I dont really care much where TO lives or if this is true or just another crap post. Welcome to the board though.

Bills- 34
Cheats- 17

If the player has the talent he will eventually start or be key backup.
You certainly can not build a team in free agency or from the waiver wire.
I call em as I see em and I believe this draft will be the cornerstone to the playoffs
Wait till next year, I will be more then happy to trash the Bills draft (lol)
Sorry, not this year!
I agree, however no matter how things play out this year. I feel that the very same players that you pointed out to start will all be starters by next season. IMO that makes this a pretty darn good draft. Some can say its because they are replacing crap and they are not that good themselves. I disagree. Time will tell. Unfortunately we will not know how great or busty this draft was for at least 2 or 3 years.

That Monday Night game against the Cowboys still hurts

Any knowledgeable football fan can understand that you dont draft a guy high in the second round at a position that you plan on moving your high priced SS to when you have other holes that need to be filled
this team is still weak at DE and with Schobel a question mark coming back from injury and their overall weak pass rush Everette Brown would have been the better pick and a steal in the second round
We can all stop arguing with Max. He obviously loved Everett Brown and will stop at nothing to stroke the mans epeen.
Last point Max. They picked up Maybin(who you prolly didnt like because you love Brown so much) and addressed their DL need. They still have Kelsey, Schobel, Ellis and Johnson(plays both DE and DT) and are all costing them alot of money on top of the huge salary your going to have to pay Maybin this year. They obviously thought at least one of three things...
-Either they already have too much money tied up in the DL
-They feel that Byrd was obviously a much better player than Brown
-They feel that Schobel will be back to form, and are content with Kelsey, Ellis and Johnson backing up
Please get over the Everett Brown man crush. We didnt draft him.

Saying that a player "sucks" as compared to calling him a "pansy" are two different things. One questions his ability, the other questions his toughness. There are plenty of NFL players who lack the ability to play in the league. There are few that lack the toughness. About the only position that qualifies as lacking the toughness might be some highly athletic cornerbacks that will just not play the physical game that is the NFL. Even they are tough. I will buy some NFL Qb's are not as tough as others, but calling them a pansy is way over the line.
Can someone change the post to the least manly QB's in the NFL compared to their peers?!?
That title just rings

I think he's commenting on the fact that you don't have respect for a guy who's kicked your teams butt up and down the field the entire decade. You don't have to like him but the guy's body of work speaks for itself.
Kind of like how Kelly destroyed the Pats in the late 80's and early 90's?
-
Though it still hurts, it doesn't really hurt coming from a Bill's fan. That loss still haunts me I have dreams where Asante makes that pick, or Thomas plants Eli on the turf. But then I just think of 2001 and its sweetness takes the bitterness of 07 right out of my mouth, and by the time I get to thinking about 03 and 04, 07 is a distant memory, sure it would have been nice to have had the greatest team in history but it doesn't mean I can't still enjoy having been on top of the world 3 times before. We don't have to win another and I'll be content. Thats not to say I'm not hungry for 09 to get here, hell hath no fury like Brady's revenge.
I agree with your take on Brady. The guy is pretty durable and doesnt seem like much of a "pansy" to me. But your take on "greatest team in history"? Dude you must be smoking something. The Cowboys and Steelers have both won more super bowls and won 3 in 4 years. You didnt do anything new. Im not even going to get started on the 49ers of the 80's. And when the Bills were going to the playoffs every year in the late 80's to early 90's the Pats were one of the worst teams in the league. We dominated the AFC for 4 staight years and you might have added to that if Ronnie Harmon didnt drop a sure TD in the Browns playoff game. Time will tell on Brady. I believe the probability of someone coming back from that knee injury the same is not very good however he is a pocket passer and not a RB, or WR. We will see.

To be fair this was years ago. I heard it on WGRZ. My point is the weather in Buffalo is way overblown.
ZOMGGGGG THE WINTER IS 10 MONTHS LONG THERE!!!
Weather can suck everywhere. The people that say Buffalo's weather sucks just don't like the cold.

There are no poles on fire hydrants, at least where I live. I do not know where people get this stuff from.
FYI there are poles on hydrants. I am a volounteer fire fighter and my district has them.

If he said, "No comment," or, "I don't want to discuss that," the press would still write a negative article about it. Heck, one of the articles I read a couple of days ago when he was a camp for kids was critizing him for saying, "I'm not answering any personal questions right now," even though he saved question time for when the press was not around so the kids could ask about him.
Flutie, on the other hand, used to blame everyone on the team for losses except himself.
-
If Donte Whitner was a better player, the coaching staff would be better coaches.

Pro football doesn't. Baseball does -- players are pictured wearing the team cap of their choice on their plaque.
Does that mean that he could technically go in teamless?

