Catmanjax Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Nix and company started with a team that didn't win for years,lots of roster spots and cap room not to mention a restless fan base. How would you describe their teambuilging approach:creative,aggressive,patient,lame.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_wag Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 cheap........there was talent out their this off-season that would have upgraded the roster, and they chose to not even TRY to sign it which is nothing new of course - this has been going on for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they been here 10 years? What is strange is how the same people complain about everything and yet they are still here every year. The NFL has 31 other teams. Pick one.

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Although the path we are on looks bleak right now, like what we will be and accomplish in the near future! Hang in thier everyone and look at the big picture. Getting younger, bigger, faster and I believe it will come to fruition starting next year and last for the next decade with a couple of championships in there!! One can only dream right!!

But this was Nix's call, not Ralph. This was not a money move. This was picking our newer WRs over an aging vet. It was a gamble move but one that might pay off in the long run, not that you will be around to care. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catmanjax Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 The question is about the FO. I thought they were old school,run the show type guys. They say winning is the bottom line.

How good of a job have they done improving our roster? Agreed but atleast let the season start and play out a few games before we damn the whole team. I think the team will improve a lot as the season goes on esp. on the defense. All I'm saying is to atleast see some games before we condemn the whole season! Keep the faith everyone!!

If this was a money move why did Ralph pay Evans so much for two years then get rid of him when he was going to make next to nothing the last two years Seriously people here get so wrapped up with pissing and moaning they don't even think things through!

Do we hope that the Bills strike gold with that 4th round pick? Do you want to see a list of their 4th round picks over the last few years? Just not sure what they were trying to accomplish here.

If they kept Evans then we lose a Donald Jones or Naaman Roosevelt. If Gailey thinks these guys are worth keeping then why hang on to a guy who is on the backside of his career? Is trading Evans risky? Yes. But the payoff is that these new guys turn into a solid receiving corps. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
