He tried to pull a Thurman Thomas on us and couldn’t. He still has another shot but has to stay healthy, not an easy assignment for an older that hasn’t looked like himself since the 2021 season. 7 hours ago, Riverboat Ritchie said: First, I still really like Jordan Poyer and I hope when Dolphins come to Buffalo, Bills do something classy for him.

He looked like he was running in molasses last night. He has been slowing for years and years and I think at points last year, he was a liability. Of course we love Poyer.. but he was on the downhill for, like you said, a few years and last night he was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Fan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Jordan Poyer loves us so much he helps us out even when he is wearing the other teams uniform 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 lol, the second Cook broke through the line and I saw it was only #21 out there I was jumping up and down yelling "TO THE HOUSE! TO THE HOUSE!". Glad Poyer gets to milk a couple more million out of the Dolphins while semi-retiring to south Florida. Although I'm sure Rachel has spent it already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORWOODS FOOT Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) As much as I love Poyer, and the Bills’ friendly atmosphere, I’m glad they made the right business decision on him. and I’m equally happy that Miami made the wrong one!

This plus the dumb unnecessary helmet to helmet shot on Shakir was why Poyer leaving didn’t bother me at all as it was time. He was an amazing player who played his butt off for Buffalo but he’s at the end of the road and the Bills were smart to build for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 "It's better to get rid of guys a year early than a year late." This offseason epitomized this philosophy and I'm so happy we have a Front Office staff who gets it. Hyde, Poyer, Tre, Morse, shoot ... might even add Diggs in there considering we still got a 2nd rounder for him. Beane gets it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletha Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I liked the play where Allen held him with his eyes and then threw a laser to Shakir in the middle of the field. Gave Poyer a real taste of what its like to play against Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syhuang Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Just realize Poyer didn't even shake hands with his former teammates played together in last few years after last night's game...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 It's why I didn't think losing Poyer or Hyde was a lost. I'll miss their minds but their bodies are starting to fail them in the NFL. I saw the last two years Poyer taking the wrong angles. The game against the Titans (where Allen slipped on the last play) the Bills were up 6-0 or something and Derrick Henry had a long run and it was all set up by Poyer not having the proper angle. Since then it's just been in my head that he just lost a half step and that turned him from an elite Safety to a below to average Safety imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His angle-finder is solving for solutions his legs can no longer execute 7 hours ago, Nuncha said: Poyer clearly lost a step, you could see it last year. Nice to see Cook outrun him for a score. To be fair, though, I think I read that Cook's speed was >20 mph on that run - even a young Poyer woulda had trouble with that 51 minutes ago, syhuang said: Just realize Poyer didn't even shake hands with his former teammates played together in last few years after last night's game......

shane nelson Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 His game is now based on experience and wisdom vs. skills and speed. He served us very well. Probably a Wall of Famer one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 9 hours ago, Billzgobowlin said: Let's be clear the only reason Hyde isn't playing yet this year is because of health concerns. This dialogue that Hyde has lost a step is crazy. We’ll agree to disagree as he was beat more times than once the last year when playing. I loved Micah, but he’s in his 30’s and they start losing their legs. His head was his best asset as he’s one of smartest Safeties in the NFL the last 10 years.

Malazan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 1 hour ago, syhuang said: Just realize Poyer didn't even shake hands with his former teammates played together in last few years after last night's game...... BS. Poyer went right to the locker room to find his current teammate who suffered a major injury in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 His loss of foot speed, makes it appear that he took a bad angle. A player with good game speed probably had enough of an angle to push Cook out of bounds. We saw this a lot last season and that is the main reason that the Bills moved on.

The difference is that there’s not the same animosity with Poyer as there was with Thurman. If you listen to Thurman these days he’ll say he signed with Miami to spite Buffalo. I think for Poyer it was more about playing in his hometown of Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
