That's brutal by Petey.  See below for a flotsam definition (why must he use such big words with the football crowd

 

1. the part of the wreckage of a ship and its cargo found floating on the water. Compare jetsam, lagan. 

2. material or refuse floating on water. 

3. useless or unimportant items; odds and ends. 

4. a vagrant, penniless population: the flotsam of the city slums in medieval Europe.

Well, it is what it is. Our #2 WR will be somebody that is a street free agent that nobody else really wanted at even a reasonably price let alone the 4 yr $10 M contract he sign for OR a $9-10M guy that was being offered about half by Carolina and generally nobody wanted for a #3 with possibilities to be a #2 ...

• Buffalo ($8.8 million under): The Pats aren't afraid to deal within the division, as they showed with Drew Bledsoe. But maybe the bomb Peerless Price caught from J.P. Losman the other night will make Marv Levy think he can get by with Lee Evans and flotsam at wideout.

No fewer than four former second-round draft picks, with a combined 607 receptions/8260 yds/49 TD catches in their NFL careers, equals "flotsam"?

 

Alllllllrighty then. I wouldn't rank the current crop of Bills WRs up there with the A. Reed / Lofton / Beebe era just yet, but I don't hate 'em, either.

It's not their offense that will determine their fate, it's their defense.  Always has been, always will be.  But the lack of WR's will make a difference. Fortunately for them the division is still weak and it should be another division title for them.

I think their fate will be be determined by their kicker. Vinateri won MANY BIG Games for the Pats, and they replaced him with who? And people talk about the ? on the Bills. :P

I didn't get as defensive about the comments as most in this thread. Maybe he overstated it a bit, but I don't think he is completely out of line. None of the receivers on our roster have proven anything.

I disgaree. Peerless is a former 1000 yard reciever say what you want but thats one thousand yard season more then deion branch has had. I still believe michael vick will never have a 1000 yard wr, not because the receivers aren't good but because Michael Vick is not a competant passing qb. And Evans has branch smoked. I could compare it to branches first 2 years but it leans even heavier in favor of evans

in 4 seasons branch has a grand total of 14 tds. Evans has 16 in 2 seasons. Not that Deion branch isnt a good receiver he's been money in the superbowls, but I definitly wouldnt take him over evans, and if peerless is even that mediocre receiver he was in atlanta he's a push with branch.

I was going to note Evans as the exception but he hasn't been a #1 yet. Peerless success was years ago with a different offense and QB. The jury is still out whether or not he can recapture any of his former magic. I don't think all too highly of Branch either, but that was never the point of my post. I don't think they should trade for Branch, a me type guy looking for a payday, but he is better than everyone on our roster outside of Evans.

INK, the reason a lot here get pissed at fata$$ is because he has blasted Marv and the Bills more than once since the firing of Old Whitey.....then he goes and pimps Donohoe by lecturing Bills fans that we should have been careful what we wished for when we applauded the firing of TD.

 

wish I had some of the links, but I can tell you this, if you read them, you'd see just how harsh his writing tone was.

...most of which can ably describe your average "But enough about football, let's talk about Starbucks and field hockey" Peter King article, ironically. :doh:

Maybe I'm oversimplifying this, but just stop reading Peter King. The guy has almost nothing pertinent to add to any football based discussion. It seems, at this point, he is merely spewing regurgitated headlines and making up the rest. When was the last time he provided any real insight?

I've read the insults. The last piece of "journalism" by itself is not terribley inflammatory.

I remember an article, but I don't want to find the link, where he graded the draft from five years ago, to which he said we had a good draft and that we were dumb for getting rid of TD basically. Somehow I'm sure he'll forget to point this out next year when he grades the 2002 draft.

Eat my ass Peter King, BTW really looks like Romo will be taking over in Dallas pretty damn soon.

Ahhh, you must be one of the bitter FFLers who listened to Mr. Starbucks and drafted Danny Wuerrfel with your number 1 pick a few years ago.

Classic. Like any sports-opinion guy, King has his share of both hits and misses... and I'd have to say that one was a world-class, make-yourself-look-silly strikeout.
