All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Anyone mad that it took 2 injuries to talk to peters.

We had 2 injuries on I think monday. Tuesday and today we are finally talking to him. Im kind of upset it took this much to do the talking. Would we of not talked to Peters if there werent the 2 injuries, or did it just happened like that?
ps- im trying to have a mature thread. please no smack talk.
Re: Anyone mad that it took 2 injuries to talk to peters.
It would be an easy conversation.
FO: Jason, you still have 3 years left on your contract. You are coming off an injury. Play this year, show us the injury was a fluke, perform at Pro-Bowl level and maybe we will think about giving a new contract next year. If not enjoy the fines because you are property of the Buffalo Bills for the next 5 years if we feel like tagging you.

Good strategy.
Throw away a football season, maybe more than just one. So that a point could be proven to our best player that you don't try and stick it old puke Ralphie' for more money when you still have years left on your current deal.

who knows if they already didn't say that? THey already said they've contacted them and it's Peters who hasn't been replying.
Re: Anyone mad that it took 2 injuries to talk to peters.
Put to rest the OL talk and people defending it because we looked bad in a preseason game. The bottom line is easy to see. We currently have a LT who was a disaster two years ago with the Raiders (Walker), giving up more sacks than anyone in the NFL, and came to Buffalo last year and was a revelation at Right tackle. Let me say that again.. Right Tackle. He’s not a left tackle, and even he knows it. We have a LG (Dockery) who is elite only in salary. We have a RG (Butler) that the jury is still out on. We have a RT (Chambers) who is so bad I’m not sure his mother thinks he should be starting. We have a C (Fowler) who was pretty much garbage last year against bigger DT’s, and I don’t think he’s getting better anytime soon. And You want to the Bills to let Peters to sit and rot because a “contract is a contract”?
Or he should have to prove himself again this year? You cannot win in the NFL with a crap OL and without Peters, this OL is just that.. total crap. I think you secretly love this team sucking; it gives you a reason to post your “30th ranked offense” garbage everytime you enter a thread, or post how ****ty our starting QB stats are... You wouldn’t know what to do with yourself is this was a playoff team. I think your Wys’ distant cousin or something.

LOL..
Is Jason Peters NOT our best player?|
If he isn't, I'm begging you to pleaseeeeeee educate me and tell me who our best player is? Not only our best, but our most valuable as well (Peters is both)

he has a contract.
he has failed to contact the bills.
he has failed to prove he can play.
he has failed to prove he is healed from the surgery.
yet, you refuse to see any fault on his part and just blame the bills. have you ever been an employer? you're clueless.

There is nothing confirmed we are talking to him.
Agreed. Moreover, at least the Bills are making it sound as if Peters and his agent, Eugene Parker were the ones who were making it difficult to even talk simply by their unavailability.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

he does have a contract.
You have no clue if he's failed to contact the Bills.
He has PROVEN that he is a pro bowl left tackle, and that honor came despite missing the last game of the year, and playing on a team with a losing record.. That's how good he was, and that's what happens with Jason Taylor calls you the toughest player he has to go against in the NFL last year.
And I never said Peters doesn't have any fault in this. I've said he should at least report to camp and then leave if he doesnt get what he's looking for, if that's what he wants to do.
but I also don't just look at from a fan's point of view.
He should report for what? So he can have a freak injury before he gets a new deal, like LeCharles Bentley and then NEVER get his lifetime contract??
This organization is full of ****.. Its always SOMETHING that prevents this team from having a real shot.
THey get all this Toronto money to make us more "viable". We're a few dozen billion under the cap.. We have a 26-year year Pro Bowler playing what is inarguably one of the three most important positions in the NFL (DE, QB) who wants a contract on par with the best, and we're willing to put Patrick Estes or Jeremiah Bell out there in a game before we give him his money, because we don't want to "set a bad precedent"
Where's all this money going? NO deal for Peters. No extension for Evans.. No extension for Crowell. We extend Butler and Kyle Freegin Williams? That didnt even make a dent in Ralphie's pocket or our cap..
Piss on Ralphie Wilson.. I said it before and I'll say it again. I'll take my chances we have an ownership group that will keep the team here and actually care about winning football games.

I have heard the media and our own players call Peters the "best player on our roster".
Just last week Ross Tucker said he was our "best player by alot" on Sirrius.
Who's better??
I think Lee Evans is a better player. I think T. McGee is. I even think Schobel would be with a better DL (maybe we get that this year). The prospects are even there that Poz and Lynch will be better players. So much focus and attention are paid to Peters because he is a LT. I'm more upset that they haven't gotten anything done with Evans - a guy who has never caused a problem and is here and contributing.
