Bills trade Peters to Philly

by Steve

Hmm, I've had all day to think about writing this and the words still aren't coming out right. Is it a travesty? A complete and total train wreck? A joke? You have a team in the Buffalo Bills that are bad. They are poorly managed, poorly coached and they lack talent. The owner is cheap, the personnel is lousy, the front office is a joke, and your draft record is spotty at best.

There have been very few if any good things the Bills have done since 1999. That one thing possibly is Jason Peters. He is the ultimate Cinderella story. He goes from undrafted tight end to a multiple all pro left tackle in five years and we give him away to the Eagles, a well run, classy, winning franchise? Interesting play.

The Bills have created a gigantic gaping hole on the left side of their offensive line. They go from an elite player who had an average '08 season to a second year nobody with two career starts (Kirk Chambers). A first and a fourth round pick? We got more than bamboozled we got ass raped BIG TIME by a much better franchise.

What is the point of acquiring and developing talent if we aren't going to retain that talent? PAY THE FUCKIN DUDE HIS MONEY. You are paying absolute atrocities in Kelsay and Schobell a combined $12 mill for what, Six sacks a season? We got major value the last two seasons with Peters so over paying him for a few seasons breaks you even. This has got to be some sort of sick fuckin joke. WOW

If they draft a OT in the first round it will make everything doubly worse. First, you are going to have to pay him a lot of money. Second he will be unproven and probably garbage. Third he will probably be a bust because this team doesn't know how to draft. Fourth, it makes our mediocrity Trent Edwards that much worse. Fifth it addresses a need that did not exist 12 hours ago. WHY get draft picks if they are filling a CREATED need? This was a dumb trade, foolish. If the Bills offered $10 mil per they obviously saw something in Peters. An extra two mil a season is nothing. It is 1% of the salary cap.


Oh and we signed Dominic Rhodes to a two year deal
