jester43 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 they wanted to run some formation where they normally don't have boldin in. he lost his mind because he wasn't out there with the game on the line. he was popping off like a baby and i could read haley's lips sayng, "YEAH TRY IT, TRY IT." Â the !@#$ing nerve of the guy to start a fight with a coach when the game is on the line like that. it just astonishes me. Â i swear, are there any pro football players that aren't selfish childish pricks? because they really seem to be in short supply sometimes.

Jerry Jabber Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I always thought Boldin was a good WR and never heard him shoot his mouth off before. What he did was totally classless and especially during the wrong time of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Boldin is on his way out in Arizona anyway. Can any of you honestly say that you wouldn't want him around here? I'd take the guy here, starting for the Bills, in a heartbeat. He's one of the best WR's in the league. His disputes with Arizona have been covered in the past and this is just another incident to add to the equation of of Anquan Boldin + trade = draft picks as compensation.

marauderswr80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think Boldin has every right to get upset. Just goes to show he wants the ball in his hands for his team, he wants to make a play for them. I see nothing wrong with a guy wanting to be on the field on a game winning drive, especially Boldin! I like that fire in a guy, send him our way, I'll gladly take that on my team. Id love nothing more then to see Lee Evans heated for not being on the field on a game winning drive. I wouldnt call him a baby I call him a guy wanting to make a play for his team to go to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona should have paid him, plain and simple. But it looks like they have the depth w/Breaston so Boldin may not have a case. Could see Seattle taking stab at him or SF.

cantstopbeastmode Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I swear Ralph trained some of you guys into actually accepting mediocrity. You never see any sort of spark from the Bills, anyone getting frustrated, and that pisses me off more than if they actually did. If you want choir boys, then go ahead and be 7-9 every year. If you want a SB team, you gotta have guys who love the game who wanna make plays for their team. Â Anyone see the passion Fitz had yesterday? Hightower? Boldin's desire for the game? We have a teamful of Lee Evans'. Great player, great character, can't really complain about the guy, but he does kind of seem to just accept whatever happens. If he has a 2 catch game, he won't B word. If we lose cuz of a playcall, he won't B word. I understand bitching does not equate to wins, but I just wish we had someone with some !@#$ing passion. Â But yeah, the selfish prick boldin is going to the SB in 2 weeks. And the guy you compared him to was in the SB a few years ago. The Bills haven't even sniffed the playoffs. Its actually conceivable that both of those guys have been to the SB more recently than we have even beat the Pats(I don't feel like researching it).

Talk to him after the game, during a timeout, whatever; but stfu when the guy is trying to call a game, especially in the closing minutes of a tight contest.

Dude is a warrior and wanted to be out there on a crucial drive. I love that attitude. He could have expressed himself better but it was in the heat of the moment.

Â Â Good players do not hurt the the chance of the team overall--i would hope he wants the ball in his hands but he doesn't need to make a big scene out of it. That takes attention away from the object at hand and puts it on Boldin. This is like Owens complaining after a Cowboys win that he didn't get the ball enough.

Stussy109 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 From what I could see on the camera it was a combination of Boldin being on the sideline in the clutch, Lary Fitzgerald making consecutive sick catches, and Fitzgerald mouthing to the sideline "I told you, give me the ball, GIVE ME THE BALL!"

Dante Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I usually am the first to jump on NFL players over this stuff. But as far as I understood, Boldin has been a team player for the Cards ever since they've had him. I'm not really looking to defend him here but this could be one of those deals where there is more to the story. Lets face it, it's not like Arizona has been one of the better run organizations. They could have jerked Boldin around some unnecessarily. Just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
