Green Lightning

All that action by the Browns and Jake is their QB? He may have a 80% completion rate between his recievers and the defenders each catching a lot of balls. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Acclaimed? He's a blogger. Hell, I'm old but acclaimed then. I say we're going to help ourselves by picking up a mid level FA or two and draft smartly. That's the plan and all of you who want the big FA splash, go back and revel in Donahoe's FA whirlwind. You'll end up back here.

I agree with your premise, but don't paint with too wide a brush. Shooting fish in a barrel? Easy to find a free satety? Nelson showed little? That's just not accurate. . Last year's draft (save Maybin and he still may show something) was damn good and is indeed something we can build on. Drafting takes smarts, patience, work, investigtion and guts. A little luck helps. Buddy's shown all of that in his track record.

Gee, that's a great idea. Let's pass on players that will start from day one and be a mainstays for a decade and instead use our first round pick for a quarterback that has to learn to throw all over again just to get drafted. Maybe after a few years he might get to play! Yeah, Tebow would be great - people know his name and he was on a commercial and everything!!!!!! I love this plan.

Yeah, or we could just sign everybody and fans can vote on who stays. Coaches are overrated.

Why the Hell to you waste time on this board? If you're a fan, you say we. We get the business end of the NFL. We get that the team could be gone, yatta yatta. But the fun part of this is following the team. I've been doing it for 47 seasons and I've had many near bouts with depression. I've critcised and bitched out coachs, Ralph, GM's etc. But at the end of the day, it's my team and I'm going to say "we" til it ain't so any longer. It's called being a fan. What the Hell are you? If you hate everything about the team why are you on this board? Go follow the Argos.....

Throw the guy a bone. I understand his desire here. I too am sick of most of the posting brain-dead on this page who just say we'll suck, blah, blah. But let's be realistic. If we sign Kennedy and draft a NT, it's still a line with two DT's (Stroud and KW) who haven't played DE. It's two DE's (Maybin, Kelsay or AS) who have never played LB. It's not clear they can make the switch. in Maybin's case, he's got to prove he belongs on the field in any position. It's going to take a few years to get the right people on the bus and playing together. I will bet the ranch we play more modified 4-3 sets than what you would call a basic 3-4 this next year. It's going to be a rebuilding year. After 47 years following the team, that's a tough thing to face. But, hey guys, man-up and let's let Buddy get it done.

Good one. Schopp, Bulldog and Sully often sound like three guys having to do a talk show after a plaster-of-paris enema.

Ummm, maybe he contributes on ST. I guess we need bodies in camp to compete.

Jesus Beavis, calm the Hell down! It's going to be a long season - and if the Pats trying out Josh freakin' Reed puts you over the top now you're going to have a restraining order put on you you by week 3!

He's a penetrating DT not a low to the ground, wide body NT. He's tall and about 300 to 310 pounds. So no, I'm not disappointed in him. He's durable and our best lineman. He may play nose in certain situation, but he's not a NT. He may be better off dropping a few pounds and becoming a DE.

The California qb's we had didn't suck because of the cold, they sucked because they sucked. They couldn't read defenses, held on to the ball too long and lacked nerve to throw more than five yards. Those that left here still sucked and those about to leave will not improve because of a lack of snow. This is just about talent and not weather.

I didn't know free agency was over.

Bannan was a Bill once and servicable. Not the answer. Green....maybe. But Jamal Williams would have looked great in a Bills uni. Wish Buddy would have pulled the trigger on that. The guy is a beast. He would give us some years to groom a successor at NT.

It's a good signing. He sounds no better or worse than Brad Butler and a lot better then the tomato soup cans that filled in after Butler went down. He sounds like a very competent back up and fill in starter while we look for a fnal answer. To all the doom and gloomers....this is how you build depth. So shut the pie holes and understand what Buddy's doing.

Thanks for the link bandit! Great article and I hope all the "sky is falling" posters on this page take the time to read it and to calm the Hell down. This is a time for patience and smarts and we gotta give Buddy the benefit of the doubt.

Draft this guy in the first round, it's a no brainer!!!!! Umm, no. Anytime someone has to completely remake himself and relearn how to throw a few weeks before teh draft....you're officially a "project" and we have had enough of them. I'd take him in the 4th round and work on him for a few years. Colt McCoy was a winner as well and a better prospect. Our first round choice has to play right away and contribute. So, Jesus Beavis, calm down!

I for one try to remain optimistic, but let's be honest. Last season many of us felt the O-Line would be just a disaster....and it was. It was pretty obvious that it would be so. This season, I'm all about rebuilding. I expect us to suck..flat out suck... for more than half the season. Then I'm hoping for steady improvement and growth. So I'm with Buddy and the boys on rebuilding....but I understand why some are so negative. I've followed the team since 1963 and have seen some of the worst football teams, FO's and coaches. But I'm a Bills fan and I've got a good feeling about this latest rebuild. But let's not be goofy here The fact is we will suck....but will get better. To the Uber negatives....you can spend you life looking backwards or looking ahead. Go Bills.

I'm with your general feeling here and agree with your original post....but don't tell me Bolden isn't worth the two picks they got for him. He'd look great in a buffalo uni.

Williams goes to Miami given the Ferguson suspension.

+1

Yeah, if Vick were white, electrocuting and torturing dogs would be the new national pastime.....damn racists....

It's bad enough to just suck but to seriously suck? Well, that just sucks. I don't know guys, after a decade of just sucking, a seriously sucking year maybe the first step towards being good, then seriously good.

A friend of a friend saw Nix at TOPS and he bought some Clauson pickles. He could have grabbed Weber or another brand but took Clauson. That's a pretty clear sign he's leaning towards taking you know who from Notre Dame.............
