VADC Bills Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) The front office has taken the year off when it comes to building the team. They have done this under the guise of saying you build through the draft. Well you build through the draft as well as free agency. When people are available that fits your need, you go after them. Nix is looking extremely over his head when it comes to building a team. I expect nothing will be done in the offseason outside of the draft, who can trust these guys to draft the right players.

Bangarang Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Wow...we lost Thaddeus Gibson??? I can't freakin' believe it!!! How many Pro Bowls was it he played in again??? Is our linebacker corpse so good that we should ignore any opportunity to try and pick up young talent with upside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Trooth Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Don't worry guys. If you are bummed about The Bills not getting Thad Gibson, just wait. The Jets will cut Vernon Gholston after the season. Really, other than the differences in their salaries, there ain't a dime's difference between the two.

drewfla Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Who was changing Buddy's depends today? You're supposed to wake him up first so he can pretend to do his job. He was a rookie that cost nothing. He is so incompetent it is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 And how much time was it you spent scouting him? Did you even hear of him before today? I'm not saying the guy is going to come in and completely revamp our defense. All I'm saying is that with how bad our LB's have played this season that it couldn't hurt to see what someone else could do for us. Who knows, we might get lucky.

CSBill Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Can we throw Maybin in with the 49er's too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I know that this board wants the Bills to grab every player available, but since we have Whaley and still decided not to grab him, maybe he's not all that. I know it's not fashionable to defend the FO, but if only San Fran and Philly put in a claim, we may not be looking at the next Ray Lewis here.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Is our linebacker corpse so good that we should ignore any opportunity to try and pick up young talent with upside? Oh, wow, was that deliberate or the best-ever Freudian slip perfect for Halloween? I don't like to pick spelling or grammar nits, "corpse" is just the perfect Halloween-tide description of our linebacker corps. Linebacker corpse, gotta love it!

Did you say corpse? Well at linebacker on this team you might not be far off. I see it was brought up already. That's what I get for not continuing on down the posts.

Punch Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 How many rookie NCAA DEs (Gibson was a DE in college not a LB) are the Bills going to transition to OLB in one season? Why is the only possible explanation for the Bills to not claim him that they were "asleep at the wheel" and "not paying attention"? Do the Bills need to sign every single player that is put on waivers? Have they not established that they are constantly tinkering with the roster by cutting, trading, and signing multiple players nearly every week? For the record, Doug Whaley did not work for the Steelers when the 2nd Coming of LT, All-Pro Hall of Fame NFL veteran linebacker Thaddeus Gibson was drafted. It's possible he scouted him last year, but he was hired by the Bills in early February. I would have liked the Bills to claim Gibson, but the fact that they did not means absolutely nothing. Just like Joique Bell being plucked off the practice squad by Philadelphia. Boy, he sure has ripped up the league since he joined the Eagles! What a senile old coot that Nix is! If only that skinflint Ralph would spend money on caffeinated coffee and alarm clocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
