As a fan, I only care about winning. I dont understand why people on this board would rather "make a point" by not wanting the bills to give Peters the money. Now i know you have a list of reasons, but at the cost of not having all the pieces in place on sunday? If you knew for fact, that not having Peters play this year would be the difference between a 6 win season and a 10 win playoff season, you would not want the bills to sign him to the contract he wants TODAY? We dont know what him not being here is gonna mean until the season unfolds...but i do know our chances of that playoff season increase if Peters is playing.

Mickey, your not alone with your perception of this holdout. I know dozens of fans whom have never been to a messege board, and a great deal of them(most infact) just want the team to pay peters the $ that hes gonna get in the long run anyway. The mob mentality does exist with this bashing of Peters and i would guess that many on this board do agree with you, but who wants to subject themselves to the insults and bashing you seem to take daily. Anyhow...this board is a very small cross section and the "mob" does not speak for the masses.

what???? wow these boards have gone all to hell lol

ummm...durrr, fries with that? are you kidding me lol...read son read!!! did i say they were good now or recently? or about thier championships? geezz

I cant seem to wrap my brain around the fact that so many "Bills fans" would rather have a team without Jason Peters, simply because he wants another raise. I just want wins on the field, I dont give a chit about anything else. "just win baby!" maybe thats why the raiders and other organizations have trophy cases while the Bills build a roster full of character. Just when the ship is starting to sail in the right direction...whammo!! lets all cross our fingers and hope this offense can operate at full capacity come sunday. Seahawk passrush will provide some answers, im hoping there the right ones.

I dont think a couple series in the preseason is enough for a solid review, and i think Peters is banking on Kearny and peterson to expose our weakness at LT. Im not saying Walker wont play well, i hope to god he does, but the preseason is the preseason, so we will wait and see.

Just my opinion, but i think Lee wants to have a great year and then test the market...unless the bills are willing to make him a top 5 paid reciever. He seems a little to content about his situation for a guy whos anxious to get a deal done. He also may want to see how Trent progresses this year aswell.

wow...well done, I think this paragraph is spot on

I dont think there is any doubt he will suit up again....I'm just hoping the front office of the bills makes damn sure its in Buffalo.

Thanks for a fantastic read...i think everyone on this board should read it. I think Russ Brandon should aswell. I hope JP is back soon, and becomes a Bill for life.

Its always been important to "protect the blindside", because thats were the best pass rushers are. Its really that simple.

He was the best corner in camp, hands down. Good to see the coaching staff willing to play the best guy, lets hope they did the same thing with the QB position.

If this team cant beat the chithawks in a HOMEopener, with all the injury and suspension problems they bring....then they dont belong in the post season. Not gonna say the season would be over, but they MUST win at home to be contenders.

Reading that made me think about the real possibility, that this could be a special year. If Whitner becomes as good on the field as he appears to be off, then IT'S ON !!!!!

Playing with a rookie QB and RB, on a line in its first year together... I thought he was very good. I mean Lynch had over 1100 yrds in just 13 games, and the line gave up the least amount of sacks in club history. With Peters, year 2 for them will be even better. The line as a whole will be considered one of the better units in the NFL. If there is a weak link, its Fowler...no question. With a quality center, this line could be awsome.

me thinks this will be a blow out.... the ralph is gonna be rocking, and last seasons final second loss in the opener will will be a lesson learned.

lol....i actually thought the same thing after i started this thread.

no chit... mind boggling

When do we have our first Seahawk troll sighting? Im thinking monday and i cant remember ever wanting to see one as bad as i do right now. bring it on...31-13 bills...MOTHAFUGGAS!!!!!

well done, he may become sack leader this year and many more.

Can you imagine for a moment, if Youboty comes into his own this year...becoming the player they hoped for with a 3rd round pick. Our secondary may become the deepest in the NFL, and with Stroud and Poz allowing us to hopefully stop the run, making teams have to throw the ball....wait, stop now, forget it. i'm just getting all giddy with the possbilities. Im getting super pumped!!!

I love it !!! Poz looks like he's trying to take someone's head off when he tackles.

i think this is the point being missied by most...2 sides to a hold out. People whom want to believe Peters is in the wrong, can back it up with solids points, as can those who support the actions taken by Peters to get a pay raise. Its just business, looks like the bills are gonna hold firm, which is thier right to do so. Peters will show up this week and play out the season at a pro bowl level, and get paid next year. I wish Peters had decided to come to camp, but i also wish the bills had given him a new deal already. Not because i care about a millionare athlete who could use 20 more million, or an owner who could save himself some $ this year. I just want one of the best LT's in the league, protecting my 2nd yr QB's blind side now. because im a fan.

nice little battle you two have going on here...i agree with alot of what you say, i can really feel your anger here. Its a business, both sides try to gain as much as they can, i want him here because im a bills fan and he makes our team better. I dont know why you seem to be taking his holdout so personal, my first choice would be the front office give him a giant deal and keep him here for a long time. But if not, then im hoping and i believe Peters will come in this week and play for an even bigger payday next year. Its just business, there no loyalty from the players or the owners, just the way it is.
