Jet Nut Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Very nice of you, but there's no happy ending to all of this for Bills fans, I'm afraid. Until Rex gets fired 3-4 years from now, that is. But they'll have a lot of the "nobody wants to play us" type quotes to fondly remember. And ownership will have pocketed the extra ST money he drummed up initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaniec Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Part of sports today, players are going to get cut, especially if cap money is involved. Would be nice if only the players we don't care about got cut but it doesn't work that way. I feel for you but nothing you can do I agree Jet Nut. I thik it was more than money though. They didn't even approach him about revising his contract. If they did, I think he would still be here. I am pretty sure Whaley wanted him gone right along. Rex may have wanted the same. Don't really know. I'll feel much better when and if he lands on a good team (like the Seahawks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just liked he younger backs better moving forward.

Savage69 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 regardless of who made the call, it's pretty clear that it was Rex's doing that this "rogue" business got to the press to take the heat off of him. Pretty cowardly, but typical. Yep just like Rex wanted Revis and Cro gone in 2013.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 No WAY After the Bills cut running back Fred Jackson this week, Tim Graham of the Buffalo Newsreported that General Manager Doug Whaley “went rogue” on the decision to part ways with the longtime member of the team and never entertained the idea of a pay cut that would have made Jackson a more affordable piece for the team to hold onto going into the season. On Thursday, Whaley answered questions about that report. He said the decision to release Jackson “wasn’t an easy one” and that it wasn’t one that he made by breaking off from the rest of the organization. “Let’s put it this way,” Whaley said, via the Buffalo News. “I gather information from everybody, from the running backs coach to the offensive coordinator to the head coach and the owners. I wouldn’t be in this position — especially with new ownership — I’m going to include them. That’s my boss. We wouldn’t make a decision without them.” Whaley said coach Rex Ryan was with him when they informed Jackson of his release, but declined to delve into the reasons behind the decision other than saying it was one the team felt it “had to make.” Jackson, who accused Whaley of being dishonest with him about his status on the team, visited with the Seahawks this week, but hasn’t signed a contract in Seattle or anywhere else.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Shady tweaked his hamstring again in practice this week, yet the Bills are likely still sending him out there this week. Yep, that's exactly how you handle that situation. Here's what Anthony Lynn said: Bills running back coach Anthony Lynn seemed to indicated McCoy (hamstring) will be able to play this week against the Patriots, Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News reports. Said Lynn, "When we get him going, we know what he can do. ... It's still a little sore, but he'll be fine." Lynn also said they may have pushed McCoy too hard in the first week following several weeks on the shelf. Regarding the bold.....ya think, Coach Lynn? 17 carries and 3 catches out of the backfield on a bum hamstring last week. They're gonna destroy him.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Isn't that what you are supposed to do with overpriced running backs? Not sure if you're joking or not but no, its not. This is Week 2 and the coaching staff is treating the game like its the playoffs. And its counterproductive on top of that. Shady had one of the worst games of his career last week on that bum hamstring. Shut him down for at least a week and let him get fully healed. Otherwise this will be a lingering problem for a large chunk of the season. But hey, I have no problem with them ruining their biggest offseason acquisition this early in the season. It'll be that much easier to write them off as a Wild Card contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Rex Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Not at all worried about the freaking Bills, its the Dolphins that will pose a greater threat. I can see them giving the Pats a run for the division. Tannehill is a choker par excellence and the Bills have the gigantic anchor for the prevention of winning in Rex Ryan. I do hope Buffalo beats NE this week. As I have said often, I have 2 favorite teams, the Jets and ANYBODY that beats the Patriots. If the Bills don't beat them I hope at least they fracture a few of "exonerated" Tom Brady's bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
