The Big Cat Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Haha, yeah. That's that, I guesss.
Estro Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 They didn't really have to keep him. We have so many good DBs right now. Yes, but do you understand that if the Bills had decided to keep him at the conclusion of the 2007 season then there would have been no need to draft Leodis McKelvin. This means we could've used the #11 pick to help improve the team other than the secondary. How about Ryan Clady who was picked after McKelvin? That's what so many fans don't realize. Yes, we have a good secondary, but we wasted picks to replace guys that we should've resigned. Once they drafted McKelvin the decision had pretty much been made that Greer would walk. Greer had other plans though, after a great 2008 season the Bills were forced to at least make it look like they were serious about resigning him. Ultimately they offered a contract that was a dollar too short and a day too late, and Greer decided it would be better for him to test FA (good move on his part). I believe had Greer ended up resigning with us we probably wouldn't have had the resources to resign McGee after this season and Drayton Florence likely is never targeted by the Bills this previous offseason. The right move by the Bills, though, would've been to resign Greer in late '07 or during the season '08, not draft McKelvin, and then resign McGee like they did. I like the combo of McGee, Greer, and #11 pick not named McKelvin much much more than McGee & McKelvin.
Doc Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Let me guess. Greer was supposed to be covering White, right?
Ray Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Who is that running past Greer? I really liked him as a CB but McGee is better and we signed him. You cannot sign everyone. 7M a year for Greer seems a bit much. Great person and great player though!
Mark Vader Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 mcgee>greer/greer>Mckelvin Of course Greer>McKelvin. Greer's been in the league for 6 seasons, McKelvin only 2 seasons and is on IR.

Great person and great player though! 4 years for $23 mill comes in a touch under 6 mill per year, which I agree is a bit too much for Greer. But had the Bills extended him the offer they extended him (5 years - $20 million, with a good chunk of that guarenteed) 12 months prior he would have signed it, no doubt.
Dan Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Watching this game is just pissin me off. The disparity between these teams and the Bills is beyond laughable. Matt Ryan just completes a skinny post pass 19 yards down field in 2.1 seconds. Brees actually practices with his WRs to get their timing down. Our guys get the day off and do conference calls.
Mark Vader Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Pretty blatant shove by White. Looks like the officials are making up for the non-call of interference on the Saints when Greer made the pick-6.
Heitz Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Wow this has been a fun game - amazing what it's like to watch two competent teams play. That mouthpiece story was really interesting, I'm going to have to look into that tech...
Heitz Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Ha - there's a signature T.O. Pure Power Mouthguard: http://www.makkaradvantage.com/signature-s.../terrell-owens/
/dev/null Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Wow this has been a fun game - amazing what it's like to watch two competent teams play. Was a great game I got a chuckle on that reviewed fumble before the 2 minute warning when Gruden exclaimed "Tuck rule!"
DrDawkinstein Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Congrats to Jabari. but watching this game... its not only him. here we have a great game between 2 very good, well respected teams. and how many buffalo connections can you draw? Greer Gregg Williams Mike Mularkey we tried to get Gonzalez people here were calling for Turner and Shockey Greggo has said recently that he wanted to draft Brees in Buffalo shoot, even Anthony Hargrove has made a play tonight lot of talent out there tonight that has been through, and/or should be in Buffalo... add Coy Wire to my list...
Heitz Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Wire with the big onside kick recovery!? Unreal...
Heitz Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 ha ha - well that was a fun one, worth staying up for without a doubt!
aussiew Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Kinda fun watching decent football. I miss Jabari.
BuffOrange Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 "Jabari Green with the pick". "FG is good with 11 seconds left". "Atlanta is one of the beest 4-3 teams you will ever see". Congratulations if you had the 'over' on 2.5 Stuart Scott mistakes in a highlight.
benderbender Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 All I want for Christmas is a new owner, a real GM, and a respectable coach.
