I realize they are not trying to suck on purpose to draft Luck of course but I think they really missed out on great opportunities to really improve themselves. I guess you have never heard of somebopdy being facetious or sarcastic? I promise to be more literal in my next thread in order not to upset you.

I got news for Luck. If he gets drafted in the top 3, it will be by a crappy team. He can wait as long as he wants, the teams at the top of the draft suck. It is not like they will reverse the order of the draft year after next so this is really kind of a silly argument. Agree with you on who knows who will be the top rated player. Jake Locker was the guy last year everybody was talking about. But I have to say, Luck looks like a great player right now. I have watched a few of his games and he is impressive.

Are we that far of??

hey, Kelsay is like a Pro Bowler in the Bills payscale

Really have to ask that question? Bills were 4-12 last year. That is not 12-4 but 4-12. They signed nobody that improves them. They actually lost their second best player on defense. So all in all a 4-12 team got a little worst while other three team in division got better. Is that help you understand while fans are f--in pissed?

This is a tight race. Unfortunatelly I think the Benguls are getting worst faster than the Bills. :-(

He will probably end up in NE for a 6 round pick in 2014

I am seriously thinking about it. Got back with Direct TV last year only to watch the bills. 600 plus is a lot to pay to watch last year's performance. First of all nowhere do I talk about Poz in my post yet half the people assume it is why I am pissed. Why do people keep thinking year after year that all the sudden we are better than the year before. We have not signed anybody that improves us. We have lost our second best defensive player (not arguing what he is worth or not worth but he was our second best player on defense). Why do a bunch of gullible bills fan believe year after year that we are getting better. We are not. 10 years of putrid results is not enough to open your eyes??? Dont bring up the F__+ing draft because every other team drafted also and most of them are much better at it then we are.

Hey Tyson. This is the Bills, we are very interested. We are talking a good 10 percent over veteran minimum. What do you think?

They stated multiple times they won't go after any of the good ones. Well any of the ones that will cost money. Too bad that most of the time those two things are corolated.

What a great summary of a SAD reality

Well he was probably our second best player on a defense that went 4-12. But you make one good point they always chose not to re-sign players that are successful. Build through the draft my -ss. The few time they are successful with a pick they let them walk away.

I agree that draft is critical to long term but a lot of the guys you listed were FA that they re-signed. The Bills don't do that when they draft players that end up successful

The only way to explain the moves or lack of from this 4-12 franchise is that we are positioning ourselves for Andrew Luck. No other explanation makes sense.

I have not bought tickets or merchandise in 4 years now. Tired of the f___ng bullcrap. Nix is happy with the tackles on the roster. He must be the only human being on the planet thinking our tackles are good enough

If they don't bring some people in, I am done with this team. I have stuck to my guns and not purchased anything from the Bills (memoriblia or tickets) for the last 4 years. I will keep doing that until they show they are serious about winning. You can't just build in the draft. New England is proably the most successfull team of the last 10 years and they get big name free agents. The draft only gives 3 or 4 potential starters each year(not by Bills standards of course) and if they are good we lose them after 4 years. So the draft only is never going to cut it. If the Bills don't address the major holes like RT and TE, I won't even go out of my way to watch the games. It will save me a few hundreds I would have spent on NFL package. People defending the build through the draft only are drinking the coolaid and supporting this team's cheap ways.

I would be so happy to finally get somebody solid at RT. Tired of trying mix of old guys and new guys that could potentially develop. Clabo fits Buffalo in so many ways. He is hard worker.

I love Kyle Williams but I would take Suh over him

O-line help? You bet yer ass. We have been trying to get by on the cheap with OTs for so long it is ridiculous. Undrafted free agents, other teams practice squad cast offs, late round draft picks? Come on! Get real! I think somebody is still trying to prove we didn't need Peters and could get the same job done with nobodies. I guess they are waiting for the law of averages to kick in and they will eventually get lucky. If you have 7 tackles on the squad you should eventually hit the jackpot and find 1 gem right???? So far we have a bunch of below average players that people keep expecting to turn it around and become great. *sheesh* Could not agree with you more. That is my biggest gripe about the Bills. The line has been neglected for far too long. Clabo would be a very serious addition. I like the Front office also. I think bringing a real DC should make a big difference also. But please spend a little money in FA and bring a couple solid contributors. Clabo, as TE and a backup QB

Saw that in first section of article

You are pretty poor at substantiating your arguments. Pears is one of 6 guys DanInUticaTampa mentioned. 3 of those were starters at the beginning of the season. Crappy ones but starters.

Thank you. While I agree that building through the draft is critical, it is not the only piece to the puzzle. Most players drafted take 3 or 4 years before they have a significant impact so that leaves you with very little payback if you are not willing to resign them in FA. The whole "building through the draft" poise from the Bills front office is much more of a ploy to justify not being willing to pay for the right components to make a team sucessful. I am happy with our coaching staff this year as we now have a DC that has proven abilities. But our defense regressed significantly last year because the front office went the cheap way with getting a completely unproven DC.

I know that very well which is why I have not purchased anything from the Bills ir gone to a game for the last 3 years. If they ever change that mentality and decide to show they are serious about putting a good product on the field and winning, they will have me back as a customer

I would love a solid TE also but I am affraid those are not allowed in Buffalo anymore I am kind of going on the assumption that Poz and Florence are coming back. Although Florence might be longer shot

The Bills would make me really happy adding one player in Free Agency. Tyson Clabo. I would probbably even drop my own imposed ban on buying Bills stuff
