He didnt even play hard because of the contract. Hes a LT, hes the last position you want to not play hard. Trent couldve got knocked out of some of those games because JP didnt like his f-in contract. Are you now happy hes gone?

i agree he is a piece of ****.

however if this front office showed a more serious approach to winning. maybe some of these bills players attitude towards winning and trying would be much different

Re: Tim Graham Blog: Peters Did not play hard because of contract

I kept an open mind when watching his news conference. He did come across very poorly.

I believe he thought a Philly presser would be nothing but a welcome aboard with positive, softball questions.

Doesn't exactly say he didn't play hard. You have to read into it a tiny bit to get that.

Well since everyone want's to give the FO a pass I'd remind you that if the Bills offered the 8 million a year last summer he'd be here and we would be talking about improving our team instead of draft Peters replacement.

You can't pay your best player behind a Raider's castoff and Dockery and expect that there are no repercussions.

We'll see how "greedy", scummy", "fat slobby" and selfish he looks after the 2009 season ends.

I guarantee our line is going to be horrible and I bet Peters play flawlessly next year.

Re: Tim Graham Blog: Peters Did not play hard because of contract

Regardless of how you feel about the situation this quote should piss everyone off:

Peters was asked if his contract situation affected his play last year.
"A little bit," Peters said. "I was thinking about it sometimes. If you get beat on a play and you think about your contract ... It doesn't affect me that much. I thought about it some early in the year, but later on in the year it wasn't a big deal."

Bingo. Thanks for not acting like the FO didn't have anything to do with this.

I believe Peters just wanted to b recognized as the best player on this team. I think he felt aggravated that guys likes Dockery and Walker were making more moeny and it started to take his toll on him.

Some guys are very egocentric that way. It's a respect thing. I really think that Peters contract was fair. 60 million over 6 years with only 24 being guaranteed is not an unfair contract.

I believe he was surprised that he was traded and I think it was purely about the money.

Everything I've heard on ESPN and Sirrius radio is that Bills couldn't justify the contrcat in their small market. Not that he sucked or wasn't worth the money. The Bills haven't addressed the issue publicly because they are going to look like losers unlees a miracle happens between now and the end of the draft.

It's still amazing, ESPN, provides you proof, and your still blind. Whether or not you agree with the trade, his quotes should make you mad. You never want a guy, that takes plays off...
So, if you have a co-worker that doesn't do their job, because they don't think that they get paid enough, and YOU suffer for it, are you going to defend them as well?

Re: Tim Graham Blog: Peters Did not play hard because of contract

did anyone take umbrage with Andy Reid's comments of "they left him on an island."

Does that mean that our protection schemes were different and he was asked to go one on one more, or is he saying, "their team sucks, and poor peters had to deal with that?"

If its the later, i hate andy reid.

Truth hurts.

You've met me in person. Do I seem like a guy that doesn't want the Bills to do well? Hell, I flew in from Atlanta to watch them play and I met you.

This is about winning and getting rid of Peters does not help that happen no matter how you want to spin it.

The Bills have 7 days to show me something or you'll really hate my posts.

No, actually. I'll really enjoy the 'ignore' feature.
