I hope he goes on to have a great career. I really like him

Considering the fact that we need to sign about 5 more UFAs to fill in this roster, I'd say the point is moo, like a cow's opinion (Obvious friends quote)

I think we're all missing the real issue here. Why is there a womens bathroom in the facility at all? Everyone knows their menstruation attracts bears.
-
haha so funny. what a moron. now i know why nobody wants to sign him.
i have a joke for you, barnett: your NFL career is over. actually, it's not a joke...
pffffttttt...The sound of the last of credibility being released from Nick Barnett's NFL career.
You two must be real treats to hang out with on an average day. What a couple of whiners. 'MMMMMwaaaa someone made a funny and it made me sad."

Can we please at least call the guy by his name? It's Cordarrelle Patterson. It strikes me as indicative of actual knowledge of the subject when posters write passionate arguments for or against players when they don't even know their names.

As I've said a few times this offseason, it seems like the Bills are being very disciplined about appraising players and sticking to their appraisals. Players will come to Buffalo to play under the Bills terms or not at all. It doesn't look like the Bills are willing to "throw in another $300-400,000 to get deals done.
I think it's clear that the Bills are conducting things very differently this offseason on several fronts, another area being how tight-lipped and secretive they've been since the reorganization.
Anyways, my view is that the Bills are being very disciplined.
Here's the problem with that: there's no reason for a player coveted by any other team to sign with us absent overspending. They're not going to line up at the door to catch passes from unnamed rookie or Tavaris Jackson and we're not attracting anyone who is looking to come play for a winner. So while I understand the notion that the "disciplined spending" route is better in the long run, it is frustrating to sit here knowing we're restarting the rebuilding process yet again and we won't be competitive for at least 3 years. Oh and we have no idea whether Marrone will be even a halfway decent coach, but we know it will take at least 2 years to determine that, so come 2015 we could be doing this all over again.

I'm in. It's clear we're employing "suck for Luck" a couple years too late.

From the way we simply announced a press conference to sign Lawson I think it's clear they have been trying to land free agents since free agency started, just quite unsuccessfully. Players on offense won't sign until we have a QB unless we overpay and it looks like we're not going to. I dunno why D players aren't signing, other than the obvious small town, cold climate, terrible team argument. The Davis negotiations became public most likely because he was using us and hoping to get a higher offer from the redskins before re-signing. In this case silence isn't golden, I think its a clear indication we are failing at attracting anyone.

