Phillip Tanner? Well that's the absolute least exciting move they could have made at RB.
9 rushing attempts for 12 yds last year. Sweet.
Who cares.........Fred will be back in 4 weeks and we have Dixon and Brown to carry the load.Originally Posted by Ed
You think any vet running back will sign here knowing he'll be the odd man out once Fred comes back?

You can call me streetkings
There's no guarantee FJ will be able to perform like he did the rest of the season.
Yeah I doubt he gets any carries this week, but there were definitely a lot more intriguing options than Tanner. But whatever, I'm not crying about it.
I do think any vet RB would sign anywhere if it meant collecting a few game checks. How's not being with a team better? And if CJ goes on IR that opens a roster spot for a RB.
Who's really available? Felix Jones? I don't know who this guy is but as stated by Ed, I'm not upset. We have Brown and Dixon who can shoulder the load while Fred is on the mend.
Bye Bye Brady...
You don't want to see McGahee return?
Half way through the season, I'm not sure who else you expected to be available. He's a body, and nothing more than that.
Tanner will be active. He's special teamer.
Dixon moves full time to RB. I guess Marrone likes his 4 - 5 yard run on 1st downs (no cut, straight ahead pile moving, mind you). Then Brown comes on 2nd down ...

Tanner??? ... is Shaud Williams or Tanard Jackson MIA?
This guy's a beast!
Move over Fred Jackson and Adrian Peterson.
Super Bowl here we come. 11-5 for sure.

The idea that you "won't settle" presumes that you have some kind of control. Delusional thinking at best for a supposed fan of a spectators' sport. Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
Ironically Tanner's collegiate numbers put Brown's to shame.

RB are a dime a dozen...I like what they have even without CJ and Fred.
And the giant, absolute massive flaw in your point is...? Do you even know?
COMING SOON...

Only two bites?
I'm disappointed. I thought there'd be more.
Yes, tell me though to see if we're on the same page?
Funny the double standard routinely applied by fools such as yourselves, routinely.
Funny how douchebags don't realize that they are douchebags.

Apparently they tried to sign Bibbs from Denver's PS also.
