I am pulling for spiller to have a big day as my team has been beaten up all year. Number one pick? Jamal Charles. Best receiver? Kenny Britt. I picked up Kevin Smith on the wire on Tuesday and he was hurt Thursday. I am #2 in my league and about to lock up the #2 seed but I meed Spiller to step up big time for me.
I took Charles in the first round too, also paired that with Ryan Grant in the middle rounds thinking he would bounce back on a high scoring offense. I picked up CJ but Im not starting him, at least not on the road against the Jets. After the Miami game I dont see him getting many goalline carries and I think Johnny White gets a near even splits in carries.

Cements his place as 3rd on the depth chart as he is out performed by a fifth round rookie making the league minimum. Homers rave about 6 yard sweep that "almost" went for 50.

It's deja vu all over again. The 2010 draft is looking like more of the same old, same old. If people defended Modrak, then they will defend Foghorn Nix. Buddy please upgrade our OL with a 4th, 5th and a 7th rounder because you said it was a priority. Please upgrade our WR corp with more undrafted F/As. Please spend 10 million on a LB who went on IR after stretching in practice and played a few games the next year and then he gets achilles surgery. Now there's a building block for the future.

Exchange Spiller and Troup for Dez Bryant and Gronkowski that's how important the draft is.
Jeez Dez and Gronk, that hurts. I never understood the passing on Gronk especially since he was a local boy rated no.1 at his position. Buddys 2010 draft is as bad as any of our recent draft debacles. Spiller wont start next year, so by that time we will have 21 million into CJ and his 400 yards a year from scrimmage. Troup wont start behind Dareus and KW. Carrington/Moats maybe, probably more rotation players, Batten will be lucky to make the team. Easley, well you know the story.
I dont get the people who like CJ's potential. The speed I dont see, and that goal line run against Miami goes in the gutless hall of fame.

Chan is safe but he's not blameless. Chan hires the coaches he wants. Just as the front office is responsible for bringing in talent, and players are responsible for their performance, if a coach is performing as bad as Edwards, he better be fired at seasons end.
-
The thing about this years defense is you can beat them anyway you want. Ground and pound or through the air. They're on their heels, never attacking.
-
I wonder if Barnett can play outside because if you want nasty next year Vontaze Burfict is your man.
-
I would look for somebody under Dick Lebeau in Pittsburgh that has an understanding of what a championship D looks like.
-
I hope not because he's still our best corner.

In regards to #11, I never get the venom spewed at Sully's way on this site. 12 years with no playoffs and the homers think this guy should write glowing stories of the team and front office. The only difference between this year and other years is the good month stretch came at the start of the season.
-
I'll pass, he's made of glass and we have enough problems with guys on IR.

Are you talking about a pie eating contest or next weeks game?
-
In case you haven't noticed, of the current contenders for the last wild card spot, only Cincy has won more games than Buffalo. None of those teams is good. I know some of you want to throw a temper tantrum and write off the Bills because they've looked terrible the last 3 weeks, but momentum can change quickly in the NFL. I think a 9-7 team will get a wild card this year. Find a way to beat the Jets next week and they're right back in solid position, amazingly.
Cue Jim Mora and playoffs soundbyte.

Seeing how we add 1-2 starters every 2 drafts, I see this thing turned around by 2021.

It takes time to build a team, to build depth where an injury doesn't kill you. Our roster is not very talented - Nix and Gailey are in year two. They should take some blame for sure but we only have about 10 bonafide NFL players. The defensive line is a mess of cuts of cuts. The choice of who to play when does fall on Edwards, again they dont have the personel to be great but they could be okay (21--25). Offensively just not even fair- we fall behind three touchdowns before the first quarter is over. Until you can stop the other team it really doesn't matter.
Its OK, I've only been waiting 12 years.

