Acantha Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Tried to search for this since I'd guess it's been brought up, but there's a lot of posts about Evans. Evidence: In 2003 we split with the pats* In 2004 we drafted Lee Evans From 2004 - 2010 we lose every game to the pats* Lee Evans is traded in 2011 Curse lifted Either that's one serious unlucky streak, or Evans was traded after being caught sending practice tapes to old Billy boy.

KD in CA Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 In 2004 we drafted Lee Evans Instead of Vince Wilfork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I was going to blast this thread and it's certainly a 'bit much', but there is a deeper point in there. The players who aren't willing to sell themselves out to win are gone. Whitner was willing to talk a big game, but he never followed it up. He played his game, but he never went outside of it. Lee was the same way, great guy, fast and good talent, but could not 'break out' of his game. I think we're seeing 'more complete' players versus guys who do 'one' thing like 'have a great first step' brought in...it's a lot like the what the Patriots do..

John Adams Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 come on: Didn't you see the breakdown here of how every TD scored last season was due to using Lee Evans as a decoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanix have built a team around guys that are passionate about winning and all about the team... Freddie, Fitz, Nelson, Johnson, Williams, and and and.... they leave it all on the field.

Add Poz and Stroud to that list of good guys who just didn't have what it took out on the field to win games and were apparently satisfied with losing. That is the biggest change ... these new Bills believe they will win and I think they are not going to be satisfied with anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlovers Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) I think we're seeing 'more complete' players versus guys who do 'one' thing like 'have a great first step' brought in...it's a lot like the what the Patriots do.. more complete like when donald jones let the ball go through his hands causing an int???, i remember evans being the sole difference in alot of wins throughout the years. why cant people accept that evans played hard but had a terrible coach and qb for almost his entire career? this line of thinking is without logic and totally retarded Edited September 26, 2011 by loserlovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 FYI Lee Evans didn't play today. His replacement, Torrey Smith, had 5 receptions for 152 yards and 3 touchdowns. So basically, Lee did a hell of a job playing decoy on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 more complete like when donald jones let the ball go through his hands causing an int???, i remember evans being the sole difference in alot of wins throughout the years. why cant people accept that evans played hard but had a terrible coach and qb for almost his entire career? this line of thinking is without logic and totally retarded If you're going to take a shot at Donald Jones, today, you're on the wrong side of the argument.

Are you implying that Lee Evans is a bad player? I didn't say that. I said he was not versatile. Do you feel Lee Evans is known for going over the middle? Lee Evans had the same coach and QB that the current receivers have.. I'm also confused on how Donald Jones dropped passes come into play here.

Peter Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Lee is able to change the whole dynamic of a game without even playing. That's how good the guy is . . . running straight ahead. FYI Lee Evans didn't play today. His replacement, Torrey Smith, had 5 receptions for 152 yards and 3 touchdowns. So basically, Lee did a hell of a job playing decoy on the sidelines.
