Just in Atlanta Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 "I swear...if you took all the castaways from the Bills, you'd have a pretty damn good team. They just don't do it right at all." Was pretty high on this team. All we got, which is to say all the owner gets, is some freed up salary. A 4th rd pick does nothing. How can you trade your only card (WR depth) that actually was above average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekertesz88 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I can see Maybin lining up next to Ray Lewis and Ed Reed already.........then being handed back the water bottles so he can return to his customary spot at the end of the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We've had plenty of talented players. Not many (any?) great players. We tend not to keep our talented players, though, so we can never actually build a successful team. We don't do it right, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Pat Williams, Greer, Winfield, Clements, Jim Leonard, Peters, Fletcher, Spikes, Lynch, add Poz to that list now. what's funny is that we tried to re-sign almost all of those guys-- PW, AW, Greer, Fletcher, and Poz. Even Peters was more of a contract issue, and Clements would have broken the bank. Baltimore is good because they draft really well and hang onto their own great guys. I don't recall their trades and FA signings being all that great--trading for Boldin (sub-par year last year), and McGahee (sub-par career) weren't very successful.

d_wag Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 seriously, it's a joke......while other teams develop draft picks we blow them or, in this case, piss them away for next to nothing......which is why this team is on a treadmill and that won't change until the owner goes.......you can't "build through the draft" when you keep screwing it up love to see things turn around but have lost the faith, especially when after a decade of losing they pull a move like this.....it really just says it all - anyone smoking the "rebuilding" pipe hasn't been around long enough to know it's a load of garbage with ralph in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanM.D. Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 welp, they cut McGahee this year after a couple of lackluster seasons. lets see how great they make Evans... Hopefully Evans doesn't leave Baltimore with the Brinks truck stuffed like McGahee did. Not only did Baltimore trade for him they gave him a big contract and he severely underperformed. Having said that I like Lee......Willis.....not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Lynch? Poz? Spikes? Are we stretching things a little? PTR Take off your Bills colored glasses and you will be hard pressed to find better players on our current roster. Spikes yes but he is so old now thats another issue. Poz, Ill give you Burnett but we start two MLBs now. Lynch is an argument, but he is better than Spiller and I always liked him better than Jackson, who is also good. Besides, you need a minimum of 2 RBs these days. Add in draft picks (who the Bills took v who they should have taken (not in hindsight)) and you have a team of pro bowlers v a team of crap.

BillsLux Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Seriously, wouldn't you be stoked if you just traded a 4th round pick for Lee Evans? Does anyone really think the probabilities are high that any team (not just us) would get a 4th round pick that produces more than Evans (and yes, I know his age)? And by the way, it's been terrible rooting for a quality guy and a leader on the team. He was one of the few BILLS. I love the deep financial analysis on the salary cap. IF my memory serves me correct, we're currently way below it, and we've done nothing to put a few guys in front of Fitzpatrick to save him from getting killed.Maybe, just maybe, if we had a line, then Fitz would have the 3-4 seconds to see Evan breaking open down the field.

rpcolosi Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 they were stoked when they got McGahee, who was younger and coming off a few better season than lee, too... oops. talk about a waste of millions. Nice job on that one Newsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Evans was drawing most of the coverage and opposing teams only really saw him as the Bills best WR threat, which left Stevie Johnson open and single covered most of the time. Just looking at the games after Evans was injured the offense didn't look nearly as good as when he was on the field. So, unless someone steps up to draw coverages away from Johnson i don't see the offense as being as successful as when the Bills had Evans. Yea, you are right, If I were a Raven fan I'd be stoked as they got the Bills best wideout for a 4th, Flacco must be drooling Anyway, best wishes to Lee Evans, a class act and I hope he gets a SB ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
