Not looking good for you HB51, per schefters remarks in another thread.
The short sightedness and need for immediate gratification of some never ceases to amaze me. It was also reported that a trade for Gaither probably wouldn't take place until much closer to the season. We're in May.

dude, I was pissing myself....every scene the guy is in, his face tells it all! lol I even heard a high pitched squeal come out of him when Jack was throwing him up against the wall
YES, the squeal sent me over the top! It's not a comedy, but I never laughed so hard during a 24 epiode.

The guy who plays Logan deserves an emmy or something...the guy's expressions are KILLING me. Incredibly effective actor and I can't wait to see how this wraps up!
Was I the only one LMAO watching his facial expressions and hearing him scream and whimper like a little schoolgirl? Hilarious!

Well I, for one, give a HUGE F! JP was excited to be in B-lo....he was making the town cool again and he was embracing the area as if it were his own home town. How can you not see the awesomeness in that? I wanted the guy to succeed so bad, and it killed me when he didn't. I get sick and tired of people crapping on the area I grew up in, so when someone comes along and tries to do similarly to what Jim Kelly does, I get excited about that...and you should too!
It's more than just JP. His premise is that ANY player can crap all over the town as long as he produces on the field. I just don't buy it, and for me personally I would not be able to bring myself to root for the guy who is badmouthing Buffalo. And its been played out in many NFL towns that when you cross that boundary as a player, the fans are very unforgiving. So yeah, plenty of people give a F!
-
Exactly what does embracing Buffalo count for? Seriously I hate people who say crap like that. I'm fairly certain Bruce Smith never spent one extra day in Buffalo than he had to and we cheered him all the was to the HOF. Who gives a F if the player likes the city or thinks its a shathole if he can play and win?
I think it means quite a bit. I would find it hard rooting for a guy on my team who openly despised the town he represents. Just ask any number of pro athletes who ran afoul of their hometown teams fans - it didn't play out well for them, so it obviously matters.
-
I know there are some who hang on national media perceptions, so here's an artice that by exclusion actually compliments Buffalo. Where's the respect?!

We are not going to trade away draft picks, especially for someone wanting to renew his contract to the tune of 8-10 mil a year. That is not what a rebuilding franchise does. We dance with the ones we drafted. But I will eat crow if we end up making a deal for him, will you if we don't?
It doesn't have to be Gaither. Jammal Brown would be just fine. We'll all be eating something if we don't address LT this year, and outside of Bell who's in the middle of ACL rehab, where else do we get help from? (and please don't say Wang).
-
You can expect what ever you want, it ain't gonna happen unless some one gets hurt.
Yet another one to be filed away for future hilarity when proved wrong.
-
Yes, I believe it matters. I fully expect a move at LT around the beginning of training camp.
-
Was Leonidas behind this?
-
For those who place any stock in Nawrocki's rankings, he had Coleman ranked above our 6th rounder Batten.
-
A "tightwad" ?? where the hell did you hear this? That's news to me. name your source. sounds like made up BS to me.
No, I'm not naming ****! It's been rehashed many times, and frankly I don't give a rat's ass whether you believe it or not.
-
I think the biggest facor for Schobel is leaving $7M on the table. He has built a reputation as somewhat of a tightwad, so I can see him showing up to collect it. That puts the Bills in a bad position, since I don't think after playing DE his whole career he makes the transition to standing up, but we're on the hook. Not sure what the financials are if we cut him during training camp though. I think the FO prefers he just retires.
-
I would be willing to part with our 2nd if need be and not ONE damn 'we gotta have a LT' person should B word. You want a LT in the high first, if we can get an established one for a 2nd, so be it.
I want to see the trade go down and an extension reached sooner than later so he can get some OTA time in.
YEAH!
-
PFT chimes in, with another tweet from a Ravens insider who hears the same thing.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...-jared-gaither/
Wait a second. We've all been told repeatedly and in no uncertain terms by Thurman#1 that there is no way in hell this is gonna happen, it's impossible, and anyone who thinks it will is an idiot. Thurman#1, your serve.

