You have missed some other details for pessimism: 1. Nigel Bradham may get suspended for pot possession. 2. Hairston is gone for the year. What happens if Pears goes down to injury? 3. With Gilmore we have average corners. Without Gilmore, we may have the worst corners in the NFL. 4. Byrd doesn't want to play for the Bills anymore and I think he has a poor year. 5. Like Marcel Darius last year, C. J. Spiller will be dealing with a tragedy in his life just before the start of the season. This may affect him all year. Yes, I am in panic mode. Another year with no hint of the playoffs. Problem is after four or five weeks when they are out of contention, the Sabres are up with the same problem. We will not be able to fall back on them since they will suck too. You have missed some other details for pessimism: 1. Nigel Bradham may get suspended for pot possession. 2.

Not to rain on this parade, but I think E.J. Manual will be a bust and we will be drafting another QB in three years after Kolb plays one year and Manual gets two years to prove he is a bust. I watched him play at Florida State and he is not a starter in the NFL. I went to the Florida State Vs. Gators game last year and he was terrible with three interceptions and completed 50% of his passes. He sucked against good teams. He is not Cam Newton and will never be anything but a back up QB talent. He is Jamarcus Russell with more of a work ethic. He is a nice guy, well spoken, smart but is not a guy that will lead your team to victories in the fourth quarter. He can not will this team to victory and that is what this team needs in a first round QB. He was a third round talent and no more. We let Dee Milliner go to the jets, and then the Jets got Geno Smith. I hate the Jets and I give them higher grades for there picks. I like the Woods and Alonso picks. But why try to get Carlos Dansby and then draft an Alonso? I guess Dansby isn't signing with the Bills? Marquise Goodwin has speed but he can't run routes and has little experience. He is another T. J Graham. Why do we need two inexperienced fast wide receivers? Why didn't we grab a TE, guard or CB in this spot? Duke Williams was a good pick, but why did we take another safety in the fifth round? We just moved Aaron Williams to SS to compete with Searcy. Are we going to let Byrd walk after this year? What the hell was this? We still have glaring needs at Guard, TE, and CB. Why didn't we take CB Jordan Poyer in the fifth round. Why didn't we take Barret Jones who can play guard and center in the fourth round? These players were available.

Another failure by this front office. Can't lure free agents with no QB and no real plan. I'll give them credit for at least trying, but unless they over pay, I don't see them landing any significant free agents. Nix has been an absolute failure throughout his Bills tenure and it starts with the Gailey hire. We are a laughingstock again and it is getting very old. Add Regier as a total failure also. What has he done to improve this team.as we sit near the bottom of the standings with an owner that will freely spend for a winner. Why is Regier and Nix still employed?

Draft Manual as your next QB and this franchise will not make playoffs for another 10 years. I've watched him play in several games and he is not the answer. I saw him play in each game Florida State lost last year and he was a major reason they lost. His inconsistency is overwhelming. He also does not know how to play in poor weather. If he is the Bills pick for QB, I'd rather the Bills not draft a QB this year and go with Jackson. This team can not afford to waste a first round pick on a QB with as many holes as Manual. He can not win games for you. He plays not to lose and in no way can he dominate a game in the college level let alone the pros. He is a third round talent and nothing more. I'd rather have Fitzpatrick.

It is great what he says, But at this point Nix and the entire football staff have failed miserably so far this free agency period.. This team has gotten much worse on paper since Marrone has arrived. I don't blame him but he has provided nothing as far as a plan to get this team to improve.

Hard to believe it could get any worse for Buffalo sports teams, but today it took another step toward the surreal, 1. Buffalo Sabres trade TJ Brennan, a former second round pick to the Florida Panthers for a fifth round pick.What the hell is that? He was our leading scorer in Rochester, he is very young, he comes to the Sabres as a power play specialist on the back line with a rifle shot and we trade him for a fifth round pick while we keep Hecht on the roster who is 35 years old and can't score on an open net. Absolutely inept. The Sabres then send Grigorenko back to Quebec and waist a year of his contract. Absolutely inept. 2. Buffalo Bills have no QB, No second WR, No starting guard, no ILB, No second starting caliber CB, and depth problems all over the place, huge amount of free agency money to spend, and the Bills do nothing. Absolutely inept. 3. Buffalo Bulls Basketball Team fires there coach which could lead to the loss of their best player ever, Mcrae, and potentially other starters on a team that could very well make an NCAA tournament run next year. I just have one thing to say. Why now? Why risk this move on the heels of a potential break out year next year? Absolutely inept. 4. Buffalo Bulls Football team signs their inept coach to a contract extension when he hasn't won more than 4 games in a season yet. Absolutely inept. I could go on and on but it is the same old story year in and year out. No playoffs for any of our Buffalo teams since I don't know when and it appears that this is going to continue for a long long time since these teams have piss poor management.

