Coach Tuesday Hall of Famer

Way to make my ignore list! Good Job! BTW I just want to quote some one else's signature on here "after Tuesday the rest of the week goes WTF" (it's either Beerball or Just Jack, I think). And BTW Byrd is the first best player on the D with Mario 2nd, right now IMO. Gilmore did great for a rookie (and yeah, damn doom and gloom, we will miss him) but still has to be a distant 3rd.

 

I'll admit it was a stretch. Just venting a bit. But it does seem like the Bills have a disproportionate number of these things each year. (I'm surprised I made it this long without being ignored by you, quite frankly. Not that I really give a crap.)

Our best young player on offense (EJ) is hurt. Now our best young player on defense is hurt.

 

Not an auspicious beginning to the 2013 season.

 

Greg Rosenthal of NFL.com writes:

 

"It's a crushing blow for new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. The former New York Jets coordinator was going to count on Gilmore to cover the opposing team's best receiver, like Antonio Cromartie and Darrelle Revis once did in New York. This injury will limit Pettine's creativity and force a rough-looking starting cornerback group to start the season."

Actually Coach, I find that the Bills have been pretty lucky by comparison. As of now, the team has lost Gilmore for the first 4-6 weeks of the regular season...and...that's pretty much it. It's being reported that EJ is "on track" for week 1, so if we escape the pre-season with Gilmore as the only casualty (knock on wood), and it's only for 4-6 regular season games, I'll feel pretty good about that.

 

Contrast it with the #s around the league, and it's not so bad. I mean, I look at Philly losing 3 starters for the season, New Orleans losing their top 2 pass rushers, etc., and I don't feel so bad.

Well, ****.

 

I wont guess what 4-letter word you used but I feel the same way.

 

That half the season folks.

 

Prolly will have to pick up another CB after the cuts around the league.

 

This team has no luck I swear :wallbash:

At least Pettine is familiar with losing his #1 corner to injury.... and can adapt.. hopefully....

 

I'd feel better about that if we had a Cromartie at #2 CB, his Jet LBs, and safeties.

 

GO BILLS!!!

I think it feels worse around here because of the overall youth and lack of depth, especially at the position. I agree though - we got very lucky with EJ and CJ on some potential stuff in the PSA and compared to other teams, have really been rather lucky on the surface (knocking on wood).

LOL. Problem is they didn't adapt. They were 2-1 with Revis and 4-9 the rest of the season after Revis went out.

I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad.

 

Can Julie Andrews play CB?

It is what it is.

 

McLoving better earn that paycheck is all I'm saying.

Jesus Christ. Look for Aaron Williams to leave the safety position now

 

Uhh that's not happening. Williams will be starting at SS against New England, you can take that to the bank. McKelvin, Brooks, Butler, Rogers and maybe even Robey. Someone's gonna have to step up big time.

any vet FAs available waiting for the injury bug to hit someone?

 

heck, even a mcgee if remotely healthy might be a good september option over that rag tag crew. we have the space even if its not efficient spending.

Perfect, for the opener we got the hoody right where we want him. Leodis better learn to turn his head around because Brady will be after him all day. It could be brutal. The pats* losing TE's, Welker, etc. doesn't seem like such a big deal against the Bills anymore, if it ever was.

I'll take Byrd over his FS. LBs were decent. Cromartie, yessir.

 

LOL. Problem is they didn't adapt. They were 2-1 with Revis and 4-9 the rest of the season after Revis went out.

They also royally sucked on offense. But I know.

 

I wonder if Winfield makes the roster in Seattle.... he signed there in the offseason but they are one of the few teams with solid depth at corner. I know he is at the end of his career, but that guy can tackle. Always liked him here. Would not mind if he was back for a few games.

Why the hell do you merge threads like this? Sure it's talking about Gilmore's injury but some posters (like myself) don't want to wade through a thread with this title when a thread titled "Gilmore out 6-8 weeks" is a much better description of the current circumstances.

 

At least change the title of this thread.

 

I love this board and have been a member for over a decade but the thread merging sh*t gets annoying. It makes sense in some instances and in others it just seems like bored moderators just having nothing better to do.
