billsfan_34 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have this feeling that our Bills are extremely close to "turning the corner". I have read some posts on here that suggest 2-3 years but I dont see it. Next year with an addition of a bonified TE, a solid RT,(maybe wang?), DE, LB, and we are really looking like a wild card team. Thoughts????

EndZoneCrew Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thoughts???? If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might go 7-9 next season and some day we might even go as high as 9-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that made you feel better. Merry Christmas Me, too! I think we might go 7-9 next season and some day we might even go as high as 9-7. 9-7 would be good...but tough to get in the wild card at that record.

My only thought is how in the hell do you assume we can add a TE, RT, DE, and LB in one offseason? I have been asking for upgrades at TE, LB, OL, and DE since 2002 and am still waiting. But maybe this is the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope thats all....it seems NIX/GAILEY have a vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 A few in free agency and a solid draft. Lets just hope thats all....it seems NIX/GAILEY have a vision. While yes I have been impressed with the dumpster diving this year, I still struggle to see any vision. And this is why - 2009: Fred Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, J. Bell, 9th overall pick 2010: Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, practice squad RB of the week, 4th round pick. Exo-facto we traded Lynch/Bell/9th overall pick for Spiller/4th rounder. Someone please try to spin that as an "improvement". Nix went into this season and used a top 10 pick to make our RB position worse. The doesnt scream building a championship roster to me. That seems more like making a couple random, unrelated decisions without an overall goal or plan in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember Lynch is one bonehead move away from a long suspension. And his vision for finding the hole was suspect...he did run extremely hard thou. I dont think spiller was a bad pick...just get the O line better and the kids gonna be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we address the run defense and get a rabid pass rusher on board, we just may end up duking it out for a wild card spot next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think speulation about Lynch should justify drafting Spiller. ANy 4th roud RB could come in and run the ball - or we could have keep Bell or Simpson. I have my reservations about Spiller, because RBs that cannot soak hits and break tackles never succeed in teh NFL, and Spiller doesnt break tackles like that. Also, SPiller is showing the same inability to read his blocks that Lynch struggle with. One play I really noticed has an off tackle run to the left, Corey Mac had a nice kick out block and SPiller didnt turn up field, but just ran outside the block and lost a yard. It was very obvious he shoulda went upfield. O well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1B4IDie Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) A respected coach was interviewed about how he accessed a team throughout the season, I can't remember who Parcells or Gruden or The Jaw, They said they broke the season down into 4, 4 game periods. In each period there were goals set for the team and there were personal decisions and grades. 1st QTR 0-4, F 2nd QTR 0-4 (2 OT losses and a shoulda won) D+ 3rd QTR 2-2, C 4th QTR worst case 2-2, my prediction 3-1 (NJ SUCKS are going down) or a Goal Post tearing down, streak ending 4-0. C, B+, or A When you break it down that way you can see the improvement. Hopefully that can carry over to 2011. I think so. Edited December 21, 2010 by Why So Serious?

Phil Hansen Forever Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I don't see us making the playoff's next year, but I do think we will have a winning season, provided we improve the following areas: We build an awesome defensive We draft a decent and reliable TE We continue to build a big front four and We learn that man to man coverage doesn't work, and we need to blitz Brady and put him on his ass a few dozen times.

CosmicBills Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 What sucks is there won't be football in 2011. Which will slow everyone's learning curve/chemistry down. And make it harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