Getting worried about losing one of these players without any compensation. I personally can't believe they haven't even really attempted to sign them yet. My feeling is if they can't afford both sign them anyway and then trade one of them later. At least get something for them. I know this is easier said then done, but they did it with Peerless Price many years ago through a trade. Both of these players could be worth a first round pick if traded. They are just entering their peek years in the league. I am sick of losing our best players after their first contract because of our unwillingness to sign them. These players should have been signed last year to prevent this situation. I could give a crap about signing Jackson and Colin Brown today! Sign the players that matter. If we lose one of them with no compensation, this is a major strike against this new front office and coaching staff.

The pick will depend on whether or not Levitre can be signed. If not, take Eric Fisher if available. If we lock up Levitre, then we go with either Dee Milliner to solidify the other lock down corner position which is needed in Pettine's defense, or take best available LB.

Very concerned with the hired Special Teams coach, Crossman. Do you remember the friend/special teams coach Wade Phillips hired. Can't remember his name, but he was absolutely abysmal and Wade basically refused to fire him and was subsequently fired for this stupidity. (Can you say Music City Miracle). The Crossman hire seems very similar. The guy had one of the worst special teams in the league the last two years in Detroit and this is who Marrone grabs for the Bills because he is an old friend. I see the same problem here and this may cost the Bills some games next year. Hell he could have hired Bobby April again, he was available. This is the biggest concern I have with this new coaching staff.

If we hire any coach from Arizona, I will be sick to my stomach. I'd rather have Gailey back. Why would we get rid of one loser for another loser. Hell Gailey beat Whisenhunt this year in Arizona. I honestly can't believe they are even wasting there time interviewing losers from another team. As far as Marrone, Syracuse has not really been world beaters during his coaching tenure against mediocre competition in the Big Least Conference. McCoy doesn't do much for me either. It was Payton Manning and the defense that led them to where they are not him. Lovie would be acceptable if he brings a real offensive coordinator on board. Chip Kelly would be great unless he plans to come to the NFL for a few years and leave to go back to the college ranks like several other college coaches have in the recent past. Why not Holmgren? He led Green Bay and Seattle to the Super Bowl and knows how to win cold weather.

We don't want Barkley in Buffalo. Southern Cal players can't handle playing in the cold weather. He doesn't have the arm strength and is another Sanchez clone. Landry Jones is a product of the system in Oklahoma. Put him in Buffalo and he too will fail. We need aplayer that can play in the Buffalo weather who has a gun for an arm and true leadership skills. I don't see that player in this years draft. I would take a flyer in the 2 or third round for Nassib, Glennon, or Murray if he comes out.

Well if we are considering (based on early rumors) Grimm, Horton, and Whisenhunt - three Arizona cast off losers, Jay Gruden who is running the 22 best offense in the league in Cincinnati, things look pretty Grimm (no pun intended).

We need a head coach who has been a winner in the NFL. I see Chip Kelly failing after two years and running back to college ball. It is time to open up the check book and sign a real proven NFL coach. I don't want more offensive and defensive coordinators who have never been a Head NFL coach (Grimm, Gruden,, Horton etc. We need a real NFL coach that is going to get the fans excited to buy season tickets. Gailey, Malarkey, Jauron, Williams were all second tier coaching candidates that failed. I also don't trust Buddy Nix to pick the next head coach.He tried and failed and is mad that Gailey was fired. You can stick continuity up his ass. We need a coach who can coach on game day and recruit top assistant coaches. My top three are 1. Cowher, 2. Jon Gruden, 3. Jimmy Johnson

Actually I would love for this to happen but more realistically, Cowher is HC, Gailey is retained as offensive coordinator to maintain continuity so we keep the offense intact to some degree. It was Cowher that recommended Gailey as head coach for the Bills, He stated that if he was to come back as a coach, Gailey would be his offensive coordinator. Cowher is the reason Gailey was hired. The defensive Coordinator, Romeo Crennell. Of course, then I woke up from my dream and realize that Gailey, Nix and Wannstadt have been retained for yet another year with no change in ownership and Byrd and Levitre leave as free agents.

I think Levitre is more important than Byrd. Great to keep the starting offensive line intact. He is a must sign in order to keep Wood from walking next year. They are good friends and were drafted by the Bills in the same year. If Levtre is resigned, Wood is resigned next year. Levtre walks, Wood walks next year which could be a real sad situation and will set back the O-line once again.
