  1. Horrible Idea. The season is lost. 3-4 is the direction that they are heading long term. Practice it now so we can improve quicker in the long term.

     

    PS. Troupe really needs to come up to speed quickly. His performance worries me. 1st and 2nd round picks are supposed to be contributors!

  2. The front office know what they had this past offseason and did nothing to fix it. Nix is not new to the Bills. Why do you think this offseason will be any different? The other problem is that we don't have any young talent with promise that would benefit from more playing time. Our starting talent is poor and our back-ups are worse.

     

    +1. Also our draft class from this year is NOT looking good at all.

  3. I'm seriously getting senile. I could swear that Nix was only around for this last draft.

     

    No he was around for the "Maybin Draft", but It's hard to place very much responsibility on him for that draft since other people had more say than he did. Sadly though, the way it's looking now, other than Maybinot, that draft seems much stronger than this years. Seriously, with the exception of Spiller (and excluding our injured rookies), who did we get?

  4. Although I thought going into the season we were an 8-8 team- our poor performance on the field is not what's really troubling me. Whats bothering me is the play of our rookies. Nix is supposed to be a draft wizard. He's now been with the Bills (this time around) for 2 drafts, yet who do we have to show for it??? Spiller, Wood, Levetre, Byrd maybe.

     

    The Jury is still out on all of these players. Sure Spiller has talent, but this year's abortion of a team isn't exactly the perfect show case for him. Wood and Levetre- they appear to be solid at times but would certainly look better if we had decent tackles. Byrd was electric last year but has done nothing this year. I hope he's not a one year wonder.

     

    I think I would feel much better about Nix (and the direction he has us heading) if Troupe and Carrington show a remarkable improvement. In my opinion, those are two players that we needed to make an immediate impact. Troupe was drafted with the expectation that he could develop into a NT. Is it possible that we reached on him???? If we were to get production (or significant improvement from those two) then I think we'd be in good shape. That would mean Nix took the best player available in Spiller (who will be a gem for us in the future) and filled the NT and DE position in 1 draft- not too shabby.

     

    But if their lack of production continues, then we'll go into this draft largely in the same place we were last year.

     

    I'm very worried!

  5. We're the worst team in the league. We're lucky to win a game this year.

     

    I'm not so worried about our performance on the field, I'm more worried about our FO. None of the draft picks are having any kind of impact. We'll never have good players if our FO can't get it together. So even if we go win less, we'll probably wiff on our picks next year

  6. Maybin! Are you kidding me! I just said this in another post, but here goes again! He's 22 years old. Give him time. Even if he never lives up to being taken at 9 or 11 or whatever it was, he can still develop into a reliable player. Let's give him another year before we burn him at the stake.

  7. Now that Trent is officially gone i just wonder how long it will be until the Bills faithful come out in droves to have Fitzy thrown off the team in true Bills fan tradition ?

     

    Or has it already started in some ways ???

     

    Most fans on these blogs are like a lot (not all) of women that i know -- never happy with any decision the come down the pike . It will be all right for a couple of games i predict but then all hell will brake lose & the normal "OFF WITH HIS HEAD" will start & every one on the bloggers will start complaining again !!

     

    Personally I think this should give the fans a huge positive to look upon , this shows that Gailey & Nix are moving forward and aren't just staying in one place .

     

    Hey maybe Maybins next , come on lets start on him he's a deserving candidate !!!

     

    Any way Complain on Bills Fans !!!!

     

    I hope we don't give up on Maybin so quickly. He's 22 years old for crying out loud. He may never end up being worthy of his lofty draft position, but if he can become a solid contributor, we'd be better off.

  8. Look, I certainly didn't expect us to with the SB, but after last year's abortion of a season, I figured that we were an 8-8 team +1/-2 wins. Chan at least had positive HCing experience coming into Buffalo. How on earth can this team be doing worse than last year?

     

    I understand we have a new defense, but the D is not the problem. Our O line is in shambles, but certainly better off than we were going into week 1 last year.

     

    I've watched both games, but it wasn't "quality watching" (I'm not a local any longer, so I've had to settle for watching games at crowded bars).

     

    How can we be doing this poorly? We're supposed to have a good draft guy in Nix but It doesn't seem like our picks are contributing all that much (at least the ones who are healthy) Best looks head and shoulders above the Spiller-- and he plays for the Lions! I don't mean to be all doom and gloom because I think in 1-2 drafts we'll be looking much better, but damn, I expected a bit more intensity from this team.

