Chandler#81 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 He’s a Patriot* now. They don’t get penalized. Duh...

hmsmystic Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 He was a great corner for the Bills. Hard to argue with the fact that he is getting better being coached by one of the top defensive minds of all time 1
benderbender Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Throughout the playoffs, it’s been really disappointing to have to point out to the wife all of the former Bills players on seemingly each team.
Doc Brown Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I think he's gotten a little better. It may be scheme, coaching, more experience, etc., but he makes more plays and doesn't get burned as often as he did here.

But once you become a Patriot you're given far more leverage and you can hold, arm bar etc without having to worry about ever getting called....

He's good. that is all! The only issue I had with todays game was that Goff went after Gilmore many times when usually the offensive plan is to stay away from him. But Goff clearly showed his colours tonight . He sucks...so who knows why he was throwing to where.... He’s much better than good. The greatest coach in NFL history thought he was great and signed him. But this board somehow is smarter. And the refs don’t favor the Patriots. They are just better. Better players. Better coaches.
Utah John Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Gilmore was a very good cover guy for the Bills but he wouldn't tackle to save his life. What he was doing was saving his body so he could sign somewhere else and be in good shape to play well. It really sucks that he did that, showing his coverage skills for sale to the highest bidder, but not playing quite enough for the Bills to decide to pay him what others would. 1 1
thenorthremembers Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Great corners make the hall of fame. Gilmore is a good player.

Belichick is the best coach. Gronk is a better TE. Brady is Brady. Their Oline is better. The rest, you apperantly dont watch football.
Blokestradamus Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Really proud of my guy. He's copped nothing but ***** from this fanbase for 7 years, him and his family have been harrassed no end on social media. I really hope Stephon, Gabrielle and the kids enjoy this one. He's a good egg and he deserves it. 4 1

In Buffalo he gets flags in New England announcers drool over his “coverage skills” He's still a really physical corner, as he was in Buffalo. He still gets called a fair bit. Famous players get a bit more leeway. It's got nothing to do with the team he's on, IMO. He was really good in Buffalo. I still wish we hadn't been in such crappy salary cap shape that year. It would have been interesting to see if he'd have stayed. I guess he would have but no way to know at this point. Edited February 4, 2019 by Thurman#1
Jpsredemption Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 More talent that this regime let walk. At first you dismiss it as cleaning up the cap and or not overpaying but when all these guys are having career years and making pro bowls you have to question Beane and McDermotts decision making processes.

By this definition, a lot of good players will be found to be great players five years after they retire. Gilmore has a pretty decent shot at the hall, though he needs to continue playing at this level for a while longer. 6 hours ago, KW95 - JA17 said: The only difference that I see here: ( Wallflowers song ) is that Goff is done! I will also predict that McVay will fade away shortly! What's that you say? Goff is young? Yup.
thebandit27 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I've said my piece on this. Up to the rest of you to decide who was right
oldmanfan Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 If Gilmore had been in his Bills uni he would have dropped that interception.
