Who is more wrong? On Peters

[X-Era]

Shefter just said that we have had no contact with him, and that Peters intends to sit out the opener and beyond. Russo said he spoke with Russ and that the Bills have no intention of even talking with Peters until he shows up.

Peters is being selfish, but hes just one guy who is only thinking about himself.

However, the Bills, not Peters, are ultimately responsible to the team and to putting a winning product on the field. How can the Bills not be MORE wrong for not working to find a solution that will get Peters back on the field?

The Bills are fumbling this situation. Peters is a douche bag for all of this, no doubt, but hes just a player thinking about himself. The Bills have the responsibility for the team, and refusing to even call him is too far beyond playing tough guy to be acceptable.

There are many, many versions where the Bills dont cave. Simply calling his agent and agreeing to begin discussion on his contract is FAR from agreeing to pay him what he wants.

This thing is gonna stay ugly for a while and it could be a long while.

Carucci just said the same thing...

Peters has had NO dialogue with Buffalo, will likely sit out the season opener and the holdout threatens to go on a lot longer.

Fine. Let him sit.

You can only do so much. If the Bills calls kept getting unanswered what do you want them to do, totally succumbe to Peter's demands? Peters and his agent are trying to set a precedence. If they succeed, the rest of the players just may follow suite. The Bills have to stick to their guns.

Re: Who is more wrong? On Peters

im telling ya, trading him tells the players that if you try to hold us ransom, you wont be on this team, and WE will decide where you go next.

Get something out of this that helps us now.

I agree!

So the Bills doing NOTHING to try and fix this after being a non-plyaoff team for over a decade, and having a pro-bowl LT is just fine with you?

I blame the Bills and their cheap ass ways.

Re: Who is more wrong? On Peters

I'm sorry, but that attitude is just goofy. If he doesn't even tell the Bills WHAT HE WANTS, how they possibly do anything?

If I'm the Bills, I give him a call on Monday. Give him one last chance to show up. Tell him that if he shows up to practice with the team, we will give him a new contract. If he doesn't, then we might as well trade his ass. I'm fine with our current offensive line. They have done a good job holding their own.

Thats not goofy, a team that hasnt made the playoffs in a decade doesnt even call their best player and try to get him on the field?

Can you actually have enough audacity to think your pride is so important that you can afford (as a perpetually mediocre team) to not even talk with your best player?

I really wish people would stop calling Peters our best player]

It's not PRIDE. It's the precedent it sets.

Re: Who is more wrong? On Peters

You want to know how the Rams got Jackson to show? They offered him a contract, until the Bills do that I hope Peters keeps holding out. It's only going to hurt us.
