cantankerous

Thanks oregonmark... What city are you in? Salem here...

We would have beaten the Jets if Greer wouldn't have missed that tackle on Justin Miller's kickoff return late in the 4th quarter. I know you all remember that...I don't hate Greer, he just isn't that good.

Now that would be great wouldn't it? LOL

You've probably never seen him play if you think he's just a fat ass...He's much more than that, and if you don't know then please don't comment.

I remember him getting burned a lot last year...not just the Miami game. and comparing Clements to T.O. is just stupid, he's nothing like T.O.

Another Bills fan from Oregon? That brings the total to 5 then...I think. I'll be happy with Ngata at #8. He's a freak of nature.

our current uniforms are much better than the oldies.

Absolutely.

Ok I get it now Just trying to live up to my name.

You usually have good threads Tipster, this however is not one of them. Sounds like a bunch of whining to me.

I can't believe all the crybabies in this thread...wahhhh wahhhhhhh we suck. It's april...relax people. And I wonder what all of you doomsday naysayers will be saying if Peerless Price comes back with a vengeance and has a great season? Before you write off the entire season and all the players we've signed, why not wait to see what happens in training camp and pre-season at least! Too much negativity around here...

Excellent post Simon.

Just let him smoke weed, it's not a big deal. They need to lift that off the banned substance list.

I think we have a very manageable schedule...The first few games will definatly set the tone. We've got to come out strong and violent. Hopefully knocking a few Pats players silly early in the contest...kinda like Lofa Tatupu's collision with Nick Goings in the playoffs last year. I'm really looking forward to whipping the Bears and Packers...We better.

/\was that supposed to be funny? BTW, didn't they say Willis would be absent for the first 2 days?

You can cry and B word about it all you want, it's not going to do any good. I don't know why Ralph is doing what he's doing...it's not going to change a thing.

Where's the "this is a complete overreaction" option?

I completely agree with your last statement. Hopefully they get it worked out asap.

or tell Ralph to quit being such a tight wad. ps- i'm kidding.

C'mon man, it's not that big a deal...it's APRIL! There are plenty of more voluntary mini camps and team events. He'll catch on fast. I'm sure Jauron sent him some stuff to study...he'll be just fine. It's not like he's learning a new position. He still has to cover the other team's best wide receivers. Don't get me wrong I wish he was there, but I just don't think it's a reason to have ill will towards Clements. Besides...is there really a penalty if a players signs a franchise tag then gets a long term deal? Does the team really lose the franchise tag? I'm in the dark on that subject.

What's with all the ripping on California? LA isn't that bad now, c'mon. I'd like to see them stay in Buffalo but seeing as how i'm in Oregon... I wouldn't be completely devastated like most. In fact i'd be excited to visit LA to see my first Bills game! Someday maybe. Oh yeah, and i'd keep the name Bills...LA Bills...it sounds pretty good actually. Not as good as Buffalo Bills though.

For the past few years every franchise player i've heard of doesn't sign the tender right away...Walter Jones was tagged something like 3 years in a row and didn't show up to anything til the season started. Offensive tackle is very different than cornerback but it's not like Nate is a rookie. He can and will hold his own. I'm sure they will work out the long term contract before the year starts...and no matter what kind of year he had last season...he is by far the Bills best defensive back. I just wish people would have a little more faith and not jump on all the players at the first sign of trouble.

They didn't say it but the tone around here is consistant with people's attitudes. You don't think so?

My god, wake up people! This is nothing new for franchise players! By the way...the season doesn't start til September...don't get your panties in a bunch so soon.

Wow, some of you are amazing...ONE day of VOLUNTARY mini camp missed and suddenly Nate Clements is a bum? What great fans we have.
