I knew nothing of that quote, and yeah...it sucks.
I just have a problem with "piling on."
PS: Pose as you will but if he needed help, you would be there. I have seen you in action and will stick by this.

We were talking football before. It may not have been great, but it was football.
At some point, will we be through ganging up on one poster?
I probably agree with less than half of what he says, but he is not Ted Bundy either.
-
>>>>and he's certainly worth at least a 3rd.<<<<
I wouldn't be so sure. 31 GMs didn't think so in a weak draft.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Bills were a team trying to play "smashmouth" with a rookie coach, a weak OL, and Travis Henry sliding on his ass (untouched), missing blocks and running wrong routes.
Sacks were cut in half as soon as he left, and the team started winning.
Nah, makes no difference. Let's blame Drew.
-
Sorry AD, but that is just a little short sighted imo.
The Bills had a rookie coach. They had Travis until Halloween. Mike Williams was out of shape for at least 5 weeks, perhaps also until Halloween. There were problems at LG, and major injuries to the secondary.
It wasn't all Drew.

Again, the hit was result of contact. You seem to indicate that the contact he received should not have been enough to injure him.
Your comment "this is the real deal, not college" suggests that you do not think that the collision was that bad.
So I ask you again, did you see the hit? Was it, in your opinion, enough to injure an NFL player?
Dude, give up the interrogation. I answered both of your questions in the other posts.
Here are a couple for you:
Do you have ANY concern about JP getting injured?
Do you see ANY chance that he will not be as good as Bledsoe?
-
He got hurt in pre season and was out for weeks. I am not enough of a blind homer to have zero concern about injuries. This is the real deal, not college.
That said, he deserves a clean slate and our support.

The problem is this...TH will not be a Bill next season. He will either be traded or released before the season starts. Everyday the Bills postpone this, is one less day for him to learn a new teams scheme. That is screwing him because even though he is under contract, the Bills know they will not honoring this season.
I guess that this is the price one pays for being a player with little value. Think about it....if any GM would have coughed up a 3rd in a weak draft, this would be a moot point.
Hey, I would take that 4th from the Titans today. They might finish in the bottom 5 or so anyway. TD runs the team and he is hoping for more, thus the wait.
Henry is merely screwing himself with the pouting.
Jmo.

No. Let me also clarify something.....Did I like the move by TD to get rid of Drew? No. I didn't even like the trade to bring in JP.
That said, the coaches know more than I do and this was their choice. One reservation I have is that perhaps the loss to Pitt weighed too heavily on their decision. I also go out of my way to praise JP's work ethic. I support this kid as much as you. There is no choice.....he is our QB.
The poster suggested making this move in October 04. I was trying to jog my memory and try to recall if JP could in fact walk at the time.
Some of the Drew support is probably tiresome, but much of the Drew blame/hate is over the edge as well.
At this point, all any of us can do is cheer for the kid. If he has RJ talent (as some say) and football smarts, he will go a long way.

I notice he conveniently didnt mention the HUGE margin of victory teams like the Cowboys and Redskins enjoyed over the piss-poor Buffalo Bills.
You want to get into semantics about dynasties being defined by either time or margin of victory, thats fine. It doesnt make your grapes any less sour that you've pretty much been thoroughly embarassed in every Super Bowl you've played in. And yes, Wide Right was embarassing.
I'll continue to enjoy the run this magnificent team is on. IN fact, should the Patriots win the Super Bowl this year, they will be on the same plane as the Greatest Teams of ALL TIME in the NFL. Bet that doesnt sit too well with many of you.
Looking forward to another 2 easy wins at the Jills' hands this year!
Take it easy. You have you sb wins. They belong to you as a fan. Enjoy them.
If you have forgotten, this is a BILLS board. If you expect us to bow down and tell you that the pats are as good as the Cowboys or Steelers dynasties, you will be in for a long wait.
Certainly you can think of better ways to spend the hours (or decades).

the bills backed pat williams into a corner and gave him no option but to look elsewhere...........they gave him ONE "take it or leave it" offer in the summer and never made another offer, right up to the day he signed with the vikes.......no contact from when the season ended until he turned a free agent - zilch........what was pat williams supposed to do?
despite being disrespected like that, he still gave the bills the opportunity to match the offer he had, which they declined to do.........
it's funny how almost everyone that leaves the bills is considered some kind of a**hole by the masses around here......pat williams did nothing wrong and if you want to assign blame for why he isn't a bill, look no further then bills management who decided they didn't want to invest in the cost it would have taken to keep him here.......he did what he had to do, and that being said, i respect his "insider" opinion on the current team.......
3. The Bills (I read it Donahoe) is screwing TH over. He said either trade him or release him. Give him time to learn the playbook for another team.
Please explain how the Bills are "screwing" Travis.
HE came in, hat in hand, wanting an extra year on his contract. TD gave it to him, along with a bonus. Now, after a dismal season, he is under contract for upwards of a million dollars, and is not participating with the team.
What's the problem?

>>>>>And I'm prob the biggest Travis fan on the board.<<<<<
Wrong! This honor is reserved for VA Bills and me.

What can we really expect out of this kid, I mean we cant get down on him if he even goes 7-9 with this team. The fact is hes a rookie and no matter how good our defense is, he will have growing pains. I mean 10-6 is a bit too much too ask for JP.
I prey to god he proves me wrong but the closer we get to the season, the more i think we should have gone with drew one more year and took our chances. I just wanna make the playoffs but that will be hard when we have a new QB learning the ropes.
Something else that tends to be scary is alot of these websites say alot of teamates feel losman was a bad choice and now you hear fat pat say it as well, it just makes me as a bills fan nervous.
What is acceptable for JP as the Bills QB this year as far as win totals go before you guys wanna kill him?
First of all, my compliments on a brave post.
I have said all along that going another year with Drew was my choice. The Bills have some very good players (Fletcher, Milloy, Vincent, Moulds) that may not last as long as it takes for JP to develop, especially behind a very average OL.
NC will be a ufa, and it is unrealistic that an 87 year old owner who has less cash than most others will fork over 50 million dollars to keep a cornerback. Frankly, I have my own doubts about that kind of cap allocation to a corner.
Despite the above, I have nothing but praise for JP in terms of how hard he is working. I have taken a liking to the kid because of this. He also does have some pretty good teachers.
Additionally, it is a done deal. We cannot have the 6 or so slots we traded up for JP back, nor can we recoup the 2nd and the 5th. Drew is on the cowboys, and I wish him well. I think they are a team on the rise.
Can JP take us to the playoffs? I will agree with the other poster who implied that the OL might be the deciding factor. It HAS been for more than 10 years, thus the lack of playoff appearances/wins for the Buffalo Bills.

1) I predict that a combination of Edwards/Anderson will be an actual improvement over PW before the season ends.
2) Chances are he is correct, but the kid is working as hard as one could ask. 50/50 from where I sit.
3) There, he is full of sh--. Travis never learned the Bills playbook, and could not do so with help from a reincarnated Vince Lombardi and a team of Ivy League Professors. Travis is a player under contract to the Buffalo Bills Football Team.
Good riddance PW! Tell your story walking, that is if you still can in a year or so.

Zero. The mods did a good job with the "kinder, gentler" thing.

The more I think about it, I wonder...

How about the sack stats? Drew was sacked more than 50 times in 02, and sacks were cut in half while Willis was in there, right?
Don't you think that this matters at all?
