Exactly. He's a quitter, and the Bills should ensure he sees exactly 1 weeks' worth of pay, not a penny more.

His teammates I think would of been far more willing to accept this after the game.

No matter what he's ever done on the field, he will now always be remembered as a quitter. F him......gutless move.

There better not be anybody on this board who would want to play for the Patriots.

Still haven't gotten over Thurman in a Fish uniform.

Well Vince Davis’s retirement worked. Bills only gave up 3 points in the team’s two quarters post retirement. 

 

In 6 quarters with him starting, they gave up 65. 

 

Addition by subtraction.

Really? you had this kind of deep thought in the middle of a football game?

 

Really.

 

 

 

Some level of preplanning had to be involved. My guess is, he had decided to retire after the game and he just moved up the timeline by 1 half.

He only played 2 of those quarters.  He did not play vs Baltimore at all.

That's worse than Ruben Brown, !@#$ him.

 

At least Ruben had a bit of a case.  He refused to play for Greggo.   

 

The rest of the Bills apparently agreed, losing 31-0 to the Pats...

[ColoradoBills]

When Keenan Robinson retired this year he got all his money and Bills got a Cap Hit.

Why does he get it and Davis doesn't?

Your throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall hoping something sticks.  Peterman played MUCH better in preseason than Allen.  He started game 1.  When it was clear that he is a preseason/practice player, he switched to Allen.  That's called GOOD decision making.  The D was better in the second half because McD took-over play calling.  Good, that's leadership, and the D was better as a result.  Davis quitting has nothing to do with this.  Read Davis' twitter.  Also, Bean, not McD got Davis.  And Davis was terrible in preseason and perhaps told he wasn't starting the 2nd half.  The anti-McD narrative is hilarious.   This is a rebuilding year.  

 

Sure give McD credit for knowing when to pull the plug but it's also more than fair to question his decisions to have Peterman and Fraser in those roles in the first place given their performance. McD is above Beane in the pecking order. He's at least approving roster decisions if not making them in the first place. 

 

You can't umbrella every mistake this regime makes by just saying they're rebuilding.

You do that after the game. Can you imagine a fire fighter or a marine in the middle of a fight or even a teacher in the middle of a class or a chef in the middle of the dinner rush deciding I'm not doing this any more? You do it after the game.

You respect a guy who quit on his team in the middle of a game because he had some PR flunky write some sappy bull ****??

Gives me so much confidence on how these guys will spend all that free agent money next year.

I'm not umbrellaing anything.  This regime also made the playoffs last year, but some seem to cherry-pick the bad decisions.  

 

Frazier had a good track record as a D-coordinator, and I don't think it was a bad decision to start  Peterman--who had a great preseason, over a rookie QB, behind an abysmal O-line, in the first game.  

 

I'd rather have a coach like McD that makes corrections and moves forward than a stubborn coach who sticks by his initial decisions hoping to be proven right at some point.  

[HalftimeAdjustment]

I just had an idea.. I think maybe Brandon Beane should have a similar realization. "I don't belong in this job."
