The Lynch thing has made me question the veteran leadersip of the Bills

[User Manuel]

Somewhere along the line someone has given Marshawn some pretty bad advice, IMHO. While under no obligation to say anything, this incident has now drawn multiple teamates into the situation and caused a legitimate distraction.

Now, I acknowledge that there may be other factors at work here, but I would expect guys like Angelo Crowell, Aaron Schobel, Lee Evans, Terence McGee to be getting in Lynch's face and telling him to make this go away. Instead we seem to be getting as full lockstep behind Lynch. Somewhat admirable from a loyalty standpoint, but Yikes!!! from a philosophy standpoint.

This has a very Bengalish odor to it.

I agree. The vets on this team not only should've suggested but insisted on canadian ballet instead of Chippewa.

We have veterans that dont even want to be captains.... so ya this is logical.

If somebody other than my lawyer tried to tell me how to handle my legal situation, I would tell them to go **** themselves.

You're right. Marshawn should be taking advice from Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay.

Give me a break.

Part of the problem with this team is that we have no personality, we don't have anyone with a big mouth that's willing to tell people when they are being a moron.

Ray Lewis does it for the Ravens, Brady James does it for the Cowboys, Torry Holt does it for the Rams, who does it for us?

this would never have happened if The MArv was still here. Bruce and Thurm never had a drinking problem.

Maybe the advise should have came before the incident.

Lawesome, I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe we are having these problems because of the team is young. And, the ones that aren't, don't have the vocal leadership qualities.

The only one that seems to is Whitner, and even he is young.

Ray Lewis is the last guy that you'd want anyone taking advice from on what to do when you are out on the town and drinking with friends...!

At least Ray makes sure the witnesses are dead.

Marshawn has a very good attorney with a very good track record. He would be a complete moron to listen to anyone other than his attorney. Not a Bengalish point of view, but a realistic point of view as how to handle a situation like this when the lawyer knows far more about the logistics of the system than the client and his friends do.

As for the vets standing behind him - good for them. They are his teammates and his friends. However this turns out, the end result is that it was an accident. If he intentionally hit this girl, then they should no longer be his friend and they should tell on him. As long as it was an accident, they are going to forgive him for making a mistake and they should tell him that he should do the right thing, but do so after consulting with his attorney.

One thing that pisses me off sincerely with some of the mb people here is the flip-flopping. Utter homerism at one point turns into bitter betrayal at the switch of a button. Half the people harping on Lynch are the same people that were all over his jock. Lynch has a proven track record of having good character and leadership and to discredit him merely off of one incident, especially an incident with little evidence to substantiate any wrongdoing is jumping the gun, imo. If the POPO had something on Lynch he would already be charged with a crime. Plus, if Goodell hasn't voiced any concern on the issue yet, then I think it's safe to say that Lynch should be OK, atleast for the moment.
