Yea
Please stop!!

What he said. Scout.com sucks. Let's stop posting every guess and speculation about when Peters will report and just wait until it happens.
It's going to be a long wait. I thought he would be in this week and not miss a game. I was way off! I don't expect him back for a long time if at all. I still don't see the Bills trading him. He will sit forever.

The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? When did this happen? Recently? Damn those kraut bastards, kill them all!
Young kids. Youth is wasted on the young.

What has he done in his career for you to say that?

If we make the Playoffs this year I'd give most of the credit to the law of averages since we are tied at 2nd with Detroit for longest playoff drought with only Arizona going longer.
That's because the law of averages wins games.

True, which kinda reinforces my point, right? We have always been successful when we take the best players we can find, regardless of pedigree. This started with Bill Polian taking Bruce Smith and Andre Reed. Don't forget, the majority of experts said we were nuts for taking Smith, and they had no idea who Reed was. We picked up Tasker off of the waiver wire and we traded a lot for Bennett.
These weren't the most popular moves, in fact they were ridiculed, but oh how the "mighty" fell once they hit the field. I see similar thinking being reintroduced the last 3 years, and it's working, again. The biggest thing you get when you take a player from a not-so-big school? Great attitude and lots of hustle right off the bat.
Steve Johnson is setting himself up to be a steal, so is Fine, Corner, Bell, Ellis...the list goes on.
Bruce was pretty much a consensus No.1 and the trade for Bennett was far from ridiculed.

your not a war time consiglieri tom. your out.
Maybe I can help.

I read Edwards first sentence as sticking up for the guys he's playing behind right now. Perhaps I editoralized a bit, but, he is supporting the players who are there.
And yes, when Peters returns all will be well and he will be welcomed into the locker room.
Now...unless Peters reports this is my very last post in one of his many threads.
On to Seattle!!!!!
That's what I keep saying but I continue to get pulled back in!

I was watching ESPN this morning and they had a "more or less" session about the AFC East. Both experts agreed that the Bills would have less than 8 wins. One of them said it was due to QB issues. The other said they are a year or two away. That obviously meant "once they get a decent QB they will be ok".
This was one of the live versions so they are up to date with everything.
Maybe now you will realize that a glove wearing Mary and a Clean up the City Boy are not enough in today's NFL.
As long as ESPN said it and they are up to date. I believe it. Now I'm not going to watch.
-
I'm sure Peters has enough money to take care of his family. I'm not going to feel bad for multi-millionaire athletes.
-
Wrong - He practiced today.
-
Didn't he refuse to show up until right before the opener a few times?
I think so but technically he was not under contract. He would refuse to sign the franchise deal because he wanted a long-term contract.
-
I don't think Jones pulled any crap. He was franchised tagged a few years in a row.
-
Look, I can see that you obviously have a strong appreciation for homoerotic imagery, not that there is anything wrong with it, but really, couldn't you just PM that stuff to eachother?
Easy. In all these posts I have never attacked you personally. Just trying to have some fun. You should try it once in a while.

it matters plenty.ever hear of jet lag.i travel alot and when i go to vegas or california i am always tired the first day.you get up crazy early in new york to get to the airport and when you get there it is 3 hours earlier,when night time comes you have been up later that the people there.i know baseball teams never like the jet lag feeling.it is a dis advantage for the east team going west as much as a west team going east....the smart teams usually travel a few days early to combat the time change.....go bills!
So what if the game was at 8pm Sunday night? Would this help the Seahawks because the Bills aren't used to playing at night and it would be 5pm for Seattle?
I have heard of jetlag but these guys fly charter planes, go to a hotel and rest. It's not like they have jobs. They play football 1 day a week. Their energy level will be pretty high.

Mickey, when Jason returns to The Bills, his official roster picture will show you with a lip-lock on his love muscle.
Jesus H. Christ! give it a break!
Well said O Great Tim.
-
They're also missing 2 starters on their OL and have a weak running game. The defense is good, but they'll be travelling to Buffalo and playing at 10 AM their time.
Why does the time the game starts make a difference? These guys fly on a charter flight and get plenty of sleep.

So we I can't order a blintz on tuesday because if everyone ordered blintzes on tuesday there would be chaos. That is an obscure Woody Allen reference.
As for 2 years from now, I'd have to see his salary compared to his performance and the going rate for guys in his class. It is not exactly a new thing that rising league revenues leads to higher contracts. That is exactly what happened in the Schobel situation. He got a blockbuster deal for the money and cap limits of the time but 2 years later revenues and the cap limits were higher so that Kelsay, an inferior player, got more money than Schobel simply becuase of better timing. Recognizing that, the team went to Schobel immediately and headed off the exact kind of trouble we now have with Peters.
If we were talking about Roscoe or Kelsay or Denney, I'd be far more interested in the team making a point. Not with Peters. Not with Lynch. Not with Trent (that day is coming soon) and not with Poz. He is the best lineman on the team and one of the very best in the league and he plays a critical spot, or QB's blind side against the premier rushers in the league. He is not the guy I would want to make an example of. Back in the day, the team understood that, that is why the core, top players were there to stay (Reed, Kelly, Thurman and Bruce, etc). Others came and went but they didn't mess with best.
That's the problem we have. If I understand you correctly, all things being equal you would support another Peters holdout. You can't be the highest paid player every year.

I disagree, I think he has a lot left and if he can get with a good blocking team he'll be great. If he somehow ends up in Denver he'll hit 1200 yards.
Fortunately I set my leagues FF draft for anytime after 12:01 tonight and I moved Chris Perry up significantly on my draft board. Still wondering where to put Johnson. It would be nice to know what team picks him up.
Careful with Johnson. He has not recovered from last year's hamstring injury. I would not draft him.
-
I can play that game too:
Should players never get a new contract before their old one has expired no matter how much better than their contract they perform?
If the answer is "yes", show me links to posts where the board was up in arms over the raise Schobel got 3 years before his already huuuge deal was done.
If the answer is "no", then we agree that under some circumastances a raise is in order. I think this is one of them. Peters didn't play a little bit better, he played a lot better. He isn't underpaid by 10% or 20%, more like 50% or more. Now, if you don't think he deserves a raise, just explain to me why and how much better he needs to play before he is.
At what point under his current contract, if the level of his play continues, would you flip and support his demands for a new contract? Do you think that no matter how great he plays, he should play under this contract for the next 3 years?
First, I'm not playing a game. Second, do what you tell others. Read my post. I think Peters should get a raise. I think he is a very good LT. When he gets a raise is up for debate. My point is when does it end. What if Peters get a new deal and it is for $8M per year for 7 years. 2 years from now if he is a perennial Pro-Bowler he could be considered underpaid by your standards. Would you have a problem if he held out again for a better deal?
-
If you hear of a decent LT or RT get cut, I wouldnt be shocked to see Buffalo make a run for him........
Most teams do not cut decent OL.
-
No way either one clears waivers. Even if they did , they would be signed as free agents. They would not last on a practice squad.
-
NFL should go to a two game preseason and a 18 game regular season.
Next CBA.
-
If you can, watch NFL Network and see how many other teams did the same thing. I can't believe people are complaining about this. I'm pretty sure the team had their mind made up before this game who was going to be cut. There are maybe 1-2 decisions they have to make. This was the 4th pre-season game. Use a little perspective.
When is the point of no return for Evans?

He is worth what the market will pay him. If he does become an UFA, he will get a huge contract. People will complain he is overpaid, but name one professional athlete that isn't. Evans is talented and it would be a huge mistake to lose him.
