The Cincinnati Kid Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What a way to build a team... Not being able to resign players ... Having them leave when they are at the height of their careers and getting better. Buddy Nix is out of date with the rest of the NFL teams. Others are filling rosters with quality players while Nix looks to add to the team with players other teams are willing to let go. How many quality players have the Bills seen go to other teams when their contracts were up? Why is the front office so dysfunctional when it comes to re-signing quality players who management wants to keep? Losing is becoming a tradition with the Bills and the fans are really tired of it.... But lets feel better and listen to the spin doctors tell us things will get better.....We have been hearing that for over 11 years now...... Don't you love when they tell us how they will make the team better and then see them fail at it? Ouch Another Year down the drain....... Only some dramatic moves on Nix's part now will change my mind... Moves that will show they want improvement now and not wait ........ PS... They have the money to do it.... I just want to see them start winning and stop being the leagues laughing stock... Maybe all those years on the West Coast for Buddy led him to a conversation or two with Billy Beane. Perhaps its a Sabermetrics approach to the NFL game that he is taking with the Bills. Extreme analysis of every scenario and impact of every play. Maybe he isn't as crazy as he seems, and maybe the difference between Poz and Sheppard is an average of 12 yards per game... Does that make a huge difference? I don't know. Read the Book..Moneyball by Michael Lewis. It'll change the way you watch sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is why you have to learn to enjoy the entire sport instead of putting all of your football happiness into your favorite team. Especially when your favorite team is the Bills. Not too long ago we were worried we wouldn't even have any games come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What players have the Bills let go and not been able to re-sign? This year Poz? - They made an attempt to re-sign him and he went to the team willing to grossly overpay for him and play in the defence he feels more comfortable in (the 4-3). He was an adequate player (never spectacular, never sniffed a Pro Bowl) who was often injured. Sucks he left creating a hole, but he is replaceable Whitner? - he was practically run out of town by the fans here the second they drafted him Previous Years Clements? - Wanted to test FA and got what he wanted, to be Grossly overpaid, hasn't been the same since leaving Winfield and Williams? - That was about a decade ago Lynch and McGahee? - Both were traded by the team, and the Fans were pushing for these guys to leave because one insulted them by not gushing over how the City of Buffalo is far better then NY or LA, and the other the fans thought of as a thug and were worried he would be suspended if he stayed longer Losman and Edwards? - Do I need to write more? How many players have the Bills drafted and let walk have gone on and had better careers elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