The level of stupidity in this world amazes me.....
If a chef of a fine restaurant offers to come to your house to cook for you and your family for free, does it make any sense to tell them their food sucks, restaurant sucks, and every person they know sucks? Even if you dont like them, you keep your mouth shut.....this all stems from the parents make excuses for their kids and 12th place trophy generation
Agreed. What a total douche.
Bingo. In fact, when ESPN issued a social-media policy which restricted its employees from participating in unauthorized (read: non-ESPN) blogs, message boards, and other platforms, Tim made the effort to clear his membership here with his editor. Didn't have to do that, either. He could have EASILY said, "Sorry, guys, but they're not going to let me keep doing this," which is what happened with one of their columnists who used to hang out at our writers' board.When I first asked him what he thought about the idea of a pinned thread, he replied, "I would be honored to do it." Only took 15 months for the haters to beat that out of him.
Again, nice job.
Lori, why is he not banned from this site? Why do the !@#$s always win out, and the good people are the ones who leave?
-
he certainly could have sold more tickets
When are people going to realize selling a game ticket is practically meaningless to the owners relative to the other revenue streams they receive to run their business?
-
Eh...it's like an Ashlee Palmer type signing. Don't expect too much.
-
the only concern i have is Wang at LT
Don't be concerned, he won't be on the field this season unless disaster strikes. He's even further away on the developmental project scale than Bell. Unless and until something changes, we're riding Bell's ACL.
-
my source @ the panthers who will remain anonymous, I called him to tell him my theory and he confirmed that goodell has indeed sent out a memo to all 32 teams that TW, "while an intriguing prospect, does not possess the proper moral fiber to be considered eligible for the NFL. He shall not be drafted or signed post-draft by any team without serious penalty"
thats the gist of it, sorry no link though it's supposed to be "confidential" so you wont find it online
I'm calling a big fat BS on this one.
-
Whether Bell is completely healthy or not isn't the real issue. The real issue is whether he is a capable starting LT. In my opinion he still has a long way to go. Last year there were injuries on the line. How much depth do the Bills have at this point? Nix will have to be working the phones to get some relief for this very thin unit.
One other point to keep in mind is that as Bell continues to develop, one of the things he was supposed to be focused on was he needed to continue to improve his strength this offseason. Not sure if his necessary focus on rehab has taken away from his strength conditioning.
-
There you have it. Bell will be the favorite to start even though he's still a work in progress. Specifically uses the word "develop" about Ed Wang, which might possibly maybe lead you to think that he's still, I don't know, developing? In other words, a developmental project. And one who is even behind the developmental project that is Demetrius Bell.
Oh, those quotes are from Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey, you may have heard of them.
Nice use of sarcasm, but we were both saying the same thing - Wang is a developmental prospect, and should not be looked upon as providing any help next year, if ever. What was being asked was for some scouting reports or quotes if you prefer from those who thought Wang was some sort of savior and that he adequately addressed our glaring need at LT. Guess you missed that in your haste to denegrate. But thanks for the quotes supporting the original point being made.
-
That's where you get your information profootballweekly, ha ha ha lol You are a very funny person. Next you'll be basing your Bills GM credentials on sleeping at a Holiday Inn
I get my draft info from Nolan Nawrocki, among others, for varied opinions. In case you didn't know, Nawrocki is pretty well respected since taking over for Joel Buchsbaum and has a proven track record.
But I believe I was asking for other credible scouting reports that would justify the unbdridled optimism for Wang. Since you didn't provide any and instead just attacked, I'll assume you haven't reviewed game tape and have nothing to offer on the matter.
And people wonder why it's so hard to have to sift through the drivel around here and engage in any meaningful football dialogue.

If Lynch DID say that Buffalo is a "bad situation" for him...I DON'T blame him.
Look at how some of you "fans" treat the guy! Look at what he has been through and where he comes from...He has made some mistakes and wants a fair shot at a second chance, and he knows the people of Buffalo won't give it to him!
He might as well start anew somewhere else...with a team and a fanbase that wants him!
First off, Lynch is not being quoted saying Buffalo is a "bad situation" and second, he doesn't get to make the decision to start somewhere else.

Wow, now our rookie pro bowler and runner up DROY must go. Cool, maybe we can start drafting DB's again next year.
