Comments on: Bills give Brian Moorman the boot http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/25/bills-give-brian-moorman-the-boot/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:09:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: billsboy88 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/25/bills-give-brian-moorman-the-boot/#comment-2023587 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:03:28 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1316926#comment-2023587 No one ever said the Bills couldnt survive without moorman. The point is that he was our longest tenured player who has had a very solid career and had done nothing to warrant his release.

Prior to today, the Bills had 2 kickers (one a vet and the other a rookie) and a punter on their roster. Now we have the same 2 kickers and a rookie punter. Releasing Moorman just doesnt make a ton of sense on the surface. Someone at 1 Bills dr. knows something we don’t.

If the Bills fans are this much up in arms over the release of their punter (who many fans here say is their best player), then I’d say that team is sinking fast anyway. “A fan favorite”? Wow. I’ve never even heard of him. Yes, how will the Bills ever survive without him?!

Buddy nix won’t hesitate to cut someone that isn’t cutting it. I feel it is refreshing that the new bills regime are always looking for ways to improve the team :-)

If this was jaurons bills trent would still be starting and the bills would still be playing the cover none defense !!!
Go bills and brian you will be missed!!

You’d expect Andy to like the opportunity to pick up a Moorman!

Veteran tailback Fred Jackson said via Twitter, “WTF??? Released Mooreman??? For What??“

Yeah, Jackson was so upset that he spelled the guy’s name wrong.

That and the fact of his age, and Powell’s age and potential. Nix and Gailey preach they look to upgrade every position and nobody’s job is 100% safe. I think they felt it was time to move on, but its true this isn’t going to be popular at all with the fans nor the locker room.

He absolutely boomed a punt last week and has been an all-around great rep of the Bills. Fred’s right. For what??

1. Brian Moorman has been the Bills best player for about a decade. Sad to see you go.

2. The punter has been the Bills best player for about a decade. Explains a lot.

He does a lot of work in the community, for example, helping cheer up the children at Roswell Park cancer institute. People around here are talking about his release from the team in hushed whispers in a state of shock. It’s like he’s been shot or something, I kid you not. I don’t know why he’s been released, but at least it was during the season, so he’ll still get his full pay and should catch on with another team. Brian Moorman was all class and will be missed by the community.

Didn’t realize his job was in jeopardy…Figure someone will want to upgrade this position.

Did they suddenly decide that Motorman has been cursing the team and keeping them from reaching the playoffs all this time??? He has been one of their best players for many, many years.

The move WILL be an unpopular move with the fanbase too!! I for one think that this move was a weak decision. Moorman is not only one of the greatest Punters in the league, he is a fan favorite. One of the most beloved Buffalo Bills of all time. Shame on you Buddy Nix for this terrible decision.
