Fewell733 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Winfield - should have kept him Clements - no way, got the biggest contract in league history for a defender and may only now be even approaching living up to it Spikes - achilles - 2 to 3 year recovery, forget it Fletcher - wish we kept him Pat Williams - not keeping him seemed to have nothing to do with money and more with Donahoe and Greggo's hubris, his contract was going to be affordable. Peters - forget it Leonhart - would still be mediocre in our system Crowell? - he seems destined to be riding out his career on various rosters IRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Lets not forget Jabari Greer , the guy killed us in the Saints game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Lets not forget Jabari Greer , the guy killed us in the Saints game. Heck, I even saw Mario Haggan making a few plays at LB for 4-0 Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 We would be not better with Clemens (mediocre) and Winfield (big hitter agianst the run, gets covered with butter and jelly in coverage). Fletcher was a leader---or sad sack of an LB corp, heck the whole defense, could use a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the Bills is they let most of these guys walk without having a solid backup plan. AW - really liked him, wish we kept him NC - over payed, over hyped TS - too bad he got hurt, would probably still be here if not LF - i liked London, could easily still start for the Bills PW - Obviously one of the biggest mistakes ever JP - only time will tell if he is worth all the money he wanted leonhard - good player, but not a difference maker. Pretty much what the Bills have a lot of... Crowell - injured again, but was a nice player here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 One of the biggest impacts has been Sammy Morris. If you watched New England / Ravens game you would see a RB who just made critical plays at right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoName Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I typed that list really quick....I had to hurry up....the point that I wanted to discuss was this.......I just notice that when I watch some games with my girlfriend, I am always saying "oh yeah, he played for us a few years ago" and then she says " why isn't he playing for us now, he has to be better than who we currently have on our roster at that position" and I am thinking...I dont know why.....and when I see how they dropped walker and bring in washoffs from the Lions and it just makes me wonder........now for the list clements, greer and winfield are better than any CB on our roster (Mcgee vs Greer is close maybe slight edge to greer) spikes is a shell but please dont tell me he is not better than ellison crowell WAS better than ellison as well, I honestly don't know what he is doing in Tampa but I just ASSUMED that he was doing fine but if he isn't doing well, I am sure someone will be quick to take a chance to point it out Jason Peters was the best tackle we had since our super bowl days Pat Williams was the best DT we had since Ted Washington Leonhard and Scott ...no loss either way the question I am trying to raise is this, are we pushing more talent out the door than we are bringing in? Look at some of the players that left our team and compare it with some of our recent FA pickups....seems to be not even close...and this is where we are different from the better teams.......it seems like we are just cheap...not so much poor talent evaluators...just cheap cheap cheap and btw, that IDIOT that took a shot at Winfield is a fool.......name a CB better than Winfield that wore a Bills uniform?????? Clements mediocre???? IDK about that one....is he over paid? Yes ....mediocore....that's going overboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoName Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Bob James if you have to go back to Bob James (and I have no idea who that is) it tells me that obviously Winfield isn't as average as the other guy is making him out to be and good post on Sammy Morris...I forgot about him I was going to throw in Jonas Jennings but he isn't a contributor as of late I guess my feeling is if we are letting all of these players go, you want to have a feeling that you are going to get equal or comparable value coming back via FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 >and btw, that IDIOT that took a shot at Winfield is a fool.......name a CB better than Winfield that wore a Bills >uniform?????? Of course Robert James.. -but recently(relatively).. Nate Odomes...but its close...and Winfield was/is terrific.Another bad decision by a bad franchise.

Rico Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 close very close but I dont think soNot close at all. Lil Antoine showed ZERO playmaking skills and mediocre coverage skills during his time in Buffalo. To his credit, he was very good in run support, and also served as a role model to all fellow midget Bills fans who ever dreamed of making it in the NFL... but he was no Nate.