  9. I actually thought his presser was pretty good. CG accepted blame for not having a better offensive game plan. Many of you might disagree with me, but I like the fact that he accepts responsibility. It should motivate him to come up with a better game plan next week! I think will all of the things going against our team (new defense, shaky O-line, lack of a QB with balls, no LBs) we need to give Chan 1/2 a season before we call for his head.

  10. As an escape from the inevitable Trent stinks, Chan stinks, Spiller is a bust, Lynch stinks bravado that is sure to come, I noted some general observations of my own.

     

    Defense:

    The Defense looked just as good as last season with the addition of some looks that got pressure to the QB.

     

    When it came to stopping the run in the 4th the quarter, it appears there is still some work to do. It looked a lot like someone figured out if you get your arms up around Henne it will buy the rush time to get there.

    Mckelvin may have played his best game as a Bill. He was outstanding when he drew Marshall's number.

    Poz is hurt again. The guy just can't stay healthy. Man I miss London Fletcher.

     

    The D looked as good in the fourth quarter as they did in the first. Seems like a tougher camp was just what the doctor ordered.

     

    Offense:

    Nelson showed why he made the roster over Hardy. He seems to get open ad make some plays.

     

    Spiller got his first glimpse of real NFL defensive speed and that he will not be able to outrun CB's and LB's for the home run. Marshawn Lynch is the best #3 back in the league, period.

     

    The O-Line has so much work to do. Consecutive holding calls negated an outstanding completion to Nelson deep over the middle.

     

    The outside hitch to Evans may have been one of the best throws I can remember from Trent. It was an NFL throw. The throw to Parrish was a great read and nice throw. The last two series made me forget all of that. How do you not just throw it up at that point? "Cocky gun slinger wanted"

     

    Special teams:

    Kicking game is still a strength. Are there any questions as to why the team extended Corey McIntyre? He was a Special teams standout.

     

    Coaching:

    Chan Gailey showed that he can make in game adjustments in the 4th quarter which resulted in one of the best drives of the game. That 4th and 11 throw to Parish for 6 is a play DJ would not have even called in practice.

     

    A lot of people are going to gripe about the safety. It was playing to win. That is what playing to win means. You take some chances, accept what you can do well and try to create a chance. I mean come on. After the first 3 series, even if the a 4th down play was converted, it was clear that the moxie needed to will the team to a win was not under center. I think Chan now knows what he has got now. I expect to see some changes very soon.

     

    Outlook:

    This schedule is tough. They could easily play very good football and still go into Jacksonville 0-4.

     

    all true. Chan DOES now know what he has. I think Trent only has 2-3 more games to show something of that. 0-4 (0-3 in the afce) would be the end of our season. If Trent dosent streach the field he will be finished

  11. If Whitner sucks so bad that a FAN can see that he is garbage, why would a team, even one weak at safety want the guy? And if they did, why would they trade Buffalo for even a semi decent o-linemen???????

     

    Man people are stupid..............

     

    For those who actually saw the game, the reason the Bills lost was because they don't have an offence, and don't have a QB. Miami knew that they could sit back and just stop the run all day cause theres no way that Edwards was going to beat them with his arm. The defence, mostly because of the play of the DB's, did a great job holding Miami back all day and keeping the Bills close. Problem was that just like last year, unless they were getting in the endzone, they weren't going to be scoring much.

     

    Once again, read the OP. Obviously our offense was the reason for our loss. I was simply commenting that his mouth is growing tiresome.

  12. That's right... Go Bills!!!! (at least this week) :w00t:

     

    Crush those impostors of South Beach!!!!! I might not like the other teams in the division, but those Teal and Pink pieces of crap with sparkles in their helmets deserve to be driven from the face of the planet. F them!!!! Smack that stupid-lookin' Henne right in the friggin' mouth!

    Ouchies! My poor ears hurt :(

     

     

    *Sarcasm*

  13. Additionally, why would a player risk injury to play in a meaningless game? Unlike the Probowl- which is an honor to play in, players would risk injury just to prove that they can beat a college team? I don't think so. You'd also have to assume that they'd want to get paid.

  14. Something about this seems mean spirited and wrong. Why would the lowest NFL team want to highlight the fact that they suck-- by playing the best college team. Even if the game turned out to be close, I would imagine that the NFL team might turn dirty just to ensure that they won. Still though, I can't imagine any instance where the college team would win, unless of course the entire NFL team had a case of the runs.
