davefan66 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I just wish Russ had waited till next week to pull the trigger. That way Philly may have given us the earlier 1st rounder. As for next years pick being a 6th rounder (if that is true), that is total rubbish, mine as well not have taken it at all. As for seeing Peters go, fine. I am sick and tired of these millionaire athletes who are under contract not showing up. I understand he was worth more $$ than we were paying him, but show up, do your job under the contract YOU signed. Didn't mind how the OL played without him last year. With TO complimenting Evans this year, maybe that may take some pressure off the OL, who knows. Maybe Bell is the answer, if not Walker did a good job at LT last year. Peters better thank Jim McNally for making him the player he is today. Taking an undrafted TE and converting him to a "pro bowl" LT. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/20...094971324_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He was never again gonna play for us, whether he was on the roster or not. We got what we could for him. Good luck with that Philly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'd don't think I've ever seen you right on any issue ever. I've been saying since mid-December that Peters has played his last game in a Bills uniform; quite clearly, I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsguy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Not happy with the compensation. Wanted more...the 20th instead of the 28th, and a 3rd instead of a 4th. Not happy. I agree completely! The Eagles should be thrilled. They have plenty of draft picks and plenty of cap room and they only give up the 28th pick. The unknown pick better be damn good.

AJ1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 How about NO trade at all and pay the damn guy? Maybe the Bills decided, not some freaking fan, that Peters was not close to being worth what he and his agent were demanding. If anyone got hosed, it was the Eagles.

Bad Lieutenant Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Anybody want to take bets on how long after Peters signs his fat contract that he becomes lazy and complacent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Me too Senator, and I want them to win every bit as much as you. We disagree on a player or 2, but the Bills matter more than this freaking idiot. I know this. The thing is, we don't have a left tackle and we haven't had a really good one since Wolford. Fina? He wad decent for a year or 2, but in all he was an undersized bag of s--t. And here we are, back to square 1. Well... Mike Leach ...says it all starts with the offensive line. Should be an interesting draft - I'm thinking Michael Oher, then Mack or Pettigrew, then Connor Barwin, then Loadholt, then who knows? (I'm still hoping for Harrell in the 5th or 6th.)

Bill from NYC Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Maybe the Bills decided, not some freaking fan, that Peters was not close to being worth what he and his agent were demanding. Sadly, they miss all the time AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just absolutely wretched. It breaks down like this.....we are a cold weather team that had a suckass OL for 15 or so years. Finally, we luck into a blocker with huge talented, a tough s.o.b. What to do? We trade him away for a few bu!!schit draft picks that we all know what Jauron and company will do with them. Bills Fans primarliy consist of blue collar raised tough guys. We sit in the elements and cheer our favorite team, and they look like a bunh of whatever the politically correct term for midgets is these days. Flbills, 1billsfan and all the rest of you Losman fans (in or out of the closet).....please hear this.....I am feeling your pain, and I mean this sincerely. Unless Trent is even better than I thought (and I think he is good), this really might seal the deal on his development. This really sucks. Oh well, any news about Donte Whitner? We should be thrilled with this move. Let's face it, the Bills are going absolutely nowhere with Jauron as coach or with Peters at LT. They'll have the opportunity to draft some new talent which will benefit the next coach and the team as a whole. This team in the playoffs this year is simply an illusion. They don't have the personnel or braintrust in many areas. Trent is young enough that he can rebound from the Dick/Turk debacle once a real staff is in place. We just have to hope that happens for 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The link: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast And this should tell us all we need to know about the relationship between Peters and the Bills: Pat's and Geno's are extremely excited about Peters being traded to philly.

plenzmd1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 1) Guess we need to re do Walkers contract, cause he signed his contract when he was a right tackle, now he is a left tackle that gave up no sakcs at that position last year 2) Anyboday else see Philly not getting a deal done with Peters as a big Fug you for when we sent ole whats his face back when we could not a deal done with him? I am actually not be facetious here, as something smells funny if Eugene is not involved, that just makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenbar Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is awful, simply awful. Who the F--- is going to play LT now? How about LG? You finally find a pro bowl LT after searching since 1993 (wil Wolford) and now this is how you treat the man? This organization is completely ridiculous. Yeah, we saved $1.5 million, cash to cap wahhhh!!!! We have draft picks!!! Wahhh....friggin ridiculous. This is the first day in my 33 years of life I can honestly say I am friggin embarassed to be a Bills fan! Now my son you can call yourself a Bills fan..Being embarassed is part in parcel to being a BIlls fan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Pat's and Geno's are extremely excited about Peters being traded to philly. I'll wait to see who they draft at No. 28 before I decide whether I like this deal, but I agree with the people who think the Bills were essentially forced to get rid of him.

If I have time I can print a whole page of things that have happened between then and now that are much worse. Not denying your embarrassment, but this is not even close to the worst thing for this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more upset about the compensation than the actual trade. I'm still trying to figure out in what universe a 4th and a 6th is better than a 3rd. We could have had 5 picks in the top 85, but no, we're smarter than the rest of the league, so we'll pass on the 3rd so we can get an extra 6th. Camp fodder! Yay! Super Bowl bound!

Lets wait and see how it all unfolds. Lets say the Bills want to pull a trade with Parrish for somebody they're targeting and needed a 4th to close the deal. Now they have their extra 4th and a conditional next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
