Buftex Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Buuuuurrrnnnnn That is awesome...seems like the Ravens fans took it in good stride...of course, the article fails to mention that he played for the Ravens, which makes it all the more funny, IMO.

He is just another player in a long list of good talent that we didn't resign. It's frustrating to most because they want to hate them despite continued success and even worse probowl appearances. McGahee, Lynch, Jim Leonard, Jason Peters. These guys perform year after year. Smart people realize that they weren't no talent bums. They were good players that we let go to make new holes to fill. The Bills are like some weird prison road chain gang or a circle of hell where we are doomed to dig ditches in a pot hole filled road and refill those ditches back up for all eternity while we never fix the actual pot holes. Dig the hole by letting talent go and refill the hole with new draft picks while the road itself never gets any better because we are to busy digging and refilling ditches instead of repaving or filling the pot holes. This problem has existed through many different front office personnel groups and coaches. What remains the same? The guy at the top. FREE YOUR MIND!!!

McGahee made his 2nd and likely last Pro Bowl, out of a 9-year career. And as you admitted, he never really wanted to be in Buffalo. As for Lynch, he needed to grow up/a change of scenery. It's a shame he didn't grow up faster, otherwise he'd still be in Buffalo. Peters' case has been well-documented. But Jim Leonhard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with lynch - from what I hear you'd be wrong if you think he's walking the straight and narrow now. Could still be just a matter of time. If he's popped on something in the offseason it really re-frames the trade, just as his strong finish this year did. He's also a FA - so who knows if he would've had any desire to sign in buffalo and even if he did can you bank on him longterm at big dollars.

Doc Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 seriously. leonhard over greer & fletcher? True, although none of them made the Pro Bowl, which was the gist of the thread. Also with lynch - from what I hear you'd be wrong if you think he's walking the straight and narrow now. Could still be just a matter of time. If he's popped on something in the offseason it really re-frames the trade, just as his strong finish this year did. He's also a FA - so who knows if he would've had any desire to sign in buffalo and even if he did can you bank on him longterm at big dollars. I was more talking about being a professional. Lynch reportedly admitted to not watching film until he went to Seattle. As for the off-field stuff, if he's still doing stuff that could get him in trouble, then that was the reason the Bills rightfully traded him.

Danny Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 While i agree that the Bills need to do a better job at retaining their quality players, im not sure i understand why Lynch for example seems to get so much love (seems to me at least). Im trying to say this nicely as to not offend anyone; but imo he isnt a great back at all. He is above average at best and although he finished strong its his contract year. I was happy to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about the same McGahee, the one who sat on the sideline eating a friggin ham sandwich with the playoffs on the line against Pittsburgh? I don't hate Willis, but he will never live down that hilariously awful WTF?! moment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My buddy used to drive players around in golf carts at St. John Fischer. Said McGahee was always a hoot. Believe it or not, these guys are human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quot If the management team had wanted to build a winner in Buffalo he would have stayed. He didn't want to be on a loser that's all and neither did all those other guys that left. Who the f wants to be in the city of Green Bay? Nobody. Who wants to play for the Packers? Everybody. Its not about the city its about the commitment to win. We have only had that commitment from management for about 6 years from '88 to '94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I wish I could find the interview online but my favorite Mcgahee moment was an interview on NFLN with him Edge James and Clinton Portis. Rich Eisen was talking to them during pro bowl week back when Mcgahee was playing for the Bills. They were all high as !@#$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
