Smiley Dear Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Tough break for Nelson... One of my favorite players. I'm sure he'll be back next year. I guess Easley gets called up. Really wish they would have held on to Hagan instead of Ruvell Martin who is useless as a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thats a tough blow. Figured that was the.case when he crumpled without contact making a cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanCity Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 TO or Ochocinco anyone? All kidding aside, this is very, very bad news. Nelson has good hands and a good repore with (gasp!) Fitz. He is a pretty reliable WR, something this team needs badly. Is this Easley's chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 That's a huge loss. IMO, the FO should sign a veteran FA (like Burress or Branch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Roosevelt was a pretty slippery guy in the slot. I wouldv'e liked to seen him fill this position. But how do you bypass a WR on your practice squad for a guy you cut? I guess Easley gets the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCity Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 That's a huge loss. IMO, the FO should sign a veteran FA (like Burress or Branch). Although I'd be happy to have Deion, is Plax an option for the vision that Chan and Buddy have for this squad? Not that I am defending any vision that either of them have based on yesterdays performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 @AdamSchefter Bills WR David Nelson tore his ACL - out for year. I hope they get Plaxico or another established Veteran FA and not a PS callup or Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I'm starting to think the Bills really screwed the pooch on the WR portion of the roster. This... extremely thin to even start the game. 1 injury and now we are in the same exact position as last year.. With a WR core that scares no one in an offense that relies way to much on them. Fire everyone. Also - has Stevie Johnson had a groin injury for a full year now.. how has that not healed in the off season? He is a number 2 disguised as a number 1 anyway.

5 Wide Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I actually think Roosevelt would be the perfect replacement for Nelson. A sure handed guy who settles into the weak spots and is open a lot. He's no burner, but he's good for 7 ypc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBill Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm starting to think the Bills really screwed the pooch on the WR portion of the roster. That seemed quite obvious when they ignored that position, in fact the entire offense during the off season. Once Vincent Jackson signed with Tampa they did nothing. I guess if there is a bright spot it is early enough where he should be full go for camp next year. How many weeks until the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chan Gailey wants to save his job, if he can, he better figure out how to start running the ball a lot more and throwing a lot less: Same as last year, Fitz can't throw and weak WR group.

thewildrabbit Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Leave it to this front office to go into a draft knowing that they need to either draft a good #2 WR or find one in free agency. It was a primary need, and in just like past years the Bills manage to fail at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This team really is cursed. I just knew a key guy would blow an acl and be out for the year in the opener. Was just a matter of who, not if. God hates us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmoove Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Chan said today on WGR that there is no one out there that knows the plays better than the players they have i.e. Why bring in someone else who doesn't know the plays and that we haven't already picked up. The Bills will dance with the girls they came with. The offense is now in CJ's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does CJ play receiver too, because we only have one of those on the whole roster who is NFL Caliber and his groin could end up being the same nagging problem it was last year. Sounds like they are already making excuses for another season down the drain. Edited September 10, 2012 by BuffBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) This just sux. Nelson is our best WR after Stevie. Best wishes to Nelson on recovery and hope he can be back next season. Alright TJ Graham, you want to play in the NFL? Get ready. We need to get Scott Chandler even more involved now, although I was glad to see him get several passes thrown his way yesterday. CJ, will have to get a bigger role as well. I just hope Freddy isn't gone for too long. I'd rather have CJ & Freddy than CJ & Tashard.

Bud Adams Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We need a vet. We've been hearing for years that we only want "high character" guys. Apparently, high character guys don't win ballgames with any regularity when they become Buffalo Bills. I'd have no problem with Plax at this point. What's the risk? He'll divide a losing locker room? BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is on the verge of floating down the toilet after one game, at least try to salvage it for a proven guy, with post season experience who will come at basically the minium salary.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Sucks because I really like Nelson and think he is a very good player in his role. I hope he comes back strong next year.