Buddy Nix locked the Bills into needing to draft a QB this draft. HIs handling of the QB situation warrants immediate dismissal. Even desperate Bills homers who only go to games as an excuse to get drunk during early hours will be hard to buy into Tarvaris Jackson, Aaron Corp and some backup FA.
I agree wholeheartedly. Making a statement like that carries the stench of fan appeasement and trying to keep his job. What it does NOT do is further the mission of this team, which is to win.
-
That article is interesting, but terribly written. I mean it's really bad.
-
As many here, I've been racking what little is left of my brain cells to try and figure out ANY possible reason why we have been so quiet in FA, especially in a FA market that seems reasonably priced right now. The only thing I can come up with is that Nix and Co are leaving so many holes on our team come draft time that teams looking to move up could possibly target the Bills since we have so many directions we can go with our 8th and 41st pick. Think about it for a second; yes, tis true that we all know that Nix is going to select a QB in one of our first two picks, but perhaps outsiders give Buddy more credit. We could theoretically select a G, TE, WR, DE, DT almost anyone will be there for us at the 8th pick, so teams like San Fran or the Vikings if they really, really want someone could see the Bills as a willing trading partner. If we start filling holes in FA, it becomes more transparent to the rest of the league how the Bills will approach the draft, and what little leverage we have is really only left when you factor in that we need almost anyone at BPA at our 8th pick, and teams will start to get antsy as the pressure mounts.
ANyone else have any other ideas why we are so lethargic this FA when, lets face it, FA are signing deals that are not out of this world.
Tim-
I was hoping this is a joke, then I saw you defend your "point."
Biddy already said some of the people we want have scheduled visits elsewhere and several of them signed during those visits. It is clear that yes, we are approaching FAs and that we have not been able to sign any of them, so we don't publicize to avoid the embarassment.
-
Hadn't seen it posted. Just fun nonsense.
-
Walker is terrible. I feel cheated after reading that article. The AFC East blog reads like a 13 year old girl's diary "Blame game is pointless... ." Oh and did anyone notice how he did a "stock watch" and only listed the jets, pats and dolphins?
-
3. Do not pay big $ to midgets.
Signing him would clearly violate Rule #3, so the answer is NO.
Negotiating with the lollipop guild is just not worth it.
-
It absolutely depends on my age. If I were in my 20s, it's a no-brainer you start and then say thank you very much and sign as a FA with a better team. 30+ look for a ring as a backup.
-
Ok dude check this s..t out... I clearly f...in named the title wrong... Here's an example for you... Your mother can clearly be a teacher and then be a stripper at night right? A person who calls himself defensewinzchampionshipz has nothing to do with anything else... Wat the !@#$ is your point?
Here's another stat for you... You put Mr. Weo and myself to fight a thousand times, I go 999-1000... The only win he gets is because I kneel on the floor and tap out on the last fight and pray to God to not let this man suffer anymore...
So, we can confirm you in fact know nothing about statistics or analogies. At this point I am shocked you spelled statistics right in the title, as you seem to be regressing with every post. It's like you're the Benjamin Button of logic.
-
Lol... The stat is that based on our recent draft history, it would be statistically better for us to have two or even three 2nd round picks rather than just one...
So... there are NO stats? Does that mean you ARE a scout?

I love to bust chops as much as most and more than some in these parts, but what a difference a year makes.
Last year at this time everyone was like a lab rat on crack pushing F5 every ten seconds. This year, crickets.
I think the older crowd here understands the basics of what's going on at OBD now. But the hotpockets crowd and the chronic naysayers and disbelievers will never shut up until they see the baby. Then, they'll be among the best fans The Bills have EVER had - just ask 'em.
You know I'm sick to death of all you sanctimonious old guys who walk around like you define class and what it means to be whatever. The "younger" crowd still sticks with the team as much as you old guys. Stop acting like you have the monopoly on fandom. Some people complain, some people drink koolaid, others lurk and some post platitudes, they're all just as valid a group as any other. So quit acting like you're better than anyone else just cause you're going to kick the bucket sooner.

The answer is Gibran Hamdan- The Chroisen One

Sorry buddy. I tried reading, but it's hard to take your post about QBs seriously when you think Thigpen is still on the team.
-
I agree it's next to impossible to sell to a wr or te with no qb in place, but the lack of news from the FO is maddening, that's why everyone is pulling their hair. No announced visits, no leaks to say we tried to get so and so, its uncharacteristic.

Instant migraine

I'm tired of hearing Glen isn't an OT. Its misinformed and obviously just a bandwagon thought read here on the board. We ARE fine at tackle. Everything else, I'm fine with. The team is doing a terrible job convincing people to care about it at all. Guess the new position has marketing guru Russ Brandon thinking about other things.
-
I wish I could argue with you but I don't have too much in the way of supporting evidence.
+1. The problem between fans and the organization is that trust is earned. The owner and string of GMs haven't done anything in the past 13 years to show they deserve our trust. So, rather than trust that "they have a plan" as many of you suggest, we just assume they're screwing the pooch again. It's difficult at this point to believe there is a plan, especially when Gibson fits the bill for an up and coming WR and we have almost no legit WRs on the roster and we don't even kick his tires.

Just figured out where I know you from. You're "that guy."
You know... that guy who writes up his neighbors to the hoa for skipping a week cutting their grass;
That guy who complains that coworkers are talking too loudly on their break.
In high school you were a hall monitor and in college campus police. The tweet may or may not have been funny but you just had to pontificate. Thanks for your opinion "that guy"
