No draft pick, free agent or guy off the street with some skills is ever heard from again once their plane touches down in the city of Buffalo. I’m starting to think the real Bermuda Triangle is in upstate and only applies to the Bills roster.

As to losing Poz, he’s a good LB when healthy but he KILLED us in pass coverage, especially on third down. How many times did you see Poz give up a first down and then tackle the guy from behind?

If the Bills front office thinks this move will excite anyone other than Gailey they are wrong.
They lost Pozlusny today. He was average but somewhat solid with zero talent around him.
I hope they add some decent free agents or it is a clear indication that they have no interest in getting better or selling tickets, only making money and turning fans off to the point we stop going and then they can cite poor support when they make plans to leave.
What was once the best run operation in the NFL is bottom 3 for a decade plus….
Bills fans deserve better.

LMAO but he’s fun to watch.

Really?

It’s kinda sad. Miami picks up whatever Dallas leaves behind, Bills do the same for Miami. At least it’s environmentally friendly! Haha.

Fitz has mobility that covered up for the deficiencies of the Bills line. Brohm does not. And it wasn’t the same line. Erik Pears and Chad Rinehart both started that game against the Jets.

Brohm got murdered out there. He didn’t have a shot. The two interceptions I saw were as a result of getting hit as he was throwing. The third? I wouldn’t know, turned off that game after the third quarter.

When he had a clean pocket, Brohm looked good. His first pass was a dart to Stevie Johnson and had Stevie not fumbled it, it probably would’ve led to points.

Jets defensive line dominated the Bills. I’m not saying Brohm is good but, anyone who watched the Jets game would tell you Brohm didn’t have a chance out there.

I hope he gets another shot next year , it won’t be in Buffalo though.

Another loser ass qb joining a loser ass team. Sorry bills fans nothing personal. Why doesn’t the front office up in buffalo step it up and bring in hasslebeck? Just saying. Maybe mcnabb or somebody that’s not to much of a loser? Just saying

Looked good when he had time in the pocket against the Jets in week 17. Box score scouting ftl.

I’ve watched every snap Brohm’s had as an NFL starter, he’s awful. And it’s relatively fair to assess his performance using the box scores considering Fitzpatrick played behind the same line the whole year and did fine.

======================

You wait and see, Devlin will start by midseason and lead Miami into the playoffs. In my dreams…

Pft I know your busy so I’m adding a mention of a story I want to read your take on. What do you guys know? Still just for show or is there a real chance he’s back to big blue?

Definitely has a unique skill set and is fun to watch. He isn’t going to start, but at least he has a job.

However, it seemed obvious for a while now that he’d be in Buffalo next year.

He was really good with Gailey as his OC in KC, and we don’t need to worry about Brohm ever playing a snap now.
