  1. Sorry but I couldn't care less. The mob here got a dose of reality last night and now they have to start dealing with it. It's ok to talk frankly about our "flawed" team. It's actually a healthy thing to do.

     

    Sometimes I wonder why people intentionally do things that will obviously have a negative result. How for example has 1billsfan posted here thousands of times when he is universally hated? Is there a reason you come here to be negative? You could have said the SAME thing you said in your post, but not come off as a pompous moron. For example: JP looked fairly good in the passing game, while Trent played poorly, why aren't we talking QB controversy? I encourage people to put 1bilssfan on their ignore list. Unless, that is, you enjoy freaking out when he makes his normal imbecile comments.

  2. Just so I get this straight. You can get upset that we haven't paid him more, which is in itself irrelevant. But when people get annoyed that he isn't at work, you tell them to calm down? Employ some consistency. Does he deserve more money? Sure. Is he at work? No. One thing is certain, fans are excited about this team now and as such are more likely yo side with the FO because they dont want anyone screwing up the season. bad time for a holdout. I wonder how much his jersey sales will decline?

  3. Top 5, I agree. But he has THREE YEARS LEFT on his contract. What kind of leverage does he think he has? I won't play for you? It's not like he's going to become an UFA. Plus, if he doesn't report he's stuck here for an extra year or 2. The FO doesn't HAVE to trade him OR extend him. At least if he came to camp he would garner good will, which would make the FO WANT him around.

  4. I'm tired of hearing players are underpaid. When players like Kelsay get big contracts and then underperform management doesn't get to renegotiate and recoup the money they overspent. Similarly, if every player on the team were paid exactly what they were worth, every team in the NFL would be way over the salary cap or else mediocre. This is a free market and players get paid according to their perceived value and the contracts they sign. Jason could have waited another year to renegotiate after securing a starting position and then cashed in on his pro bowl card. But no, he renegotiated when he held less value. Tough schitt. He wants a new contract, fine. But go do your damn job and ask for the new deal quietly.

  5. They got rid of an aging concussion plagued LB, got paid nicely for a senior DE who really is thinking more about life outside of football and had a tremendous influx of young players thru the draft. Yeah, the Dolphins are making all the wrong moves.

     

    They added a WR in Ernest Wilford that just about everyone around here pined for, TEs Sean Ryan and Anthony Fasano, a few other good WRs in Greg Camarillo, Derek Hagan and Ted Ginn Jr who is a flat out speed demon. The backfield has Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Their OL is vastly improved from 3, 4 years ago with an addition like Justin Smiley and a few young veterans like Vernon Carey and Samson Satele. Then they have some guys on defense like DEs Mat Roth and Vonnie Holliday, DT Randy Starks and I'd even throw in Joey Porter as someone who we should pay attention to.

     

    I'm not going thru the whole roster to justify and I don't know where you live but I'm less than 200 miles from Miami and so far in camp DE Phillip Merling flat out hammered Ricky Williams. Oh yeah, the guy is a player.

     

    So, keep insulting me if that makes you feel better but I wonder just how much you really do know about football.

     

     

    So........ 3-13?

  6. Well said, Bill. I am firmly in Peters' corner since he is grossly underpaid even on his own offensive line, much less compared to other pro bowl type left tackles around the NFL. So fine, Ralph and his new guy Russ can talk up the company line and act as if no other decent player in NFL history has had the audacity to hold out from training camp while under contract. Peters has not established himself as a consistent star yet, so Ralph and Russ have a lot of support.

     

    But it makes no sense not to reach out to Peters when your only other viable option is to switch average right tackle and grossly overpaid Walker to left tackle, and replace him with.......nobody. And I mean nobody. You have Kirk Chambers (who?), and a couple of young kids nobody knows anything about to start at right tackle. Oh wait, the Bills did draft a tackle this past April. Some kid in the 7th round, right? I'm sure he's ready to start at right tackle after all, he is the son of Karl Malone, right?

     

    And why are the Bills wasting valuable time and practices doing nothing about this problem? If they won't deal with Peters while he holds out, why isn't Walker already starting at left tackle in practice now? And why haven't they tried to trade for a decent tackle yet? They are all cockly about blowing off Peters, yet they can't be delsuional enough to think they can replace him with their current roster and still have any chance of making the playoffs, can they?

     

    That's it, pay the man. Nevermind the fact he is coming off surgery and NO one has seen him on the field after the surgery. Let's pay him eleventy billion dollars a season, cause it's not us paying his salary. I wouldn't waste a cent on Peters until he shows 1- he is healthy and can play at the same level and 2- he's not an ingrate like Willis. Why do I compare the 2? Because we took a huge chance on Willis, giving him good money, let him sit out a year and he turns around and takes a dump on the city. Peters signed as an UDFA TE, was taught how to play tackle and developed into a good player, then EXTENDED to reward him when he performed well. I have nothing against a new contract for him, but he should show some class and show up to camp for the team that turned him into what he is. And don't bother to tell me he would have done the same anywhere else, cause there's not another team in the league who had a good O-Line coach to teach him technique AND would have bothered to give him more than a look at playing LT.

  7. Crows gone. Very average NFL linebacker, that we as fans tend to always overrate our own guys. We signed mitch and drafted poz. Crow will not be here next year, unless he signs a very cap friendly contract (read under 1.5 million per).

     

    <1.5? are you drunk? He's 10x the player Kelsay is and they gave Kelsay the moon. They'll re-sign him for just under 3ish
