When you read how his gaps, assignments, reads, and stunts got manhandled it doesn’t give one confidence with Love being promoted it means that we keep Murphy as a big body and perhaps transition it to DT just to clog running lanes but even that is a stretch. Not quite sure what you're watching. Murphy's been fine when healthy. You say "a lot of these guys they brought in ... they are now having severe buyers remorse on." Who, other than Benjamin? Ivory? Barkley? McKenzie? Poyer and Hyde? Lotulelei? They're paying Clay too much but they aren't the FO that paid far too much for him. Their pickups have mostly been OK, though they've taken some low-priced fliers on guys that haven't worked out, like Pryor and Boldin, but there's nothing wrong with trying in situations like this. They've made some mistakes ... everyone does. But overall, understanding that this was a rebuild, they've done fine so far. Still a lot to prove, but they've done well while still cleaning up the salary cap. 10 minutes ago, Dadonkadonk said: You missed his amazing punt coverage? Or did you miss his special teams penalties? On fire? 3 TDs in his last three games? I wouldn't have used those words, myself, but they're not all that far off the mark. He's playing well recently, with a revolving cast at QB and as a 2nd year man who was injured for a lot of camp. Edited December 5, 2018 by Thurman#1 1

Norcalbillsfan Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 39 minutes ago, yrly said: Call me crazy but I would not have cut him. Guaranteed salary is one reason. I’d have made him sit the bench. No one would have signed him next year so you could sign him to a very low heavily performance laden contract. In doing so you could throw him out there as a decoy on certain routes even if he sucks they’ll still cover him. Now someone can try him out for free I kinda thought the same thing, but it opened up 2 rosters spots and they brought up 2 guys from the practice squad that are fighting for chance all year for a spot, when kb looked like he was collecting a pay check and nothing else.
IDBillzFan Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 29 minutes ago, Dadonkadonk said: On fire? He looked like a casualty this offseason, and with a new quarterback he's easily going to double his rookie production. He's getting better. More productive. He helped account for 14 of the team's 17 points this weekend. So, yeah. For Zay Jones, he's on fire. Think it's too much? Fine. But he's much closer to "on fire" than "dreadful." Anyone can see that. Well, anyone being honest with themselves. 2

We traded Darby, a starting cb on the Eagles (who were happy to get rid of JM) for Matthews. He had less than 300 yards for us (he has less than 300 yards for the Eagles this year). Great move. we traded a 7th for Coleman and cut him after a week. The Pats picked him up for nothing and cut him. Great point!!! Zay Jones is on ? to the tune of 42 yards/ game! Meanwhile, JuJu is at 92 yards/ game and is a top 10 receiver. Kupp was at 71. Fun fact, they didn’t have to trade up for either of these guys. But man, you really got me!!! another fun fact. It’s ok as a bills fan to not pretend like every move they make is great. They have a done good job on defense. But to pretend like they haven’t been failures on offense, especially at receiver, is just lying to yourself. This offense sucked. 2 hours ago, BillsFan692 said: I love, love, LOVED McDermotts comment "we need to trim the fat off that route" i was literally rolling on the floor laughing.

Nihilarian Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 When Beane traded for KB I was so very happy that the Bills finally had that big, tall red zone target AND he had a history of success at Carolina. This guy was playing like he just signed a 100 million dollar contact and turned into a complete bum in Buffalo while in a contract year...dunno why. Now I'm glad that overpaid underachiever is finally gone and was wondering why it took so long. 2
BuffaloButt Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 We need to build our WR's like what the Chiefs are doing. Fast young guys who can get separation. Looks like we're going in that direction. Cudos to this decision. Really looks like its 1988 and were building for the future. GO BILLS!!! 1
Aussie Joe Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 He is gone and now I am glad, but it would have been a better outcome if he was half decent... They could have done something with that third round pick otherwise..

Monty Green Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 4 hours ago, Thurman#1 said: Boldin retired. And they didn't lose a dollar on him. No fault falls on the Bills for that evaluation. Well come on now, no fault at all? I don't think the Bills signed Boldin with the expectation that he'd be retiring a few weeks later. Or Vontae Davis, for that matter -- they brought these guys in expecting them to contribute or else they wouldn't have brought them in. The team spent resources to acquire Jordan Matthews & Kelvin Benjamin expecting more than what they ended up getting. It's a recurring theme with this regime -- their evaluation of what they will be getting out of a player has mismatched with the reality of the player a lot in a short amount of time. Boldin, Davis, Benjamin, Matthews, Peterman... those are all pretty significant misfires in evaluating a player's ability to contribute. But maybe it's all just part of the process!
Chandler#81 Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Even the national media is bashing KB, while giving Bills brass kudos. I was done with him when he dropped a sure TD in mop up duty at Baltimore. We we should retire #13, just because.. 1
Gray Beard Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 This move gives me hope that Beane and McD may just be ok after all. The offense has been getting a little more attention lately with guys like McKenzie. They are cutting the fat and giving young guys a chance. Good moves. Now let’s see what happens in the draft.... in six months. That is a long time to wait to see what happens next.
bmur66 Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 The only real problem with both of these guys is that they can't catch. Other than that they are pretty good receivers. 1

If he was a Whaley deciphile he would have been gone long ago 2
