C-zone Umpa

First off by law once a company says they cannot afford something, reference it, or imply it they have to show them the books. It is a matter law of National Labor Relations Board. If every business in the midst of labor was taken at face value because they said they couldn't afford anything there would be no economic impact on a union negotiating wages and benefits. It would be a futile effort. Every business owner has that "F the employees and their demands" attituded when it comes to a negotiating and they are entitled to that sentiment to a point but this NFL vs NFLPA is a totally differnt scenario. They are not demanding more money for their pockets; they are fighting for better health coverage into retirement. Say you are a construction worker and you fall off scaffolding and break your back. Your care for that injury and all expenses related to it are covered by that employer's compensation insurance. It is not so for NFL players after their career in a highly physical field. They are responsible for it forever. What makes absolutely no sense to me is the decert of the union. As far as I know, from my experience as a union president in the state of NY, once a group decerifies it's union in an open period (during negotiations or 2 yrs after ratification of a CBA)it must remain without a union for at least one year. The latest move by the NFLPA is mind boggling. There is nothing compeling the owners to come to the table, they can lock them, hell there is no CBA in place so they could strike. When negotiating a No Strike/No Lockout clause goes hand in hand. Both parties agree to do neither. And, to boot, they would not be able to seek representation for a year unless the owner. Technically they could say...Screw it we are having an 18 game season, we are not going to honor any contracta with players (barring any MOU, agreement or contract exceeds the CBA) They can't just implement an 18 game season because they wanted to over the last 5 years because it is a change to working conditions, also negated by labor law. I am baffled here, they ALL stand to lose a lot of money due to a lock out or strike.

I wouldn't let him clean my toilet. I dont care how nice he is............he set this team back 5 yrs. I loathe him. Orakpo.....thats all I have to say. Break Dont Bend #$$hole!! God I cannot stand him.

AMEN Im glad he wants to leave. He is a liability in coverage and good for at least one penalty a game but closer to two. Bye Bye They shoulda never let Jabari Greer go. But that was that twit Jauron.

But we have Aaron Maybin with all his experience and self percieved strength...LOL...I loathe him.....again Brian Orakpo!! All joking aside I like all three DEs!! I think we stop the run our secondary can actually play and not worry bout the run. Find a good RT and we are in business. The QB can wait another year.

Id treat him like Mike Vick treated dogs!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot stand his smug hollier than thou attitude. But, I guess when you win & you are good you can do that.

He may be overpaid in my proposed position but I think he could shovel the stands from here on out, clean up the lots after games, help sell Coors Light, or do the teams laundry. I must say he is the WORST draft pick in NFL history. I cannot think of any other 1st round blunder than him. Jauron should be seen by a psychiatrist. Brian Orakpo......OMFG......Brian Orakpo...............and we have Maybin walkin after every play like his lats dont allow his arms to fall. What a tool!

Never before have I seen more postive attn given to a 2-9 team. A lot has come out of this season that we didn't expect. With Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson, Freddy J, and Fitz getting the majority of the attn I think we all need to be pretty damn pleased with D-Bell. I may be wrong and cannot seem to find any stats online but I do not believe he has allowed a sack this year!! I think this is a huge step in the rebuilding process. As pessimistic as I was at the beginning of the year I must say that Buddy was right, we are not that far off! Go Bills!!

NO NO & NO................we just signed a local kid off the streets to play RB because of the injuries. Why in God's name would we trade Spiller???

UHHHHHHHHHHHH the Vikings just cut him so therefore the Bills have first crack at him.

HES A FRIGGIN ROOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hes a guy that imposed his will at will in college..............there is going to be a huge change he needs to get used to! Give him a break hes made one bad play!!

Ya his job has been to &%#$ UP the team for many years. It amazes me that he is still employed here.

Apparently because in the Miami game we were asked to leave because we were "too negative". We weren't drunk, or belligerent; we were too negative. I guess everyone seriously believes that a miracle will occur and talent will be infused on the field or something. I want Ralph to refund my money.

Pick me I wana be the free safety........Ill stay on the field all game too. BTW I'm 5'8" 220lbs..........i can get burned every play too.

Well we were asked politely to leave by security because we were too "negative"!!!!!!!!!! I love new season tix holders and one game a yr ppl that show up and think its the damn SB............the game was horrible yesterday. Sorry everyone around is content and not outraged w/ that. This is our third yr w/ season tix and I am tired of paying HARD earned money for filet mignon and getting steak-ums. Now, I am sure it was annoying to hear negativity but this is where the FO has put the fans; disgusted and frustrated.
