24 hours. Meh. Non-story. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Has anyone verified that this actually happens or is it just urban legend?

 

Honestly what does a guy like this know that the opposing coaches don't already know from film study?

[BuffaloRebound]

Yes, they had a competitive advantage.  It was wanting the game more than the Bills.

Defensive calls and signals would be a big help.

I think the question is if this particular guy would have had access to that info while on the Bills. Mayden spent less than a month on our practice squad. Would he really know more about the Bills playcalling/signals than the opposition could learn from watching film ?

The Jets had this game circled on their schedule. All week long the buildup in the NYC area was can the Jets hang in there with the best team in the division. The Bills have to understand they will get everyone's best shot especially from the division.

Saleh taking a page from Belicheat's playbook.  Dude used to do it all the time, then cut the player as soon as the game ended.  The NFL got wise to that cheating, so now you have to keep a guy like this on the active roster for a few weeks.  Belicheat famously did this with Jonathan "Fast Freddie" Smith.  This was another "let's screw the Bills over once, then change the rules so it doesn't happen again" scenario.  Shame on Saleh for stooping to Belicheat's level, especially if you've pledged not to do it.

I knew there was a reason Allen threw 2 bonehead INT's. Mystery solved.

Yeah.  Remember Opening Day in Buffalo when Bills signed Lawyer Malloy. 31-0. Sam Adams big day against the Pats* w/Bills* in 2003 against future SuperBowl Champions. Brady looked horrible when Bills knew the plays!

Bills did it too... Opening Day 2003.

Cheating has become ethically accepted in all aspects of our society. 

 

"If you're not Cheating,  you're not trying"

 

"Its only cheating if you get caught"

 

"I didn't see the Astros get punished"

 

This is a sad commentary on what we're teaching future generations.

Come on Gugny, I saw you jam weights down that Bass's throat.

Nah. Bills were outcoached, outworked and Josh was average for much of the game.  All that = a Bills loss. 4 or 5 plays made the difference.

Less than honorable to go against your word,  but not cheating. 

 

Saleh is the first Muslim HC. I wonder what the "Owner's Manual" (IE: Quran) has to say about "honor" and your word?

 

I know what the Bible says. I forgive you Robert Saleh! 😆 

 

~Matthew 6:14-15

"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Oh man, I forgot that we cut Lawyer Milloy immediately after the game....

[Mr. WEO]

how else do you explain Case Keenum on the Bills roster?
