Bills Jersey question

[northernbillfan]

It was mentioned a while ago that we should have a McGahee jersey burning ceremony at the Baltimore game.

As an owner of a McGahee jersey, I would never consider burning it. I don't think I could ever burn any Bills merchandise.

That said if you could burn one jersey without feeling guilty which one would it be and why?

For me I would burn my RJ jersey. He cost us a real shot at a Super Bowl with the Tennessee game, tho it was Philips who put him in the game. Flutie could have and probably would have won us that game and taken us deep into the playoffs. Therefore I would not feel guilty burning my RJ jersey.

(PS it was gift from a friend who didn't know better when they bought it for me)

When RJ stepped off of the field for the last time... we were leading. If the special teams hadn't self destructed... we very easily could have won that game. To put that particular game on RJ is an injustice.

I threw away a Ricky Williams jersey I got in Korea for $10 when he quit

Re: Bills Jersey question

McGahee is the only Bills jersey that I have and would consider burning. But I probably won't. I think I'm going to get a nameplate for it or something. Hopefully a good player will wear that number someday.

Mike Williams. We gave up a lot to get him in terms of opportunity cost and paid him a ****load of money for nothing.

Billy Joe Hobert on principle.

Flutie was 0-2 in the playoffs and was more of the reason the Bills lost the year before vs Miami (6 TO's) than RJ was against Tennessee. While RJ is/was a popular whipping boy, that game was not his fault at all.

That being said, I would not burn the jersey of a player who gave his all and/or was a class act (i.e. RJ who did a ton of community work that was never publicized).

Now a guy like Hobart like Op mentioned or OJ are different stories.

You can only Clap for RJ that game ...he stepped up and ive always thought what if we won that game would RJ have gained confidence and would the team have came around him.

He got beat up that game and when he lost his shoe on that final drive idk he proved alot in that game and everything got messed up bc of our great special teams

Probably Mike Williams. It was the first jersey I bought with my own money, wore it proudly and I got pooped on.

As much as I hate the University of Texas (being a huge aTm fan) I actually like Vince Young, I dislike the Titans but I like and respect Vince, there isn't a harder working football player out there (if he is anything like he was in college.)

If I had a Vick jersey I would let my Pit-Bull have it for a new chew toy.

Re: Bills Jersey question

Young actually surprised me with his play...i like him as a player but hate the titans be more burning it bc i hate it touching my other jerseys
