I just saw the video. Said the coaches didn't put players in the right positions to succeed. what an a-hole.

He's right though; the coaches put him on the field and much better players like Wilson and Scott on the bench.

i'm glad he said this. it's nothing us fans didn't already know. i'd love other bills players over the past few years to be as outspoken about what an utter failure the Bills organization has been.

Just a little adjustment to your wording.

but, honestly, I don't disagree with him. I think dollar signs have motivated Ralph Wilson moreso than the desire to win.

"Didn't" is the key there. It really did feel in the past that this teams owners, people drafting, and players didn't want to win. Poor drafting, bad decisions, with Donte Whitner being one of them.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. He's on a good team now with a great history. Hell I'm astonished he has an interception, maybe he really does want to win now, but as he stated before, in the past? He didn't.

If the Bills really wanted to win, they wouldn't have drafted him.

Oaf

Even now, do we have any sort of offensive or defensive identity?

Multiple fronts, running 4/5 wide with 2 proven WRs, what? It doesn't seem stable.

Who, Stevie and David? The 4 and 5 wide is usually also consistent of Freddy/CJ and Chandler, in which that leaves 3 sure handed receivers on the field with Chandler proving to be an impressive TE this year.

I agree that Donald Jones needs room for improvement, but it's not like he's a rookie in a bad situation. Ruvell Martin is actually a punchline of many jokes at my usual weekend get together. Not having Roscoe hurts admittedly, and Naaman is purely developmental...

but I wouldn't say the 5 wide is a flaw of this organization due to talent, it's a talented group.

We've all been *****ing about most of the same things the last decade around here.

That being said, he's still an assbag.

Agreed. Someone needs to tell Donte to develop some type of internal filter. Not every thought that pops in his head needs to be immediately tweeted or vocalized without stopping to think about it first.

Donte Whitner doesn't matter anymore.

He leaves & the Bills start improving..hmm..

the bills dont want to win because we replaced his ass with Wilson who is having a probowl year?

Jauron himself didn't hire him when he was looking for a job.

yes Donte.. .this was a very obvious truth when the Bills over reached to pick you at #8

as an undertalented team, this is what you have to do to find matchups that work. if you try to just show one major theme and don't have the personel to do it correctly, you will just get run over.

We just dropped a few bucks on the QB, so seeing us pay people who perform shows we're heading the right way.

big deal he was part of the DICKLESS jauron era

and hes right we didnt want to win

u could tell when they benched losman i dont care what anyone says his lone year as starter he played very solid it wasnt his fault we had the worst D and HC in the league

so i agree with whitner a few years ago the bills didnt want to win

but its a new regime that didnt have him in their plans

wilson and byrd both much better then he is

BLeonard

He's right though...

I have yet to hear or see anything regarding the Bills petitioning to move to the NFC West, where the second place team is currently 2-6 and a 7-9 team won the division last year... After all, that seems to be the plan Whitner followed.

Must be a real ***** having to compete with the powerhouses that are the Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals.

Probably why Donte pussed out on the Bengals' deal... He saw Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their division.

He was worthless on the Bills and still hate him just as much as when he was here. It's not his fault he was drafted at 8 but it is his fault that he sucked while he was here. I forgot to add, F*** YOU Donte. You too busy tweeting to play good football mother ****er.

Can he talk about how they'd be 8-0 if he didn't leave his deepest man responsibility in overtime? Cuz he should focus on his current team, not his last one.

Good idea. Have you considered developing one?

i havent heard the interview, but i would have to agree with him. when he was here, i also dont believe the team was commited to winning, and i still felt this way this season, especially after trading evans, however my opinion has changed over the last 9 weeks, and i think the team is on the upswing, and actually attempting to put a winning product together

I think that as an organization, the Bills are much more cognizant of costs than many other teams. That means that sometimes they have avoided signing players that might have helped the team because they didn't like the risk/reward balance. I don't think the Bills deliberately put themselves in a position to lose, but they lack the "win at any cost" mind set of some other teams. I think the mediocrity of the first decade of the 21st century had more to do with incompetence in critical areas; GM, head coach, director of college personnel (chief scout), than a deliberate choice to be mediocre. After all, we were drafting players like Donte Whitner and Aaron Maybin, and actually thinking they would help the team.

I did hear the interview & I agree with him as well. He talked about the Jauron Bills. Said the Bills signed a HOF WR & then let the OL fall apart.

Kind of funny he dissed Dick since he would not have all that money in the bank if not for Jauron.
