pimp on da' net

BLANK STARE What else do you expect in a pre-season game from the #1B WR? On what is now a team stacked with weapons #1 RB- Rice, #1A WR- Boldin & Franchise QB-Flacco. Also you stated any veteran DB in the league? Um Huh?Isn't Hall a Veteran, who made the Pro-Bowl the past 2 yrs? Dude there is so much to pick apart with what you stated,I'll just focus on your question about the "love" for Evans. Its not so much the affection of the now departed WR but the dysfunction of an organization that has been in building mode for the past decade+, in a league where good management& cap space = playoffs eg, San Diego,Saint, Patriots & New England (west)- Chief's. The idea of tearing down a WR who's talents was respected by every defense in the league and replacing with an unknown quality (this isn't a farm team) is beyond absurd and bordering the ridiculous.But for a fan-base (some) to continue to drink the kool-aid of the OBD spin and continue to believe that Evans was the problem and not a by-product of an organization that refused to compliment his talents are foolish, to say the least. I know this fan base likes to hunker down at times to defend OBD but please take the blinders off.In the words of Bill Polian when asked about not signing key players during the SB days, " you don't build a winner by getting rid of your best players." Best of luck Lee you are a class act and under appreciate by some. Good luck Stevie, I hope last year wasn't a fluke because once that ink dries on that extension your in the cross-hairs of some.

And catch the ball, he makes the play...

LOL... i just love when I see this statement, SMH.The issue is as a coach (which I've been for years) Its hard to imagine how you don't incorporate a talent like that in your offensive plans? With that type of speed you use to your advantage...case in point, note the first couple of short passes to Lee set-up the deep ball. This notion of he only goes for the deep ball is BOLOGNA.

Who needs him he can only catch the deep ball...Just wait Stevie J hopefully last year wasn't because of him because the fanatics will be planning a lynch-mob after you once the ink dries on your extension. I can hear it now..."Defenses are over-playing him","he can't stretch the defense" And the saga continues...

Ahhh...never thought of the spicy chicken wings before a flight, LOL. Good point!!!

Very true. I still rem the look on Nix's face while being interviewed at Prior before the charter flight after the annoucement of the Evans trade...very telling. Theres truly no explaination for the trade at that time except for cost cutting and Nix tried to spin it but the expression on his face, told it all. I know their paid well but I really feel bad for he & Chan because they're literally p@ssing in the wind.

NICE TRY...In a couple of year insert blank GM & Head Coach and we'll hear the same mumble jumble. Just for sh*t's and giggles, the Bills front office. Whatcha think who's accountable for this mess. http://www.buffalobills.com/about-us/front-office.html

What he said ^^^^^

I must admit their doing a helluva job...i might add.

I know its a defense mechanism for fan to defend the decision from OBD but history tells us different. We've seen post of the ineptitude of this organization spelled out many times on this very site...I really chuckle at times when fans drink the kool-aid that's spewd from OBD. OBD seems to resist the fact of ever building around the limited talent on-hand or need I ask/demand that they acquire a bonafide nfl talent to compliment said talent. They gets a pass from fan outrage because Ralph has us by the short & curly's and know that if we stop supporting his bumbling front office decisions and demand accountability he'll sell the team. I just don't see how they can continue to sell the idea of not competing against bigger markets with revenue from TO & continued savings from being on the low end of the cap. I don't have a problem with cash to the cap model because other teams employ that tactic ie. NE, Tampa & KC. 2 of the 3 made the playoff and the other won 9 gms. So IMHO its not the concept but the evaluators and decision makers who needs to be accountable to the fan base.

Good point.Lets just hope with a bigger more physical DL it'll protect the LB's & keep them clean.

What a LOSER's mentality...why do you want me too strap up and try-out, my day has come & gone. But I'm still 6'2" 235 lbs not far off from my college ball days, the issue is with keeping OBD honest with their approach to building the team and not constantly drinking the kool-aid.

What he said ^^^^^

NO !!!! HOW BOUT WE DEMAND MORE FROM THEM ???

Maybe their here because they have grown up a Bills fan and want their time to resemble an adequate organization as opposed to the laughing stock of the league.I never thought id get to the point where the Bills are just a team from my hometown and I really don't expect much from them. PTR you propose picking a new team. What about more of a demand from the fan base to OBD for quality NFL caliber players & developement? This is a con game and they continue to take the money and run.

Some how this sums up the pathetic organization from top down. Insert said player and wait til next year...have we really come to this conclusion? Keep rotating the coals like this is some farm/ Triple A system, I guess if we continue to support this turd. Its gonna continue to smell FOUL!!! What salary saving??? Their 20 mil below the cap...this is a con game & the fan base needs to demand more from OBD.

"DON'T CROSS THE MOATS!!!"

CG sez he can't discuss about posible FA's until 1800 hrs Friday July 29,2011. Good re-cap. I was listening also...

This is funny on so many levels...LOL. I too say pass on this one. He's just a name you know at this point in his career.

Your missing my point, I recgonize each skill set. My reference is to overpaying the RT in relation to the LT (see L Walker & J Peters contracts)usually the LT is the highest paid member of the OL, im not referring to them switching positions (although D Bell can make the switch). With Fitz seeming to have a level of comfort in the spread formation, it seems pass blocking is valued more. So IMO overpaying for a starting LT will offer more value & flexibility for this team or atleast a Tackle that has the upside to playing the blind-side...

I do agree with the premise that the Bills will likely have to over-pay but wouldn't it be better to overpay someone to play left tackle and play D Bell at RT? Since Claybo doesn't have the skill-set for LT, thus over-paying him is gonna cause slotting (contractual) with the LT...rem L. Walker and J Peters a few years ago?

"BRILLIANT" and a BIG THANK YOU!!! A very cynical fan-base...trashing management before FA even begins. How bout a link next time CB referenced, he didn't post on his website so the info is in question (I wouldn't be surprised but I'll atleast hold judgement...)

I tried to answer some of your queries above ^^^^I'm done with this topic, can we agree to disagree? Lets let the season play out & see what CJ does in his 2nd yr with CG.

Look IMHO CJ will be one of those backs that will frustrate you during most games and then BAM! he'll take it to the house... using his collegiate performance as my basis is how I come to this conclusion. And I will not use his injured rookie year as a guide to future success in this league.
