Pete Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 We need Josh Gordon like Chris Christie needs food. How the !@#$ we missed out again I couldn't !@#$ing tell you. The Bills are pathetic and comical. Same old Bills. Maybe next decade they will be decent. Or maybe the decade after that. No guarantees

Expand Huh...Explain what? Neither guy at the time of interest or trade is even remotely comparable to the case of Gordon. So let me flip it around, explain to me why after having clear interest in trading for Bryant (BEFORE he got in more trouble), why didn't they claim him on waivers earlier this month when they could have gotten him free? (Hint: Because his situation got worse). Gordon is literally an ill timed fart in an elevator away from being permanently out of the league, literally just missed an entire preseason to deal with his on going addiction struggles, and was now being given up on by the team that stood by him through all of it because now he was also not adhering to team rules despite being on a last straw short leash with said team.

Even last year, he had one TD. He caught a bunch of bombs but he had games where he caught 25-50% of his targets. His YPC is the only thing he has to show for 5 games of work. And I don't think that the Browns, who have gone above and beyond to get him to test negative, would suddenly and unexpectedly get rid of him., Does anyone really believe that they said, "yes we have been patient with your addition and endless suspensions....but WE DRAW THE LINE AT NONFOOTBALL MUSCLE STRAINS!"
