bmur66 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 One guy on each leg, holding onto the ball and someone come flying in to lay a hit on him so he punches him. That is one bad arse dude. I don't care what anyone says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what anyone says. He was unstoppable inside the 20 when with the Bills. He is a tough guy. Seattle won the Superbowl in large part due to the Bills. Cutting Lynch, and then while needing a QB, passing on Wilson for freaking TJ Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Bottom line Lynch hated Buffalo (the City and area) and wanted out of it and the organization. So lamenting over his loss is moot. Hell even TJax who sucks hated it here and bashed us this last week or so. Its going to take a lot to change the perception of Buffalo to players. And we can't keep handing out 100 mill contracts to lure halfway decent players here or keep our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting Lynch, and then while needing a QB, passing on Wilson for freaking TJ Graham. 1) We traded Lynch because he was an idiot here and was one strike away from being suspended for a year. If Lynch handled his business in Buffalo like he did in Seattle this year, he won't have been traded. 2) Yup, the Graham over Wilson looks terrible. I think Wilson is a borderline top 10 QB but let's be honest. He doesn't have to single handedly win games in sEattle. He won a playoff game with 100 yards passing. He plays with the best D, one of the best running games, and maybe the best ST unit. He wouldn't be the same QB in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he ran hard when he was with the Bills, don't fault them for trading him based on the circumstances, and I don't think trading him is the difference in why Buffalo has not been to the playoffs since he left. I hope he gets his personal life together and he deserves a ring, he was a huge part of that team's success.

Kellyto83TD Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes halfway decent. Houston didn't make him an offer for a reason and it wasn't because he didn't fit their schemes. He sucked year one and was 'good' year 2. Now I know this is blasphemy because as soon as we sign someone they are afforded the most ridiculous excuses in history being on the Bills by the fanbase, but that doesn't change reality. Reality is he isn't worth 100 million period. The contract was another stupid move by this franchise. Now if the guy can start putting up 20+ sacks per year from here on out, sure he is worth 100 mill Still ignored is the fact it took 100 mill to get him to Sign here in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 any coincidence he went to a team where pot is legal?

yungmack Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 There was an LA Times article this weekend where Carroll said he tried to get Lynch as soon as he took the job, and that the 'Hawks contacted the Bills 5 times (!) before the Bills relented. With that much interest in him you'd think the Bills would have gotten more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Trivia Alert - in the future, if someone asks "Which NFL Quarterback was traded from one team, to another and then back to his original team and then proceeded to lead his team to a Superbowl win when time ran out?" the answer is TJax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is always the excuse from Bills fans why he was moved, yet doesn't he have a pending DUI while with the Seahawks? Shouldn't that have been strike three or did the league reset him to zero strikes when he was dealt? Or maybe he wasn't so close to facing as year suspension as everyone believes. Seattle didn't seem so worried about him facing a serious suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle didn't seem so worried about him facing a serious suspension. the dui trial is still pending. dui does file under substance abuse, not conduct though... so depending on his strikes there (i assume the drug/gun incident was a first strike) this is likely only another 4 game one.

papazoid Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) seattle took a risk and it has paid off. they also took a $8.5 mil cap hit for him this year. so that trade turned into Chris Hairston, Tank Carder AND $8,000,000 to spend.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Let's just get over this Lynch thing... Lynch played good sometimes great games in Seattle this year but he most definitely wasn't the reason why they won the Super Bowl. That defense was serious. I mean wow. The energy that they played with was a thing of beauty. No trash talking. No excessive celebration after one great play. Just smash you in your mouth football for 4 quarters. Not great one quarter or great one half of the game to only play soft in the end. Played HARD til the end. That's the team to learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Cain Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lynch is the beneficiary of being on a great team. Put Adrian Peterson on that Seattle team & I don't think Wilson would have needed to throw the ball yesterday. Lynch will be 28 this year, & in his 8th season. My take is Lynch like 95% of all other running backs will be out of the league by his 30th birthday. The one thing I'll say is when you have a player who disrespects your city with contempt then you get maximum value & send him packing. Could the Bills have done better for Lynch, maybe, but Pete Carroll & company are good at finding troubled players & "rehabilitating" them.

For a short guy having a line that holds the pocket up and a top running game.... You really could plug a lot of QBs in there and have success. I firmly believe EJ Manuel would have done just as well in that game last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We can argue all we want about Lynch, but the guy deserves some mad props for staying out of trouble and being a critical part of a Super Bowl-winning team. Congrats to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
