8-8 Forever? Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) First, why should I care? Second, he IS right you know yes he is. Hogan , Gilly and Gilmore got called up to the big leagues from the farm team AND got paid. doesnt get much better than that. winning cures everything.... go win some games, have a star QB and you'll get the TV coverage, well, not really because the franchise isn't really marketable... well.... at least start winning games and making the playoffs, that's a start.

Gugny Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 He's butt sore Bills didn't make him a big offer. His little ego was hurt. Get over it man, like honestly. You got ur big fat contract, in a big city, with a team that's got a QB. things are good for you. stop gloating. no class. You think he's butt sore? I highly doubt it. I don't consider what he wrote to be gloating, at all. He stated a fact. He could have said, "no more of just one obligatory prime time game for me! ...." ... which is also a fact. I think he took the high road in expressing his excitement.
Blokestradamus Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Just when I thought he couldn't possibly endear himself to me any more, he joins me in my favourite pastime. That's my boy.
May Day 10 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Lame to get bent out of shape about this. He is correct.
JMF2006 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Can't wait to see how the Patsies and Belly handle his finger pointing after being burned.
GunnerBill Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Can't wait to see how the Patsies and Belly handle his finger pointing after being burned. Maybe their safeties will know the plays and know the defense? Maybe they won't be coached by dumb and much much dumber?
JM57 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I know it's after the fact that he is gone but I have felt this way about him the whole time he was here. And that is, I'll never forget the look on his face when the Bills drafted him. Roger Goodell handed his Bills hat and someone handed him his jersey and he had this look on his face of 'Man....I don't wanna play for those guys.......'. I thought it was a bit of a strange reaction by someone who not only was drafted high in the first round but was also badly needed by the team. Apparently, my suspicions were correct as it reflected in his play. I interpreted it as more of a 'try to look good without hurting yourself and just play out your contract'. I hope he has many games on national TV so the rest of the country can see how he really is. People like you are the problem. You saw that "reaction" and decided right then you didn't like him based on something you perceived. But let me ask you this; in the 5 years he was here, did you ever see him with any other expression on his face? Dude's like a robot, he always looks exactly the same The Hogan play was not on Gilmore. Gilmore will be an all pro this year. No no no no you leave Jonathan Meeks out of this he's a nice boy and we have decided that everything and any thing was Gilmore's fault because DID YOU SEE HIS FACE WHEN HE GOT DRAFTED? - TBD posters mostly Edited July 18, 2017 by JM57
HappyDays Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) You think he's butt sore? I highly doubt it. I don't consider what he wrote to be gloating, at all. He stated a fact. He could have said, "no more of just one obligatory prime time game for me! ...." ... which is also a fact. I think he took the high road in expressing his excitement. Any player that talks about how many primetime games "their people" get to see them in is a douche. Saying it after leaving Buffalo is even douchier. Doesn't affect any of us personally, just makes me happier he's off the team. Couldn't care if it's "just facts," if I tell my girlfriend she looks fat in a dress might be "just facts" and I'm still sleeping on the couch. Edited July 18, 2017 by HappyDays
8-8 Forever? Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Can't wait to see how the Patsies and Belly handle his finger pointing after being burned. yeah, he's pretty much a zone corner; you don't pay that kind of $$ for a zone corner... but I guess the Pats do. maybe they plan on playing more man this year... who knows Edited July 18, 2017 by jmcraig44
Kirby Jackson Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Gilmore is a good player and will have a good year. He opened himself up to ruthless trolling with 1 comment. It wasn't that his comment was that bad or anything. It's more of a function of "than how we operate in the social media age." Someone tweets something that offends a certain demographic and said demographic relentlessly pounds them with gifs, memes and crying Jordan faces.
8-8 Forever? Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Let's be real abouthis tenure here-- since being forced to buffalo in the draft he's had 2 owners, 2 gms (3 if you count McD this offseason), 3 head coaches, 5 defensive coordinators and Darby is the only starter in our secondary he's even played with... and regardless of how we see it, he was offered far less to stay here than to go elsewhere. Dude being excited about his offseason is no big insult to me. He probably didn't have the best time in buffalo. yeee ep. that about sums it up. Sammy will be doing the same dance 12 months from now.
CommonCents Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Seriously. The uproar makes little sense to me. Sensitive Buffalo fans. When you go from a perennial mediocre/****ty team to a perennial playoff team and get paid in the process you should be happy. Don't blame Gilmore. Blame the ****ty product that's been put on the field year in and year out. The team sucks/has sucked that didn't form or change my opinion about Gilmore. If he struggles in NE the Boston media will turn him into the next Pablo Sandoval. That would make me happier than anything outside of the Bills actually winning games this season. His attitude sucks, I don't think you win with guys like him. Sure he can win on the 17' Pats. They could line Justin Rogers up opposite of Butler and still go 14-2.
GunnerBill Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 yeah, he's pretty much a zone corner; you don't pay that kind of $$ for a zone corner... but I guess the Pats do. maybe they plan on playing more man this year... who knows Sorry? Gilmore is not a zone corner.
Blokestradamus Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Someone tweets something that offends a certain demographic and said demographic relentlessly pounds them with gifs, memes and crying Jordan faces. I really need to take a long look at my social media policy. I barely do any of that. Also, you said "relentlessly pounds"
BarleyNY Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Can't wait to see how the Patsies and Belly handle his finger pointing after being burned. I'm going to go out on the shortest limb ever and say that Belichick knows how to play Gilmore and that he only paid him that large because he knows he's a great fit in his defense. He played under a stupid, lazy, coach running an obsolete scheme the last two seasons. Everyone on defense looked bad under the mostly retired Wrex.
Kirby Jackson Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 I really need to take a long look at my social media policy. I barely do any of that. Also, you said "relentlessly pounds" British Twitter must be different. We have people that have made careers out of commenting on Twitter. I have a friend that does it for a living and has ended up famous. It's not that hard to offend (it's hard to get a following). Pick someone with a wide audience and every time that they open themselves up for a cheap shot you take it (and you take it until they block you).
BarleyNY Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Sorry? Gilmore is not a zone corner. Actually his specialty is press zone coverage and he did extremely well in Schwartz's Cover 2 that utilized him that way. Seattle uses a press Cover 3 and obviously a player like him could always press on the C2 side of a Cover 6. Gilmore has got a lot to offer in a lot of defensive schemes, just not so much when he constantly gets put on an island like in Wrex's dumbass scheme. What I don't know is how he'd play in McD's Cover 3 that calls for CBs to typically use the bail technique rather than press. Between that, him (obviously) wanting to move on and the cap situation the Bills are in I can certainly understand why he wasn't re-signed here. Edited July 18, 2017 by BarleyNY
BringBackOrton Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 He never had a chance to sign with the Bills because he was drafted by them. And then, the best team in the last 20 years paid him a lot of money, Clearly, Gilmore is the loser in this situation. Can't wait for these posts after Sammy signs with GB or Pittsburgh next year. Honestly, that's the kinda of petty, small minded BS that makes Buffalo media terrible. He had a chance to sign with the Bills when he became an FA.
