You mean Angelo Crowell?
How far do we bend over to get that guy back?

For a 3rd this year and a 1st next year. Menthion of Wilson really liking him
"Wilson really liking him"??
Remember the last time that happened?
Remember "he reminds me of a Monet...."?
Rob Johnson was that masterpiece.

No tag for Greer. He's a good Cb, but it never ceases to amaze me how teams overpay for this position. How did Bly work out for the Broncos? Clements for the 49ers? Did we suffer without Clements?
It's just not a position that has the impact to justify this crazy money.
Trade him if you can't sign him. How will we be worse off?

I think he's more upset that Fitz is getting more attention than him, which would not be the case here. However, if we had a QB that could hit a WR downfield once in a while....
I don't know what QB is going to give Boldin the kind of attention he apparently needs.
No way he comes here. We haven't had a QB who could hook up with a guy like that since Bledsoe. Forget TE and also JP (we've been desperate so long that his "long bomb" completion numbers are growing to mythic numbers in the minds of some).

I am with you on this. The way some people talk and go the moral high ground you would think they are Mother Teresa or Jesus Christ.
Marshawn has some issues i dont' think anyone here doubts that. I just don't think they are as severe as some people make out. I hate to break it to people but growing up in Buffalo is a whole lot different then growing up poor in Oakland. Most people here have no idea what Inner City life is like. If you don't believe me come to LA and take a stroll through Compton or Watts. I bet you would be somewhat scared and not want to go back there ever again.
I find the NFL is very irresponsible when it comes to players like Marshawn. The NFL expects people to forget the first 20ish years of their life and change over night once they start representing the Shield. It's just not as easy as they think.
The NFL is "very irresponsible"???
These NFL is a BUSINESS. These are EMPLOYEES who make their living because there is a National Football League. This behavior affects the League's brand.
Tell me, if your employer in your 20's gave you a set of rules which you had to comply with to remain employed, and you chose to ignore those rules, you might be fired, no?
And spare us the "these people who grow up in the ghetto---that behavior is all they know, so let's not expect anything else from them" argument. It's poorly disguised racism.

I don't know if Boldin will have any say in where he would go but if so I wonder if Tolbert could have any influence in Boldin's thinking, seeing that their careers crossed in Boldin's first year. We would make a good trade partner for Arizona because we're in a different conference and have great draft positioning. The compensation that we can offer should be better than most other teams out there.
If Boldin is unhappy with all those catches and that yardage on a SB team, you think he's gonna come here? For "Tyke Tolbert'?

Allow me to explain myself:
I am sick of hearing people piss and moan about athletes who get into marginal legal trouble in their free-time. The Marshawn issue is just a small part of it. What's wrong with just wanting these guys to be effective football players, and, short of hurting other citizens, not giving a damn what degree of quality person they are.
And don't give me that "our kids look up to these guys," crap. Give your kids real role models. Would you not let your child watch "Home Improvement," because Tim Allen had been charged with a drunk driving? Would you keep your child from seeing "Iron Man," because Robert Downey Jr. had a problem with drugs?
These guys are football players and, in many cases, a club and loincloth short of being classifiable barbarians. So save the morale high-ground stuff for another aspect of your life -- there certainly are plenty of other avenues for that holier-than-thou line of thought. Let these guys represent us ON the field by doing what they've trained and dreamed of doing for most of their lives: breaking other people's faces.
I'm tired of this franchise (and a portion of its constituency) sacrificing football talent and athletic prowess for "high character" guys. Sure, there's something to be said for guys who are stable and good for locker room morale, but I suspect we have a team full of guys like that already. What we need is a nasty streak. Besides, there are plenty of guys who aren't "high character" but are still great for uniting a team and motivating for a collective goal.
So, please Bills FO, bring in the football talent this off season -- be it free agency or draft. Leave the moral grand-standing for the politicians and televangelists.
Good day, gentlemen; and until that day comes, keep your ear to the grindstone.
This isn't a "nasty streak"---it's a stupidity streak.
Look, I think Lynch is the only guy on this team, bar none, who gives full effort every game day. But he's no rookie. Why can't he be a leader AND be nasty. Who is the leader of this team? Whitner?? Come on!!
-
Weren't we Bills fans counting on those bookend "boy scouts" Schoebel and Kelsay to live up to their new and improved and way over-inflated contracts? Sorry pal, I'd rather have a bad ass like Lynch who gets suspended every now and then, than those two pansies any day of the week. When the hell do we hold those two losers accountable for their two million dollars per sack output????
NFL football players (especially many of the good ones) all have a little crazy in them doing what they do for a living. So YES, I WILL wait until Lynch guns down a day care center with two uzis and a hail of bullets before I put down the pom poms.
You guys are ridiculous with this. You might qualify to be a local sportswriter.
Ladies and Gentlemen.....
Still, your reigning "1billsfan".

