    The Bills have a very Inexperienced Roster

    Great attitude, man! IMO, we know what we had with the team we put on the field last year and years prior. We didn't have a problem complaining about that, so why are we complaining about an influx of promising young talent? There is one guarantee. If you don't change, you don't improve. There are no guarantees that changes will make an improvement but there is at least the possibility. It's funny. I see a couple of injuries and a couple of preseason losses and people just completely tank their attitudes. It's just a sport. We have a big number of unknowns going into this season, but there is at least chance our team will surprise.

     

    It's going to be a wild ride for sure, but that's what I like about this sport. I for one am not going to give up. I expect our team to have that same mentality game one against the Patsies. There is no guarantee that they will beat them, but if I'm a Bill, I knuckle down and go for it.....no matter what.

     

    Yes sir!!!! :thumbsup:

    Well this team is certainly young and inexperienced, from the front office all the down to the last player. But a franchise QB can do wonders. Let's hope EJ is that guy.

     

    I have no doubt this season there will be PLENTY of growing pains, but I'm still excited and ready for the ride. This season is such a mystery. We could finally finish with a winning record, or we could win 1 or 2 games. Either way, I'm strapped in and ready to go.

     

    But the youth movement is definitely here.....let's do this!!!! :thumbsup:

    Well since they are $20m+ under the salary cap the answer is self-evident.

     

    Judging from Byrd's press conference, it appears to be pretty obvious that he doesn't want to play here. If that in fact is the case fine, let him walk rather than pay him as the top safety in the league, as he isn't.

     

    I wonder, do you think it was the same case with Levitre? I don't really remember much about any of his comments, but I didn't get the sense that he wanted out of Buffalo...

    That would be the same front office that has re-upped Eric Wood, Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson, Leodis McKelvin, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Scott Chandler and numerous others as well as shelling out serious $$ for Mario Williams and handing over 7 Million to Byrd as franchise tag recently. What is it about reality in the salary cap era that proves so confounding for some fans? You have to pick your spots in today's NFL. It is no longer a viable option to keep every player that you would have in previous decades. Give credit where due.

     

    And next year when we are having this conversation about CJ Spiller, Byrd round 2, and Dareus, will you still be lamenting the lack of an $8 Million annual commitment to a guard? Which of those 3 would you choose Levitre over?

     

    Don't get me wrong, I am happy the FO was able to extend Wood, who I believe,(if he can stay healthy) will be our center for the next decade, and I'm happy about them re-upping Stevie, and even Kyle Williams,(though he seems like he may be on the downside), and yes, paying the big bucks to go after Mario.

     

    However, with that said, I still believe they could've at least re-signed ONE between Levitre and Byrd, if not both. If it in fact is the case that neither wanted to be here, which is a distinct possibility, then God bless them both and don't let the door hit you on the way out, but, as vincec just said, they had plenty of money to re-sign both.

    Cannot believe the lack of respect for Levitre from this board

    I definitely don't think the bills will be drafting a lineman at 8, regardless of the situation. Losing Levitre, and then Rhinehart for depth, definitely was a blow. Depending on what the Bills do in the draft, and free agency, I can see the line taking a step back. If they don't replace levitre with a quality guard, I can see them suffering.

     

    Was originally thought of to be a strength could now easily be a weakness if the Bills aren't proactive. I think Rhinehart was a quality backup..
