Can someone explain to me why we let Gillislee go to the Pats?

[CommissarSpartacus]

I haven't been paying much attention this year, but one of the things that caught my eye was Gillislee leaving.

The guy is terrific and played great with the Bills.

I have him on my FF team.

Don't you have to ask yourself "what did we just do?" when BB and the Pats happily pick up guys we let go?

How many SBs has Belichick won?

How many have we won?

Didn't fit our system...I guess.

That's used quite a bit.

JUST TRUST THE PROCESS

Easy answer is that we're an incompetent organization top to bottom.

The Bills will find his replacement. And Gillislee is basically a replacement for Blount.

The astonishing thing is that it was the SAME EXACT SITUATION with Hogan the year before. A normal, rational person who watched any NFL football at all would've learned their lesson and tendered Gillislee (the most efficient RB in the NFL last year) with a 2nd round pick. The Bills did not learn that lesson. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but -- I tell ya -- sometimes I think this team is trying to be awful on purpose.

We have a running QB that can't pass over the middle in a pocket passer offensive scheme, it's crazy.

His name is Rainman, aka Whaley.

I got destroyed on this board when I criticized the move at the time...

Hogan may be understandable, Gilly is not. It was easy to protect Gilly and his numbers were excellent in short yardage, good in pass pro, and found the end zone. No excuse, we all knew it was a bad move, way worse than Hogan. Hogan has done nothing tonight, Gilly working the load though.

Gillelee is a back up here. Your don't pay a back up what the Pats paid him.

Yeah, it's so much better going into the season with no legit backup to McCoy over $300k.

How many ex-Bills have the Pats put super bowl rings on?

Antowain Smith
Chris Hogan
Alan Branch

This year probably adds
Stephon Gilmore
Mike Gillislee

How about Al Michaels trolling the Bills. Patriots have better Bills than the Bills!

you're arguing with yourself again. In thought rbs are a dime a dozen, if we matched what NE paid him, how much would we have $ tied on that position? Gillislee is a cheap no.1 rb for the Pats but would've been an expensive no.2 here and you'd be whining if we paid a back up rb what NE pays him
