Unfortunately, he will be gone. Economics will dictate that as cap availability will be a problem. He will get twice what the Bills can pay. Its a pleasure to see him for one season through. He has good attitude, and likes the organization. He is not going to pass on an extra 10-15 million to enjoy the Bills culture. His brother and he have been driven by their father to maximize their pro income. Nick even sat out the back end of his last college season OSU so he didn't risk injury. Folks from that culture will be dollar driven. I am not complaining, it is their right to optimize in their favor, just observing what seems to be going on. So, JB, give all you have this year. You are likely one and done here ala Terrill Owens a generation ago.

I suspect Poyer is coaching on the field to help the newbies do right. That is OK, in fact, inspired thinking. Poyer is physically less than he was, but, he knows the back end of McD's defense and I understand why he is here now. I guess Hyde could have done this last year, but his physical problems were more serious I think.

Absolutely. Old pros teaching young pros on the field of play! In the field I worked in, we always paired an experienced guy the a newby to help them to learn to perform.

Yes, a change of trainers is appropriate in my view.

If Milano and Bernard can play, it will make a big difference.

He had a two year contract. He may just be gone.

Yeh, coming back to the ball is both football and basketball sound. since Coleman has background in bb too, it is surprising he is not coached up this point. Your comment to dead on.

Daboll?

It was reported when he signed that his knee was still not right from the prior year injury. I cannot quote source at this point as I have forgotten. I am not writing a paper here and keeping references!

His knee is still bad. courtesy signing to Practice squad I think. Maybe done this year....maybe available end of season.

A few decades back the Bills were just like the Browns are today. (Hank Bullough era) In those days, the Lions were the only team as bad as the Bills I think. Times change it appears.

Oh yeh. I also noted in the game that a lot of Bills lost their footing during play. Its like they don't practice on their home field. Oh, wait, they don't! the bulk of work is in the dome where the turf may not be like the weathered/weather modified surface that games are played on.

The D is the problem these days, despite holding NE to 23 points. And, how do you loose so many folks to injury in practice? Something wrong there.

Yes, some of the worst officiating I have seen in many years. (a Bills fan since the 60's btw) Hasn't been that bad since the 80's imho. I gave up the NFL for a few years because the officiating was so bad back then.

Gilmore was avoiding contact when w the Bills his last year. He was a major liability against the run. Playing to get to free agency healthy. He played hard for the Pats and performed. I was glad to see his bad attitude go. The NY press needs its anointed stars. His contract was about selling tickets in NJ. He is ok, but not $30mil/season ok.