It's hialrious that a guy using the "Ron Paul" tag would start a post about "civil rights" and "gun rights". The actual Ron PAul is a Liberterian, or so the Dr. says. And he does feel that Americans should be armed as they see fit......
......so they could protect themselves from urban minorities!
Check out some nuggets From "Ron Paul's Report" from back in the day:
"Violence will fill our cities" with " mostly black welfare recipients feeling justified in stealing from mostly white 'haves'".
"I've urged everyone in my family to know how to provide self dfense, for the animals are coming."
How bout this? When MLK day was made a holiday, he called it "our annual Hate Whitey Day". When some NYC pol suggested renaming the City after King, Paul suggested instead: "Zooville, Rapetown, Dirtburg, and Lazyopolis."
Of the LA riots, his letter claimed "order was only restored in LA when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after the rioting began."
What do you think "Dr. Paul" would have thought of those three young black men smoking weed while driving around an upscale neighborhood with a concealed weapon?
Dude, maybe you should change your name.

This is the big FA "splash" the Bills promised their fans.

Dudes... go to youtube and run a search for Tony Fiammetta. Impressive.
Put up 31 reps of 225lbs... 24 of them in about 23 seconds. Goes about 6'1 240. Can he block, and more importantly, consistently 'blow' up an NFL linebacker?
You want us to go to watch a film of some guy who blows up linebackers lift weights?
Ahh, that's OK. I'm all set.

Here's my problem with the situation. These guys will not sit back and let events unfold. They have to go out and fan the flames against Lynch. Even granting that he's been dumb and immature, does he get a chance to change his behavior? Especially in a case like this where there is no victim? Are these media figures reporting on what happens or shaping the narrative? Frankly I don't know these guys from Adam so the fact that they think Lynch is a bad guy means jack to me.
"Does he get a chance to change his behavior?"
Of course he does! After each transgression, the League, the owner, the cops and guys like you give him another opportunity to "change his behavior".
You're joking, right?
-
Izzo was playing for Miami when that all happened, no?
No, he was with the Pats.
Is the guy above suggesting that Bruschi's stroke was NOT from a cardiac congenital anomaly? That was subsequently repaired?
Wow. The peenis envy at this site is pathological.
-
only if you think its OK for police officers to search the car of 4 people minding their own business and not causing any trouble because they are black and were driving a mercedes benz...
the DA will get absolutely embarrassed in court by Lynch's attorneys if they decide to go to trial...
Wow. Hope the DA reads your post and saves himself the trouble. You seem to know something he does not. Can you share it here?
-
It's very interesting that some rubes are making this some sort of racial inevitability: Lynch is an eternally endangered black man and the Culver City cops are out to get the black man (even though we don't know the race of the cops).
Meanwhile--we note that another Cali boy--Trent Edwards---- made it another week without getting caught in a Mercedes filled with a cannibus cloud and a loaded weapon in the trunk. No, in fact, he, along with Butler, Fowler and Denney are taking advantage of a program sponsored by the NFL through the nation's top business schools to explore entrepreneurial opportunities during and after football.
Go figure.

How did it fail her? There was NO evidence to convict Lynch of anything other than what he got. Hell even the cops were saying that he probably didn't know he hit her. You want to charge him with, what, a felony, even a misdemeanor, because you THINK he was drinking, driving drunk, and knew he hit her, despite no evidence at all to support those claims, and in fact, evidence to the contrary?
And she likely got a nice settlement out of it and Lynch's license was revoked. What did you expect the appropriate pound of flesh to be? What if it were you and not Lynch?
No, after 3 or 4 weeks of not cooperating with a hit and run investigation, there was surprisingly little evidence of possible drunk driving. What was the evidence to the contrary that he was drinking?
What if it were me?
If the cops came to my house and I don't know why---I answer the door and say, "what's up gentlemen?"
If I don't hear the doorbell, and I see the cops towing away my Porsche----I run out into the driveway and say "yo,yo,YO! Where you takin my RIDE?"

