Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
My first thought was, "why would he want to re-sign here when he has a chance to go somewhere else to win?"
My second thought was "why WOULDN'T he want to re-sign here? He'll make millions, they'll be out of the playoffs by mid-November every year and then he can mail it in for 7-8 games like the rest of this POS team does."Comment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
This is one area Nix doesnt mess around with. Keep your good players.Last edited by The King; 11-30-2012, 11:01 AM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
Irrespective of anything else, this is good news. Byrd is becoming an exceptional safety, and is comfortably the best player we have in our secondary, and arguably the team. He's also one of the few genuine threats we have, to get a turnover, and seems to be involved in most of them, one way or another.Comment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
He'd be nuts to re-up now, the open market will produce a great amount of leverage which would translate to bigger money. Besides, if SF or NE came calling would you want to go back to Siberia?Comment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
TBH, I don't expect him to have any choice in the matter next year, as even if they don't do a deal with him, he will get the franchise tag. So for Byrd this year, the 'open market' simply doesn't exist.Originally posted by HAMMER View PostComment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
He sounds physced.“Sure yeah if everything works out. I have no problems with Buffalo, but I know that around this time it’s about business, so I understand that too,” he said. “I love the fans here. We just have to win. That’s the biggest thing, just winning and I want to be somewhere where I’m wanted too. I want people to want me here and if that’s the case I have no problems with Buffalo and coach Gailey. Everybody here is great.”I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside.

Sign him, also sign our OL, and while we're at it get Mario to take a paycut and get Fitzpatrick a one way ticket out of town on the MegabusComment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
I know I am biased but the Bills are not as bad as their 4-7 record. I truly think with a good head coach, QB and linebacker or two the Bills could be a very solid team. Bad coaching and QB are the downfall of the team. Man for man I do not think the 49ers are that much better than Buffalo. Difference is coaching and a QB that will not throw the critical INT.Comment

Re: Source: Bills, Byrd open contract talks
Not even that much from being good, just a qb who can make good decisions and deliver the ball. A good qb and we beat New England at New England, beat Tennessee, beat Houston, and beat Indy. That's right, if we even had a competent qb we would be 8-3 this year.Originally posted by don137 View PostComment

- 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!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
- Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here
