing Wood is a PR move? Yeesh. If that's someone's idea of a PR move, they need to be terminated themselves. Are a lot of Bills fans approaching their 70th birthday? When my aunt turned 70, I bought her one of those Wood name/number t-shirts as a joke. That's a huge PR boost he can bring to the table. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other players were offensive lineman Karim Barton, defensive end Jake Metz, running back Cedric O’Neal, cornerback Jumal Rolle and return man Rashad Ross. https://www.fanragsports.com/news/bills-cut-six-players/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Getting rid of your #1 WR, not signing your #1 CB, getting rid of your new #1 CB. There's a reason Boldin retired out of the blue. He saw the tank coming. And let me be clear, I don't care if they do tank this year. It appears to be a good year to do it and they can really stack up the team for the future. But call it what it is. Boldin retired because of Charlottesville. He said that. Wants to be an activist. Not Bacari!!!! Boooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 So him quitting within days of those events was just a fluke. Lol sure. Like a lot of things in life, there were almost certainly multiple factors. He was most certainly feeling the pull toward post-football activism when he decided to sign up with the Bills. But he probably felt like he still had some football in him, and that he could be a good secondary option to a big threat like Watkins. Then the team traded Watkins. And then Charlottesville happened. His decision to retire followed all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) "So the Bills' grim preseason continues, draining away much of the blind optimism about their chances in the first year under Beane and Sean McDermott. It hasn't been this bad since 2009, when Dick Jauron fired Turk Schonert as offensive coordinator a week before the opener. It's hard to say which is a bigger concern right now -- Taylor's head or Dareus's -- without knowing the severity of Tyrod's injury. A concussion is a troubling thing, especially when it's your starting QB and he's certain to take a lot of punishment when the, uh, real bullets fly. But this is a harsh welcome to the big-boy jobs for Beane and McDermott, who arrived with high hopes but are now confronting the realities of the NFL." Jerry Sullivan, Buffalo News http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/27/bills-dilemma-head-injury-head-case/ I brought up the Dick Jauron and Turk Schonert references already. Not a good look for a new regime when these are the reference points that come to mind for fans and sportswriters covering the team.

I think the point is that being a head coach is a lot harder than being a DC under a defensive head coach with a first overall QB and being a GM is a lot harder than being Gettleman's administrative assistant.

We have our Bruce (Shaq), are making some big trades (a-la Biscuit), and are about to get our douchey QB next year (Rosen) We're on our way to 4 more consecutive SB appearances. Give it time I think the point is that being a head coach is a lot harder than being a DC under a defensive head coach with a first overall QB and being a GM is a lot harder than being Gettleman's administrative assistant. Beane has already been AGM and filled in as Interim GM before. He knows what it's like And pretty soon our defensive coordinator will be a DC under a defensive head coach with a first overall QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am mildly pro-Kane. He brings a lot to like to the table. I also would not mind trading him if we got a nice young defensive prospect. For some reason, it feels like Pegulas might have already told Jbots to trade him. So what I want is not really relevant. I would not mind bringing Kane back for the right price.
