Damn it. Why the hell can't the Bills use NFL Europe like some other teams do? It would be a great development league if used right. Send Freddie Smith, Dylan McFarland, Jason Peters, Constantin Ritzmann, Jabari Greer....

Because they'll be tired out before the NFL season. Most the players you mentioned as used alot.Originally posted by LOSman WINSOriginally posted by Prov401Originally posted by better daysComment

Pochman has a strong leg but really sucked it up when he was in San Fran. If he can get some accuracy in Europe maybe he'll challenge Lindell.Originally posted by paladin warriorComment

You sound like you've been reading some of theblackbear's previous threads on how Tom Donahoe doesn't respect NFL Europe. theblackbear was at the NFL Europe National Camp in Köln Germany and there were European players there that are better than the street free agents that the Bills just brought in to allocate to the league.Originally posted by Mikey82
What a complete waste!!
The rules of player allocation needs to be changed to prevent dumb asses like Tom Donahoe from abusing the system and/or league.
The whole point is to develop players that you will use in the future. Not just bring in stiffs off the street to meet your allocation requirements and release all of them when they return from Europe.
The NFL Europe thing is just one other example of the incompetence of Tom Donahoe.

Here's some interesting info...
New England Patriots kicker ADAM VINATIERI (Amsterdam 1996), Kansas City Chiefs guard BRIAN WATERS (Berlin 2000), Philadelphia Eagles kicker DAVID AKERS (Berlin 1999), Green Bay Packers guard MARCO RIVERA (Scotland 1997) and Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle LA’ROI GLOVER to the Pro Bowl means a total of 16 NFLEL veterans have been selected to the all-star game in Hawaii on 32 occasions.Comment

Brantley is a good athlete but was a second tier prospect coming out of college. He has some upside. If Pochman can get some consistency on FG attempts he might be able to do something. Fifty three percent won't do it though. Mostly camp fodder.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.Comment

Much ado about nothing. Also a reflection of the paucity of news coming from the Bills camp.Comment

The only player on that list that deserves mentioning is Brian Moorman. The Bills got completely lucky with him.Originally posted by Mikey82
And
Did they allocate him to NFL Europe or did they sign him after he returned from the league? theblackbear does not remember the Bills sending him there.

Didn't Plochman blow the opening game for the 49ers a couple of years ago? When they played that first game on a Thursday?Originally posted by Earthquake EnyartI remember Pochman as being horrible.

I couln't believe that the Bills never sent Travis Brown to NFLE.
Maybe they should send Aiken.
