bills in va Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was just waiting for this excuse. I knew it was coming and now that he said it confirms my belief that Nix seriously screwed up this offseason by not addressing the O-Line. Gailey says in an article from Chris Brown yesterday that: a QB can't throw downfield while he's scrambling for his life or lying on his back, we got to protect better (paraphrasing). They are already using the poor oline as an excuse for Trent's failure to throw past 4 yards. I know we played w/o some starters on the oline Friday night but doubt Cornhole Green would do much better. The fact that Nix did nothing to shore up our oline this past offseason will kill this team, something I've been saying since the draft ended . The Bills have alot of money to spend, no cap, no Schobel, small payroll; would it kill them to bring in a Flozell-Jamal Brown-Marcus Mcneil etc. Damit Ralph spend some money and get us some NFL tackles! Nix get out of bed before noon, put down the Metamucil, pick up the rotary dial phone and do something-Oh Yeah it's too late for this year so go back to bed.

RayFinkle Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Who are the lineman they should have signed to big money contracts this past offseason? I want them to improve as much as the next guy, but I don't remember any big name tackles being available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Gailey/Nix have no one to blame but themselves. Even if that quote is from months ago, they knew full well we needed OL and QB help above all else. They neglected both and took a huge gamble on the luxury pick Spiller above a potential franchise Qb and/or building the OL. They passed on Clausen and more quality OL prospects in round 2 also (at least Troup was a need fill). To argue that there "was no value at OL/QB" at our picks of 9 and 42 is assinine. Now their beds are made and they will have to sleep in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 That quotation was taken from shortly after Gailey was hired. So your saying this quotation from this article was taken months ago, because If so, there's no indication what so ever of that being the case in the article.( which is a bit misleading ) http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/sports/3406941/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsox Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ugh, This team has become such a joke. It's utterly ridiculous to root for this team, when they hire 70 year old GMs and retreads as a HC no one wants. This is gonna be an ugly season. They got no OL or QB. 0-16 might very well happen.

zow2 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ugh is right! i see Peyton Manning rushing his throws and he still manages to complete them while taking a hit. Let's scrutinize Aaron Rodgers, Roethlisberger, RIvers, Eli, etc... These guys are scrambling for their lives and still make plays! NO TEAM has a flawless O-line. QB's still have to make plays. I'm not saying the O-line doesn't need to get better but the QB's here give them no help whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I just tried to locate the original quote to see If their identical, I remember him saying something along the same lines not to long after he was brought in.

DanInUticaTampa Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Who is getting abused in Pittsburgh. I would have thought he would have been ok for a 1 year deal as a stop-gap player.... but after seeing him in pittsburg, we dodged a bullet with that one.