This is a very good topic. I myself have been guilty of driving home while severely intoxicated. Im not proud that Ive done it to say the least. I am more than thankful that I have not run into a situation like this. For those that can say they have never driven under the influence I applaud you. Most people cannot say that about themselves.
This is truly a horrible situation for everyone involved. Stallworth is defenately not free of blame and regardless if he spends 1 hour or 100 years in prison he will live with this for the rest of his life. I know that doesnt make it any better.
Im not familiar with the laws of DWI but I dont think everyone is arrested, and we all know that just because you are in an accident doesnt mean anything. What would happen if he were to hit a J-walking pedestrian in the middle of the night and he was completely sober? As weve all seen with ML it means that under the circumstances with rain, snow, fog, night. In this case Stallworth was impaired so that adds to it. We really need to look at similar situations from ordinary cases to find out the punishment. I wouldnt be suprised if some serve many years. At the same time I wouldnt be suprised if they are let off with minimal punishment because of the situation either.
Here is an example of another DWI manslaughter case where the punishment was almost 2 years. He is also famous but about as much success as any ordinary person. At the same time most likely more famous than Donte.

Unlike baseball, the Pro Football HOF doesn't enshrine its inductees as members of a particular team.
Was that doesnt? or does? I dont follow baseball at all and have little knowledge of how NFL players are inducted. NFL players have to pick a team to be inducted with correct? Baseball doesnt?

T.O. Is a good person, it will show up more down the road. He actually may retire a Buffalo Bill if our group comes together.
I think if this is more than a 1 year deal with TO he will retire a Bill. If hes part of the reason the Bills get back into the playoffs and stays on the team for more than 2 years that is a big possibility. He most likely wont go to the Cowboys or Eagles because of their situations so it would be between us and the 49ers.
Is there a rule that a player must retire under a team? Could TO just go into the Hall teamless?
-
I personally will not judge Goodell until Ralph passes and the issues surrounding the Bills' fate are dealt with.
With Goodell being from WNY that means alot.
-
I love Kelly but he is hardly the voice of reason about being a professional. If those guys could have laid off the booze and other stuff for a week, there may be a championship in Buffalo.
True story!!! Even Cornelius Bennett provided this same information in an interview before he went to the Super Bowl as a Falcon. I thank the team for all of those years regardless of winning or not, but they werent exactly good ole church going boys at the time.
At the same time Im not sure if this hasnt been the entire change around the NFL. It seems like the youth of the NFL is starting to care less and less about the game and more about their money, stats, endorsements. And with the Big Money NFL it is allowed. You have owners like Daniel Snyder and Jerry Jones giving away the keys to their franchises to win Super Bowls. Thats great when your talking about great players, but when average players like Bernard Berrian are making over $40M there are issues.
This ties into any Peters thread you read on this board or anywhere else. The guy had nothing. He wouldnt have ever gotten a shot if it wasnt for the Bills and he sits out on the only team that believed in him. If the Bills hadnt picked him up do you really think he would be in the league now?
Unfortunately this may all be part of the demise of the NFL. Your average every day fan is getting tossed out on their asses. They cant afford to go to games anymore in the big market stadiums like Wash, Dal, NYJ, NYG because of seat liscenses. On top of that when we watch at home we have to hear complaints from greedy players wanting raises on contracts that they have previously signed. I understand the whole "NFL teams dont have to honor their contracts why should the players" arguement, but when the player is already making 30 million and wants 60 that is just rediculous. These big time players now days will make more in a year than most of us will make in a lifetime.
The UFL is actually coming in at a perfect time. With a capless year and more and more whinning 300lb babies complaining about money the UFL might be a nice change of pace for true football fans to watch games with the true athletes. The ones that love the game and would play for next to nothing just to continue to play.
Im dont with my rant now that I've gotten completely off topic. Im just saying that Jim is right, unfortunately if you asked any other player in Jims era what they thought of the game now, they would most likely say the same thing. No Heart!!!

another reason why they never won a Super Bowl
Super Bowl IV
Kansas City 23, Minnesota 7

congrats. Like many have already posted. We fully expect him to be drafted up by Jim Kelly(owner of the Bills in 2029) and suplant all of his records as the best QB in Buffalos history.

You have no clue about my thoughts on Donte Whitner. My post talks about the OP. You are an angry person and perhaps should consider medicating yourself with something besides online message boards and facebook.
I think hes just upset that Donte wont add him as a freind. Bitter much? LOL

Just wondering how they are planning to use the guy? Is he being set up to play CB when McGee walks possibly or is he going to play a S spot? He would most likely fit at FS and Whitner is supposed to be starting at that spot from here out. McKelvin #1 CB and Byrd #2 CB in 2010?
I dont know how they will work out the safeties, but I believe you will see McKelvin and Corner at CB(unless Youboty stays healthy) and Whitner and Byrd at S. They could play around with them at either position and see what works best. I think they are going to be a very versitile bunch by the end of the season.

1) Bills fans who spend their entire off-season bashing the team and trying to make others as miserable as they are.
2) The fact that this year's team is forced to deal with a decade of negativity that they had nothing to do with.
Even after my bashing post, I agree. Frustration sucks.

Very good read. I agree with quite a bit of this. I do think even though our OL is younger and unproven it has gotten meaner, nastier and smarter in the middle. The bookends may be better to switch and put Butler at LT and keep Walker at RT. That way we dont really have to worry about the RT spot much. But I dont think Butler can handle the LT job. Time and practice will tell. I especially like what he said about Lynch. Ive been saying this all along. I like Lynch, he just seems too stupid to run any other way than Beast Mode.
"Lynch plays with a reckless abandonment, though often it’s the type of reckless abandonment you see from a guy who hasn’t a clue how to read the field. To be an elite runner, Lynch must become more patient and do a better job of diagnosing defenses."
