And my favorite after he came in the game for 1 play and got hammered: "I hope Joey Bosa's all right!" (can't find the tweet now) If you've got a cool Barkley quip or clip, put 'er here (be nice, he was a good teammate) Thx for great post! Also Tasker mentioned on Buffalo fanatics YouTube show ( Rico host) this week how much Barkley’s wife did for the other players wives /so’s) during their time in Buffalo. She made them feel cared about and helped them adjust to the NFL/ Buffalo. So loss goes beyond Matt and affects culture here. Plus / minus on this move for just a one year stay will be determined, esp if ( hopefully) he doesn’t have to see the field. Tribusky with 29 NFL wins under his belt so that is something Matt didn’t have. Beane stressed we were a game away from SB , but hey if Barkley was good for last year , I find it hard to believe an insurance policy , no matter how good ( hey he will never be josh) gets you closer. Esp with d line not better with exception of star a year older. Beane did say they believe in our capacity to run with our guys but they will still look in draft at line, rb options and made a point lots of vets will be cut later as teams drafts come into play etc. Also thought same about pats going back to future of offense with gronk / Hernandez type 12 personel use. Said Frazier will need to Solve that! ( good luck cuz our D response to kc twice was not Einstein like !) Edited March 19, 2021 by DrPJax 3
LEBills Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 His last pass as a Buffalo Bill was a 56 yard touchdown to Gabe Davis to finish the Fish beatdown week 17. Not too shabby, Matt. Thanks for helping Josh the last few years. Good luck in the future. 4 1
oldmanfan Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Many thanks Matt. You’ll always be a Bill. Best of luck.
HOUSE Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) BYE, Thanks and good luck . Edited March 20, 2021 by HOUSE 1
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 A truly good person and incredible teammate. I completely understand why the team made the move, but it still sucks to see him go. I think the idea is thrown around too often, but if they could keep him around in some sort of coaching or assistant role, I think he would be great. If he has any interest in that sort of thing. 1 1
Mark Vader Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 He was great to have hear as our back-up QB, and our best cheerleader. One of my favorite Barkley stories was that spider he found in his basement. Does anyone still have that thread?
letsgoteam Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 He was always so happy when Josh or anyone else made a play! It was great to catch him on the sideline cheering during games! 3
Beast Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I’ll miss the guy. I think Trubisky is the better QB but will he be the better teammate? I hope so because Barkley was one ***** good one. 2
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Great teammate, role model and mentor for Josh. Unfortunately not a great arm or QB. But Barkley was a lovable guy who embraced Buffalo and that gets respect. I hope Mitch can have the same attitude because he is a serious upgrade at QB#2
Irv Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Guy is a class act. Good luck Matt. You did great for us and the team. Maybe he can go Fitzy and extend his career. From Wikipedia: Personal life[edit] Barkley's cousin, Robbie Boyer, was a walk-on at USC during Barkley's freshman, sophomore, and junior years.[2] Barkley's younger siblings, twins Sam and Lainy, attend USC.[101] Barkley is a Christian. During Christmas 2008, Barkley went with a group of friends and family to help run an orphanage in South Africa.[13][17] For Christmas 2010, he spent his winter break in Nigeria "visiting orphans, widows, villagers and prisoners, doing construction work, distributing supplies and gifts and sharing daily fellowship."[102] In 2012, Barkley led a group of 16 USC football teammates to Haiti, where they built houses and delivered more than 2,000 pounds of supplies for orphanages and schools.[103] He appears on I Am Second, sharing the story of his Christian faith and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.[104] At the beginning of his USC career, Barkley befriended former USC Olympian, World War II prisoner of war and inspirational speaker Louis Zamperini.[3] Barkley married his high school sweetheart Brittany Langdon, a year after he graduated from USC, in July 2013.[105] In December 2014, she announced via Twitter she was pregnant.[106] Their son was born in 2015.[107] 2 1
uninja Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 That ***** eating grin he had on his face when Josh was getting a talking to from McD for getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty will always make me laugh. Also his hilariously wide open TD to Dion Dawkins in that Jets game to just really rub it in that they were getting torched by our backup QB who had been in the building maybe a week. 3 1
NewEra Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Matt. You’re a good dude and a good fit in Buffalo even if you’re a so cal beach bum at heart. I appreciate ya and I’m pretty sure the mafia appreciates and loves you! Good luck and don’t give away our secrets if you join another team 1

Bad Things Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I loved his sideline celebrations. Good luck, Matt!!

You and your wife can be Spin Instructors in Orchard Park. The common Man of Buffalo isn't in orchard Park Open it up on Fillmore and East ferry .. they need spin instructors too

Charles Romes Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I’m not so sure he’s done. Trubisky can be flipped for very nice value. 1