Either you can't explain why the author is a fool or you believe that if not everyone agrees with you, they must some how be stupid. I'm not saying you're a fool but if you can't explain your reason the author is a fool then you might be a fool. If it's that simple that we are idiots if we have to ask you why you think the article is foolish, then it should be very easy to explain why you feel that way. Or we can continue to be idiots & you can continue to make statements w/out backing them up with reason other than the theory that you are right & we are idiots for not knowing that you are right with your eternal knowingness.
I challenge anyone to read this really fast three times in a row without falling down in a seizure.

Indeed! You realize Taylor died because all he had to defednd himself from 2 tough guys actually carrying weapons on them and intending to do harm, is a machete?
The question is, where did you come from?
Look, let me put this in a way that both you and your challenged friend beastmode23 might understand.
I have nothing against a man keeping a gun in HIS HOUSE to defend against someone entering HIS HOUSE meaning to do harm to him, his family or his property. If I killed an intruder to save me and mine, I would gladly serve time for my weapons charge.
But (stay with me here, cuz I'm shifting gears a bit), Mr. Lynch was cruising around with two pals with a loaded gun IN THE TRUNK of their car. No one was threatening their good time that night. There were no known death threats made against Mr. Lynch.
By your estimation, we all should be armed at all times, because heck knows we can be attacked---all of us, ANYWHERE, at ANY TIME.
It's like this, boys: the State of California has decided that it is a felony to carry a concealed unlicensed gun. Mr. Lynch, being a native, knows this--yet given the choice (it's a free country) he chose to break the law instead of obeying it. Why would you give a F-ing football player--some dumb jock who laughs at how you have to make a living---a break that you would never be offered?
-
Until something else comes out regarding the facts of the incident, this is exactly what I'm going to believe
Have you considered the possibility that he admitted the gun was his and that's why HE was arrested, Detective Columbo?
-
Culpepper is terrible but then again so is John Kitna, Dan "run out the back of the endzone" Orlovski, Drew Stanton & any other QB that Detroit has played in the past two years.
Other than Megatron is there a single player on that roster that we would realistically want on our team?
Kitna is terrible? Really? He twice threw for over 4000 yards for the truly terrible Lions. When was the last time a Bills QB did that?
Don't scratch a hole in your head.

"Bo Scafie" is on the radar?
-
If the facts meet what Marshawn's lawyer says i highly doubt the DA will try to prosecute. LA cops are notoriously corrupt and if the cops were white will want to avoid the racial boundries.
I have no idea why Marshawn was in Culver City but it isn't a great area. I think Marshawn needs to see a Therapist 3 times a week to try and figure out how he puts himself in these situations.
This diagnosis from his therapist: "typical pro athlete thug poseur: punk subtype".

Minnesota needed extensions to sell out their playoff game. They are one of the smallest of the small market teams, and I wouldn't be surprised if Zygi Wilf moved if he can't get a stadium built soon.
Qualcomm Stadium is the fourth oldest stadium in the league behind Lambeau, Oakland-Alameda, and Candlestick. Both Lambeau and O-A have received plenty of upgrades since being built.
Jacksonville, prospective new owners of Buffalo, and Minnesota are the teams to consider. San Diego could move up the road I suppose. I don't see the Saints moving anytime soon.
If Wilf moves to LA, what does the guy who builds the stadium do? How does he get his money back if he doesn't own the team that moves into his stadium--from rent? Who gets the PSL and suite money? How does the league divide the gate?
Doesn't Jax have a lease on the stadium they currently play in?
The next owner of the Bills is screwed. In addition to the silly money they will have to scrape up for this mess, they will have to pay the league a moving fee.

This has nothing to do withthe CBA. It's just GMs making the same dumb mistake over and over. The CB position just isn't worth that kind of money. It has been proven each time a CB has been given such a huge chunk of change.
You're right--can't trade him now.
