Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Exactly. Roman, Ryan, and both Pegulas would be pissed if they thought that had anything to do with it. I would bet anything this was something they all spoke about, load out the reasons and possible scenarios and decided this together. Yes, I'm quite confident this was a decision made looking forward to the 53-man cutdown and considering the best interests of the team, with everyone at the table.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Leroi called this 5 months ago. Bills should have cut him then as opposed to a week or so before the season starts. Not a fan with how this went down. Edited August 31, 2015 by BuffaloBillsForever
MDH Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 If he ends up on the Pats, how will people react? Will they root for him? (Side note: I doubt he ends up on the Pats even though he's had so many great games against them over the years.) I'll root for him but not the team. I'll hope he puts up solid numbers and does a good job in a losing effort.
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The sinking feeling in my stomach says so yes. He's a better RB than anyone on this roster not named McCoy. Boobie proved he can't handle the load and Please remember this post, hoping Karlos Willimas will let a lot of fans down. He was an average tweener at FSU who lost his job to a true freshman. He's not a RB, he's a athlete without a true position and also has had fumbling problems. He will bomb mark my words. There is no replacement on this team for Freddy, not in a backup role or a leadership role. Terrible move.you are "hoping Karlos Williams will let a lot of fans down?" Mark your words? What kind of post is this?
seq004 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Love me some Fred but I trust Rex when in comes to backfield talent. We will always love you Freddy a class act!

What I don't get is why fans feel the need to trash and ill-wish other Bills players in their hurt and sorrow over cutting Fred.
NoSaint Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Cleveland needs a RB. But I'd look for a contender to pick him up. Belechek loves him. The Colts? Seahawks? Cowboys? My guess is Cowboys or Pats. cowboys would be close to his hometown, right? id think hed want a shot at a winner, but hes never seen the astronomical pay day that some guys do, so money may play a bigger part than expected still.
Lurker Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I guess I'm late to the party on this. Really F'n Stupid......

Gordio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 He's has one fumble in the last two years (not a ton of touches, but still). I think a lot of people here have not looked at Fred's fumbling stats for the past few years. 8 in the last two years. Exactly, I think the fumble sticks out because it was such a stupid fumble and cost us the KC game. However, when your head coach says referring to Brown " I will remember his name when he learns how to hold onto the ball." I think even the coaches think he has a fumbling problem. Jackson put the rock on the ground quite a bit the past few years. I am okay with the move, sad to see Fredex go. He was truly one of the good guys in the NF. Class act.
eball Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I don't think you can underestimate this point. Whaley's made some curious moves since he became GM and Jackson isn't a Whaley guy. At the same time, I think Rex has final say and he's not a FJ guy either. Still stinks. Bad I think the fairer point is that Whaley and Rex aren't "34-year-old RB with bad wheels" guys.
DC Grid Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I get it, but this stinks. If they couple this move with starting Cassel it will prove there remains no hope for making the Playoffs this year. Watch New England pick up Freddy.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I guess I'm late to the party on this. Really F'n Stupid...... It is not a surprise as it has been speculated before, just the timing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
A Dog Named Kelso Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 This rank up there with "Sorry Jim we are going with Todd" ... Best decision ever!(NOT)
NoSaint Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 you are "hoping Karlos Williams will let a lot of fans down?" Mark your words? What kind of post is this? its the kind of post that we would mark as incredibly embarrassing if we saw it on another teams board. hate to see it here.
PortlandiaEast Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'll root for him but not the team. I'll hope he puts up solid numbers and does a good job in a losing effort. Seems like the story of Fred's career.
Big Gun Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Cutting Jackson is comparable to losing a SuperBowl? Some of these comments are amazing. Bills fans for ya, as irrational as irrational can get.
Heitz Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Peter King @SI_PeterKing Hard to hang onto 34-yr-old RB/not a core special-teamer/backup RB. Emotional, but can’t fault Bills. When asked for his opinion...
PlayoffsPlease Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 This is the type of decision you expect from a GM/Coach combo that has presided over exactly 1 winning season between them since 2010.
