billsfan182 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 we have serious needs. starting qb, SS, G, #2 WR, and LB depth/ #1. We have the money and only 6 picks in the draft. Why is there no activity in FA? I read of no rumors or scedualed visits either. Whats going on here? why no activity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Yeah I have been posting this very same thing in the shout box. I am not one of those people who freak out if we don't pursue every top FA or don't sign someone the first day either. But this year, we have serious holes at key positions of QB WR TE LB OG and S with only 6 draft picks this year. There are a lot of value FAs out there signing for very reasonable deals and we just don't seem to even be trying to schedule visits. We have the cap room too. It's like they want to wait and pick from what's leftover rather than actually pursue some guys. Â We need a G, so why aren't we bringing in someone like Moore? We need a WR, so why didn't we explore Welker, Amendola, Alexander, or Gibson? We need a QB, they all suck, so I get no activity here. We need LB's, they singed Lawson (which was great) but that's not enough. Why not bring in some vets like Dansby? We need a TE, Keller just signed for a measly 1 year deal...why didn't we explore him or a Fred Davis? We need a S, and there are some solid value guys still left yet no reported movement. Â We need to fill a lot of spots right now, and of they grab some solid guys before they are gone this team could still be competitive next year. But if we just plan on picking through the scraps and then depend on 4th round picks and later or even UDFA rookies to fill the rest out then we are in for a long rebuilding year.

Omar Little Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) That when you freak out because things are moving too slow and ignore common sense you look foolish publicly? Both his content and execution? Just me? Â Am I to infer you think the guy is ignoring common sense by bashing the Bills' inactivity? Should he expect the Bills and Buddy Nix to do things right? If so, why? The organization as a whole has almost exclusively failed at everything since 2000, evidenced by its playoff drought and one season better than .500; meanwhile Nix has done an utterly horrible job in his GM tenure, evidenced by both the 16-32 record and the copious amounts of needs on the roster after his three years. Â Right now the Bills have cap room and, as mentioned, many problem areas to fill. Nevertheless, all they've done this offseason to address any of those problems is add a mediocre linebacker who wouldn't start for the vast majority of NFL teams. That's not good enough.

Meathead Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 outside of the super mario courtship the bills have done exactly the same thing for the last three seasons. and outside of last season the fans have done exactly the same thing - freak out prematurely  this team has clearly establshed itself as a late free agency mover. theyve even explained it point blank, that early free agency is usually a poor value compared to late free agency. their strategy has borne fruit every season as well, with good players routinely added to a roster that was as bare as its ever been here when they started  so even though there is plenty of reason to know exactly what is going on, plenty of rationale that there indeed will be free agents added to the roster, and plenty of reasons to be confident they will find some good players to fill existing holes, it still looks like a good idea to freak out and bemaon the fact that nobody wants to come here and we are doomed. and russ is cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Seriously, I know Levitre is a good player but where did the premise come from that our line will magically fall apart without him? Like Glenn, Wood and Urbik will all of a sudden not be good players anymore? Â The receivers thing is an issue and probably is what legitimately what's going on.

Malazan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 There is a plan in place. They are waiting for all the reactionary dims to panic and jump off a bridge. Then when they're gone and the rest of us can have actual conversations that don't revolve around ranting because someone had a bad day and the Bills are an easy target to vent their frustration, they will make some moves. Â So, the quicker you jump, the quicker the Bills sign free agents. Do your part to help the Bills get back to the playoffs. Ask not what the Bills can do for you, ask what you can do for the Bills (which is jumping off a bridge in case you missed it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpster dive for a couple free agents in a few weeks then they will probably reach for a QB at #8 and that guy will be a bust in three years so they won't draft a QB next year where there are potential franchise QB's available so that's two more wasted first rounders and they will be in the same spot in 2016 after 3 more losing seasons. That's what they do and have been doing for 13 years. 13!!!!! No winning record. Not once. No playoffs. None at all. All time record. No worries though, Buddy is on it.
