BF_in_Indiana Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 A month ago or so when we started 0-4 I suggested getting rid of Moulds for monetary reasons next year. I don't think one person agreed with me at the time and I could totally understand their thinking as well, but now that he's made these comments and is still set to make 8.5 million (this is still the key) next year are a lot of you starting to agree that he needs to be traded before next year?

If we had offered Moulds to Seattle for a 1st and 3rd Holmgren would have jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailog80 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Not from me it isnt. The guy made a great statement on what it means to him to be Bill, about the Uniform being bigger than the name on it and so on, and now he is the enemy? WTF ? Some of you have lost your frigging minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailog80 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Tdog the right thing to do is trade him. 124576[/snapback] Yeah the guy that personifies Bills football. The guy that resigned here at a reduced less than market value. A guy that is very tight with McGahee. They are always hanging out with on another. If EM wants to go send him if he wants to be here he'll have to take a paycut but by no means should he be shipped out of here. Evans isn't even a consistant number two receiver yet. Give EM a season with JP....JP needs a veteran. Do you think that Big Ben would be doing so well W/O Ward and Plax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as great as Tom Brady, mind you, but great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moulds knows he is in for a rebuild and is sick of it. 4 HC's, Crappy losing seasons, 15 different QB's....time to move on for HIS Sake and I don't blame him.

Some of you have lost your frigging minds. 124572[/snapback] I don't want to see Moulds leave, but that statement he made about being a Bill has been way over-rated IMO. I appreciate what he said, but the glory years of the 90's are long, long over. Not only are those players gone, but it seems that TD has done everything to distance this team from that era, from changing the uniforms all the way down. I doubt that anyone in the locker room could relate to what Moulds was saying, & that's a damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Moulds will not be in Buffalo next season. Neither will Jennings. If all of our other FAs leave, then we're in a world of hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 We are really lumbing the depths of desperation with talk of trading Eric Moulds. He is a Buffalo Bill and should retire as one. He is the only link on the playing staff to an era where we knew how to win. I for one wold not like to see him go. He is the strength of our WR corps - losing him means less chance for Evans to succeed when he's single covered cos EM is doubled... What are the strength of our O right now?? A formiddable rushing attack and quality starting receivers. Lose one or both of those and our O is a bunch of hoods in football uniforms. We may have problems at QB, OL and TE - why make troubles worse by giving EM away before his time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Trade Moulds for who(m)? sp..... You want Tommy D Whitey to make ANOTHER trade? Yuck, let's take it easy in the trade department. 1. Moulds is a consummate professional. 2. Yeah, Brewster Drewster is throwing to #80 exclusively it seems, but Moulds is one of the more productive receivers. 3. He's very beneficial to the growth of Lee Evans. 4. You want to put JP in there with Moulds not on the field? JP's gonna be looking around in a daze.....Bobbah, where's Bobbah Shaw.....? Errrrrr.....Habibi Haddadii, get open man..... uh Mark Campbell....that's the ticket. Josh Dropsies Reed....... Moulds's contract isn't up after this season........right?

Guest BillsRebound Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Moulds knows how to use the media to make a point. I believe the point he is trying to make without coming out and saying it is that Bledsoe needs to go. The players have to realize it at this point. You don't think that watching Drew play like a sheepish scrub against New England once again had anything to do with the defense's uninspired effort? In today's NFL, inspiring one's teammates may be the #1 desired quality out of your QB. Drew is unquestionably #32 out of #32 on that list.

BF_in_Indiana Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have absolutely no problem with the comments Eric made, in fact I feel the same way he does. I'm tired of watching this team lose, and I'm sure he's tired of losing. That being said, with the comments and the monetary concerns next year (8.5 million) why wouldn't you look into the possibility of trading him while we can still get value for him?

They aren't even going to be able to sign thier own players as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thinking got New England to the top of the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