spiller- playing behind a probowler. so your point is that we should stop giving the ball to our super productive back and start giving it to the back up. silly. until he is in a position to be a feature back the jury is still out. that is the reality of the situation
troup/carrington- have been the only depth we have had at any position no matter how poor it has been
easley- serious health problems, no idea what his ceiling or basement is to be fair
wang- 5th rounder and we have some ok tackles suprisingly, they all just happen to be hurt
moats- actually a decent pick in the 6th round. you expect picks this low to be expendable and he has played pretty well
calloway/brown- really we are going to wine about another super low round pick. wahhhh my 7th round pick isnt super great. lets get real.
looking at good drafting teams, they hit on the draft at about 50% of their picks. the last 2 seem to have provided some depth wich is good. there was an artice a week or 2 ago and we have something like 11 guys left on the team from the 2005-2009 with 1 from 07 and none from 08. there is no team in the league with a poorer roster than that.
take the gun out of your mouth, there is some improvement, but intill there is a roster we cant make realistic judgments. or if you would like you can blow your head off because of 2 failed 7th rounders, a bad 5th rounder, and the guy we have backing up our pro bowler.
Where did I ever say we should stop giving the ball to Fred? I just said Spiller was a bad pick, which it was.

Well after being briefly fooled into thinking we might be turning this around, reality has come back to slap us all in the face. The endless repeat of Groundhog Day that is the Buffalo Bills in the new century continues. The uninspiring coaching hires. Chan now has 9 wins and 17 losses and were headed for even worse with 6 games to go. The coordinators that have no business running an NFL unit, from DJs offensive coordinators to Chan's hiring of Edwards. The front office's craptastic drafting continues. A philosphy of building through RBs and CBs not the OL and defensive front 7. The entire 2010 draft is a collection of busts and backups. Yes Dareus is the real deal in 2011, but any fan, even without a southern drawl and a "football man" adjective, could of made that pick. Tell me Buddy, how do you like your young recievers now? These guys couldnt get separation from Liz Taylor. The drafting into strength(picking Spiller with FJ and Lynch on the roster) while ignoring holes. If it's hard to get people to come to Buffalo, why do you pass on Gronkowski and Mike Williams, two local products in the draft? Instead of people defending Modrak we'll have a new crop defending Foghorn Leghorn Nix sleeping during free agency.
The signing-resignings and policy of "buy high, sell low" continues. Trading 1s for 4s. Yes let's resign Fitz at the height of his negotiation strength(Jauron part 2) to watch him put up Trent Edwards numbers since. Great now were locked into Fitz for years to come. Lets extend KW, a probowl ALTERNATE, even though hes under contract and not going anywhere. Lets not show Freddie the money but we will show Kelsay the money. Lets have a ton invested in 2 DT's even though the team stated they want to run a 3-4. More gimmick flyers but instead of 1 year of TO we going to have 2 and half years and 10 million plus into Merriman and his chronic achilles.
It's just the same crap year after year after year.
-
Well were 1-4 over the last 5 games, I'd say the only team worse in that stretch is the Colts.
-
One of the most gutless efforts I've ever seen. CJ might flourish on dancing with the stars, because hitting the hole isn't his forte.
-
Why do people undermine their own credibility with idiotic statements like this?
Maybe because entering the season Dareus in the only guy starting from 2 drafts? Or because its true. Well we can count Sheppard after a few games. So thats 2 starters in 2 drafts. Buddy should have this turned around in 11 years or so then.
-
Which FA OL and LB did we not pursue again?
Please substantige "overall mediocre draft, player by player.
Spiller---below not even mediocre and at 7 million a season
Troup---big nothing burger, this pick with local boy Gronk rated no. 1 TE on the board.
Carrington--mediocre, backup
Easley--zip
Batten--lucky to be on a roster
Ed Wang--cut
Moats---mediocre
Calloway--cut.
Levi Brown--nothing burger
-
I was in favor of giving fitz an extension but with the way he has played on the road in any hint of wind just proves he is not an NFL starter...and chan is at best an OC
Sign Lebron now, get er done Buddy!!!

Fitz would be awesome if he had 7 foot receivers.
the most important position that needs an upgrade

I remember reading a story years ago when Polian first came in how he upgraded the scouting deparment, spending more money, more scouts and treating them better, getting bigger cars since a lot them were big guys being former players. I wonder about our scouting department after this millenium of draft busts.
