As discussed ad nauseum- we have many holes- QB, LB, DE, CB TE.... oh yeah a big !@#$ing hole now at RG too. Talk us off the ledge. How do the 2013 Bills put a better team on the field then last year's monstrosity?

One or more of Kevin Burnett, Karlos Dansby, Bart Scott and Calvin Pace. My choice would be Burnett (just turned 30 and a pretty good year last year).

 

Brandon Moore and Dustin Keller of the NYets.

 

If we signed these guys and a WR (Gibson or Alexander) I'd be happy....

I was born a Bills fan 1969 and went to Rich Stadium as a baby. With the exception of the Superbowl years(heartbreaking in their own way), my 43 years of being a Bills fan has been futile

We need to find about 10 Fred Jackson clones (overachieving UDFA's). I'm serious- we need to find guys who come at a reasonable price, young, talented and coachable. Ohhh, and one other thing- they have to be willing to run through a brick wall for the coach or coordinator. They are out there, we have veteran leadership and a group of young, hungry UDFA's would at least give us something to watch as they develop. I'm ok with not signing numerous veteran FA's, saving our picks (or trading down for more) and seeing how this plays out. Marrone is a coach that players respect which equates to performance under normal circumstances- then again, this is Buffalo...but we'll see. Go Bills
