HOUSE Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) That didn’t take long. Yesterday the Chicago Bears released quarterback Jordan Palmer and named Jimmy Clausen their official backup quarterback. Today we learned that their Week 1 opponents, the Buffalo Bills, plan on signing him to a new contract. The most immediate benefit that the Bills will get from Palmer is loads of information about how the Bears offense operates. Even though head coach Doug Marrone denies it: SNIP> http://network.yardb...palmer/17138609 Edited August 27, 2014 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) “It’s not exactly what you want,” Cutler said. “He can give them things I’m sure. He knows snap counts, some of the stuff we do with our checks, what plays we like. But they still have to defend it. So we won’t change much if anything, maybe a few tweaks here and there. But we’ll just have to go play football and see how it goes.” doesn't sound annoyed. just a practical response. disappointing too, since I was hoping signing of palmer had added benefit of getting inside his head Edited August 27, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm not sure Marrone will do that but if it makes the Bears second guess their week 1 gameplan and they start running stuff that they are not as comfortable or familiar with then all the better for us.

sjjr Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Palmer for sure has a lot of info on what the Bears D is game planning. Belichek has been doing this kind of stuff to the Bills for years....great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 This is approximately the 7000th time this scenario has happened in the NFL. Big deal. Cutler should get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Nice little shot at the bills with the last sentence there. Yep, but the Bills will get no respect until they win consistently. They've earned the disrespect through 14 years of suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think coaches and players look at film all the time to try and figure out how to play an opponent. As as earlier post said, players are cut and signed by teams all the time. I doubt there is a huge advantage in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yep, but the Bills will get no respect until they win consistently. They've earned the disrespect through 14 years of suck. +1. The Bills suck until consistently proven otherwise on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It's so pathetic that the entire Nfl views the Bills like that last line describes. .....sad but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 i love how no one in the lamestream media has asked the bills how they feel about the bears signing caussin. he was here for years, so i'm sure he knows all our snap counts. plus, no one finds it curious that they made him their backup qb? dude was a tight end! to me, that's far more out of line than the bills signing palmer.

Cugalabanza Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 What exactly did he say that was a shot at the Bills? Am I missing something? Cutler didn't take a shot at the Bills. The guy who wrote the article did..."The good news is that even if Palmer is able to give them an inside scoop, the Bills still have an inherent disadvantage to overcome in being the Buffalo Bills."

Agreed This gets so overblown every time a team signs a former player of a future opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
