George Wilson looks to be a huge upgrade over whitner already. Bills were smart for not re-signing the talentless freak

a) Save cap space to hopefully spend elsewhere.

b) Get a talented backup into the starting lineup (see Wilson, George).

and c) Get rid of a guy who talks way too much (see Whitner, Donte)

And oh yeah, I’m going to take a whack at this dead horse…
@wcman:
Hooked on Phonics homeboy.

Whitner could not cover anybody and being 1 of 3 players that were up the middle for the 32nd Ranked Defense against the Run from last year shows a little more.

Looks like you had better adjust them reading glasses buddy!! DEFENSE AGAINST THE RUN doesn’t normally mean overall defense Einstein!! Whos the moron now?? lol thanks for the post and showing how much of an illiterate person you really are therefore everybody will continue to pass your posts right on by!

GO BILLS!

The Bills are treading water…5-3 in a 3 way tie for 1st place in arguably the most competitive division in football? Also Whither led in tackles on the 32 ranked defense, that’s really not impressive and he was a pile jumper.

Nope, nothing mentioned about run defense. Just defense, so on top of not knowing how to unlock the cap button, you are also showing you don’t know how to read. Stop showing everyone what a moron you are and give up posting.

So you’re better off without your two leading tacklers from a year ago? Your defensive ranking says otherwise. Getting TO’s doesn’t equal great defense. It equals opportunistic defense and is a big reason why you lose when you don’t get those TO’s. The way the Jets kicked your ass last week, I’d say you are on the way to another playoff free season.

They are treading water and going under it seems. Look if you guys want to dump on your second leading tackler from last year who is now playing really well for another team, that’s your prerogative, but don’t expect others to see it as anything other than sour grapes. I’ve seen the ints Wilson has picked up this year, and he’s been the lucky recipient of a few tipped balls that have come right to him, much like Byrd a couple of years ago. Your defense ranked 24th at the end of last season not 32nd, and it’s worse this season, so it obviously wasn’t Whitner’s fault.

Once Gore gets a bit dinged (as usual) and teams close off that run game, the whole offense falls on the shoulders of Alex Smith. That will be ugly. Anyone that thinks he is actually a top tier NFL QB has not watched a 49er game this year. Harbaugh basically has him on leash and won’t let him throw past 10 yards if that. In several of their wins he was totally invisible. That kind of ridiculous play won’t last much longer even if they have 4 more divisional games.

They are the NFL’s biggest fraud.

Aside from being wrong on who led the Bills in tackles, your wrong about Poz and Whitner’s departures hurting them. Poz and Whitner are BOTH slow, overated, overpaid, they’re replacements are better(Barnett/Wilson), and 99% of Bills fans including me are glad they are gone. You might want to stick to commenting on your own team because all you’ve done so far was waste time out of your day by making senseless points.
The Bills run is not over, it has just started.

Safety plays further off the ball, so when they make most of their tackles the play has already gone for a big gain.

Whitner could not cover anybody and being 1 of 3 players that were up the middle for the 32nd Ranked Defense against the Run from last year shows a little more. They would bring him close to the line and time after time we were gouged for many yards by not only starting running backs but 2nd and 3rd string running backs. If you look this year there are now 3 new faces up the middle and the run defense has been much better. We have given up a good amount of passing yards but when the bills have played good offensive teams that were trailing in games them same offensive teams were forced to throw the ball to catch up!

Whitner and his mediocre play has not been missed in Buffalo and will not be missed in Buffalo. This is a lot like Mr. Willis McGahee a few years back when he bashed Buffalo and we have all seen how that has turned out for McGahee!! A new year and another new team starting out as nothing more than a backup who suddenly found some holes to run the ball after a injury forced Moreno, the starter out for a few games!! Good luck Mr. Whitner and you should probably hope things turn out better for you out in the Bay Area than they did for Mr. Willis McGahee!!!!!!

I like how the Bills’ fans are talking about how they are better off without him. Apparently the 49ers are better off with him, so I guess it’s a win win.

You’re right my bad. He led all NFL DB’s in tackles but was second to LB P0slusny on the Bills. Now it makes even more sense why your defense sucks this year. You let your top two tacklers go. Not a good move at all. Bills have been winning because of their offense and TO’s from the defense, but as we saw last week, when the defense doesn’t luck into ints, they are not very good. Buffalos little run is over.

I think Buffalo is doing just fine without him.

I also want to point out that the guy who replaced him, George Wilson, is having a pro bowl caliber season and already has more INT’s in half a season than Donte had in his entire career in Buffalo.

It would actually be a man bites dog story if Whitner said that he LOVED the Bills and the worst mistake he ever made was signing with the Niners.

But that never happens.
