WhoTom Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) In the grand scheme of things he's good, but not a stand-out lineman. His career is rather ... incognito. Edited April 10, 2018 by WhoTom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLandsMeanie Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I took him to mean that becoming a HOF guard was his remaining goal. So he was letting that go and retiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napmaster Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 When I first saw the tweet this afternoon I thought he was trolling people - especially with the Hall of Fame comment. Looks like he really is retiring. His career is better than good, but not legendary and HOF worthy. It think he had yellow jacket potential though, it just didn't play out that way in his career.

Direhard Fan Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I do believe we have not heard the last of Richie. What a turn of events. Even changes the draft outlook. Not happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 4 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: If Kent Hull aint in the Hall, Richie ain't in the Hall either. My exact thoughts, Hull showed consistency over many years and was an anchor for a prolific offense that some would argue changed the game. Hull was responsible for blocking schemes and adjustments at the line during hectic no huddle sprints. Incognoto, while a workhorse, was just an above average guard, not a gamechanger or anchor as much as Hull was. Voters sadly do not recognize Hull as a member of their group, how Richie Incognito sees himself as worthy is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Cogs is similar to another guard who played for the Bills. Conrad Dobler one of the dirtiest NFL players ever to suit up.Ritchie, basically a low life his entire football career got smart after the Martin incident. And, kept his nose clean in Buffalo in order too make some cash. He gets some love in Buffalo, he deserved it. But he is who he is. Not worthy of the wall of fame much less the hall of fame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If Ritchie had'nt been mentally ill he might have made it. Don't get me wrong, when he wasn't crazy he was always very good, but I don't know that he was ever proficient enuf in pass pro to make it to Canton anyway. Speaking for myself, I'm going to really miss seeing him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull played OL at 195 beginning of his college career. That fact alone should put him in the hall. He needs to be in ...but it could be on a seniors thing.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 10 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: Ritchie finished his odd retirement post with I just want to be in the Hall of Fame. Is he over valuing himself or does he belong in the Hall ? Will his past keep him out ? While HOF LT Orlando Pace was finishing his distinguished career with the StL Rams, HC Mike Martz was ripping off his headset and screaming "What is WRONG with that F**cker?" when one RI drew back-to-back 15 yd personal foul penalties. Most of the OLmen in the HOF seem to have had 10+ year careers. RI had 2 1/2 strong years for Miami and 3 good years for us Bottom line, RI simply hasn't played in a HOF-worthy manner for long enough in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cba fan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 11 hours ago, Da webster guy said: This makes me think the guy has CTS or something. Tweeting a few days ago about being pumped for the season, then firing his agent on twitter, then saying his kidneys and liver are shutting down from stress (wha?), and talking about the HOF. It's like someone swiped our beloved #68 and replaced him with a malfunctioning clone. Personally I think he knows he has one year left and sees all the crazy money being paid out with these huge deals and looks at his $6M as half of what a pro bowl guard is worth. So he fires his agent, says he's retiring, and waits to see what the counter offer is for Richie. I say smart move. Squeeze out a couple more mil before you go. He needs to take a conference call from Jordan Matthews, EJ Gaines, and Preston Brown, to review this years market values. Then head down to TB12 clinic and get on a better diet and de-stressing plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 He didn't like taking a pay cut, saw the Bills make the playoffs and thought himself an indispensable part of that. He likely thought he could squeeze Beene for more money. When Beene said "Nope!", he flippantly announces retirement, and waits for the Bills to try and bribe him back. Unfortunately for him, I don't think Beene gives in to threats or demands. Richie's done. As for the Hall of Fame, not even close. Ironically another strong year or two with Buffalo could have helped his case. Ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
