Billsguy Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Thigpen will be auditioning for the rest of the league. If he plays well then it may land him another job after he is cut in Buffalo. This is correct. The Tyler Thigpen era in Buffalo is over. It doesn't matter how well he plays in the last fake game.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 It's safe to close this thread.
DPR4444 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 it appears there was nothing to worry about after all.....
Santana Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah...soo umm.....I was thinking maybe, just mayyybe this topic should be officially closed. Thanks for the laugh though haha
VanCity Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Well, don't have to worry about that anymore.....
PromoTheRobot Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Well, don't have to worry about that anymore.....
West End Stench Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Mark my words. Tavaris Jackson will be starting by week 6. Hopefully by then we'll be able to spell his name correctly. I'm not getting my hopes up. Another update: Thigpen looking solid in the 2nd half.
truth on hold Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 You guys laugh but after the early pick 6 he's gotten better and better as the game goes on. I'm. impressed how hes bounced back. He can make a greater variety of throws than Fitz.
halftime hero Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Thigpen is producing a solid audition for some other desparate team. The only way he stays is if Brad Smith can't go in the opener.
You herd it hear last Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I officially give you permission... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLJQXiIlj8w To call him Pigpen... Update: thigpen looks craptastic Is that better than fan-hitty?
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 wouldnt suprise me if smith moves to wr and tavaris is inactive for a few weeks... might keep thigpen
WhickedWilliams Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 a legit starter... fitz is the best qb this team has had since flutie.... if you are waiting for dan marino, it aint happining... we improved greatly in surrounding talent and will win... Def. can win with a guy like Fitz. Not sure why others can't see this, yeah I mean without blinders. u guys are so cynical... ugh you can win a superbowl with a guy like fitz.
Meathead Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 i thought thigpen looked quite good, at least for him neither pick was his fault, both were after getting his hand hit, which considering how rare that is its really just bad luck otherwise he had a nice compl%, kept a bunch of drives going, made nice progressions to non-primary receivers i still want him cut but if he had played like that the whole preseason they wouldnt have bothered to get jackson
FreakPop Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Thigpen is producing a solid audition for some other desparate team. The only way he stays is if Brad Smith can't go in the opener. I don't think Brad Smith is going to make the team.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Thigpen will be auditioning for the rest of the league. If he plays well then it may land him another job after he is cut in Buffalo. This. We all need to keep in mind the 'guys on the bubble' who may have been behind other backups for playing time, are going to be going against other 'guys on the bubble'. So looking great in the last preseason game will influence, but not replace, evaluations formed all TC and PS
Captain Caveman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 IMO, Chan's interview makes it sound like he's trying to justify keeping Thigpen. Or just trying to be nice to a guy on death row? “Tyler had his hand hit twice for interceptions,” coach Chan Gailey said. “We can’t have that kind of penetration in there on those situations.” “Tyler played good,” Gailey said. “He made it tough. And it was all on the line. He did a good job. There’s some receivers that played well, and they are going to make it a really tough decision as well.” From today's Buffalo News. http://www.buffalonews.com/incoming/article1031716.ece
truth on hold Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 If they could rewind the tape I bet theyd undo the Jackson trade and just keep thiggie. One career backup for another. What a waste of money and a pick
