\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I'm just thinking out loud about this. Eagles sign P McBriar, waive Henry Today, the Eagles waived their punter, and signed retread Matt McBriar. IMHO, the Eagles wanted to sign Powell from the Bills practice squad and, in order to keep him, the Bills had to sign him and dump Moorman.
Mike in Syracuse Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 If it's an issue of his wife's health why not just retire?
Kevin Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Not sure what to think. If something is indeed wrong with his wife (which I pray ISN'T the case) then why wouldn't he just retire? I also don't buy too much into what Thurman Thomas says either. I would be more interested into hearing what Jill Kelly has to say if anything was said by her at all. I think in the end it was a performance issue. At the very least, that's what I hope it was for. In any event he was a good player for the Bills. Even if he was only a punter he still did a great job at it.

Bobby April might have been gunning for his boy, Moorman, all along.
dhg Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 If it's an issue of his wife's health why not just retire? Maybe so the Bills could do him a favor and still pay him.

Kevin Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 And this might have been exactly what the Eagles wanted. Bobby April might have been gunning for his boy, Moorman, all along. A conspiracy theory over a punter?
bills44 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) The Bills have made it official. I'm not sure who this is but I saw this retweeted by one of the BillsMafia guys: Michael Thomas @MichaelThomas82 Holy ****! I hope its not true RT @ChrisByrd13 Not sure its true.But Im hearing Moorman's wife has terminal cancer & he asked to be released not taking a shot at you, as I know you're just re-posting something you've read but it's totally wrong for people to tweet rumors like this.

bladiebla Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 This means that there will be static and a black screen at 4:30, with the press conference occurring around 6 pm (likely without sound). If someone should be cut, it is the Bills audio/visual presser team. lol, so true!
QCity Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 After reading the last 2 pages now I'm hoping that he was cut based on his performance....
May Day 10 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 a health issue of some sort seems like the only thing that would really make sense to me.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I don't think there is any validity to the "wife has cancer" story, simply because of this: http://blogs.buffalo...oormans-future/ Why would Chris Brown, who obviously would be in the loop about these things, write an article about where Moorman is going to go next if Moorman asked for his release to tend to his wife's illness? The most obvious answer is that Moorman's play has declined over the last few years and the Bills went younger. Simple. Edited September 25, 2012 by BillsGuyInBallstonSpa
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 anyone have the link to the press conference? I can't find it on bb.com.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Quotes from the presser (via Twitter): GM Buddy Nix: "It's always a tough decision, especially for a guy who has been here for 12 years" Nix: "We look all the time at possible ways to upgrade and get a little better at each position"
The Big Cat Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 anyone have the link to the press conference? I can't find it on bb.com. Are you suggesting the Bills don't have their online-act together for a press conference? Weird.
John from Riverside Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I sincerely hope there is nothing wrong with Brians wife...
Astrobot Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Moorman's stat line for 2012: 15 punts, 45.5 gross average, 2 downed inside 20, 1 touchback. Net average of 32.7 is 30th in the league. I think our problem going forward will be (a) holding for Lindell, and (b) explaining why we waited until Pats* Week to do this.
