Still no Peters? Do we still have to pay him for this game?

so close...

nice hit!!!

someone was being held big time!

I saw Chambers out there too. Peters must be receiving a blow.

This is crazy. There has to be a lot more to this story than we are hearing. I don't think the bills would have willingly placed him on IR for a 2-4 week rehab. Too short handed? Alright, bring on Buggs. This is his contract year! This is going to potentially cost him millions. Its either he is going to be super pissed at the Bills and sign somewhere else, or sign on the cheap. Or, if he was smart, would demand to be released. This reminds me of what happened to Vincent. Or, another way to look at it is that this is all Peters fault. That a s$ hole!

I think he is. In fact, I've heard he's been dabbling in the arts...

So that's who killed Health Ledger. It wasn't the Olson twins.

That's an interesting point. I haven't read the actual contract agreement, but what happens if Ralph kicks the bucket? Is the contract void? If the team moves somewhere else, does it have to travel to Toronto once a year for 7 years to fulfill the contract? (If Parker buys them, can the Bills hold-out for more money? ) Or, is this a way of guarenteeing that toronto gets the Bills once Ralph dies (assuming he dies within 7 years)?

I thought it's all about the Hokey Pokey?

I would never have believed that 1 year ago.

But, some (probably 98% of) players get used to living a particular lifestyle and can't look back. It's sort of like getting a higher paying job. You start to think you need even more salary and then you look back and wonder how you ever lived comfortably before. Losing that much money per game, plus his fines, is going to start to hurt him. By week 1, he would have forfeited a half million dollars. For someone who is throwing a hissy fit over making just 3.2 million per year (gettin disrespected), you can bet this is going to hurt him some.

Dunno who you are talking about. Lock thread preemptively.

I hope it is an O-lineman. In fact, everyone on the PS should be converted into OL. This will increase the chances of success.

Hmmm.... This creates a unusual/funny problem. McKelvin was a early first round pick and we are paying him a lot of cash, especially to sit on the bench. Most players picked around him will likely be starting at some point in the year. Does this mean he is going to take someones place? And who's? Will he become a starter only by injury? I can't see us only using him on kick returns - that's a high price to pay. I wonder if this signals Greer or McGee leaving within the next couple of years? It's funny that we have too many CBs now.

The Buffalo News is indirectly (but not definitively) saying that he is not going to report and that this is going to drag into the regular season: "His absence wasn’t so much a surprise as it was confirmation that their regular season will begin without him. Their attention has turned toward the Seattle Seahawks. Peters wouldn’t have enough time to be ready to play Sunday in Ralph Wilson Stadium even if he ended his holdout today, having made his discontent clear to the organization." http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/428144.html

With an unclear whipping boy, due to Youboty's recent success, let's get 'em back. Oh, wait...we still have McCargo.

Let him start and let's hope he screws up a few times. That would quash new contract talk for a while (at least until end of season).

Isn't this the Dude that destroyed his chances after he pitched a fit and kept on repeating his 40 run?

Thanks for the texts, Jason! Now come back to camp. We have a game in a week.

Well, he's been doing it, and apparently has done it in the past. Links above.

That is AWESOME!

Probably, so. But, I think he has 2 years left on his contract. If so, he could have surgery and sit out this year and next year, have a monster contract year. Now, he will likely need surgery at the end of (or during) this year. As a result, he may miss next year or not be ready to play at the start of next season. What does his agent think about all this? Just more proof agents are only out for themselves. Does he think that he is going to finish his career with a torn PCL and MCL? Does he actually think he is never going to have to have them repaired? These ligaments are in place to stabilize his knee joint. So, in essence, he will be playing on a very unstable, but playable, knee. Next time he gets this knee hit (not if he gets it hit), picture Willis McGahee.

I already read somewhere, I think the BN, that they are going to put both back there. The kicking team is going to have to pick their poison. Here is one instance where Chris Brown speaks about it, and this was written before April actually instituted using both of them during training camp: http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3616 Here's some more about Parrish and McKelvin: http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3794

Of course he can play - we have already seen this. But, when the 4 top orthopods in the country, including Bruce's former doc in Alabama and Willis's doc in Miami, say you have surgery instead, its kinda teelling....
